Games of the Mind

By Bella Lucindo

The pursuit of excellence isn’t limited to muscle and motion. Beyond the courts and fields lies a different kind of battleground: the mind.

Pressing Play to Aninaw’s Advocacy

By Reign Querido

GAMEPLAY: In the crevices of one’s pixelated screen, a swarm of misinformation lingers — pesky anonymous posts, edited news, and plenty more claims with no sources. In this day and (digital) age, media literacy is more important than ever. With transparency and fact-checking, it’s up to Aninaw to take a closer look and analyze. With this newfound committee, media education has never been easier. It all comes down to pressing play to its advocacy.

Bluest Picture in the Book

By Reign Querido

PICTURE PERFECT: Graduation pictorials, write-ups for the friends you sit with in the cafeteria, yearbook quotes you saved in your notes app, and the never-ending requirements for your finals — all these are seemingly simple but sweet, a mental checklist before senior high ends if you will. But amidst these daily doses of graduation blues, there’s a quiet but diligent committee out there that collects these fallen crumbs of memories to preserve and cherish them. With BlueBook, the moments gathered within ASHS’s two years are forever kept in the safe home of a yearbook. With their hard work in producing quality work, it’s up to them to recall your years in your book.

Solitude in Solidarity: Compassion through the Vision of Mapulon

By Ellianna Custodio

UNFOLD AND FEEL: To show up for one’s self is easier said than done. Oftentimes, it’s much easier to let one thing after another just amalgamate into a pile, as we are too weary to properly face personal mishaps. But Sandigan Mapulon devotes its existence to reminding us the value of compartmentalizing before that pile becomes all too insurmountable — guiding Ateneans in instilling a care that proliferates from the core and flares out to the periphery. What are the mists that Mapulon has emblazoned and the dusks they aim to embrace?

Unseen Heroes of Mayari: Taking One Step Forward

By Laia De Roma

HEARTFUL HEROISM: Superheroes are not always in the image of sheer power and strength. Perhaps, they can even be seen in the people around us. Though within the ASHS community, there are also people that feel unseen and silenced because of a growing fear of judgement. Yet, this has become a work in progress due to the efforts of Mayari, a group of caring students with their unwavering goal of fostering a true safe space through consistent and unconditional help for absolutely anyone in need of it. Mayari has exemplified that heroes can be fellow students as true heroism is embodied in those that strengthen their hearts for those that have been fragmented.

What are the passages that the committee explores in their adamant pursuit?

Beyond Barbie: Lakambini’s Bridge to Belonging for Women & LGBTQ+ Voices

By Kiera De Guzman

IGNITE : In a world where acceptance feels distant and societal expectations hold us tightly in its grasp, we often find ourselves frozen while everything else rushes past — standing still as we search for who we are. Yet within ASHS, a small but steady light shines through, a place where anyone can exist freely, unburdened by gender or expectation. Lakambini is a spark that rekindles hope in those who feared theirs had faded, offering a home for all who feel lost in the world’s relentless motion.

 Bracing for Impact: Disaster Readiness with Kanlaon

By Gilli Aquino

READY: In a country where calamities and disasters seemingly strike from every corner, the simple act of preparedness has the ability to save lives. Yet unbeknownst to most, readiness goes beyond the commonly repeated lines of “duck, cover, and hold.” Just as with any skill, it must be practiced and learnt through awareness and effort — efforts that are made easier through those in the ASHS with the passion to foster a resilient Ateneo community.
