All from Banaao, Tadian, Mountain Province

May they all rest in God's eternal peace.

They walked the hallways, sat in the classrooms, socialized with teachers and schoolmates, and participated in school activities.

They were among young hopefuls who, under the roof of Cagubatan NHS, shaped personalities, learned lessons, discovered potentials, and dreamed of a big future.

Now they're gone, not realizing those dreams for themselves and their families.

With heavy hearts, the Cagubatan NHS family extends its condolences to the bereaved families of these young alumni who lost their lives due to gas poisoning, a mining-related tragic incident in Ampucao, Itogon, Benguet on October 1, 2026.

May you be strong in the Lord, in this time of sorrow.

[Update] Mga estudyante, nakinabang sa Cyber Safety at Anti-Bullying Campaign

Pinangunahan ng mga kinatawan ng Philippine National Police (PNP), partikular ang Tadian Municipal Police Station, Regional Mobile Force Batallion (RMFB, 152nd Infantry), at Provincial Mobile Force Company (PMFC), ang isang lecture sa Cagubatan National High School (CNHS) noong June 26,2026 para sa kabataan na naglalayong itaguyod ang ligtas na paggamit ng social media o teknolohiya at ipaunawa ang batas laban sa digital exploitation at bullying. Binigyan pansin ang salitang "Think before you click" bagamat malaki ang tulong ng cellphone maari itong magdulot ng kapahamakan kung hindi gagamitin sa tamang paraan.

Sa ulat ng mga aktibidad,nagbahagi ang mga tagapagsalita ng mga gabay sa wastong pag-uugali online,tulad ng pagpili ng tamang kaibigan,pag-iingat sa pagbabahagi ng lokasyon at pagsusuri kung ang profile ay para sa edukasyon o personal na gamit. Ipinaalala rin sa mga mag-aaral ang kahalagahan ng paghingi ng pahintulot bago mag-post ng larawan ng ibang tao,pati narin ang paggamit ng privacy settings upang maprotektahan ang sarili.

Bukod sa digital safety,naging sentro din ang Republic act 9344 o ang Anti-Bullying Act upang mas maunawaan ng kabataan ang iba't ibang uri ng pambubyli gaya ng pisikal,berbal,cyberbullying at sosyal. Tinalakay din ang OSAEC AT CSAEM, isa sa mga bagay na dapat labanan at iwasan ng mga tao lalo na ang kabataan. Layuning nitong ituro sa mga estudyante na iwasan ang paglahok sa ganitong mga gawain,igalang ang mga responsibilidad ng bawat isa mapa loob o labas ng paaralan o bahay at agad na isumbong o i-report sa mga awtoridad ang ano mang uri ng pang-aabuso o pambubuli sa ilalim ng prinsipyong "kung may nakita kang masama,magsalita at ipagbigay-alam ito".

Mr. William Wap from the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO) praised the team for their alertness and swift extrication of victims. "You really did the extrication smoothly and quickly. In a real earthquake, you would have saved those lives", he said.

Moreover, PAT ERNESTO ACLOPEN from the PNP-Regional Mobile Force Battalion (RMFB) 152nd Maneuver Company noted and praised the rescuers' resourcefulness. "You were resourceful enough to use materials that you found around the victims to assist them, and that shows your skills", he said.

Meanwhile, PMsg BENJI O ALIGID of the Tadian Municipal Police Station (Tadian MPS) commended the cooperation of all students and school personnel. "Maila ay amin et naki-cooperate. Nan-cover kayo amin si ulo yo, nen-duck kayo ay usto, ya naurnos kayo ay nan-evacuate", he said.

Furthermore, FO2 FREDY ABIBICO of the Tadian Fire Station appreciated the coordination of the incident command team, and the rescue team, and provided some tips for improvement for the next drill. "Maibagak ay very good, ngem baken 10 over 10, tapno wada paylang di man-improvean tako", he casually joked.

This is the first time that an earthquake drill conducted at school was observed and assessed by officers from the different partner agencies. Ms. Orilda Lagawed, School Head of Cagubatan NHS thanked the visiting evaluators, and committed that the faculty and students will perform better in the next earthquake drill. "We have also observed some flaws, and we will improve these next time", Ms. Lagawed promised.

[Update] Putting God First: Holy mass kicks off first day of school in CNHS

A eucharistic celebration was held to initiate the activities of the first day of school at Cagubatan National High School earlier today, June 8, 2026.

The holy mass was sponsored by the St. Francis of Assisi Episcopal Church of Cagubatan, with Father Carl Jim Pusi, and Deacon Alkin Macalingay as mass celebrants. In his homily, Fr. Pusi emphasized the importance of practicing godly values in school, particularly mutual care, wisdom, and compassion. "Students, aywanan yo nan teachers yo tay aywa-aywanan da dakayo", he said. He also added that students should emulate King Solomon's choice of wisdom over wealth, and further encouraged them to practice "seg-ang" or compassion towards their schoolmates, teachers, parents and the community people. The holy mass was followed by the blessing of all rooms and facilities of the school, led by Fr. Pusi and Deacon Macalingay, together with School Head Orilda C. Lagawed.

The holy mass was organized by School Heaad Lagawed, together with Teacher V Geraldine P. Lawin, Teacher VI Bella L. poking, and Teacher V Nora A. Dagdagui. This was in coordination with the members of the St. Francis of Assisi congregation from the community of Cagubatan, including Ms. Cleta Alunday, Mr. Orvin Guing-awan, and Mr. Johnrey Guing-awan.

According to SH Lagawed, it is proper to start the first day of school with a holy mass, "putting God first in everything we do" as she described.

Present also during the eucharistic celebration were PTA President Rexon G. Timidan and other PTA members.

After this, a short opening program was held, where the students were welcomed by the faculty and staff, and the teachers and non-teaching personnel of the school were introduced to the students.

Mount Mogao fire: a lesson ignored

The most recent mountain fire on April 14, 2026 that swallowed our famous Mount Mogao is no longer just a simple environmental problem, but an issue of moral responsibility. Everybody knows how detrimental it could be to the environment and to nearby communities if we keep burning our mountains, and yet we keep doing it all the same. Is it carelessness, or simply ignoring our God-given natural resources?

Mountain fires or forest fires can cause serious damage, whether they happen naturally or are caused by humans. In Mount Mogao, the possibility of intentional burning makes the situation even more alarming. This highlights the need for better prevention and stronger protection measures.

The fire on Mount Mogao is a warning for all of us. If we do not act now, we risk losing more than just forests, we risk our future. It shows how fragile our natural resources have become due to human carelessness. It raises important questions about responsibility and awareness.

Prevention is always better than reacting after the damage has already been done.
