𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐘 𝐁𝐈𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐃𝐀𝐘, 𝐃𝐀𝐍𝐈𝐂𝐀!

Today, we celebrate another year of a Psychology student who continues to grow, learn, and serve as our Second Year Level Representative. Your role is more than simply representing your batch—it is about listening to different perspectives, understanding your fellow students, and making sure that their voices are heard.

Psychology teaches us the value of empathy, communication, and understanding, and we hope you continue to carry these values wherever your journey takes you. May every experience help you understand yourself and others more deeply, while every challenge becomes an opportunity for growth.

As you enter another chapter of your life, may you continue to lead with empathy, learn with curiosity, and serve with purpose. Keep becoming not only a better Psychology student, but also a person who makes others feel seen, heard, and understood.

𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐁𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚! Here’s to another year of growth, meaningful connections, and becoming the future psychologist you aspire to be. 🎂💛

𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗢𝗻: 𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝘃𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀, 𝗣𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵 𝗙𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆!

The preliminary exams are officially here! We know your sleep schedule is currently non-existent, your blood is 90% iced coffee, and your brain is desperately trying to remember if classical conditioning was Pavlov or a skin care routine. ☕

Mga ate, kuya, batchmates, and freshies—take a deep breath! It’s totally normal to feel like your brain buffer icon is spinning right now. But despite the panic, remember:

𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒂𝒏𝒙𝒊𝒆𝒕𝒚 𝒊𝒔 𝒍𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒗𝒆! (𝑫𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒍𝒆𝒕 𝒄𝒐𝒈𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒃𝒊𝒂𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒐𝒍 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒏𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈!)

Quick Reminders:

- Pace yourselves
- Drink actual water alongside that fourth cup of coffee 💧
- Try to get at least a few hours of sleep so you don't hallucinate Freud during the exam 🛌

The entire APS community is cheering you on. Trust the process, read the questions carefully, and claim those top-tier grades!

Grab that coffee, manifest that A+, and let's conquer this week! ☕✨

CLAIM IT. STUDY FOR IT. ACHIEVE IT.
(And then sleep for 12 hours after!) 💚

There are still so many things you haven’t experienced yet—quiet mornings that will feel peaceful, people who will love you gently, places you have yet to see, dreams that are still waiting to be pursued, and little moments that will remind you why you kept going.

You don’t need to figure everything out today. Take your time. Rest when you need to. Cry when it hurts. Start again as many times as you have to.

And someday, you may look back and be grateful that you stayed long enough to see the life you once thought you would never have.

𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲. 𝚿✨ (pt1)

On August 26, 2026, the 2nd Psychology Pinning Ceremony was held at the USI Ozanam Social Hall, marking another meaningful milestone in the journey of our 4th year Psychology students.

More than just a ceremony, the pinning represents the commitment to continue learning and understanding the human mind, embracing empathy and compassion, and carrying the responsibility of becoming future helping professionals.

As each pin was placed, it symbolized not only the knowledge gained throughout the years, but also the purpose, dedication, and heart that each future psychologist brings into the profession.

One pin, one purpose, one step closer to the profession. 𝚿🤍

CHURCH NEWS | “Please Stay”: Pope Leo XIV Says No One Should Face Pain Alone This Su***de Prevention Month

When a young woman named Carmina asked Pope Leo XIV where God could be found “when the darkness is absolute, and we cannot take it anymore,” the Pope did not offer an easy explanation for her suffering.

Instead, he embraced her.

Pope Leo called her presence at the gathering “a remarkable miracle,” recognizing the strength it took for her to embrace a second chance at life.

Drawing from the Gospel accounts of Gethsemane and the Crucifixion, the Pope reflected on how Jesus Himself entered into the depths of human suffering.

In Gethsemane, Jesus experienced anguish. On the Cross, He entered fully into human pain.

For Pope Leo, these moments reveal a God who does not remain distant from those who suffer, but “bears our sorrows, who suffers with us, weeps our tears, and remains at our side.”

Yet the Pope was careful to make an important distinction: pain should not simply be spiritualized or explained away.

“God does not want suffering,” he said. Rather, God carries it with us and invites us to persevere.

That is why, especially as the Philippines observes Su***de Prevention Month this September, Pope Leo’s message calls not only for faith, but also for presence, listening, accompaniment, and proper mental health care.

He urged people not to face their pain in isolation—to open themselves to someone who can listen without rushing to explain their suffering, someone who can simply take them by the hand and help them find a way forward.

Sometimes, we may not have the words to make someone’s pain disappear.

But we can stay. We can listen. We can reach out. And we can help them find the care and support they need.

“Please stay.”

Because even when the darkness feels absolute, the story is not necessarily over.

𝗔𝗗𝗩𝗜𝗦𝗢𝗥𝗬 | The public is advised to wear masks and avoid prolonged outdoor activities as the transboundary haze from the ongoing fires in Kalimantan, Indonesia reach areas of Bicol.

According to weather specialist Benison Estareja of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), air particles from the haze in Indonesia are being pulled into the western parts of the Philippines due to strong winds caused by the southwest monsoon, locally known as "habagat".

The air quality status intensified from moderate to severe as concentrations of air pollutants rose from 74 µg/m³ and 59 µg/m³ to 120 µg/m³ and 170 µg/m³, with an elevated particulate matter (PM) of 2.5.

This can pose harmful effects due to the possible amount of microparticles inhaled into the lungs.

PAGASA and other authorities advise the public to continue exercising precautionary measures to avoid respiratory complications.

𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐒, 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐋𝐄 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐏 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐎𝐒𝐓 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐒 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐀𝐘, “𝐈’𝐌 𝐎𝐊𝐀𝐘.”

Not every struggle is visible. Some people go to class, laugh with friends, reply to messages, and smile for pictures while quietly carrying pain they do not know how to put into words.

According to the 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒉 𝑶𝒓𝒈𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒛𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 (𝑾𝑯𝑶), 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 720,000 𝒑𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒆 𝒅𝒊𝒆 𝒃𝒚 𝒔𝒖𝒊𝒄𝒊𝒅𝒆 every year worldwide. Behind these numbers are people, families, dreams, and lives that mattered.
Research shows that su***de is complex and rarely caused by one single factor. Risk can be influenced by psychological, social, relational, and environmental circumstances, while supportive relationships, connection, healthy coping, and access to professional care can help protect people during difficult moments.

Su***de prevention is not simply about telling someone to “𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠” Sometimes, it is checking in, listening without judgment, staying when you do not have the perfect words, and helping someone find the right support.
We do not have to fully understand someone’s pain before we choose to care.

Let us check on the people who always seem strong and create spaces where asking for help feels safe.

Because su***de prevention is not only about saving a life in a crisis.
