Ever wonder why ships/boats are referred to as females? Because they carry lives inside them across the sea, much like mothers carry a baby inside them also.

Every motherโ€™s journey is unique, but no mother should ever feel she has to walk it alone. Today, May 6th, marks World Maternal Mental Health Day, a global reminder to prioritize the well-being of those who give life.

With 1 in 7 women experiencing postpartum depression or anxiety, it is vital to remember that these challenges are common, treatable, and never a reflection of a motherโ€™s worth. By speaking openly, we break the stigma and ensure that seeking support is seen as a sign of strength rather than a struggle.

We can all play a part by checking in on the mothers in our lives with genuine kindness and offering a helping hand where it's needed most. If you are struggling today, please know that it is not your fault and you are not alone. Letโ€™s commit to fostering a community where every mother feels seen, heard, and supported in her mental health journey. ๐Ÿ’›

And the Psychology Society wishes all mothers in the world to be healthy !!

Itโ€™s wild, isnโ€™t it? Just one week leftโ€”one final push before the curtain closes. How is that even possible, when it feels like only yesterday we were trembling on our way to school, unsure if weโ€™d make it through?

Now the yellow pad is worn thin, the pen has run dry, and everything feels like itโ€™s winding downโ€”including my heart, because I know Iโ€™ll miss thisโ€” ๐—œโ€™๐—น๐—น ๐—บ๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜€ ๐˜‚๐˜€.

And just like that, ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—น ๐˜†๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—น๐˜† ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ.

But endings also mean beginnings. This week isnโ€™t just about examsโ€”itโ€™s about proving to yourself how far youโ€™ve come, how much youโ€™ve grown, and how ready you are for the next chapter. Yes, itโ€™s surreal, overwhelming even. But itโ€™s also a chance to leave your mark, to close this chapter with courage and pride.

So hereโ€™s to the final push: may your answers be sharp, your mind steady, and your spirit unshaken. Good luck on your exams, may you conquer them like the warrior youโ€™ve become. And when the last page is turned, may you step into the next story with the same fire that carried you through this one.

Did you know thereโ€™s something called laughter yoga, where laughter starts off intentional and forced. . . until it becomes completely genuine?๐Ÿค”

Every first Sunday of May we celebrate the ๐™’๐™ค๐™ง๐™ก๐™™'๐™จ ๐™‡๐™–๐™ช๐™œ๐™๐™ฉ๐™š๐™ง ๐™™๐™–๐™ฎ which originated from Dr. Madan Kataria's laughter therapy which was founded in 1980 at Mumbai. It serves as a reminder that laughter can be practiced and intentional.

In every bond, conversations, and situations, laughter seems to be the ray of sunshine that lightens up the atmosphere the moment it is triggered by humor or unintentional witty remarks. It doesn't only remind us of how fun it is to be carefree and let out that barking laugh; it also creates connection among people, and has health benefits as it improves our happiness levels. Even the fake ones we let out have its own emotional benefits!

So if you're looking for a sign to throw those silly jokes at your loved ones, this is it! Go for it. Take this as a sign to brighten up their day! โ˜€๏ธ

01/05/2026

Every year on May 1, Labor Day is celebrated in the Philippines to acknowledge the crucial role played by Filipino workers in the country's progress. This day serves to honor the contributions and accomplishments of workers while also remembering labor movements. It pays tribute to the dedication, resilience, and sacrifices made by individuals across various sectors, including offices, factories, agriculture, and services. This serves as an important reminder of the persisting challenges workers encounter in their pursuit of fair treatment and appropriate compensation.

On this International Labour Day, let us show our appreciation and dedicate ourselves to building a world where each person is honored and respected.

Through the Sakto Skills Serye, graduating students from the Psychology Department were given the opportunity to enhance their skills in effective communication and resume writing key competencies that will support them as they transition from academic life to the professional world.

We extend our sincere appreciation to the Rotaract Club of Metro Zamboanga for providing this valuable opportunity to our graduating Psychology students. This initiative not only strengthened their job readiness but also empowered them with confidence and practical tools they can carry into their future careers.

The WMSU Psychology Society remains committed to supporting programs that promote student development, mental readiness, and career preparedness. Together, we continue to create meaningful pathways for our future psychology professionals. ๐Ÿ’ผโœจ

Today, April 9, marks the date of the Fall of Bataan in 1942 during World War II, when the Filipino and American forces were forced to surrender to the Japanese Imperial Army after months of fighting without reserves and support and scarcity of resources.

This honors the roughly 76,000 soldiers who were forced into the brutal Bataan Death March, a 100-kilometer trek under agonizing circumstances where thousands died due to exhaustion, dehydration, and abuse.

And this day has been a national observance holiday in the Philippines. While some holidays were celebrated for their victories, Araw ng Kagitingan, or Day of Valor, commemorates a moment of strategic defeat. It was shifted from mourning for the defeat to admiring and celebrating the indomitable spirit of the Filipino people.

This day is not meant to commemorate the surrender, it is to celebrate the heroism that comes with it and the resiliency of the Filipino people.
