Brace yourselves as we read, write, and inspire our way through APEC Schools' first semester as we dive into the depths of our ancestry through celebrating Araw ng Wika, explore the festivities of United Nations Day, and read to our heart’s desires through Literary Appreciation Day. Moreover, let’s travel the world beyond the classroom as we dive into articles about food scarcity and high profile governing bodies. We'll even get to explore the question - ‘What is going on inside their head?”, by serving you science articles with an Inside Out twist, followed by more fun articles to look out for! But remember, we are only halfway through. So buckle up your seatbelts as we prepare for the next two quarters with a bang! 

What if every school moment spoke louder than it seems? This issue captured a semester that truly mattered—from the Student Council's project in BNHS-Gawaran to the pulse of the Student Council elections, student leadership wasn’t just encouraged—it was amplified. We explored ideas on Math and Science Day, mapped dreams during Career Development Week, and gained inspiration on a memorable Field Trip. Club days showcased talent and teamwork, all leading to the pride of Special Clubs Recognition Day. Our literary section also echoed identity and strength. Feature articles on Cavite Day, Labor Day, and EDSA reminded us of our roots, while the opinion section tackled youth in politics, public health, and current headlines. Sci-Tech dove into PCOS and climate change. And as we relive Fun Week and the G10 & G12 Ball, we ask—what does it mean to lead a life that leaves a mark? Maybe the answer is here, in these pages.
