"Maragsâ"
In Philippine linguistics, the word "Maragsâ" refers to a stress pattern, a rapid, intense emphasis on the final syllable followed by a glottal stop. It is the last breath, pronounced forcefully,
a sentence that strikes and echoes rather than fades.
In spite of its phonetic roots, Maragsâ possesses poetic power. It becomes a metaphor for a generation that lives quietly, constructs silently, and chooses to finish loudly,
meaningfully, and shamelessly.
Maragsâ becomes a sign of passion, disruption, and purpose, the beauty of an unconventional rhythm in a world of practiced cadence.
This is the label given to the Batch of 2025. The meaning-bearers. The young, who are like waves, gathering beneath the surface, speaking to make an impact rather than to impress. The batch challenged by a pandemic, but came out adaptive and empowered. Their deeds, like Maragsâ, are not always immediate, but rather felt.
Maragsâ is more than just a style of speaking; it is a way of being.
For the Seniors' Batch of 2025, it encapsulates the delayed power, the careful emergence,
and the last phrase that transforms everything into purpose.
