KAPARA was recognized during the 24th Regional Higher Education Press Conference

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐫’𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 ‘𝐊𝐀𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐀’

TOMO III, Isyu Blg. 2

Sa kaibuturan ng Republic Central Colleges, hindi lamang nabubuo ang ugnayan—ito ay hinuhubog ng panahon at paninindigan. Isang kapatirang hindi nasusukat sa lapit ng pagkakaibigan kundi sa lalim ng pangakong magbuklod sa kabila ng pagkakaiba. Sa oras ng pangangailangan, ito ang nagsisilbing lakas; sa gitna ng pagsubok, ito ang nananatiling sandigan.

Higit sa mga proyekto at programang inilalaan para sa komunidad, nakabuo ng makabagong pagpapakahulugan sa ‘pamilya’ ang isang institusyon. Kasama sa patuloy na pag-unlad ng paaralang ito ang kwento ng aming mga kapatid. Ang pangako na itinudla sa nakaraan ay magpapatuloy para sa kwentong walang buod, walang tuldok.

Ito ay para sa aming mga kapara: “Lugud king kapara ku, lingap ing abiye ku.”

(Pagmamahal sa kapwa ko, pagkalinga ang maibibigay ko.)
