Roxas City, Capiz — In a hall filled with rhythm, language, and culture, three young performers stood under the lights—not just to compete, but to tell a story. When the final results of the National Festival of Talents (NFOT) 2026 were announced, Dr. Cecilio Putong National High School – Senior High School (DCPNHS-SHS) had carved its name among the country’s best, earning 1st Runner-Up in the Likhawitan category.

But behind the applause was a journey shaped by quiet rehearsals, long hours, and a shared belief in the power of the arts.

Representing the school were Jeremiah D. Barillo, Godwin A. Rulida, and Joanna Marie S. Naldo—students who transformed their craft into a performance that resonated beyond the stage. Guided by their coach, John Paul P. Tinampay, the team delivered a piece that blended voice, movement, and language into a compelling narrative. Their effort did not go unnoticed, as they also received the Best in Foreign Language award, a recognition of both skill and daring creativity.

For DCPNHS-SHS, the victory carries a deeper meaning. In a community where opportunities for specialized arts education remain limited, the school stands out as the only Senior High School offering the Arts and Design Track (ADT). This distinction is not just a label—it is a commitment. A commitment to nurture talent, to give space for expression, and to believe that artistry deserves the same stage as any other discipline.

Accompanying the team in Roxas City was School Principal Dr. Legardo R. Palaca Jr., whose presence reflected the school’s strong support system for its learners. For him and the entire school community, the recognition affirms what they have long believed: that when given the right guidance and opportunity, students can rise to national prominence.

The NFOT, a flagship program of the Department of Education, gathers the most talented learners from across the Philippines. To stand out among 17 regional entries is no small feat. Yet for DCPNHS-SHS, it is not merely about winning—it is about representing a vision where creativity thrives and young voices are heard.

As the curtains closed in Roxas City, the echoes of their performance lingered—a reminder that excellence is not only measured in awards, but in the courage to create, perform, and inspire.

And for these young artists from DCPNHS-SHS, this is only the beginning.

SDO Tagbilaran Launches Balikbayan Manggagawa – National Reintegration Network

In support of the initiatives of the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) through the National Reintegration Center for OFWs (NRCO) and Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), the Schools Division Office (SDO) of Tagbilaran City has successfully launched the Balikbayan Manggagawa – National Reintegration Network, reaffirming its commitment to assisting overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in their transition back to the country.

The program aims to strengthen the reintegration of returning Filipino workers by providing access to educational and professional development opportunities. Through this initiative, SDO Tagbilaran underscores the vital role of education in empowering balikbayan workers to rebuild their careers and contribute meaningfully to national development.

During the launching, Remigio S. Quilang (Teacher I, San Isidro National High School), Jacklyn Rio C. Bustrillos (Teacher I, Tiptip Elementary School), and Juvelyn N. Arat (Teacher I, Ubujan Elementary School) shared their heartwarming testimonials about their experiences working abroad. They recounted the many challenges and sacrifices they endured—from being separated from their families to facing uncertainties in a foreign land—yet emphasized how these trials strengthened their resilience and commitment to serve in their home country.

Meanwhile, Dr. Wilfreda D. Bongalos, Schools Division Superintendent, underscored the vital role of OFWs in sustaining and strengthening the country’s economy, recognizing their sacrifices and invaluable contributions as modern-day heroes. She further highlighted key education programs that returning workers can access to support their reintegration. These include the Sa Pinas, Ikaw ang Ma’am at Sir (SPIMS), which assists licensed teachers in resuming their teaching careers in the Philippines; the Alternative Learning System (ALS), which offers a second chance at completing basic education; and the Philippine Educational Placement Test (PEPT), which validates prior learning and competencies acquired outside the formal school system.

This initiative reflects the strong partnership among the Department of Education (DepEd), the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), and the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) in delivering quality and inclusive education for all Filipinos, particularly returning overseas workers.

Mandaue City dismantles Tagbilaran City, books palarong pambansa ticket

NAGA CITY, Cebu -- Mandaue City dealt a tough loss to the Tagbilaran City Sailors erasing their gold medal hopes with a 78-69 triumph in the Central Visayas Regional Athletic Association (CVIRAA) 5x5 Basketball Finals, at Naga City, Cebu, March 26.

Mandaue City's consistent buckets was all it took to dethrone the previous Palarong Pambansa qualifiers, sparking a late double-digit cushion after a rusty 21-16 opener.

Mandaue City went on and held firm in the second frame, halting off a fight back where the Sailors almost converted, entering halftime up 38-32.

From there, Mandaue City slowly pulled away.

Mandaue City produced an offensive run, stretching what was once a single-digit gap into a double-digit advantage, leaving the Sailors having no time to recover.

The Sailors faltered under pressure as they committed costly turnovers that further created more separation on the scoreboard.

The outcome was all but decided in the 4th quarter, and all it took for Mandaue City was to dictate the pace, soon closing out the match with a 78-69 rout.

Mandaue City aims to replicate this masterclass in the upcoming Palarong Pambansa this May 24 to 31 at Agusan del Sur.
