The Guidance, Counseling, Testing, and Placement Department of Colegio de San Juan de Letran Bataan spearheaded a Self-Management Talk today, September 17, 2025 for the new wave of Letran-Bataan Knights. The seminar was delivered by Mr. Jose Carlo Mari Calinisan, RPm, CHRA, who emphasized the importance of cultivating discipline, balance, and responsibility as the foundation of academic and personal success.

As new students begin their journey in Letran, learning self-management the Letran way means embracing the Arriba Spirit, a spirit of excellence, integrity, and resilience. This talk served as a guide for freshmen on how to manage their time, emotions, and goals, while also fostering adaptability and perseverance in the face of challenges. By equipping our new Knights with these essential life skills, we ensure that they not only thrive academically but also grow as responsible and value-driven individuals, ready to live out the proud tradition of being true Letranites.

The Department of Health (DOH) reported that at the Eastern Visayas Medical Center, one in ten students attempted su***de in 2023. Data from the Department of Education (DepEd) showed 404 student deaths by su***de and 2,147 attempts from 2021–2022. Similarly, the 2021 Young Adult Fertility and Sexuality Study (YAFS5) by the University of the Philippines Population Institute (UPPI) found that one in five Filipinos aged 15–25 considered su***de, with 7.5%—about 1.5 million youths—having attempted it.

As we celebrate the World Su***de Prevention Day today, let us pause and devote our time to remember all the lives we lost, the lives we saved, and the lives still struggling in silence. Today, let us remind ourselves of a truth that pushes the boundary of statistics— that behind every number stated above is a person that is loved by someone, a person who once had a dream just like all of us, and a person with a story that deserves to be heard.

Sometimes prevention begins not with a certainty of cure, but with a simple question that goes: How are you, really? Sometimes the answer is raw human connection that stems from care— a concept strong enough to uproot unspoken struggles, stigma, fear, and pain carried in secrets.

This is why listening isn’t only about hearing words nor lending an ear to those who need it, it is about sensing the pauses in a person’s breath, the faint changes in someone’s expression, and the heaviness in somebody’s eyes. Just as Weber’s Law by Ernst Heinrich Weber teaches us that even the smallest difference can be noticed when we are attentive and varies from a person’s usual state, true listening means being present enough to catch those small shifts that often speak louder than their own words.

This day is a reminder that we should not be bystanders. Let us notice the slightest change, care about the smallest things, and listen beyond somebody’s words. In a world where silence can cost lives, we do not need to be loud, we just need to show up —through presence, through words, through empathy— these things can make a difference between a story’s ending and new beginning. Remember that the smallest act of care does not just save a moment; it saves a life.

September is Su***de Awareness Month. A time to pause, reflect, and remind one another of the immeasurable value of life. At the Guidance, Counseling, Testing, and Placement Department of Colegio de San Juan de Letran–Bataan, we believe that no one should ever feel they have to carry their struggles alone. Every student, every person, is worthy of love, understanding, and support.

Su***de is not the end of a story. It is a call for compassion, listening, and hope. By speaking up, reaching out, and standing together, we can break the silence and stigma that surround mental health.

This month, and every month, let us be the reminder to our friends, classmates, and loved ones: You matter. You are not alone. And there is always help, always hope. 💛

September is ***dePreventionMonth

Ang su***de prevention ay hindi lamang patungkol sa hotline crisis, diagnosis, at treatment. Mahalaga ring maisama rito ang ilan sa mga bagay na mayroong impact sa ating mental health tulad ng pagkakaroon ng good governance, food security, livable wage, accessible healthcare, quality education, strong public infrastructures, at climate justice para magkaroon ng GINHAWA.

Kaya mahalaga ang pagkakaroon ng kamalayan sa sarili, sa kapwa, at sa lipunan.

Hindi ka nag-iisa. Magpapatuloy tayo ;
