After that, this project was implemented by the DFSSLG S.Y. 2024-2025 through a collaboration with SDO Pasay, ASMAE Philippines, Save the Children, Gems Heart Outreach Development Inc., and other wonderful partners! As we celebrate the significant milestone of Kalakbay: The PaScian Teen Center, we open doors to a new beginning— a kinder, better, and brighter future for the Pascian community. This is not merely a center— It is a promise of our commitment to build an environment where all Pascians can thrive and reach their fullest potential. Thank you to everyone who made this achievement possible, and we extend our congratulations to Kalakbay! See you at the Teen Center, Pascians!

I’m not okay

Caption: Stefhanie Khaye BarcaLayout: Carl Carasco Sometimes, the hardest step is saying, “I’m not okay.”’ But that moment of vulnerability lies the beginning of healing. It’s not easy to open up, especially when it gets too much—with feelings being hard to express through words. Yet, telling others what you really feel allows others to truly see you, to understand what you’re going through, and to offer the support you deserve. Whether it’s a parent, a friend, or someone you trust, know that there’s always someone willing to listen and help. Healing starts with a simple conversation—one where you remind yourself that you do not have to face your struggles alone
