A new academic year. A new term. After a decisive victory in the 2022 student council elections, Priam Torres begins his second term as President of the University Student Council. With soaring approval ratings and a majority in the Legislative-Executive Committee, he now holds the power to shape policies for the betterment of the student body. But power comes with challenges. Priam's administration faces threats on all fronts-opposition from the university administration, attacks from a hostile student publication, disagreements with his party, internal conflicts within his own council, and unexpected tension with a rival student council from another university. Adding to his troubles, his relationship with Fabienne Lucero draws scrutiny at home. As the pressure mounts, Priam and his council must weather the storm while holding firm to their ideals. But if worse comes to worst, his only path to victory may lie in playing the joker card-the last resort that could either break the game or turn it completely in his favor. The play isn't over.

Some dreams are inherited. Others, you have to fight for. At fifteen, Thylane Puertollano seems to have it all. Gifted, graceful, and adored, she paints with the elegance of a master, dances with the poise of a prima ballerina, and is on the fast track to becoming a cardiothoracic surgeon-just like her mother the world reveres. Her life is picture-perfect, curated by legacy, discipline, and a love that has always felt unshakable. But the sea is rarely still. When a long-buried branch of her family resurfaces with secrets and ultimatums, Thylane's world begins to fracture. Whispers of an arranged marriage. A rivalry soaked in old blood. Loyalties tested, identities questioned. As pressure mounts and her once-clear path begins to blur, she feels herself slipping beneath the weight of who she's supposed to be. Then-like a tide returning to shore-he appears. A familiar face from a past she has long never forgotten. In his eyes are memories she's tried to drown, and questions her heart never stopped asking. Now Thylane must choose: Obey the legacy that is etched in her DNA-or chase the freedom calling from the waves. Play the part of the perfect granddaughter-or risk it all to reclaim her voice. Sink. Or swim. Visions of the Sea is a coming-of-age story about love, legacy, the scars of silence, and the fierce, aching journey of becoming your truest self-having the courage to choose oneself-even when the tides threaten to pull you under.

Aboard a public bus, Santhy and the other passengers fight for their lives. A virus this lethal and ruthless, a rate of 902 to 1,543 victims a minute...Santhy won't be one of them.

Started: 04/27/2021 Ended: 08/24/2021 Ang hirap palang tumanda. Ang hirap magbayad ng bills. Ang hirap suportahan ng pamilyang akala ay isang milyon ang suweldo mo. Ang hirap ngumiti sa nanay na mataas ang tingin sa'yo pero hindi ka kayang ipagtanggol. Ang hirap tabihan sa hapagkainan ng tatay na pinag-uubusan mo ng pera pero hindi ka maalala. Ang hirap mag-abot ng tulong sa kapatid na baon sa utang. Ang hirap intindihin ng hipag na nakakapagpa-rebond pa kahit kapos na kapos na. Ang hirap pakisamahan ng bunsong halos ilahad ang mga palad tuwing makikita ka. Ang hirap ngitian ng mga taong tanong nang tanong kung bakit hindi ka pa nakakapag-asawa. Ang hirap humarap sa mundong isasampal sa'yo na mag-isa ka. Tulong, bigay, utang. Isang iling mo lang, madamot ka na. Kasama mo sila kapag may maibibigay ka, pero hindi mo sila mahahanap kapag wala na. Ikaw ang kakayod, sila ang tutuka. Ikaw ang iiyak sa pagod, sila ang magtatamasa. Iyon ang summary ng buhay ko. Sobra-sobra ang naririnig na paghingi, kulang na kulang ang naririnig na pasasalamat. Sobra-sobra ang pagpapasensya, kulang na kulang ang natatanggap na pagpapahalaga. Sobra-sobra ang binabayaran, kulang na kulang sa kasiyahan. Kaya nang dumating sa buhay ko ang nag-iisang lalaking hindi ako nakita bilang naglalakad na alkansya, ang nag-iisang lalaking nakinig sa mahabang listahan ko ng problema, ang nag-iisang lalaking nagbigay sa akin ng kakaibang saya, ipinangako ko sa sarili na sa gitna ng hirap ng pagtanda, magtitiis ako basta't siya ang kasama. Kahit pa ang kapalit noon ay pagtalikod sa minahal na pamilya. Kahit pa ang kapalit noon ay paglaban sa mundong pinatatakbo ng kapangyarihan at pera. Kahit pa ang kapalit noon ay ang pagdurusa't pag-iisa. Siya ang ginhawa, pahinga, at kasiyahan ko. Dumating man ang araw na tanaw ko na ang dulo. Dumating man ang araw na wala na kaming sagot sa lahat ng bakit at paano. Dumating man ang araw na pareho na kaming talo.
