Some lessons come from lectures.
Some come from training.
And some come from the familiar words we hear again and again from the people who guide us.

"Kamo na bahala sa grupo."
"Kaya nyo nana ya!."
"Amo ni himuon nyo."
"Sagad naman kamo!."

Simple words, but behind them is trust.

You give us responsibility because you believe we can handle it. You let us take the lead, make decisions, learn from our mistakes, and grow as responders and as people.

Sometimes, your words challenge us.
Sometimes, they make us laugh.
But somehow, they always remind us:

We are capable of more than we think.

๐—ง๐—ข ๐—ง๐—›๐—˜ ๐—–๐—ฃ๐—ฆ๐—จ๐——๐—ฅ๐—ฅ๐—  ๐—”๐——๐— ๐—œ๐—ก๐—œ๐—ฆ๐—ง๐—ฅ๐—”๐—ง๐—œ๐—ฉ๐—˜ ๐—”๐—œ๐——๐—˜, ๐— ๐—”โ€™๐—”๐—  ๐—Ÿ๐—œ๐—ญ ๐—š๐—”๐—ฉ๐—œ๐—ข๐—Ÿ๐—”

"Ready na kamo? May training kamo bala?"
"Print lang diri."
"Kuha lang diri bondpaper. Ano, long or short?"
"Send ko lang ang mga need nyo i-prepare."
"Ano kulang nyo nga gamit?"
"Sure kuha lng diri."

The questions may sound simple, but they say a lot.

Because behind every training, document, activity, and preparation, there is someone asking what COMRADES needs before we even have the chance to ask.

You help turn plans into something we can actually carry out.

To Sir Alejandro and Maโ€™am Liz, thank you for being part of the people behind COMRADES, not only by guiding us, but by trusting us, supporting us, and helping us become ready to serve.

From your COMRADES family,

BASIC LIFE SUPPORT | COMRADES

Sa emergency, indi kita pirmi nga makapangayo sang bulig. sometimes, ikaw mismo ang ara sa lugar kag ikaw ang una nga makaresponde.

During the 8th Regular Instruction of the CPSU ROTC Unit, COMRADES served as resource speakers for a Basic Life Support (BLS) lecture, where the ROTC cadets learned the basics of BLS and CPR, from recognizing cardiac arrest, checking the scene, calling for help, proper CPR and rescue breathing, and basic airway response.

Ang pinaka-important nga lesson: indi enough nga kabalo ka lang sa theory, dapat kabalo ka man mag-act kung kinahanglan. Through this session, the cadets gained knowledge and practical skills that can help them respond calmly and properly during an emergency.

Thank you so much, CPSU ROTC Unit sa paghatag sang opportunity sa COMRADES nga makashare sang amon knowledge and skills, and also sa mga COMRADES members nga naghatag sang ila oras, knowledge, kag skills para ma impart ini sa aton ROTC cadets. ๐Ÿค

Learn the skill. Know the steps. Be ready to respond. ๐Ÿซก

COMRADES at the Su***de Prevention Symposium | September 16, 2026

Sometimes, saving a life does not begin with an emergency response. It begins with noticing, listening, and having the courage to ask, โ€œAre you okay?โ€

Today, COMRADES joined the Su***de Prevention Symposium at Central Philippines State University, carrying with us a lesson that goes beyond training and response: some people may be fighting battles that we cannot see, and a simple conversation can be the moment they need someone to stay.

As responders, we prepare for disasters, injuries, and emergencies. But we also need to learn how to respond to the struggles people carry silently...with compassion, presence, and without judgment.

Changing the Narrative. Start the Conversation.
Because sometimes, the most meaningful rescue is simply making someone feel that they do not have to face it alone. ๐Ÿค๐Ÿงก๐Ÿค

Different Contexts, Common Aspirations. ๐Ÿค

A meaningful morning of stories, ideas, and shared hopes for the youth. The 3rd Year Implementation of the Negros Island Youth Convergence 2026 reminded us that we may come from different places and experiences, but we can still share one goal...to grow, serve, and make a difference in our communities.

To the CPSU Supreme Student Government (SSG), Office of Student Services and Affairs (OSSA), Future Leaders of the Philippines โ€“ Kabankalan Campus, and Hope Builders Organization Negros Island, Inc. (HBONI), thank you for bringing student leaders and young people together and for giving us a space to listen, learn, and connect.

To all the storytellers, thank you for sharing your stories and lessons. Your words gave us something to think about and carry with us as student leaders.๐Ÿซก

A special thank you to Cong. Mercedes โ€œChedingโ€ K. Alvarez for her generosity and unwavering support for the youth and student leaders. Your support gives young people a reason to keep serving and believing that our voices matter.๐Ÿฅน

From COMRADES, thank you for reminding us that leadership is not only about having a position. It is about showing up, listening, and using what we have to serve others.๐Ÿงก

Different stories. One purpose. One generation ready to serve.๐ŸŒท

๐Ÿ™ Spiritual Activity

Tonight, we reflected on the story of Abram, Sarai, and Hagarโ€”a story about faith, waiting, patience, and trusting Godโ€™s plan. In Genesis 15, God promised Abram that he would have descendants, and Abram believed even before he saw the promise happen.

But in Genesis 16, we see what can happen when waiting becomes difficult. Sarai and Abram tried to solve the problem in their own way, and their decision brought conflict and pain.

This reminds us that Godโ€™s timing may be different from our timing. When we become impatient, we may try to control the situation instead of trusting God.

And through Hagar, we are also reminded that God sees us and hears us, even when we feel alone or forgotten.

May tonightโ€™s message remind us: pray, trust, wait, and let God lead. We may not understand His plan today, but we can still choose to trust Him.

โ€œGod sees you. God hears you. And God is still working, even while you wait.โ€

Message led by: Teresa Limaco ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ™

Special thanks to: Charly Pelayo for helping make tonightโ€™s spiritual activity meaningful. Your time and support are greatly appreciated. ๐Ÿค

LEARN. RESPOND. CELEBRATE. ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‚

On September 4, 2026, COMRADES gathered for a dual milestone: celebrating the graduation of 16 trainees alongside a joyful birthday celebration for the August celebrants.

A massive congratulations to the 16 trainees for passing and proving their dedication, teamwork, and resilience.

A heartfelt thank you to all the lecturers and facilitators who worked hard behind the scenes to make this day possible. Your guidance, time, and dedication laid the groundwork for this success.

From COMRADES, thank you to everyone who made this combined celebration unforgettable. Here is to hard work paying off, growing stronger together, and making many more memories!

COMRADES SPIRITUAL ACTIVITY | โ€œNO TURNING BACKโ€ ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿงก

โ€œCome to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.โ€ โ€” Matthew 11:28

Even in the middle of our midterm examinations, we made time to pause, pray, and remember where our strength comes from. ๐Ÿ“–๐Ÿ™

With the theme โ€œI Have Decided to Follow Jesus โ€” No Turning Back,โ€ we were reminded that following God is a decision we make every day, especially when life gets busy and challenging.

Matthew 6:33 reminds us to seek God first, trusting that He knows what we need and will provide according to His will. No matter how busy our schedules become, there is always a reason to make time for God.

Our heartfelt thanks to our brother, Archel Dan Quimpo for leading the message and sharing a reminder that we can carry beyond this activity and into our daily lives.

Seek Him first. Keep the faith. Keep moving forward. No turning back. ๐Ÿงก

LEARN. RESPOND. SAVE A LIFE. โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน๐Ÿš‘

On August 21, 2026, our COMRADES trainees and members had the chance to learn Basic Life Support (BLS) from the amazing team of CDRRM Kabankalan.

A big and heartfelt THANK YOU to our DRRM Kabankalan trainers for sharing your time, skills, experience, and knowledge with us. Every lesson, every demonstration, and every correction gave us something we can carry when a real emergency happens.

You did not only teach us how to perform BLSโ€”you taught us how to stay ready when someoneโ€™s life depends on us.

From COMRADES, thank you for helping us become more prepared, more confident, and more ready to serve. โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

Your knowledge may be shared in one day, but the lives it can help save may last a lifetime. ๐Ÿงก
