Cover Story

We often hear that war, violence, fear, corruption, and lack are unavoidable parts of the human story. Yet few of us stop to ask a deeper question: if these conditions exist in our world, could they also exist inside us? The idea presented here suggests a radical shift - not by fighting the old world, but by elevating our own consciousness to a higher dimension where these unwanted states cannot take root. In this vision, the goal is not to conquer a broken world from the outside, but to awaken to our true nature and live from a place of pure love, abundance, and well-being.

“Hepe sa Komunidad”: Kapag ang Kapulisan ay Tunay na Katuwang ng Mamamayan

Sa panahong madalas ilarawan ang kapulisan bilang hiwalay o malayo sa pang-araw-araw na buhay ng mamamayan, nakapagbibigay-pag-asa ang programang “Hepe sa Komunidad” na isinagawa sa Barangay Ibabang Dupay, Lucena City. Hindi ito simpleng pulong o seremonyal na aktibidad; isa itong malinaw na pahayag na ang kapayapaan at kaayusan ay hindi lamang responsibilidad ng pulisya, kundi isang sama-samang gawain ng buong komunidad.
