| Alinsunod sa Local Government Memorandum Circular No. 3, s. 2025, suspendido ang face-to-face classes sa lahat ng PAMPUBLIKONG PAARALAN sa Quezon City ngayong September 1, 2026, kabilang ang:

• Child Development Centers
• Kindergarten
• Grades 1–12
• Alternative Learning System (ALS)

Base sa latest Air Quality Index (AQI), nagtala ng Very Unhealthy at Acutely Unhealthy ang mga air quality sensors ng lungsod. Sa kasalukuyan, may 68 air sensors na nakapwesto sa iba-ibang bahagi ng lungsod.

Sa ganitong antas ng air pollution, maaaring magkaroon ng ubo, pangangati ng airways, at hirap sa paghinga, lalo na sa mga taong may asthma o iba pang respiratory conditions.

Batay sa kasalukuyang assessment, ang pagtaas ng air pollution sa ilang bahagi ng bansa, kabilang ang National Capital Region, ay posibleng may kaugnayan sa smoke o haze mula sa mga nagaganap na sunog sa Kalimantan, Indonesia.

Ang suspensyon ng klase sa PRIVATE SCHOOLS at HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS ay nakabatay sa desisyon ng pamunuan ng paaralan. Gayunpaman, para sa kaligtasan ng mga g**o at mag-aaral, hinihikayat ang pagsunod sa national o localized suspension.

Pinapayuhan ang lahat na magsuot ng face mask at bawasan ang oras at pisikal na aktibidad sa labas. Mangyaring subaybayan ang mga susunod na anunsyo para sa karagdagang impormasyon.

Para sa emergency at kinakailangan ng agarang tulong, tumawag lamang sa HELPLINE 122.

Mag-ingat po tayong lahat.

The Mind Gives Up Before the Body

In karate, one of the greatest battles does not take place on the dojo floor. It takes place inside the mind.

The body is often capable of far more than we believe. During hard training, the muscles become tired, the breathing becomes heavy, the legs become weak, and the desire to stop becomes powerful. Yet many times, the first thing that truly gives up is not the body—it is the mind.

When the mind says, “I cannot continue,” the body begins to follow. When the mind says, “Just one more,” the body often discovers another reserve of strength.

This does not mean ignoring pain or training recklessly. A disciplined karateka learns the difference between discomfort and genuine injury. Mental toughness is not stupidity. It is the ability to remain calm, focused, and determined while facing difficulty.

The key is to make your mind work for you, not against you.

Instead of thinking about how much longer the training will last, concentrate on the next movement. Instead of thinking about how exhausted you are, focus on your breathing. Instead of asking, “How can I survive this?” ask, “What can I learn from this?”

This mindset transforms training.

A difficult kihon session becomes an opportunity to sharpen discipline. A demanding kata becomes a lesson in concentration. A hard kumite round becomes a test of composure. Failure becomes feedback rather than a reason to quit.

Karate teaches that strength is not simply the ability to hit harder or move faster. True strength includes the ability to control your thoughts when fatigue, fear, frustration, and doubt appear.

The warrior's greatest weapon is often invisible.

It is the decision to continue when the mind is searching for an excuse to stop.

Every time you overcome that inner voice telling you to quit, you strengthen something deeper than your muscles. You strengthen your character.

Train your body, but train your mind even harder.

Stay calm when tired. Stay focused when pressured. Stay disciplined when motivation disappears.

Because the body follows the direction of the mind.

The mind may tell you to stop.
Your discipline decides whether you do.
