Editorial: What Youth Needs

“Youth is the hope of our fatherland” as the famous line by our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal goes. This is undeniably true.

Friendship knows no bound!

“Friendship without self interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.” (James Francis Byrnes). This is seen in the friendship of these creatures which are totally different from one another. They did not mind of what they are. They enjoy each other’s company playing whenever they are free.
