Buňao. “𝙆𝙖𝙢𝙥𝙞𝙡𝙖𝙣” is the term most commonly used for “sword” in Tagalog, Ilocano, and Visayan languages.

Since the pandemic, student-leaders posted Bible verses and quotes of hope when most of the studentry was in quarantine situations.

Bringing hope to people, in whatever form, can go a long way. From encouraging online to extending a helping hand or showing kindness in any way can help lift their spirits through the localized carved bible verses in Barangay Hall while getting their relief goods. This is when student leaders sprinkle kindness and bring hope to the lives of fellow students and the community.

These are some of the few feedbacks illustrating the project’s tremendous impact on the stakeholders. Religious organizations like Parish Youth Ministry, Confraternity of Our Lady of Lourdes, Knights of the Altar, non-Catholic Organizations, and even our principal and supervisor appreciate the project of spreading hope through Bible verses.
Alumni also take part in the project. Post-Bible verses on social media and have selfies with their bible verses. This shows the significant impact of the project on all people who can see the post, and it brought the spreading of hope through God’s words. Moreover, the school principal and district supervisor, Dr. Juvy Ayenza, participate in the MakaDiyos project to spread hope.
The social media posting, mayors of respective classes with the class advisers, are being encouraged. In the aftermath of Typhoon Odette which signal and electricity were scarce, convening all mayors in the same barangay was done for the making of Bible verses to carve or paint in localized materials that were available after the typhoon, which are the slabs in a Bisayan language for the community to quickly understand and be given hope as its primary purpose whatever your religion. Barangay officials extend their support by providing dance-like snacks, paints, etc., to student-leaders who made carve and displayed them in their respective barangay halls. Also, the SSG officers showed the same output in the school as teachers, parents, and other stakeholders can read and be given hope through the word of God. That does provide not only hope but also a lovely landscape in the school. It served its purpose as well as beautified the area. When signal and electricity are back, everyone is encouraged to post Bible verses at home with selfies. Giving hope is nearer to the students. And to make pride and be shared with everyone, some are selected to be featured in the “Bible Verse of the Day” that instead of researching pictures on the internet, the students with their respective selfies are the ones being featured and shared in the official Facebook page-DepEd Tayo-Youth Formation Division-Dagohoy NHS.
Michael Bassey Johnson states, “Sometimes, it is not the money in your bank account that solves your problem, but the wisdom in your head.” This connotes that as long as the organization is eager to realize the project, money will come, and good people will come because, as Genesis 22:14 says, “The Lord will provide.” Moreover, Philippians 4:19 “My God will supply all your needs.” These are God’s promises that as long as our intentions are pure and our actions can benefit others, there is nothing to worry about. Each role, small or big is very significant in “Kampilan para sa Pagbibigay ng Pag-asa” MakaDiyos project.
Let’s Spread HOPE
