I am glad to share with you our batch song, composed by me (Reymark Aquino) and arranged by Kharl Nebres, during my freshman year in UP Baguio. It was our official entry as Math Uno during the Batch SongWriting Competition and we won the title. It was performed and recorded by my classmates headed by Ms. Jisha Lumabao. This song always reminds me of the reason why I chose to study in UP. In general, being an Iskolar ng Bayan is not just limited to having scholarship, but is also a duty, in relation to this course, to communicate and address the need of the nation, to understand individual differences at to promote awareness, life lessons are not limited to the four sides of the room. The true battle is seen within the society and as they always say, Iskolar ng Bayan, Para sa Bayan!

you are the tune i hum mindlessly on days; the lyrics i know but can't make out of my mouth; the verse i try so hard to memorize; the song that i've long heard and still holds dearly.

there's something dangerous in reading all that slow burns, that pines, that hits too close to the heart. it makes me yearn for things i already put at the back of my mind, shelved in the columns of my memories arranged like a library.

it swears secrecy on everything i wish i had.

wouldn't it be the best surprise, if someday i died without warning or phonecalls or telltale signs without seeing it coming.

you'll wonder what was the last straw, which one was it, when why and how.

was i happy was i hurt was i smiling a bitter smile was i smiling a satisfied smile?

when did i start to give things up and how did you not see it? you"ll wonder if i bled and why were you not with me through it
