Life is filled with many colors. There are moments of happiness and times of sadness, yet despite everything that happens, we must never forget to smile. Every experience we go through has a purpose, even if we do not immediately understand it. Challenges and struggles are part of life, shaping us into stronger and wiser individuals.

Just like what we are experiencing today, the prices of basic goods and fuel continue to rise, making life more difficult for many people. Life is truly full of surprises, and sometimes we do not even notice that we are already in a challenging situation until we are deeply affected by it.
Think about the woman standing on the balcony, surrounded by different colors. She may be smiling on the outside, but deep inside, she carries many burdens and problems. Still, she chooses to be brave and face everything with courage. Her strength reminds us that even when life feels heavy, we can continue moving forward.
That is why, as Filipinos, we should never give up no matter how hard life becomes. As long as we still have strength, hope, and determination, we must keep fighting. We are capable of helping ourselves rise above difficulties. As José Rizal once said, “The youth are the hope of the nation.”
