COESSE - TSU Psychological Society

COESSE '25-'26, 𝒔𝒊𝒈𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒖𝒕... 👋

The turnover for the new COESSE Officers took place last June 17, 2026. The officers joined together for one last time in Smith Hall to discuss and reflect on the events and achievements they have accomplished for the entire academic year, looking back on the very first events up until to the very last. The officers also shared their own experiences in the organization, from the application process to becoming an official officer and to their last day as an officer; it was a heartwarming moment full of laughter and joy 🫂

After the meeting, the turnover proper began wherein the old officers had a one-on-one talk with the new officers, guiding them in their new position on their tasks and responsibilities 🧑‍🏫

The TSU Psychological Society is committed to maintaining high standards of financial transparency and recognizes the importance of informing the student community about the utilization of their contributions. To this end, we provide clear and accessible financial reports.

In this context, we present a comprehensive breakdown and summary of the organization’s total budget, and the total expenses for the Academic Year 2025 – 2026.

The COESSE started from a little to no budget during the 1st semester. The budget used during the 1st month was the money of some of the officers and were reimbursed after the reimbursement of CASS Parent’s Council from the 1st Pinning Ceremony 2024 – 2025, with a total of Php 21, 540. Following this, a merch selling was launched and a total profit of Php 33, 938 was added to the total budget.

Following the collection of Php 50.00 per student in the 2nd semester of the academic year, we have collected a total of Php 36,200. Of this amount, solicitation and Income Generating Projects such as Booths were added. With these incomes, the total budget of the organization is Php 120, 378.

The budget was used to conduct successful activities, purchased tokens for the speakers and guests, and for snacks and water for the performers in every events. With this, the total expenses of the organization was Php 75, 119. With this amount, a cash of Php 45, 259 was left on hand.

The remaining balance will be turnover to the next set of officers, and will exclusively use for the benefit of its members, including funding for future events and facilitating collaborative partnerships between members and the organization. This ensures that all resources are directed toward enhancing the student experience and fostering a strong, supportive community.

𝙈𝙖𝙩𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙡 𝙣𝙖 𝙩𝙖𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙮𝙖.

Iyan ang sabi ng titser ko. Aniya, taong 1892, ika-12 ng Hunyo, nakalas ang kadenang matagal na iginapos ng mga Espanyol sa ating bansa. Isang kaganapan na karapat-dapat daw ipagdiwang ng lahat ng mamamayan—ilang taon o dekada man ang nagdaan. Subalit bunsod ng kalayaang natamo, marami-rami na rin daw ang nagbago.

“𝗨𝘆! 𝗧𝗶𝗸𝗧𝗼𝗸 𝘁𝗮𝘆𝗼!”, iyan ang aking laging naririnig sa tuwing ako’y dadaan sa pasilyo ng aming paaralan. Kahit saan pa man ako magpunta, hinding-hindi mawawala ang mga taong umiindak ng kung ano man ang mga uso ngayon, katulad ng Brazilian dance, at iilang mga musikang hindi maipaliwanag ang kahulugan ng mga liriko nito. Tuwang-tuwa sila sa mga tugtuging hindi naman nila maunawaan.

Naalala ko tuloy ang nangyari kanina sa klase, matagumpay akong nakapagpaliwanag gamit lamang ang sarili nating wika. Ngunit imbis na kagiliwan, pinagtawanan lamang ako sapagkat hindi raw nila ako lubusang maintindihan. Inudyukan pa ako na gumamit ng Ingles upang kanila namang maunawaan.

Habang patuloy kong binabaybay ang daan pauwi, mayroon akong nalampasan na kapwa ko mag-aaral na nag-uusap. “𝗣𝗿𝗲, 𝗽𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗼 𝗻𝗮 ‘𝘆𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗶𝗽𝗶𝘁𝘀𝘂𝗴𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘀, 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁𝗮 ‘𝘆𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝗵”, turan ng isang lalaking tumawa pa pagkatapos magsalita. “𝗞𝗮𝘆𝗮 𝗻𝗴𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗲, 𝗶𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗮𝘀𝗶 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗹𝗶 𝗻𝗶 𝗠𝗮𝗺𝗮, 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶 𝗸𝗼 𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘀 𝘀𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀.”

Hindi ko mapigilang malungkot sa ‘di-sinasadyang pagkakarinig ko sa usapan nilang magkaibigan. Patuloy pa rin palang may nangmamaliit sa mga produktong likha ng ating mga kababayan at higit na mas tinatangkilik pa ang gawa ng mga dayuhan.

Ganito na ba talaga ang bansang minsang ipinaglaban ng ating kanunununuan? Ang bayang binalot ng dugo makamtan lamang ang kalayaan? 𝙆𝙪𝙣𝙜 𝙜𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙤𝙣, 𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙞 𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙨𝙚𝙧 𝙠𝙤—𝙬𝙖𝙡𝙖 𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙗𝙖𝙜𝙤. Walang katuturan ang pagkalas natin mula sa kadena ng mga dayuhan kung ang ating isipan ay nananatiling nakasadlak sa piitan.

𝙃𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙞 𝙥𝙖 𝙩𝙖𝙮𝙤 𝙡𝙪𝙗𝙪𝙨𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙣𝙖𝙠𝙖𝙠𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙮𝙖. Hangga’t nananaig sa palaksa ang kaisipang mas angat ang mayroon ang ibang bansa, wala tayong pagbabagong mapapala.
