To maintain the authenticity of the page, all active administrators managing the Facebook page must be verified as bona fide enrolled students or official faculty members of Marinduque National High School. The lead moderator reserves the right to request proof of enrollment to ensure that current students are the ones leading the daily conversation of the student body.
The primary function of the administrator is to act as a neutral gatekeeper who filters submissions to ensure student safety while simultaneously upholding the right to free expression on the Facebook page. Administrators are strictly required to remain unbiased in their duties and must not allow their personal feelings or friendships to influence which messages are published or rejected.
In the event that no qualified student successor is found by the time the current administrator graduates, the founding team or the graduating admin may continue to hold the credentials in a "Caretaker Status" for a maximum of 60 days. During this period, the caretaker admin retains all normal administrative rights and responsibilities to ensure the continuous operation of the platform. If after 60 days a student admin is still not appointed, the page may enter a "Legacy Archive Mode" (read-only) or be temporarily deactivated until a bona fide MNHS student or faculty member steps forward to lead.
The administrator is bound by a strict code of secrecy and shall never attempt to trace, expose, or reveal the identity of an anonymous sender unless there is a clear threat to the life or safety of a student. Furthermore, any digital metadata associated with submissions must be regularly cleared to protect the privacy of all users.
In the event that a sender accidentally includes their own name within a confession, the administrator is obligated to redact this information before the post is made public on the page. Additionally, if a user can provide proof that they authored a specific post and requests its removal, the administrator must comply and delete the post immediately.
Submissions that contain hate speech or target individuals based on their race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation are strictly prohibited and will be permanently banned from the page. Content that serves no purpose other than to degrade an individual's morality will be discarded to preserve the dignity of the student body.
Any message that names a specific student or teacher for the purpose of ridicule, mockery, or harassment will not be tolerated. This includes posts that attempt to "ship-shame" or attack personal relationships, as such content violates the safe space policy of the page.
In contrast to the rule against negative naming, submissions that name specific students for the purpose of harmless crush confessions, positive shoutouts, or respectful compliments (e.g., "kilig" posts, courting requests) are explicitly permitted and recognized as a fun part of the student culture. However, the administrator will immediately reject any romantic "shoutout" that crosses the line into sexual harassment, obsessive behavior, or causes visible discomfort to the named individual.
The administrator will not publish unverified rumors that could damage the reputation of the school institution or its student organizations. If a submission contains factually incorrect details regarding school events, the administrator has the option to either reject the post or publish it with a clear correction attached.
While freedom of expression is encouraged, excessive profanity that adds no value to the message may be censored with symbols or rejected entirely at the admin's discretion. Furthermore, any detailed descriptions of violence or explicit sexual acts are strictly prohibited and will result in an immediate ban.
Submissions that serve as a general moral reminder or a warning to the student body regarding honesty, integrity, and personal conduct (e.g., reminders about theft, academic honesty, or respect) are permitted and encouraged. Such messages are viewed as a contribution to the community's ethical standards rather than harassment, provided they remain general in nature and do not attempt to shame or identify a specific individual or their family members.
To prevent the page from being overwhelmed by a single topic, the administrator reserves the right to limit the number of posts accepted from a single sender within a 24-hour period. Submissions are generally processed in the order they are received, though priority may be given to time-sensitive school news.
Messages submitted to the page should ideally relate to the Marinduque National High School experience, including academic challenges, school events, or general student sentiments. Rants that are completely unrelated to the school community may be rejected or redirected to other platforms.
If a submission indicates that a student is suffering from extreme distress or burnout, the administrator will prioritize posting supportive resources or contact information for the school guidance office. The admin may also attach a supportive note to such posts to remind the sender that help is available.
In cases where a submission contains a credible threat of self-harm or violence, the administrator is mandated to escalate the matter to school authorities immediately. In these specific emergencies, the rule regarding sender anonymity is temporarily suspended to ensure the safety of the individual involved involved.
Senders retain the moral ownership of their original words, but grant the page a non-exclusive right to display and archive the text publicly on the Facebook page. While quoting famous lyrics is allowed, senders are encouraged to provide credit to the original artists to avoid issues of plagiarism.
The MNHS ngl Facebook page serves as the community social feed for the MNHS ngl website and news portal. While the page administrators manage the content shared here, users acknowledge that any automated advertisements or external features seen on the submission website are part of the web-hosting service and are not directly endorsed by the Facebook page team.
Followers are encouraged to DM the admin if they identify a post that violates these rules or was published in error. The administration commits to reviewing all reported posts within a 12-hour timeframe and will take appropriate action if a violation is confirmed.
To maintain trust, the administration may periodically publish logs showing how many messages were received and rejected over a given period. Additionally, the admins are encouraged to host occasional feedback sessions to discuss potential improvements to the page rules.
Sending the exact same message multiple times to force a post is considered spamming and is disruptive to the moderation queue. Individuals who consistently spam the inbox or the comments section may be temporarily muted or permanently banned from interacting with the page.
The administration reserves the right to use the Facebook page to promote legitimate small businesses owned by current MNHS students, such as beadwork or bracelets. These manual promotions are curated by the admin to support the student economy and are strictly separate from any automated website advertisements.
To ensure the page remains a true reflection of the student body, active moderation of the Facebook page is typically handled by current MNHS students. Upon an administrator's graduation or departure from the school, they are required to complete the handover of page credentials and moderation duties to a qualified successor within a 30-day transition period. However, the founding team retains the right to oversee the broader MNHS ngl ecosystem, including website maintenance and long-term brand integrity.
Administrators are strictly forbidden from prioritizing the submissions of their friends or social circle over others. The platform must remain a democratic space where all voices are heard, including those that respectfully disagree with student leaders or school organizations.
Any major changes to these Articles must be presented to the community for review, potentially through a public vote or feedback post. New rules will officially take effect 24 hours after a public announcement is made to ensure the community is informed.
The NGL page is open to collaborating with the SSLG and other official school clubs for the purpose of sharing important announcements. However, the page will remain independent in its editorial decisions to ensure it reflects the true, uncensored voice of the student body.
Submissions regarding staff must remain professional and constructive; personal attacks on a teacher’s private life or family are strictly prohibited. Feedback on teaching styles is permitted, provided it is expressed respectfully and does not use derogatory language.
Students who submit original poems or art retain the moral ownership of their work, and the page serves only as a medium for display. The administrator is prohibited from claiming credit for any creative work submitted anonymously and will protect the author's integrity.
During major school events like Intramurals or Prom, the administrator reserves the right to prioritize posts that are relevant to the ongoing festivities. Moderation speed may decrease during school holidays to allow the student administrators time for personal rest.
Any submission revealing a student's face without their explicit consent will be deleted immediately to protect their privacy. Screenshots of private chats must have all names and profile pictures heavily blurred by the administrator before they can be considered for publication.
New administrators for the Facebook page must be chosen based on a proven track record of maturity, neutrality, and active involvement in school life. The selection process should be transparent to ensure the community trusts the new leadership.
The page shall not be used as a tool for "witch hunts" or public shaming campaigns against specific individuals. If a serious conflict arises between students, the administrator will stop publishing related posts to avoid escalating the tension publicly. The parties involved are encouraged to settle the matter through private dialogue and mutual understanding; however, if the conflict involves harassment or threats, the administrator may then advise the parties to resolve the issue through the Guidance Office or proper school authorities.
Submissions are welcome in English, Tagalog, and Marinduqueño to ensure inclusivity for all students. In cases where local slang is used that might be misunderstood, the administrator may provide a brief translation in the caption.
The administrator reserves the final right to decide which submissions are appropriate for publication, and submitting a message is a request, not a guarantee. By interacting with the page, all users agree to abide by these rules, and ignorance of these rules is not an excuse for violations.
