'4079 Magazine:' Stories don't end – they echo

IN a world where stories are often cut short, where voices fade before they are truly heard, "4079 Magazine" steps in – not to rewrite the past, but to honor the echoes it leaves behind.

This year, the Polytechnic University of the Philippines or PUP Department of Journalism unveils the 30th volume of iCommunicate, an edition that dares to confront the narratives softened by time, silence and society.

With a mission to be a cornerstone in conversations about loss and hope, "4079" aims to engage readers in narratives that transcend time.

This is not just a magazine; it is a journey through stories that acknowledge loss, where endings are not seen as conclusions but as doors to new

beginnings.

Are all the same in one undeniable way?

Once lost, grieved, and searched for meaning in the wreckage.

Indeed, endings are rarely clean as they leave behind remnants – unfinished thoughts, whispered regrets, and dreams that never found their way to reality.

Yet within these fragments lie a deeper truth; every conclusion

carries within it a flicker of renewal, a moment of hope waiting to be unearthed.

And "4079" exists for those seeking solace in shared experiences.

But before turning to the first page, ask, "What do the numbers 40, 7 and 9 symbolize?"

Is it a moment frozen in time? A hidden message waiting to be unraveled? Or perhaps, like the stories within, it is a mystery meant to be uncovered?

Lucky for those who are in the moment. After almost five months in the making, "4079 Magazine" is finally set to launch on Mar. 3, 2025, bringing these stories to life in both print and digital forms.

This is an event not to be missed – a moment that promises to challenge

perspectives, stir emotions, and perhaps, offer a sense of closure to those still searching.

Because endings are not just conclusions; they are beginnings to be embraced; and "4079 Magazine" is here to tell those stories.
