[EDITORYAL] Labis na ang sandaang pagkakataon

[EDITORYAL] Hindi na lamang ito alaala. UP, kumilos ka.
Ngayon na nagtatangkang bumalik sa Malacañan ang mga anak ng diktador, tayong anak ng matatapang na ninuno ay babalik din sa lansangan. At kung anuman ang magbunga sa halalang ito, sa labas pa rin tayo magkikita; dahil ang klasrum at ang parliamento ay hindi naisusulok o naikukulong, bagkus ay isinasabuhay kasama ang masang Pilipino.
[EDITORIAL] UP, the “boat” is sinking. Don’t pretend it isn’t.
UP has seen all the charts and the graphs. It knows, as anyone does, that the community has been treading unstable waters since the start of the pandemic. Everything we’ve done in the past years under remote learning is patching holes.
TNPicks: Our Appreciation List for 2021
To wrap up 2021, our editors sent in their favorite stories and multimedia output from other student publications. In the second edition of TNPicks, this appreciation list hat-tips the work of our pals in the campus press.
To our colleagues in other student publications, we thank you for your work.
[EDITORIAL] For our education system, “normal” is not enough
To the Filipino students who will cap off the year still under distance learning, reverting to the “normal” setup won’t be enough. The return to schools in 2022 must be safe, genuine and free from tyranny.
[OPINION] It is darkest behind the camera’s flash
Photojournalism seems like a noble job, but the industry reveals a harsh reality. Behind the eye-catching images lurk questionable assignments and freelance work. As we join our photo subjects’ fight towards freedom from oppression, we must also remain vigilant of the same ills that occupy our ranks.
[EDITORIAL] Elections, the impunity theater
Impunity becomes more potent in the elections. Now is not the time to merely chronicle this violent history. Not when our colleagues perish without reason. Not when we’ve seen what the state can do to silence the critical press.
[EDITORIAL] From one dictator to another: Unearthing each other’s grave
One of Ferdinand Marcos’ children is sitting comfortably in the Senate. The other, seeking higher office. His wife, scot-free from multiple counts of graft. Right from the grave, the dictator is rising unstopped.
Who else took him out of his sepulcher but President Duterte himself?
[OPINION] No, Belo, I don’t need to buy my beauty
Women will not find their deliverance in a divisive paradigm of beauty. The true redress to the harms they endure is beyond individual cosmetization, rather in a collective liberation from the system that fuels their insecurities.
[OPINION] We don’t need another Hidilyn Diaz story
UP Diliman’s student-athletes watched as Hidilyn Diaz scored the nation’s first gold. They saw themselves in her triumph, as they know the systemic underfunding and lack of support she had to overcome to get there. Perhaps, they know it a little too well.
EDITORIAL: Athletes are more than their weight in gold
Credit-grabbers like Roque represent how politicians act in the country’s time of triumph. The only thing Duterte’s administration made possible for athletes is a conundrum: Olympians need to grab the gold to get the bare minimum, while politicians do only the bare minimum to grab the most gold.
[OPINION] Dismissive Filipino homes and schools worsen impostor syndrome
Kids today are just as smart as the kids in the past. Something is just holding them back, and it could be impostor syndrome.
