Akala ko

Nakaramdam ako ng galit para sa mga estudyante na nagkikibit-balikat lamang, nananatiling kimi, at kinalilimutan ang kanilang tungkulin bilang alagad ng midya. Tulad sila marahil ng gobyerno na kahit marinig ang samu’t saring boses ng lipunan ay nananatiling bingi sa pagsigaw ng hustisya sa naganap na trahedya.

COLUMN: Beyond filling print space

A campus journalist knows that words must traverse paper and permeate social consciousness.

The ability of the campus paper to shape public opinion is the reason why it has always been facing threats to its freedom, taken under siege by those in positions of power – by institutions desperately trying to conceal the truth from the very first time that student-journalists learned to fill the pages with its mighty ink.

EDITORIAL: A game of hide-and-seek

President Aquino engaged Filipinos to a nearly two-hour game of hide-and-seek in his State of the Nation Address (SONA) last Monday – but no one was in the mood to play.
It is unclear who the taya is – was it PNoy, who threatened to comb every corner in pursuit of the most wanted wrongdoers; or was it the people, who religiously listened to his 18-page droning in search of issues to no avail?
This childish game had enough players, but of who were entertained, we do not know.

COLUMN: Right value for one’s name

The University of the Philippines is home to powerful minds who serve as movers and shakers of the country. To leave a lasting mark in such a renowned institution may seem a daunting task – to some, it may as well be impossible.
But others take it quite literally. Some opt to have their names inscripted on walkways along the Academic Oval, while some settle with classroom labels, where each letter of one’s moniker corresponds to their generous donation.
