Ang Pilipinas ang isa sa may pinakamakulay at pinakamasayang pagdiriwang ng kapaskuhan sa buong mundo. Ngunit kaakibat nito ang iba’t ibang suliranin tulad ng trapiko at pagtaas ng mga bilihin sa merkado na hindi naman na bago sa mga Pilipino. Kaya bakit idadahilan ang kapaskuhan sa matagal naman nang palpak na sistema ng gobyerno?  Malaking pagdiriwang ang kapaskuhan sa masang Pilipino, mula sa mga parol, pailaw, at tugtuging pampasko.  Ito ang araw kung saan kumpleto ang pa

Sa mahigit 95,000 mag-aaral sa 25 na mga kampus, kakarampot lamang ang P3.4 bilyon ang badyet. Iyan ang masalimuot na reyalidad ng Politeknikong Unibersidad ng Pilipinas (PUP) ngayong 2025. Hindi na mabilang ang mga pangangalampag at panguwenguwestiyong nagmumula sa mga Iskolar ng Bayan patungo sa mga lider na nagdedesisyon sa pondo ng pamantasan.

She spoke of honesty. She posted about her anxiety. And she spoke up about politics—alone. When Emman Atienza ended her life at 19, a nation grieved. Conversations erupted online. It promised action. It named a bill after her: the Emman Atienza Bill, designed to punish cyberbullying and online abuse. But here’s the sobering truth: no law can legislate compassion, and no statute can fix a system that keeps letting people break. Filed as Senate Bill 1474, the proposed “Anti-Onl

In an attempt to attract investors,  the government passed yet another neoliberal policy favoring foreign interests over Filipino welfare. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. signed the Republic Act No. 12252, “ AN ACT LIBERALIZING THE LEASE OF PRIVATE LANDS BY FOREIGN INVESTORS, ESTABLISHING THE STABILITY OF LONG-TERM LEASE CONTRACTS, AMENDING FOR THE PURPOSE REPUBLIC ACT NO. 7652, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE "INVESTORS' LEASE ACT”  last August 29, 2025.

One thing is for sure: the “band-aid” solution is merely a temporary fix. It is ineffective and does not cater to the needs of the students and faculty. Moreover, it affects the university calendar with the postponement of midterm exams, quizzes, and organizational activities, and notwithstanding network and connectivity issues faced by students, since not everyone is privileged enough to have internet access and proper devices to endure consecutive hours of screen time.
