Fifty years ago, Marcos Sr. signed a proclamation that marked the grueling era of Filipinos - Martial Law. This bloody chapter resulted in a series of powerful resistance from the collective effort of citizens to overthrow the dictator, which we now know as the “People Power Revolution.” As we commemorate the thousands who died, were tortured, disappeared, and overall suffered under the hands of tyranny during this time of the year, let us look back and discover who amongst the current government officials experienced the rotten system of Martial Law.    Senator Koko Pimentel - Despite voicing that he does...

  “We are not lab rats!” Pahayag ng “Rise For Education” — isang samahan na naglalayong ipaglaban ang karapatan ng mga mag-aaral sa Pilipinas — sa isang Twitter post, ilang lingo bago magsimula ang nalalapit na limited face-to-face classes. Ilang buwan na ring nagiging mainit na usapin sa social media ang pagbabalik ng face-to-face classes sa kolehiyo, kabilang ang mga lugar na nasasailalim sa Alert Level 3. At pinayagan din ni Pangulong Duterte na isama ang mga lugar na nasa Alert Level 1 and 2 na magbalik eskwela sa darating naman na Pebrero ngayong taon. Noong January 11, 2022, Martes,...

Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. (also known as BBM) is one of the most controversial presidential candidates today. A lot of contents, both articles and videos are stating his plausibility (for pro-BBM) and implausibility (for anti-BBM) all over the social media platforms.   According to his supporters, Filipinos should vote for BBM due to the following: He is a long-term visionary person.

This election has been the most difficult path we’ve walked because there are a lot of people that we lost. People whom we admired and looked up to growing up were the same people who condemned us for fighting for the truth; for standing up for what we thought will give us an honest and transparent governance – one with a clean track record and with a heart...

Hindi ako nalulungkot dahil hindi nanalo ang kandidato ko. Nalulungkot ako dahil pakiramdam ko parang ninakaw ang kinabukasan ko, o nating mga Pilipino. Nawawalan ako ng gana, nawawalan ako ng pag-asa para magpatuloy ng pag-aaral. Para saan pa ang pagkayod sa pag-aaral kung hahayaan lang din palang makaupo sa bansa natin ang taong hindi naman nakapagtapos ng pag-aaral at pinepeke lang ang kredensyal? Para saan pa ang mga debate sa eskuwelahan kung meron naman palang nananalong kandidato na hindi sumasali sa mga ito?
