Hindi na pito ng referee o sigaw ni coach ang maririnig mo kundi ang ingay ng jisulife ni seatmate sa loob ng tahimik na silid-aralan at discussion ni prof na hindi mo na maintindihan kaka-excuse mo noong mga nakaraang araw. Hindi na score ng kalaban ang hahabulin mo kundi score mo na sa missed quizzes sa bawat subject para lang maisalba ang nanganganib mong grado.

When the reality hits you harder than when a volleyball hits you in the face. Fun time is over, kalimutan na ang umaatikabong bakbakan last week at damhin na ang lagablab ng hell week bago tuluyang mayakap ang lamig nang paparating na pasko.

Remember, hindi score mo ang shinoshoot sa ring kaya ‘wag mong gawing bilog.

“‘𝗪𝗮𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝗵𝗶𝘆𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝗴𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗼𝗻𝗴, 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘁𝗼, 𝗱𝗼𝗰?”

You’ve surely seen and even sung along to it—a catchy jingle playing on television that sticks in the minds of many Filipinos: “Wag mahiyang magtanong, may RightMed ba nito?” The iconic ad from a popular health supplement brand tries to convince people it has the best medicines. We cannot deny that it has left an imprint on viewers and has even been the subject of several parodies online. However, beyond the captivating tune, it may lead us to an overlooked issue that many of us may not realize. There are a lot of pharmaceutical ads that claim to have “right meds.” However, the harsh reality remains that not everyone has access to them. As our screens continue to be flooded with ads for medicines and healthcare options, for those who cannot even afford a basic check-up, it is just a distant dream that is hard to reach.

As we celebrate International Universal Health Coverage Day, raising awareness about the critical importance of strong and resilient health systems takes the spotlight. The voices of individuals waiting for affordable and quality healthcare must be heard. The goal is to urge those in power to prioritize health and invest in it. In our world today, what should be a fundamental right has been turned into a privilege. If we open our eyes and look within, it's clear that the doors to healthcare are often closed to some and restricted by an invisible barrier that is difficult to break. What should be available to all has become a race to obtain.

In the Philippines, healthcare has made strides and achieved new heights over the past few years. At the forefront of this journey is the Universal Health Care (UHC), known as Kalusugan Pangkalahatan (KP). It has been serving as a bridge for our fellowmen to healthcare. However, the undeniable truth remains—long waiting lines in public clinics, shortages of equipment, and insufficient medical staff are just some of the challenges Filipinos still encounter. While private hospitals often offer better facilities, they remain out of reach for those from lower-income backgrounds who must work day and night to afford their needs. Although new medicines to treat illnesses are being developed, the reality is that for many, even the basic act of seeing a doctor is already a big mountain to climb.

As this event serves as a reminder, we must take a look at every individual who is being denied this right. We live in a society full of discrimination and inequality, where not everyone is fortunate enough to access basic needs. Many face numerous challenges and hardships just to live comfortably. Some even choose not to see a doctor due to the high costs. What they should prioritize first is their health, not the money they would spend. Pieces of paper are not as valuable as someone’s life. Unfortunately, it now seems like they are needed to live.

Aligning with the aim of International Universal Health Coverage Day, may we see improvements in medicine and healthcare matched with making these advancements accessible beyond the screen. However, before that, we need to stand and be seen. Let’s not be passive viewers watching everything innovate while we dream of being able to experience it. May we not forget our fellow citizens who are left in the dark and help them shine by advocating for proper and free healthcare. Let them be aware that this is their right, and they must demand it and remind others of it. Right mo 'to. Right natin 'to.

𝗜𝗖𝗬𝗠𝗜: 𝗣𝘂𝗸𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗸𝗼 𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗶𝗽𝘂𝗻𝗮𝗻, 𝗣𝗮𝗴𝗹𝗮𝗴𝗼 𝗮𝘆 𝗞𝗮𝗺𝘁𝗮𝗻!

Sa nagdaang mga taon, ang korapsyon ay tila isang parasitiko na unti-unting umuubos sa diwa ng katarungan at integridad, nilulumpo ang mga institusyon at pinahihina ang tiwala ng mga mamamayan sa pamahalaan, mapa-loob o labas man ng ating bansa. Dahil nananatili ito bilang isang malubhang sakit sa ating lipunan, ang United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) ay idineklara ang ika-9 ng Disyembre bilang “International Anti-Corruption Day” noong 2003, upang imulat ang mga mamamayan sa katiwalian na namamayagpag sa ating lipunan. Ngunit sa kasalukuyang kalagayan ng ating bansa, hindi maipagkakaila na ang adbokasiyang ito ay nananatiling isang hangarin na hindi maisakatuparan.

Ang korapsyon ay isang mabigat na aninong nagpapadilim sa bansang Pilipinas.
Ayon sa artikulo ni Mer Layson, ang korapsyon ay nagpapababa ng tiwala ng publiko sa mga institusyon ng gobyerno, na nagreresulta sa pagbaba ng mga pamumuhunan at paglago ng ekonomiya. Dagdag pa nito, sa paglaganap ng korapsyon, nagreresulta ito sa pagdagdag ng kahirapan kaya naman malaki ang epekto nito hindi lamang sa ating ekonomiya kundi pati na rin sa buhay ng bawat mamamayan. Ang lahat ng mga pagnanakaw, kawalang katapatan at katiwalian sa gobyerno ay nagiging dahilan upang mangyari ang kakulangan na pondo para sa mga taong serbisyo katulad na lamang ng edukasyon, kalusugan, at mga nasasakupan na serbisyong imprastruktura. Bukod dito, ang dalang finansyal sa negosyo ay tumataas dahil sa mga maling bayad at paboritismo na nagreresulta sa hindi patas na kumpetisyon at pagtaas ng presyo ng mga produkto. Sa pananaw ng isang artikulo na naisulat sa VeritasPH, ang suhol at katiwalian ay nakapangalawang puwesto pagkatapos ng trafficking ng droga pagdating sa pinaka mapanganib at nakasisira sa ekonomiya ng estado ng mga ekonomiya ng Pilipinas dahil sa pagkawala ng mga oportunidad sa negosyo at pagtaas ng mga gastos sa operasyon.

Kamakailan lamang ay nagkaroon na ng pagsusumite ukol sa Certificate of Candidacy, kaya naman naging malaking usapin din ang patungkol sa pagtaas ng bilang ng korapsyon na nangyayari. Marami ang umalma rito lalo pa't isa na sa matagal na isyu sa lipunan ang katiwalian sa pamahalaan. Dagdag pa rito, bukas na ang mata ng karamihan patungkol sa hindi pantay na distribusyon at sa mga serbisyong nararapat nilang matamasa. Sa kabila ng mga suhesyon sa mabuting pamamahala ng mga pondo, may mga ulat ng mga pamahalaan sa mga halalan sa bawat bayan o barangay o pamunuan na gumagamit ng mga pondo sa mga walang katuturan o ang mas nakabahala ay paglalaan ng mga pondo para sa mga personal o political campaigns. Halimbawa, iniulat ng DILG noong 2019, 349 na lokal na opisyal ng pamahalaan ay nagbabayad ng mga “permit to campaign” fees, kasama ng mga ito ang CPP-NPA. Ganito ang pagbasa sapagkat may mga insidente o pantigihing mg polisiya na walang kahulugan at hindi nakatutulong o di kaya ay ito siyang nakatayo na may mga dahilan yang hindi akma ang mga pondo at ang mga inisiyatibang ito ilalabas ang ugnay ugayang bahaw.

Kung magpapatuloy pa ang pag-abuso sa kapangyarihan mas lalo lamang magiging mahirap na alisin ito. Bukod pa rito, mawawalan ng tiwala ang mga mamamayan sa kanilang mamumuno na siyang magdudulot pa ng mas malaking problema at dagok sa bansa. Mas magiging laganap din ang hindi pagkakapantay-pantay dahil sa suliraning ito.

Bukod pa rito, mahalaga ang pagpapatibay ng Anti-Corruption Day nang sa gayon ay magkaroon ng tranparensiya kung saan nga ba napupunta ang mga pondo na mayroon ang isang pamahalaan, lalo pa't mula ito sa mga buwis na pinagpapagurang bayaran ng mga manggagawa. Ayon kay Parañaque Second District Rep. Gus Tambunting, kinakailangang bigyang karapatan sa publiko ang mga impormasyong mula sa gobyerno. Saad pa nito, nagbibigay daan ito upang magamit ng mga mamamayan ang karapatan nila sa mga impormasyon at maiwasan ang mapagsamantalang pamumuno.

Sa araw na pagtalaga ng 'Anti-Corruption Day', nakatutulong ito upang magkaroon din ng pansin sa kahalagahan ng koneksyon sa pagitan ng mga mamamayan at gobyerno. Sa oras na mangyari ito, malaki ang tyansa na mapapabuti ang bansa maging ang ekonomiya na mayroon ito. Sa madaling sabi, sabay-sabay na aangat ang pangkalahatang pagbubuti sa bawat sektor kung tuluyang maiiwasan at matatanggal ang korapsyon.

Mahirap mang bigyang solusyon ito at dadaan sa ilang mahabang proseso ngunit mahalaga na mawakasan ito. Ayon sa ulat ng isang mamamahayag na si Shanice Espiritu, kinakailangan ng isang masa na hindi titiisin at papahintulutan ang korapsyon bilang isa sa unang hakbang upang wakasan ito. Higit sa lahat, kinakailangan ang pagkakaisa ng mga mamamayan at gobyerno nang sa gayon ay tuluyang mapuksa ang isyung katiwalian lalo pa't nag-uumpisa ang pagbabago sa maayos na kasunduan sapagkat ang korapsyon ay may malaking kontribusyon sa hindi pagkakaintindihan na nagdudulot ng malaking kaguluhan.

𝗟𝗲𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗖𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗕𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲

Growing up inside a country with nothing but a mess, its people always desire for a leader who is competent enough to stand up and hear the countrymen’s plea. However, is there anyone among them who has resolved the issues regarding human rights?

The former president Rodrigo Roa Duterte pledged that the issues that had been plaguing throughout the country can be resolved. But right after hearing the cries and lamentations of people whose loved ones are dying, my heart started to ache for them, for the weight of such grief is unimaginable. The loss that they are experiencing is beyond words, and the helplessness they feel during those moments is crushing. All I can do is to hope that they will eventually find a way to move past their despair and find some tiny solace in the company of the people who truly care.

How far can money control you, servants, or shall we say, the hidden killers? Innocent faces have knelt down and begged for their lives, yet you chose to turn a blind eye and become deaf. They aren’t officials anymore; they are monsters who do things for the sake of power and position.

Our compatriots in other countries who chose to venture abroad experienced severe abuses in their jobs, and often return to the country cold, and their feet are already straight and equal without receiving any legal action.

Even the Chinese-nationals who were just invited to work outside their motherland and were brought here to work in POGOs were not pardoned. Their faces are filled with fear and stress as someone approaches them to offer a hand.

How many more of these people must die and ask for mercy before the government sets them free? No one could ever escape the hand or cruelty if the tip of a gun was already pointed on your head.

These officials involving multiple intrusion, should be held accountable and that the government should have a better strategy to end the problems our country is facing.

I firmly believe that our fellow countrymen should be well informed of what the voices scream. To be aware of the silenced cries of the ones who knelt down and fought hard for their life. To stand firmly while seeking for the justice that should be served to the body. May we experience the justice that should have been ours from the beginning, rather than continuously seeking it as if it were not our right.

𝗠𝗲𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗶! 𝗧𝘂𝗸𝗶 𝗸𝗮! 𝗠𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘆𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗮 𝗣𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗮!

It was on the 11th of December, back in 1571 when the Spanish authorities hailed the province of Pampanga as the first province in the Luzon. It was named after the term “pangpang ilog,” which means "riverside" as the earlier ancestors resided near the riversides. Being one of the earliest provinces the Spanish had colonized, some of their characteristics were left and adapted by the Kapampangans.

Pampanga is known for its grand festivals—Ibon-Ebun, Sampaguita, Duman, and Sinukwan. These festivals became testimonies of the vibrant history Kapampangans celebrate with music and energizing performances. Moreover, Kapampangans are recognized as religious; Betis Church, San Guillermo Parish Church, and Holy Rosary Church are some of the established churches around Pampanga that displayed historical value, aside from their heavenly structures, serving as a place for devotion.

“Manyaman keni Pampanga,” as they say. The abundance of these heritages is visible and showcased, as Pampanga is notably known as the “Culinary Capital of the Philippines,” serving most of the best Filipino cuisine with passion and pride. Acclaimed as the “Christmas Capital of the Philippines,” the City of San Fernando, Pampanga, is the home of the Giant Lanterns, which fill every corner with dazzling lights that captivate our eyes.

Pampanga is home to a vibrant history accompanied by culture and, of course, the warm spirit of its people. Known for their bravery, craftsmanship, and pride. With their resilience, creativity, and innate social skills, Kapampangans will welcome you with everything they have. This history holds its bountiful and beautiful story that captures traditional entertainment with lively music that overfills the emptiness of the streets. This is the moment wherein it connects the old times to treasure the inheritance of our beloved province.

Pampanga Day serves as a recognition highlighting the scenery, resonating melody, and appetizing foods that fill our stomachs with savory. This day is more than just a holiday; appreciating our exquisite distinction and owning our own makes this Pampanga Day much livelier which will be embedded in your memory!

As the sun rose on the 5th day of December, marches from afar reverberated through every part of Bacolor–all leads back to Don Honorio Ventura State University. The morning air was supposedly cold; however, from a certain distance covered with purplish accents–it was blazingly hot as the fire suppressed within the bodies of the Intellectuals kept them from the shivers brought by the December air. It was a fire, not enough to burn their souls but more than enough to fuel their courage and competitiveness as the 2024 Intramurals have officially started.

As the moon lights up the sky on the 9th day of December, the 3-day 2024 Intramurals have successfully ended. Still, the identities you–Intellectuals have established will live inside and outside the walls of Dubai. As you stare at your competitors, the life within your eyes is captured through every lens of cameras being hypnotized by your presence. Every drop of your sweat counts for your success. Through the air harshly exhaled from your lungs, up to your pulsating heartbeat–all are heard from far and beyond. Let us paint the town purple as we present the Intellectuals and their coaches who brought a glimmering recognition to our college–the College of Social Sciences and Philosophy.

𝗥𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲

History flows in rivers of blood, carrying with it the pain of repetitive violence. Some of the darkest tragedies in the annals of history involve the inhumane purging of entire ethnic groups, whose lives were extinguished mercilessly in the pursuit of twisted political ambitions. To honor the deaths of millions and prevent its reoccurrence, the United Nations General Assembly marked December 9, 1948 as the International Day of Commemoration and Dignity of the Victims of the Crime of Genocide and of the Prevention of this Crime. While this effort stems from good intentions, it nevertheless fails to prevent history from repeating itself as the Israel-Palestine conflict continues. With the death toll of 44,502 Palestinians, including women and children, global efforts to end a clear attempt at mass murder remain disturbingly inadequate and disjointed.

One of the most contentious and long-standing examples of genocide is the ongoing conflict in Palestine. With Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories such as the Gaza Strip, West Bank, and East Jerusalem since 1967, thousands of Palestinians were displaced, injured, and killed in their own homeland, perpetuating a relentless cycle of violence and oppression. This relentless cycle of violence mirrors historical atrocities, such as the Holocaust, where millions of lives were lost to a regime's ruthless pursuit of supremacy.

Up to the present, genocide persists, as the global community often remains passive. Violence continues to arise across the globe, leaving blood, screams, and tears in its wake, especially from the innocent eyes of children and families. These tragedies result from the actions of those who wield power without accountability, treating their authority as a tool to destroy lives mercilessly.

Moreover, this day is our chance to reaffirm our responsibility to preserve the memories of those who were banished. This is also our chance to make sure that their suffering will not go in vain as we reflect on the shortcomings of international systems in preventing what had happened in the past. Diversity in traditions and beliefs is what makes us human beings and members of society; we must partake in embracing the individuality of one another to avert tragedies and horror from happening again.

Violence begins with the tiniest act of hatred, prejudice, discrimination, and normalization of hate. These actions may be seen as small, but they could go further if not prevented earlier. As youths, citizens, and educated individuals of the nation, we have the privilege to stand and speak up against eradication and injustice by advocating human rights that support marginalized communities. In every step, in every action, there is a corresponding contribution to preventing the future destruction of hate and violence against races and nations.

Lighting up the torch, the court was once set on fire. A royal flag was raised, dancing through every rhythm of the wind and singing the victory of our college—the College of Social Sciences and Philosophy. Behind the purplish facade lie the Intellectuals, who took their time to train and fought for the college's pride during the games, alongside their coaches who gave the players the motivation, strength, and advice they needed.

Your perseverance to train under the heat of the burning sun did not go unnoticed, as well as those moments when you were thirsty for water, but kept on playing. The times wherein you needed to excuse yourself from your classes to attend the practices also helped you reach this far. Hurdles only motivated you to give your best performance and bring home the bacon, and you did.

You made the whole community proud, Intellectuals! Indeed, you are “malagu” as you graced us with your presence, confidence slipping through your lips as you uttered the name of CSSP. You competed admirably through every game—causing the crowd to go wild—giving everyone a very “masanting” memory to be replayed like a scene from TV. All of these moments proved that you are “magaling” as every part of your body and soul exerted immense effort to work as a team and bag medals.

Let the torch continuously ignite, as the light within you never fades. Thank you for the fight, Intellectuals!

In the end, as the timer came to a stop, the game ended with a dramatic draw with neither of the teams advancing.

Thereafter, the CSSP Fighting Intellectuals won the match against College of Industrial Technology (CIT) via default as the latter failed to appear for the match.

The thrilling world of Mobile Legends competitive gaming witnessed another electrifying showdown as College of Social Sciences and Philosophy (CSSP) and College of Engineering and Architecture (CEA) clashed in MLBB Girls final tournament.

According to Andrei Joy Vergara, the MLBB Women’s coach, CSSP's mental toughness waned during Game 2, which made them incapable of winning in Game 3. Despite the crushing defeat, CSSP faithful fans rallied behind their beloved team, chanting, "It's okay, it's alright, CSSP!” And so, the curtain falls on an unforgettable showdown.

The crowd roars as the College of Social Sciences and Philosophy (CSSP) Women's Sepak Takraw Team takes the court with their opponent, the College of Business Studies (CBS) at the DHVSU Extension Lot.

Both teams showed their passion and desire to score by showing off their skills to make the rattan ball go over the other side of the net. While the CSSP tries to catch the score, the opponent has been nimble of their feet, utilizing strong serving and accurate passes to maintain the lead during the first half of the first set.

Although both teams have been dominating one another during the first set, due to the agility and strong serves of CBS, the CSSP fell short in the first set by having the set score of 14 while CBS had 16.

The same story has been told on the second set, the CBS continued to show the CSSP prowess. In the end, the set ended with a score of 7-15, CBS ball.

With this unfortunate result, the team is set to fight with the DHVSU Lubao Campus (DLC) for the bronze medal.

Determination is seen in their eyes as they started to kick the rattan ball over the net and set a score.The cheers of the crowd made them energetic to play.

Despite their hunger to win the game. The opposing team did not let the CSSP roar and did its job to get the title. DLC dominated both sets and CSSP Women’s Sepak Takraw lost the round.

On the other hand, the Sepak Takraw Men team won two games against DHVSU Apalit Campus (DAC) and College of Computing Studies (CCS) before falling short on their third game against College of Industrial Technology (CIT) and their last game against DHVSU Porac Campus (DPC).

Despite the downfall, the CSSP Sepak Takraw team is still motivated to make amends for the intramurals that will happen next year.

As the court lay empty, opportunity and desire bounced instantly. A melancholic day at Sta. Ines Covered Court was felt by the players and coach of the Colleges of Social Sciences and Philosophy (CSSP) Women’s Basketball team.

In a last-ditch effort, some players of CSSP rushed to the venue; the game coordinator gave them time, but their attempts to make it through were in vain. Time was not on their side. The match began without them, and the default loss was sealed.

Notably, it was highlighted that the cause of the default game was the late announcement of schedules, misplaced game details, and missed communication that left players and the coach scrambling.

The CSSP Women’s Basketball Team received a heartfelt commendation from their coach, Mr. Jan Quiambao, following their recent performance on the court.

Reflecting on the team's unwavering determination and passion, Coach Quiambao remarked, “For the women’s player, thank you so much for your commitment to the game. Thank you for not giving up until the very moment. I’m so proud of you. This gives an uplifting feeling to continue and spike for more.”

This unfortunate incident highlights the importance of clear communication and timely distribution of game schedules to ensure teams are well-prepared and aware of their commitments. The CSSP is now focusing on shifts to rebounding stronger, ensuring such setbacks and never darkening their doorstep again.

𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗿𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘀𝗼𝗮𝗿, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗱! As the sun rose on the 5th day of December, marches from afar reverberated through every part of Bacolor–all leads back to Don Honorio Ventura State University. The morning air was supposedly cold; however, from a certain distance covered with purplish accents–it was blazingly hot as the fire suppressed within the bodies of the Intellectuals kept them from the shivers brought by the December air. It was a fire, not enough to burn their souls but more than enough to fuel their courage and competitiveness as the 2024 Intramurals have officially started. As the moon lights up the sky on the 9th day of December, the 3-day 2024 Intramurals have successfully ended. Still, the identities you–Intellectuals have established will live inside and outside the walls of Dubai. As you stare at your competitors, the life within your eyes is captured through every lens of cameras being hypnotized by your presence. Every drop of your sweat counts for your success. Through the air harshly exhaled from your lungs, up to your pulsating heartbeat–all are heard from far and beyond. Let us paint the town purple as we present the Intellectuals and their coaches who brought a glimmering recognition to our college–the College of Social Sciences and Philosophy.
