𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦 | "Revoke the NDA!"

Prominent political parties, KASAMA BulSU and BulSUONE, held a protest to revoke the University Commission on Student Elections' (UCSE) Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) on the recent draft of the 2025 Election Code, today, at 1 PM in front of the University Admin Hall.

In a post-protest interview, former Student Government Senator Althea Jana Trinidad stressed that the Election Code is a public document and must be accessible to all BulSUans. "Kung hindi isasapubliko, ano pa at naging pampublikong opisina tayo [UCSE]? Ang election code ay hindi naman confidential na may tinatago tayo mula sa mga estudyante. Ito ay pampublikong dokumento para sa isang pampublikong gawain—ang eleksyon."

The protest followed yesterday’s online statements from the BulSU SG and both parties, condemning the NDA and urging UCSE to publicize the draft for transparency. They also revealed that after refusing to sign the NDA, UCSE reclaimed the physical copy of the document.

In response to this, UCSE posted a statement today, standing their ground that unless finalized, the unofficial Election Code draft will not be publicized. "While the Revised Election Code 2025 is not classified as a confidential document, it is an official document of the UCSE. Once it has undergone the proper processes of review, approval, and finalization, it will be formally published through the appropriate channels for public access," the commission emphasized in its statement.

During the protest, the BulSUans taped their mouths while holding placards—a symbolic act calling for a transparent and democratic election process, starting with the public disclosure of the Election Code draft. | via Jian Zharese Joeis Sanz, 𝘊𝘜𝘙𝘚𝘖𝘙

𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗦 | More Than a Sport: How Table Tennis Shaped Mikhail Villanueva’s Life

𝘉𝘺 𝘉𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘢 𝘚𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘰𝘴

A 22-year-old BSIT student proves that persistence, passion, and big dreams can push anyone to greater heights. Meet Mikhail Villanueva, whose journey in table tennis began when he discovered his interest in the sport when he was a grade 5 student. His curiosity has evolved into a burning passion that cannot be easily shaken by the challenges he has faced along the way.

Mikhail's competitive career started in his grade 7 days, during the Bulacan Private Schools Association (BULPRISA) Meet. Battling nerves and inexperience, he didn’t expect it would mark the beginning of his feat. Securing a bronze medal in the event not only became a proud milestone but also fueled his determination to pursue the sport with even greater passion.

“Doon nag-start ‘yung eagerness ko sa paglalaro ng table tennis, na dapat ko pang iimprove yung skills ko,” Mikhail recalls. “Kasi napansin ko parang sila kaya nila [maging magaling], edi ako rin kaya ko rin.”

𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗧𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗻𝗻𝗶𝘀 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆

Mikhail’s first step into the sport was humble. Growing up in a family of table tennis enthusiasts, he was naturally drawn to the game. “Siguro kung wala sila, baka hindi rin ako makakarating sa mga gantong competition na nasasalihan ko.” Initially, he didn’t plan to pursue it seriously, viewing the sport as difficult and intimidating. However, the thrill, speed, and strategic depth of table tennis soon captivated him.

One of Mikhail’s proudest achievements is his progression in the SCUAA (State Colleges and Universities Athletic Association). In 2023, when he was a second-year college student, he stood out among nearly 20 hopefuls during tryouts and earned a spot on the team of five. He was exhilarated by the accomplishment—until he learned that he was assigned as a reserve player.

“Masakit sa puso na makita ang teammates mong naglalaro habang ikaw nagchi-cheer lang,” he recalled. “Pero yun din ang nag-push sakin na mag-training pa.”

By his third year, Mikhail had earned his spot in the SCUAA lineup and competed in his first match. Though he lost, the setback only strengthened his resolve. Now, as a fourth-year student, Mikhail has risen to the rank of captain ball – a fruit of his hard fought battles and endurance in table tennis.
“Narealize ko no’ng time na ‘yun nung reserve ako, [sinabi ko sa sarili ko], hindi pa ito ‘yung time mo, kaya mag-stay ka lang muna d’yan. Darating din ‘yung time para sayo.” He stated as he reflected on his journey, “Kaya tignan mo ako ngayon, dumating na ‘yung time sakin na ito ako ngayon, naging captain ball.”

Being a student-athlete is no easy feat. With late night training and student workloads, his resting time was usually sacrificed. “Mahirap talaga. Minsan, nakakalimutan ko na ‘yung pahinga ko,” he admitted. But with effective time management and the support of his family, friends, and classmates, he manages to find balance.

𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗛

Mikhail’s story also sheds light on the struggles athletes face in the Philippines. While some sports like basketball receive mainstream support, others like table tennis struggle to gain recognition or funding. Opportunities for financial stability as an athlete remain limited, with many players unable to sustain their passion as a career.

“'Yung worst part siguro [sa pagiging athlete], naisip ko na hindi ito ‘yung bubuhay sakin at sa pamilya ko,” Mikhail revealed.

This harsh reality forces many young athletes to view sports as a hobby rather than a viable career path. Yet, Mikhail chooses to focus on the positives. The friendships he’s built, the experiences he’s gained, and the personal growth he’s achieved.

“Sobrang saya maging atleta. ‘Yung meron kang makakasalamuha na iba’t ibang tao, magiging kaibigan mo, at ‘yung training kasama ‘yung mga teammates mo—’yun ‘yung best part,” said Mikhail.

Mikhail encourages others to try table tennis, “Subukan niyo ‘yung table tennis. Napaka-unique niya sa ibang sports. Once na na-try mo, doon mo talaga makukuha yung excitement at saya,” he noted. For him, table tennis is more than just a sport—it’s a passion that has shaped his life and could do the same for others.

Through his unwavering dedication, Mikhail reminds us that sports remain a powerful tool for personal growth and inspiration. Whether you’re a student looking for a new hobby or someone aiming to excel in a sport, his message is clear: 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴.

𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗞 | CICT Student Leaders engage in Dean’s Hour meeting, unites in addressing student concerns

1st and 2nd year Class Mayors and Deputy Mayors from the College of Information and Communication Technology (CICT), attended the Dean's Hour on February 13, from 9 AM to 3:00 PM, at the CICT Ideation Room.

The forum, led by Engr. Evelyn C. Samson, Information System (IS) Program Chair, and
Ms. Welsie S. Vergara, Library and Information Science (LIS) Program Chair, opened concerns and proposed initiatives with student leaders.

In an interview, Engr. Evelyn emphasized that such forums serve as vital opportunities for students to voice their concerns, fostering a direct line of communication with the administration.

She stated, "Very important to know [student concerns] actually, it is one of the priorities talaga ng college. Especially ni Dean, kasi [nagkakaroon] tayo dito ng parang window for us to be able to check what's happening on the ground."

During the forum, student leaders raised various pressing concerns their class currently faces.

Mr. Elizur D.J. Palaganas, class mayor of 1I-G2, highlighted the lack of coding equipment. "Meron po akong mga classmate na wala silang dalang laptop or anything [kaya] tuwing magkakaroon po ng activity parang [nagiging] time consuming kasi naghihiraman pa ng laptop," he stated.

This concern underscored the need for accessible computing resources to facilitate learning. As a solution, the admin reassured that they will take action to deliver accessible learning facilities and equipment for the students.

Another issue regarding facility access especially to the National Service Training Program Bldg. (NSTP) was brought up by Mr. Jan Vincent. The logistical hurdle mentioned by Vincent, added unnecessary delays to the start of classes.

"Biggest concern ko po ay doon sa NSTP bldg. First of all po, ‘yung mga prof naming ay mangagaling pa sa malayo let’s say CSSP so malayo, so ang gagawin nila ay aakyat pa sila ng 3rd floor just to get the key para mabuksan ‘yung room sa dulo ng building," he explained.

The students also expressed their appreciation for the opportunity to directly voice concerns. "Siyempre napakahalaga nito, [kung] walang ganito hindi malalaman ng nasa taas ang problema ng mga estudyante," Jan Vincent noted.

Similarly, Mr. Jamora highlighted the unity among class mayors in addressing student concerns. He emphasized their crucial role as the voice of their peers. "Nagkakaroon ng pagsasama ang mga mayors on concerns, siyempre kami ‘yung nagiging boses ng mga kaklase naming na need malaman ng higher-ups."

Another set of Dean's Hour meetings for third-year CICT students is scheduled for February 17, 2025.

𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦-𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘 | Honoring Art and Culture: Revisiting Sining Sakbibi Ensemble’s Award Winning Performances

𝘉𝘺 𝘓𝘪𝘢𝘮 𝘊𝘢𝘣𝘶𝘨𝘶𝘢𝘯𝘨

As the lights dimmed, excitement filled the room, setting the stage for an unforgettable moment for the audience involved. An emotional rollercoaster unraveled on stage—the actors poured their hearts into five performances. Laughter and Silence alternated as the play navigated themes of dreams, friendship, war, and artistic resilience.

Sining Sakbibi Ensemble, the official organization of the Bachelor in Performing Arts - Theater Program at Bulacan State University, once again showcased its artistic mastery, revisiting its award-winning pieces from the Culture and Arts Region 3 Festival of Arts, held last November 2024.

Bitlog and Pagdatal were the first two plays. Bitlog tells the story of a friendship put to the test when a group of friends stumbles upon a bag containing one million pesos, and Pagdatal—set in a dystopian future, where a small group of artists hides in a hidden bunker beneath the city, defying a world that seeks to suppress creativity and silence their voices.

Both plays highlight the resilience of the human spirit. Bitlog explores the moral dilemma of choosing friendship over a defining decision; meanwhile, Pagdatal portrays the relentless fight for artistic freedom in the face of oppression.

Effortlessly transitioning into the following performances, they presented two more heartfelt stories—Mali and Alitapwa. Mali tells the story of three best friends who dream of studying at UP, but their plans take an unexpected turn when one of them faces a family tragedy. As tensions rise, they start questioning their trust in one another, culminating in an emotional farewell.

Alitapwa explores a haunting yet hopeful tale of childhood innocence and imagination. Five children embarked on a journey to reach the land of Alitapwa—a place they believe holds hope and peace. However, reality sets in as they realize it is nothing more than a fairy tale.

Closing the five-part performance, Teatro Magiting started with a strong musical score. Actors, dressed in traditional Filipino attire, transported the audiences in the late 19th century during the revolution. The story is about a man who wants to leave the group to join the war. He also has a desire to change their instruments into weapons. His plan failed, but the group encouraged him to stay, emphasizing that their strength lies in unity.

More than just a performance, REDUX is a statement of the enduring power of storytelling. With its captivating narratives and moving performances, it demonstrates the creativity and passion of the Sining Sakbibi Ensemble. Exploring the themes of friendship, sacrifice, hope, and resistance. REDUX not only revisits the past but also challenges the present. Reminding the audiences to reflect on the role of theaters in reflecting, questioning, and shaping society.

Showings will continue until Saturday at 10:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 3:00 PM.

13/02/2025

𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗞 | Sining Sakbibi Ensemble (SSE) showcased their spirit-lifting performance starting February 12, 2025, at BulSU E-Library’s Function Hall, featuring REDUX— the reignition of their winning edge entries from the last Culture and the Arts Association of State Universities and Colleges (CAASUC) III — Regional Culture and the Arts Festival (RCAF).

The show comprised five performances: Bitlog, Mali, Alitapwa, Pagdatal, and Teatro Magiting. Each performance was filled with pure emotion from the actors and actresses, striking a chord with the audience, who reacted with joy and laughter throughout the shows.

Together, the performances leave a lasting impression on the audiences that will linger long for them. The showings will be until February 15, 2025.

𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦 𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘 | More than half of party-list groups do not represent marginalized sectors - Kontra Daya

Election watchdog Kontra Daya, mentioned in a report today, February 12, that 55.13% of the party-list groups running for Eleksyon 2025 do not represent marginalized groups.

The watchdog gathered and summarized the flagged party-list groups in a press statement posted in Facebook.

“Political dynasties appear to dominate 4PS (Abalos), ACT-CIS (Tulfo and Yap), FPJ Bantay Bayan (Poe Llamanzares with Dolor and Paton families) and Tingog Sinirangan (Romualdez). Big business interests are apparent in Ako Bicol (Sunwest) and TGP (Teravera; contractor of DPWH projects). Duterte Youth has military connections which explains its track record for red- tagging,” Kontra Daya stated.

“They are among the 86 party-list groups flagged by Kontra Daya. Aside from the three reasons, the other grounds for flagging are cases connected to pork barrel/plunder/graft and corruption; dubious advocacy; and not enough information.”

Senatorial candidates started their 90-day campaign for the midterm election yesterday, February 11, 2025, and will last until May 10, 2025.
