Campus press freedom, ironically, is being pressed.

Not too recently, a teacher spoke to me and they shared their sentiments on how some student publications seem to put their respective academic institution on a high pedestal, releasing content that spray eau de parfum at the institution instead of the students who they most likely vowed to serve.

In retrospect, when I attended a press conference in Tuguegarao last January, a lecturer shared that the main purpose of student publications must be, in verbatim, “to be a servant of the students, not a slave of the institution,” which I shared to the said teacher when we were having a talk.

However, I asked them while it is true that the printed and digital media of some student publications nowadays are mostly filled with articles that talk about or praise their respective institution instead of making them student-centric, are the student publications to be entirely blamed?

No, not entirely so.

A fellow student journalist, when we were having coffee last April, shared that as much as they want to write articles that bring student concerns to light and call out their college for issues, they are afraid that the college might cut their budget and withdraw their support to them, which is why they, unfortunately, release more “audience-friendly” articles instead of articles that stir up conversations.

One must not also forget the illustration of the University of Santo Tomas’ censorship over TomasinoWeb’s photo merely depicting UST’s College of Information and Computing Sciences standing in front of a 7-Eleven store that, according to the said university, brought “public ridicule” as the students’ uniforms mirror the colors of the convenience store brand.

On a larger scale, Himati, the official student publication of the University of the Philippines Mindanao, was accused of being an “ally” of the Communist Party of the Philippines-National Democratic Front-New People’s Army (CPP-NDF-NPA), along with UP Mindanao alumnus Jayvie Cabajes and the United Church of Christ in the Philippines-Haran. This is among the thousands of recorded violations against press freedom in the Philippines.

Contemporarily speaking, what does this tell us?

Pointing fingers at student publications for aromatizing their institution’s name is a no-brainer, but in the grand scheme of things, chances of unfavorable situations such as harassment, budget cut, support withdrawal, and red-tagging are heightened once they produce articles that expose the administration and teaching personnel as they have a gun pointed at their head. Hence, we cannot really blame such student publications as they, too, are afraid of opening the pandora’s box.

Students are the biggest stakeholders of institutions, but our country’s cycle of impunity has long showed that the exercise of rightful campus press freedom by all means makes them the largest at-stake. As unjust as it may be, let May 3 be a call and a reminder for the student journalists and journalists in general to resist, hold the line, and continue speaking out in photos and words as the more we accept that this is just the way things are, the more likely we will find ourselves forgiving bigger transgressions.

𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒 𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄 | SAS vanguard places third in PACSA Extemporaneous Speech

Irene Cabaccan, a third-year legal management student, placed third in the Luzon-Wide, Philippine Association of Campus Student Advisers Inc. (PACSA) Extemporaneous Speech competition held on March 13, 2024, at Teacher's Camp in Baguio City, Philippines.

"Actually, kinakabahan ako since different schools and universities will be competing for the said competition and I haven't prepared anything. [I] also experience[d] acid reflux before the competition that's why [I] had this thought na magpahinga na lang pero [I] also want to take this opportunity since it's a privilege and for us na student leaders to [witness] and venture something worthy and necessary of our time," she said. She continued by saying that although she was pleased with how her speech went, she was nervous about the occasion and the chilly weather.

Despite her nervousness, Irene was pleased with the outcome and her experience in the event; she had placed third in the aforementioned competition, and even though she would not advance to the next level it was still a great journey for her.

Seven contestants from various institutions competed in the aforementioned event, which Irene opportunely won. Sir Dioni Gante served as the tournament's coach. Participants had a mere seven minutes to prepare and five minutes to present their speeches, with the topic chosen on the fly. It was forbidden for participants to use phones throughout the competition.

Diamonds do not shine; technically, they do not; but this man proves that Rihanna’s opening line in one of her songs could be a real phenomenon in the real world. With so much light coming from his arsenal of achievements that it emanates from his being; this truly defies science.

In the spirited pursuit of excellence, 22-year-old Bonifacio T. Reyes Jr embarked on a riveting journey by entering the illustrious arena of the 2023 Search for Ten Outstanding Kabataang Cauayeños. This prestigious search beckoned the participation of bona fide residents from Cauayan City, extending its embrace to individuals aged between 15 to 30 years old, encompassing both aspiring scholars and budding professionals. Aspiring nominees were required to exhibit sterling moral character, untainted by any brush with the law or disciplinary issues within their local community or academic institutions, while concurrently championing the noble causes outlined in the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.

Our protagonist stands as a paragon of distinction, having traversed the halls of Isabela State University-Cauayan City Campus with a degree in Bachelor of Science in Legal Management. Throughout his tenure within the university's confines, Boni stood tall as a luminary, a recipient of numerous accolades. This included the esteemed titles of Top 1 Campus-Wide Most Outstanding Student Leader and the equally impressive Top 2 University-Wide Most Outstanding Student Leader, just a feather of the myriad adorning his illustrious cap.

With meticulous groundwork and unwavering dedication, navigating through the arduous terrain of producing his bid book and persevering through rigorous face-to-face interviews, he emerged triumphant across every phase of the competition. From the initial nomination stage to the pre-screening process, culminating in the selection of the coveted 20 finalists and, ultimately, the revered cohort of winners, Bonifacio T. Reyes Jr weathered the trials to secure his place among the distinguished Top Ten Outstanding Kabataang Cauayeños.

Gratefully acknowledging the unwavering support of his parents, Boni humbly dedicates this accolade as a simple yet heartfelt token of gratitude for their unwavering love and encouragement. Equally, his alma mater, ISU-Cauayan, basks in his achievement, proudly represented and honored through his commendable success. Speaking fondly of this milestone, he reflects on the profound honor of standing as an ambassador for the institution, bringing back an accolade that resonates as a source of immense pride for the university community.

Imbued with newfound inspiration following his recognition as one of the Ten Outstanding Kabataang Cauayeños, Bonifacio T. Reyes Jr discovered a reservoir of motivation within himself, propelling him toward a greater sense of purpose. “I can create an impact and be an advocate of change through volunteering in various community activities, as well as participating with the mitigating projects,” he fervently expressed.

With the prestigious accolade under his belt, Boni envisions a trajectory for the youth that commences with fostering community development and emphasizing the pivotal role of civic engagement. His impassioned plea resonates deeply as he urges fellow young individuals to partake in the forthcoming year's search, emphasizing, “This recognition extends to every college student and aspiring professional, regardless of your field, as long as you are dedicated to instigating positive change within your community.”

Amidst his triumphs, the beacon of Kabataang Cauayeño excellence articulates a singular message: “Patuloy sana nating mahalin and paglingkuran ang ating Inang Bayan.” This poignant call to action encapsulates Boni's unwavering commitment to uplifting the nation, a resounding echo of his dedication to catalyzing impactful transformation within the community, shining through everyone with his illuminating light, inspiring and enticing others to follow; like moths being drawn into the light.

Jeepneys, often hailed as the 'kings of the road,' stand as one of our country's most cherished treasures and primary modes of transportation. These iconic vehicles have gained popularity among tourists in the Philippines owing to their distinctive and imaginative designs. Additionally, they serve as the most accessible and reasonably priced mode of transport, providing employment opportunities to many. However, today marks another push for the Jeepney Phase-Out, aiming to replace traditional jeepneys with new standards and systems for public transportation. The project, initially planned for 2017, was postponed due to several strikes and budgetary constraints.

According to Rivas (2023), a modern e-jeepney costs as much as ₱2.8 million, whereas the traditional jeepney ranges between ₱150,000 to ₱250,000. Despite this, the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has allocated only ₱160,000. Consequently, less privileged jeepney drivers cannot afford the purchase of a modern jeepney, which far exceeds their income. Moreover, these drivers have familial responsibilities, such as providing for their children's education and supporting their families. The burden of a seven-year debt incurred from buying a modern jeepney is significantly detrimental to drivers whose primary aim is financial stability. Unemployment is already a critical issue in our nation, and the implementation of modern jeepneys could lead to the loss of jobs for many drivers who cannot afford them. For years, driving jeepneys has been their sole source of income.

Furthermore, the Jeepney industry supports numerous small and medium-sized businesses, including food vendors and spare parts sellers, amounting to a multi-billion-dollar business. The shift towards modernization, replacing traditional jeepneys with more advanced transportation systems, raises concerns about negatively impacting the lives of individuals reliant on the jeepney industry. Thousands of long-term employees in various roles, including technicians and drivers, would face unemployment due to this transition (Perlora, 2023). Displacing these established jobs is undeniably unjust. Executing the phase-out of jeepneys without consideration may lead to increased unemployment and poverty among drivers.

While modernizing jeepneys presents the opportunity for reduced pollution and improved efficiency, the cost of purchasing these modern vehicles jeopardizes the drivers' financial stability. Behind this commendable idea lie individuals who will suffer from its consequences. Although the economy stands to benefit, the plight of the less fortunate, who stand to lose their jobs and cannot afford the transition, remains a crucial concern. For many, the jeepney serves as their sole source of income and livelihood.

𝐎𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐎𝐍: 𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟗 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐨
By: Wi***es Winsor G. Gabitan

Just in time for International Journalists’ Day, let me lay this observation of mine as a student journalist: for the past few years of being a student journalist at Isabela State University-Cauayan City Campus, I have observed that student journalists and student publications are disparaged and are only given appreciation if it benefits the self or if people owe them anything.

Recently, during and after the Campus Cultural and Arts Festival and Intramurals, the inundation of demand for student publications such as The Kawayan Communicator, the official student publication of ISU-CCC, and SASBayan, the official student publication of the School of Arts and Sciences (SAS), to provide timely updates was to the roof; it still is, not going to lie. The pressure to update everyone about who the winners are for a particular contested event, which department is on the lead, and what the delegates answered during the question-and-answer portion of the pageant, among many others, could be felt even as an audience behind the screen. As expected, both of the student publications performed well.

However, right after the events were done, students resorted to a page named “Isu Cauayan Ngl” to voice out their sentiments and complaints about their pictures not being uploaded pronto on social media, and most, if not all, of these complaints are targeted toward The Kawayan Communicator. Among other complaints, some read, “Daming nagpipicture tas wala man lang pictures ang athletic track and field,” “Ang daming camera pinag picturan namin tapos kahit isang pic walang n apost,” “Nag pa picture pa kame sa mga CAMERA wala pang lumalabas kahit isa jusqqqq HAHAHA,” or “Ate *insert name of TKC photojournalist*, bakit wala akong pic ni isa sa TKC? Di na tayo bati.” Of course, the complaints that I enumerated are the “kidz-bop” version of it all, as some complaints are upright, insensitive, and inconsiderate of the efforts of student publications on campus to balance being a student, a participant in the events, and a journalist.

This phenomenon is not alien to others, as student publications from other colleges and universities nationwide face the same problem as student publications at ISU-CCC do. People would often look at student publications like what customers would look at photobooths: pose willingly or otherwise for a photo, demand for the photo to be given to them or uploaded on social media for them to share, and leave as is. Worse, others have it worse, as even the higher-ups and administrators would not even thank student publications for working.

Student journalists are more than what people paint them to be. They are not gossips, mere photographers mandated to upload every photo they take for interested people to feast upon, speakers who show their faces on camera for clout, or your source of current medal tallies and funny pictures to make memes out of. The time is now to stop diagnosing student journalists with such maladies if students themselves contribute to the crippling and contaminated soul of journalistic truth. It is a sad thing to witness that students themselves, whom student publications pledge to offer their servitude, are, of all people, the ones who underappreciate them.

I could enumerate the myriad problems that student publications face, but doing so is a Sisyphean task if people stay in their bubble of undervaluing journalism, so laying down journalism problems in the student spectrum is, if you will, the appetizer to the five-course meal. If people continue to look at them that way, the Philippines has a blurred future in store; hence, it is high time we focus on the subject matter at hand as the focal point and appraise journalism as an essential aspect of a functioning society. Let not only the 19th of November be the only memento to the painstakings of journalists, wherever they are located, whoever they serve, and whatever they may be.
