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.

Faculty, student leaders, and students from their respective groups paraded the campus with festivity, followed by SAS Dean Paul Angelo Tamayo with his opening remarks, emphasizing the significance of the first-ever fest' since the separation of Criminology from SAS.

Various groups, named after local mythological beings, then showed their competitive spirit with yells representing their groups.

The celebration then continued with the SAS Got Talent, showcasing the artistic and musical talents of the students, and ended with a game of bingo and raffle draw, which gifted cash prizes, grocery packages, and sacks of rice to the lucky winners.

Musical talents from SAS added symphony to the event as it went, performing OPM and hit songs to amp up the excitement.

A moment to remember, SAS vanguards—SAS, malakas!
