Viva Pit Senyor, Josenians!
This year, we come back brighter and bolder as we celebrate the biggest festival of the Queen City of the South, Sinulog 2025!
Watch as Josenians beam earnestly with their “sangpit” to Señor Santo Niño, a tradition that has been cherished for generations.

Welcome back, Josenians!
The second semester is taking its speedy approach with new subjects and academic tasks to work on.
There is no doubt that the strength and resilience we have as Jaguars will help us overcome the challenges ahead. With this fiery start to the second semester, we asked the Josenians:
“If you could instantly become an expert in any subject, what would it be and why?”

Josenians! Humana na gyud!
Bright smiles and cheers surrounded the Recoletos Coliseum as the University of San Jose-Recoletos (USJ-R) wrapped up its 116th Commencement Exercises on Saturday, January 11.
To ponder on this major milestone, we asked the graduates of the first semester of the Academic Year 2024-2025 with the question:
“What advice would you give your past self prior to entering college?”

Step right up, Josenians!
The show has barely started for our audience in this show of life.
In this ever-comical society, we are faced with a mirage of doubts and questions that we must answer for ourselves.
As we turn up the spotlight, we asked theme park spectators: What is a belief you once held to be true, but turned out to be an illusion?

When serious societal problems are reduced to mere entertainment, and leadership becomes a spectacle, who pays the price?
Let’s hear it straight from Erica Anne Bolo, a second-year BS Management Accounting student, on her story of how this #Circustate trivializes the lived experiences of those directly affected, transforming urgent calls for change into fleeting trends.

Are you ready to face the spectacle that will haunt your realities and awaken your deepest suppositions?
Step right up and embrace the thrill of the #Circustate—where the strange is celebrated, and the line between reality and nightmare blurs.
The curtain is rising. Dare to look closer—if you can handle the chill of the thrill.

The most wonderful time of the year is fast approaching!
Christmas is a magical time when we come together to celebrate the spirit of the thanksgiving season, when the world feels a little brighter, hearts grow a little warmer, and kindness flows freely.
It reminds us of the beauty in giving without expecting, loving without limits, and cherishing the magic of togetherness.
With this, we asked the Josenians to fill in the blank, “All I want for Christmas is _.”

FORWARD Publications recently wrapped up the FORWARD Days 2024 with the theme ”Ichi-go Ichi-e: One Time, One Meeting.”
As wondersome it may be to fantasize about the future, as it is grounding to remember the past, it is important to live by the present time.
While moments continue to be fleeting, we asked Josenians: What are the little things in life that you rarely have time to appreciate?

One time, one meeting. In this moment, an opportunity.
The beauty of the mundane is often overlooked and easily forgotten. The ride on the way home, the strangers we meet on the bus, the soft smiles shared after an exhausting morning run—these are treasures hidden beneath the ordinary.
But each passing moment, with every deep breath, becomes extraordinary when cherished the right way.
This #FORWARDDays2024, let us embrace life’s fleeting moments that transcend eternity.

This October 5, we commemorate World Teacher’s Day. Through the students’ challenges and triumphs, these figures have been aiding us with their passion and patience in teaching.
With that, we asked the University of San Jose-Recoletos (USJ-R) professors: What is the best and worst thing about being a teacher?
