𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗜𝗡: The official page of Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT) has released a statement categorically rejecting the circulating allegations from users Ayaw Pag Buot and ex-broadcaster Jay Sonza about IITians’ involvement in illegal drug use.

These posts, which imply the presence of illegal drug users inside the campus leading to a potential conduct of drug testing, have raised concern and prompted public attention, putting the security and reputation of the students at risk.

“Relying on hearsay not only undermines the efforts of the MSU-IIT administration but also jeopardizes the reputation of MSU-IIT student body and the community it serves,” the post read.

In the same post, the institution has encouraged its constituents to uphold an environment where a culture of responsible sharing of information and understanding can foster.

𝗗𝗜𝗗 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪? You might get a chance to go on a trip to Palawan aboard MSU-IIT’s new boat!

‘𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗪𝗮𝗿’ 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆.

Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT) will be part of the formation of a National Academic Research Fleet (NARFleet), an initiative spearheaded by the University of the Philippines-Marine Science Institute (UP-MSI) in collaboration with other state universities, said to allow the country’s marine scientists to lead expeditions and help develop science-based management of our marine resources.

The NARFleet currently consists of five research vessels dedicated to each of the Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao regions, and one will be co-managed and assigned to MSU-IIT, named F/V 𝘒𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘥, a Meranaw word meaning “Peace.”

After undergoing necessary refurbishment and retrofitting, along with the establishment of the memorandum of agreement (MOA) between institutions, the research boats will be operational in April or May of next year, each carrying around 20 scientists on their voyage, according to Vice Chancellor for Research and Enterprise Prof. Ephrime B. Metillo.

Metillo emphasized that more than 80% of Philippine territory is marine waters. Therefore, the direction of our national development should be investing in how our marine reserves can be sustainably tapped, the generated value of which could settle our total national debt!

As MSU-IIT is poised in becoming a leading force in understanding, harnessing, and protecting the Philippines’ rich marine resources, the NARFleet presents a great opportunity for Engineering and Marine Science students looking for adventure-packed internships and fieldworks. Talk about jet-skiing in the West Philippine sea no longer being a campaign promise!

𝗠𝗦𝗨-𝗜𝗜𝗧, 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗛 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀’ 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘂𝗺 ’𝟮𝟰

“𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘔𝘚𝘜-𝘐𝘐𝘛 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘰 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥,” said Chancellor Ditucalan.

In a groundbreaking move, the Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT), a pioneering member of the Asia Technological University Network (ATU-Net), made history as the first-ever Philippine university to host the Higher Education Leaders’ Forum 2024, gathering academic leaders from across Asia.

Held at the Cheradel Suites Buchorno Banquet Hall on November 4, the forum was participated by the Board of Directors from member institutions of ATU-Net, including university presidents, vice-chancellors, and rectors from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) International, Universitas Brawijaya, Universiti Teknologi Brunei, Phenikaa University, and Institut Teknologi Bandung, to name a few. The event aimed to outline the organization’s vision and mission strategies for the coming years and review ATU-Net’s achievements over the past years.

Aligning with this year’s theme, “𝘕𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘨𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘏𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘌𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘈𝘨𝘦,” Chancellor Alizedney M. Ditucalan emphasized MSU-IIT’s commitment to driving innovation in the higher education sector in his welcoming remarks: “𝘐𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘶𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘥𝘢𝘱𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘦 𝘈𝘐’𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘭𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵.”

The Malaysian Ambassador to the Philippines, His Excellency Dato’ Abdul Malik Melvin Castelino, highlighted the importance of cross-border collaboration in strengthening Southeast Asia’s educational framework. He emphasized that partnerships among ATU-Net member universities enable institutions to share resources, insights, and innovative practices, ultimately enhancing the region’s collective ability to address shared challenges.

Meanwhile, the Executive Director of ATU-Net, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mohd Ariffin bin Abu Hassan, underscored the event’s significance in advancing digital transformation efforts across ATU-Net’s member universities. He noted that the forum provides an ideal platform for collaboration, particularly as the world increasingly embraces digitalization, as recently evidenced by Artificial Intelligence (AI)—a shift that aligns closely with ATU-Net’s mission and vision.

Among the important agenda in the forum were keynote presentations highlighting the transformative potential of digital innovation and AI in education. Prof. Datuk Ir. Ts. Dr. Ahmad Fauzi bin Ismail, Vice-Chancellor of UTM International, urged stakeholders to embrace digital advancements as a driving force for progress in educational institutions. MSU President Atty. Basari D. Mapupuno supplemented the topic with his talk, “AI: Catalyst of Change in the Philippine Higher Education Landscape,” exploring AI’s transformative educational approaches in the Philippines and how it serves as a pivotal change-maker for the nation’s academic institutions.

Moreover, the focus group discussions were moderated by Chancellor Ditucalan to collaboratively address three pressing issues in Philippine higher education. The first group explored “curriculum modernization” through digital tools and innovative teaching methods. The second group addressed the “digital divide and internalization challenges,” proposing solutions for bridging gaps and enhancing global engagement. The third group discussed strategies for supporting staff and student mobility across Asia’s diverse academic landscape.

Reflecting on the significance of this event, Chancellor Ditucalan shared his pride in MSU-IIT being the first Philippine university to host the ATU-Net Forum: “𝘐 𝘥𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘔𝘚𝘜-𝘐𝘐𝘛 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘦. 𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘷𝘪𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘰. 𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘥 𝘰𝘧.”

The Chancellor also jokingly noted that board members had remarked on the challenge of matching the event MSU-IIT had hosted.

The forum concluded with a plenary talk by Ir. Achmad Wicaksono, MEng, PhD, Director of the UB Endowment Fund at Universitas Brawijaya. In his presentation, “Research Enterprise Collaboration Models in the Digital Age: Leveraging Technology for Enhanced Innovation and Global Impact,” he accentuated the essential role of research partnerships in fostering innovation and strengthening global academic influence.

In his closing remarks, MSU-IIT’s Vice Chancellor for International Affairs (OVCIA), Prof. Joey Genevieve T. Martinez, stressed the value of collaborative dialogue in shaping Asia’s higher education future.

The forum showcased the commitment of the region’s top institutions to leveraging digital advancements and cross-border partnerships to redefine education for the digital age. This event further strengthens MSU-IIT’s role in driving digital transformation and fostering global partnerships, embodying its commitment to 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘭𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 and reinforcing Mindanao’s place on the international stage.

𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝘀

𝙒𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜: 𝘽𝙚𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙘𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙣𝙨!

As the Philippine midterm elections approach, the comedy show in our country has just begun. Distinguished audience, welcome to the exhibition of… err—showbiz politics and celebrities-gone-filing-for-office? Introducing the comical divas of the 2025 Philippine Midterm Elections. Let us all be entertained as they present us with… 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨.

Top on the trend are the various personalities running for office, filing Certificates of Candidacy (COCs) while proudly presenting their questionable potentials and backgrounds you’ll probably not appreciate, yet again adding to the national history list of political dynasties and bored people knowing nothing about the dynamics of public service. As of the last day of filing, October 8, the listed number of celebrities and social media personalities has climbed to 100 for the upcoming local and national elections.

The qualification of candidates alone isn’t a huge question. Legally speaking, the 1987 Philippine Constitution recognizes anyone to run for public office whose age, residency, citizenship, and literacy meet the required measure. While this anchors a democratic principle of favoring a broad range of individuals to participate in the political process, the concern lies beneath the fact that electorates may only vote for them based on their names rather than their capabilities.

𝗜𝗱𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀

“𝘕𝘢𝘺, 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘰 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘣𝘰𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘰?”
“𝘐𝘣𝘰𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘰 𝘬𝘰 𝘴𝘪 *𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘵* 𝘬𝘢𝘴𝘪 𝘪𝘥𝘰𝘭 𝘬𝘰 𝘴𝘪𝘺𝘢!”

Credentials are ignored, yet popularity is recognized. Welcome to the Philippines, where followers matter but never competence. The 𝘭𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘰𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘴—the action stars Lito Lapid, Phillip Salvador, B**g Revilla, and company—still continue to gain support from the 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘢, largely because of their popularity.

Candidacy is nothing without long lists of platforms. However, the other way comes around. The sudden entrance of veteran TV host and actor Willie Revillame surprised the nation as he arrived empty-handed. In his interview with Gretchen Ho, Revillame admits that his top agenda is simply how to win a seat in the senate. “‘Pag nanalo na ako, doon ko na iisipin lahat ‘yan,” he said.

Moving on, this might sound like a poorly-made joke but Pastor Apollo Quiboloy—yeah, the one who’s facing charges of s*x trafficking and fraud in the United States (US), as well as child abuse and human trafficking cases in the Philippines—is running for office. Currently held in the Pasig City jail, the doomsday preacher had his lawyer file his COC, framing his campaign as “God-centered” and “Philippines-centered”—a blatant disconnect between his professed values and his actions.

Lastly, let’s never forget the legendary tattoo-covered old gal. Rolando Plaza, also known as 𝘙𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘯, became a senatorial icon in 2019 for all the wrong reasons. Declaring himself as “half-human, half-zombie,” he is once again vying for a seat in congress, bearing his agenda of advocating 𝘦-𝘴𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘯𝘨—implying this as the tradition of the Filipino people.

In this very chaotic country, doomed with societal issues, candidates still prioritize dummy platforms, disregarding the fact that education, healthcare, and the economic well-being of ordinary people are in peril. Now we know: if you want to win in politics, start vlogging, become a trend, make people familiar with you, and then boom… newly elected officials of 𝘣𝘭𝘢𝘩 𝘣𝘭𝘢𝘩 𝘣𝘭𝘢𝘩.

𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀’ 𝗟𝗼𝘂𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗜𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘆
In the country, the irony couldn’t be more glaring: Filipinos often face tougher requirements to secure regular jobs than to run for public office.

In a nation where job offers ask for astounding qualifications, is leading the country 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 easy, to only ask for a grade-school level of competence? It’s akin to putting an untrained driver behind the wheel of a bus filled with highly capable passengers—a recipe for disaster.

But ironic as it is, it takes two to tango. Election after election, we face tooth and nail for a spot at a top university, burn brows, graduate with flying colors, and pass rigorous exams. In stark contrast, to run for public office—whether as mayor, governor, or even president—one only needs to meet basic criteria such as age, residency, and the problem of the insurmountable support of the 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘢 for their idols entering the political arena. Yet history has shown us that good looks don’t equate to good leadership. It’s high time that we begin considering our culture of voting in the country—our idolism.

Funny how these individuals make politics a joke. Qualifications? Easy peasy. You could file your COC in just a minute, while an ordinary job seeks a long list of requirements before being accepted. No educational attainment? Still qualified. Knowing nothing about the dynamics of legislating laws? Qualified. That wasn’t even asked. Talking about platforms? Even a grade schooler running for Supreme Pupil Government could list a variety of platforms—and that doesn’t even matter. Alarming right? Why would we even let the dumbfounded captain steer the ship when he knows nothing about navigating the system.

𝗘𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗹𝗲

𝘗𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦, 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭.

It is often justified that the bare minimum requirements reflect the democracy the country 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘩𝘰𝘸 upholds. Yet, with history infallibly repeating itself, this lax standard only leads to underqualified people reserving seats based on popularity alone. Is it still worth putting public affairs at risk just to give everyone a chance? Because as long as the bar stays stagnant, many can easily turn their fans and followers into voters.

This is no longer a talk about inclusivity, this is an opportunity for freedom from poor leadership. It is time for us to stop being the chuckling audience as these new brands of clowns turn the country into a laughingstock 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯.

𝘈𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘭𝘭…

This circus politics of our country will never end if we, the electorates, keep being entertained by clowns—poisoned by their charisma and popularity, believing every spit of word as a silver lining to escape the heavy burden of societal dilemmas.

Known as 𝘈𝘳𝘢𝘸 𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘗𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘺, this day beckons us to the resting place of our departed loved ones; gravestones are adorned with candles and flowers, surrounded by quiet whispers in which memories are endearingly shared through stories. While these customs transcend this world and connect us to those who have faithfully departed, may we not forget to bask in the warmth of quiet moments of reflection shared with the people we celebrate this day with.

Have a deep and meaningful All Souls’ Day, IITians!

From the rhythmic beats of the Moro’s Kulintang to the intricate Bali-og jewelry of the Lumads, the cultural richness is woven into everyday experiences.

This October, as we celebrate National Indigenous Peoples’ Month (NIPM), let us walk through the hallowed halls of the campus and captivate ourselves in the diverse cultures of our fellow IITians.

𝗜𝗣𝗮𝗴𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗸𝗶, 𝗜𝗣𝗮𝗴𝗱𝗶𝘄𝗮𝗻𝗴: 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗰𝘆 The Philippines is a tapestry of rich culture and tradition, with Mindanao at its heart. Home to diverse ethnic groups, each contributing unique customs and a range of artistry, this region pulses with life. From the rhythmic beats of the Moro’s Kulintang to the intricate Bali-og jewelry of the Lumads, the cultural richness is woven into everyday experiences. This October, as we celebrate National Indigenous Peoples’ Month (NIPM), let us walk through the hallowed halls of the campus and captivate ourselves in the diverse cultures of our fellow IITians. Silahis walks around the campus to check in on the Indigenous Peoples (IPs) and see if Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT) is actually the inclusive institute they pride themselves in.

Perhaps some sort of completion—a win in the realms of student journalism, stories of setbacks and nonlinear redemption, a little something for the food connoisseurs, celebrations of firsts with the assurance that they would not be the last, or the unfortunate circumstances of opportunity starvation. Read about all that and more in the upcoming Silahis Issue Release, the first for the Academic Year.

However, offering a paw of encouragement to our peers could help us stay motivated. This mutual support lightens the burden, making these long, exhausting weeks bearable. Listen to some IITians as they talk about their well-being and share some of their life-saving lessons that may or may not work for you. In the midst of review papers, we want you to pause and remember the 22nd night of September with calmness and grace.
