Press freedom teeters on the edge of crisis as the archipelago grows increasingly perilous for journalistsโsilenced, maltreated, and oppressed. These dangers, like knives at their throats, gravely restrict the delivery of truth.
On this day, we stand with the vanguards of truth in observance of National Press Freedom Day. Yet, beyond this day of recognition, we must never forget the relentless struggles the press continues to endure. We must rally to defend these indispensable voices, whose role is crucial in the pursuit of justice and enlightenment. With their unwavering courage, the voices of the people will continue to resonate and never be silenced.

๐๐๐๐ง๐จ๐ฅ๐ | They say bad music brings rain, but yesterday at Mindanao State University - Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT), the downpour seemed to be out of joy. Even the sky appeared entertained by IPAGโs day three performance, โPanag-uyonโ, held on August 29, 2024, along the old SET building hallway. This was part of the week-long event 'IPAG in the Frames: An Exhibit,' marking the 47th Theater Season of the Integrated Performing Arts Guild (IPAG).
Panag-uyon highlighted traditional musical forms like "Kalilang" and "Madal Tahaw" through spectacular performances that enthralled the audience throughout. The precision with which each piece was performed demonstrated the performers' expertise and dedication to their craft. A dynamic and immersive atmosphere was created as the music filled the hallway, bringing people into the chorus of a transcending art. Though modest in size, the hall deepened the experience, amplifying the music's full depth and resonance.

๐๐๐๐ง๐จ๐ฅ๐ | One of the most striking aspects of a performance is the layer of stories that wreathe its delivery, each unfolding in unexpected ways. This variety extended not only to the themes but also to the spaces where the art came alive. On August 28, Wednesday, the second day of IPAG's 47th Theater Season, the audience was treated to a bold, immersive experience that transformed an ordinary hallway into a living, breathing stage. Held in the SET Hallway at Mindanao State University - Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT), the performance defied expectations, drawing the crowd into a world where the boundaries of the theater were redefined. The walls of the hallway became part of the story, leaving the audience eager to see what would happen next.
Several actors opened the play, captivating even those unfamiliar with performance art. Each emotion, gesture, and word was a work of art as they seamlessly picked up on each otherโs cues, leaving the audience to expect the unexpected. The playโs twists and turns surprised both the audience and the performers, who wove their roles together without a script to them.

๐๐๐๐ง๐จ๐ฅ๐ | Art is often seen as something confined within framesโvisuals hung on walls, performances staged within a set space. But on the opening night of their 47th Theater Season, the MSU-IIT Integrated Performing Arts Guild (IPAG) shattered these boundaries with their immersive performance, โKamulo.โ Held on August 27, 2024, in the SET Hallway, the evening wasnโt just about performing within framesโit was about breaking free from them. As the rain poured down outside, IPAGโs artists stepped beyond the conventional limits of their craft, reframing the way we experience art.
The night proved that even rain couldnโt dampen the spirit of IPAGโs performers or their commitment to artistic innovation. The collaborative nature of the performance, along with the guildโs dedication to pushing boundaries, was on full display. โKamuloโ was more than just a season openerโit marked the beginning of a bold journey in reframing not only their art but also the way audiences experience it.
Continuing through its 47th Theater Season, IPAGโs upcoming performances will delve deeper into this process of reframing through dialogues, music, and cultural vignettes. The performers didnโt merely entertain; they redefined what it means to perform by embracing risks, collaborating across disciplines, and welcoming unpredictability. Moving forward, each performance will serve as an invitation to see the world anewโproof that when art is reframed, it has the power to transcend boundaries and leave a lasting impact that resonates far beyond the final bow.

As students of the College of Arts and Social Sciences (CASS), we are primed and oriented in the front seat of social issues and the plight of living in a rapidly evolving society. As subjects of abject knowledge-passing, it is an imperative that we materialize learnings into the values concrete in our lives: it is with this purpose in mind that the Editorial Department of CASSayuran conducts this year's Opinion Poll for the CASS Executive Council Candidates to guage how they manifest these values as aspirants for the positions. As they aim to lead our community, may this initiative provide the foundation from which they will ground their leadership in the months ahead.
As the exercise of our right to vote lie imminent, with the election commencing tomorrow, we must first assess who we are voting for. Know more about our candidates' stand on issues that concern the college, university, and beyond.

Today, on National Heroes Day, we remember not just the names etched in our history books, but the countless acts of bravery, sacrifice, and love that have guided our nation through its darkest hours. These heroes, both celebrated and unsung, sacrificed their lives not for recognition, but for the freedom and future of the next generations. Our brave heroes have devoted their energies to stand in the frontlines, sheathing their minds and swords to challenge the oppressors and set our lands free. Their acts of valor were driven by a deep and unwavering commitment to the dignity and worth of the Filipino people.
In honoring their sacrifices, we are reminded that the spirit of heroism lives on within each of us. It is our commitment to truth, justice, and the betterment of our society that gives our heroesโ deeds purpose and meaning. As we face the challenges of our time, let us draw strength from their example and strive to live up to the ideals they fought for. Today, we are called not just to remember, but to carry their legacy forward with pride and responsibility. May we continue to build a nation that reflects the values our heroes upheld, and may their sacrifices inspire us to shape a thriving future for the Philippines. Let us all remember that in every step we take forward, we walk alongside the heroes who shaped our nationโs path.

๐ก๐๐ช๐ฆ ๐๐๐๐ง๐จ๐ฅ๐ | Makibahagi. Makibaka. Maki-anek.
Warming the path to a better world with sparks of well-intentioned passion, the MSU-IIT Youth Chain of Peace (MYCOP) has blazed the trail for Mindanaoan youth-led organizations as one the honorees for the 21st Ten Accomplished Youth Organizations (TAYO) Awards โ National Awarding Ceremony held on August 19, 2024 at the Manila Metropolitan Theatre.
With Project PLAY+ (Peace Leadership Academy for the Youth), MYCOP is breaking cycles one at a time by forefronting the act of play as an act of peacebuilding, comprehensively integrating peace concepts into games, borne out of the well-heard conflict lines among Mindanaoan youth who aspires for a better, and more peaceful Mindanao. The project implores youth leaders to participate in activities articulated in modules like โTransforming Organizational Conflictsโ and a work in progress named โTransitional Justice: Dealing with the Past, Healing, and Reconciliation,โ capacitating them on the competencies of being a peace leader.
โIn a community laden with diversity, peace is our goal, play is our common ground.โ
โ MYCOP for Project PLAY+
โMakibahagi. Makibaka. Maki-anek sa mga gawain natin dito sa Mindanao and the peace process here,โ Gelogo urges everyone to be part of MYCOPโs effort. He clarifies that they are not solving the peace process in the community because it is not their job, but they do their best to do something meaningful that comes from the volition of doing good, which does not have to be grand. MYCOPโs development, in partnership with TAYO, will pursue a new chapter to leverage what they can do in Iligan and other areas like the Municipality of Nunungan, which they believe best needs their help, among many spaces they aim to pe*****te like Lanao del Norte and even BARMM.
In the spirit of their earnest gamble for a distant utopia of peace, MYCOPโs commitment perseveres as they walk greater lengths, carrying concrete values despite their tender age. It is efforts like these that spark the glimmer of hope towards nation-building that knows no age nor accolades; the flattery of a trophy, as young protรฉgรฉs of community work, have never veered the direction of their feet whose steps lead to bigger paths for a better future.

It has been 41 years since the martyrdom of Senator Benigno โNinoyโ Aquino Jr., who stood as one of the shining beacons in the fight against dictatorship. In his life, he held his principles in an iron gripโ refusing to settle with tyrants, yet still advocated for a non-violent resolution. With his body, he carved out a symbol of resistance while in captivity. In death, his unmodified cadaver laid as an unrepenting reminder to Filipinos of not only his tragedy, but also his unyielding drive to witness his countryโs liberation.
Even well past forty years, Senator Benigno โNinoyโ Aquino Jr. still is upheld as a leading figure against tyranny. While he may not have seen the culmination of his work, his influence on recent political movements is undeniable. As the Filipinos now face our own battles against injustice, oppression, and corruption, may we always remember his spirit and characterโ for we all struggle and must fight as one.

๐๐๐๐ง๐จ๐ฅ๐ | The College of Arts and Social Sciences (CASS) is reveling in the recent success of two students who recently captured spotlights in major pageants. Political Science Society's Crystal Mae Domocol is the new Miss Kiwalan 2024. Meanwhile, Sherrilyn Villanueva from the Literature, Language, and Culture Society is Miss Acmac Charity 2024. Their victories on August 13 and 14, 2024, showcased the caliber of talents that thrive within CASS.
Crystal Mae Domocol achieved a long-held ambition by competing to become Miss Kiwalan 2024. This dream was driven by a desire to inspire others and represent her community, but she was always hindered by self-doubt. Allowing her reservations to get in the way held her back from fully committing to pageants. But there was something different about this year. She was prepared to face her fears, as she thought this was her time. With those around her, Crystal bravely gave herself over to the exhilaration. "With courage and determination, even the most daunting dreams can be realized," she adds, reflecting on her experience.
On the other hand, Sherrilyn Villanueva's drive to become Miss Acmac Charity 2024 was motivated by a clear sense of purpose. Sherrilyn was no stranger to the spotlight, having placed second runner-up in the Miss Acmac pageant in 2022. However, her ambition for a title was not the only reason she entered the pageant. Sherrilyn was driven by a deep desire to uplift her community, especially to the impoverished children and youths living in her remote purok. "My participation in the pageant is inspired by this goal of serving my community and making a positive impact," she explains.

Organized by the Kataastaasang Sangunian ng mga Mag-aaral (KASAMA) under the theme, "The Cat Returns", this pounce of cats in the gymnasium is straight from a magical Ghibli movie, paired with the convergence of clothing styles from several categories like cottagecore, laid back, campus vibes and being extra. Seasoned with a hint of fun activities, enough to rile up the energy and bring out the heat for the rest of the night.
This has become more than just an annual event and tradition for the students themselves. Moonlit nights like these have never felt so special, as they resonate with the youth, the freedom, and the feeling of being alive amidst the rat race of college life. What a feeling indeed, for the cats to return and until the next time, remain once more.
