𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊 || As the Journalism Skills Training moved into its afternoon session, Ms. Rosita Morales, the former Editor-in-Chief of the Pillar (2018 - 2019), led the discussion that centers on campus paper management and editorial writing.

The session offered an in-depth definition of a student publication, foregrounding its structure and its operation within the university. The speaker proceeds to expand that publications deliver service not to the administration but rather to the student body, ultimately, the Filipino people.

She continued by discussing the process and styles in writing editorial pieces and reminded the students journalists regarding who they are writing for.

Ms. Morales also entertained questions regarding the said topic and left the participants with knowledge that can aid in the success of their respective publications. ¶

They called for an urgent response from the UEP administration regarding the lack of support for student publications.

Docil reaffirmed the call to cease the attacks against student journalists as censorship remains pervasive in the university. This is attested through intimidations, negative reactions and the insistence of post removal. However, The Pillar firmly stands in its commitment to serve the students.

Meanwhile, Acebuche stood firm in his message and as he highlighted the struggles within their publication and urged the administration for better support to improve the daily operations of their publication.

Sama-sama sa pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wikang Pambansa, ang Samahan ng mga Nagpapakadalubhasa sa Filipino (SNF) at ang mga mag-aaral sa iba't ibang college departments, kahapon, Agosto 30, 2024, sa Centennial Hall.

Mula ika-27 hanggang ika-30 ng Agosto ay idinaos ang mga paligsahan at programa ng SNF na may temang “Filipino: Wikang Mapagpalaya” na binubuo ng: pagsulat ng tula at sanaysay, paggawa ng poster slogan, tagisan ng Talino, talumpati, spoken poetry, pag-awit, at Lakan at Lakambini.

“Hindi naging madali ang pinagdaanan natin para lamang matuloy ang pagdiriwang na ito,” aniya ni Jodi Marielet Eufracio, pangulo ng Samahan ng mga Nagpapakadalubhasa sa Filipino (SNF), sa kanyang pambungad na pananalita.

“Yung pagpapaalam para makagamit nitong gusali, napayagan naman pero kailangang maya’t maya ka magkukulit kasi minsan hating–gabi 'yong pagpayag o kaya madaling araw o kaya kung kalian araw na,” ika ni Prof. Josephine Patilan, tagapamuno ng SNF nang tanungin ukol sa karanasan sa paghahanda para sa programa.

Dagdag pa niya, kinailangan pang mag-ambagan ng mga estudyant dahil sa kakulangan ng pondo.

Wika naman ni Ace Demonteverde, kalihim ng SNF, “An time amon kalaban kase naghulat kami kun approved or dire pa [an letter]…an amon kalahok naghulat sa announcement kun ma-go ba sadi na date tapos an mga gamit liwat na pan-design an amon challenges talaga."

Sa pagtatapos ng programa, nagpahayag naman sa kanyang pangwakas na mensahe si binibining Margie Vicario, isa sa mga tagapayo ng SNF, ng pasasalamat sa buong kalahok para sa matagumpay na pagdiriwang sa pagtatapos ng Buwan ng Wikang Pambansa.¶

As the new academic year begins, UEPians continue to face the same persistent issues within the university—slow admission processes, convoluted enrollment procedures, inadequate school facilities, and a declining quality of education. In such circumstances, it is crucial for UEPians to have their experiences amplified and to become more informed about the underlying issues plaguing the institution.

This is why the new Editorial Board and Staff of The Pillar will remain committed to fighting for the rights of every student in the university.

The Pillar shall exercise its full autonomy despite the absence of the technical adviser. It will never hamper the operations of the publication. It will never be threatened and will continue to expose institutional failures and hold those in power accountable.

The Pillar will continue to share narratives of students forever upholding its tenets—Critical, Fearless, and Unapologetic. ¶

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐀𝐑’𝐒 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐎𝐍 𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐃𝐎𝐌 𝐃𝐀𝐘

The absence of genuine freedom of the press is equivalent to jeopardizing our fundamental rights as human beings. Hence, a free press should mean a freer country that manifests a liberating and progressive society.

As we celebrate National Press Freedom Day, The Pillar, the official student publication of the University of Eastern Philippines (UEP), expresses its solidarity with the journalists and student-journalists in the country, especially in the fight against the intensifying attacks and utter repression of the press.

August 30, 2024, not only serves as a constant reminder to the government and the administration for their commitment to press freedom but also to appreciate the contributions of our society’s truthtellers in their service to the masses.

However, despite this annual celebration, different attacks in the form of intimidation, censorship, and repression are still rampant today, from the national publications down to the campus publications. Despite this, the administration covers their disregard for press freedom in a façade of their false promises.

Even the campus publications were subjected to control, creating an inauthentic autonomy, and are done through different means: partial to full censorship, controlling the funds, and repressive constitutions and by-laws.

One recent issue in UEP was in the form of censorship, where The Pillar was being forced to take down a published article. It was done through an injunction where the targeted post was a significant report for the last University Student Council (USC) elections. No post was taken down, and the publication stood firm and true to their report with the help of a unity statement from the College Editor’s Guild of the Philippines (CEGP).

Another issue that greatly hinders the student publications is the administration’s control and repression of their funds. After Republic Act No. 10931, or “Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act,” was passed, the publications’ funding was subjected to the bureaucratic process that consumed a lot of time and resources.

In the case of The Pillar, the Board of Reagents (BOR) determines the appropriate amount of funding, not the university or student subscriptions. This results in the absence of funding for press work and coverage, as well as the lack of equipment and materials to hinder the operations of the publication.

Abuse of power was also utilized to control publications like An Lantawan, the official student publication of Leyte Normal University (LNU), where the publication was forced to undergo an accreditation process to suppress the publication. However, this was addressed with the help of a unified stand with other publications along with the CEGP that brought the issue to the forefront.

Another form of control was inside the constitution and by-laws of the publication, Fulcrum, the official student publication of Palompon Institute of Technology (PIT), where a provision hinders them from publishing articles without an adviser. In this is a similar situation in UEP, where The Pillar will not be able to conduct events and training as well as request funding and a stipend grant due to the recent resignation of their technical adviser.

This is different, however, in terms of publishing articles, where they can still publish articles in the absence of a technical adviser. This shows that the autonomy of the student publications is partial in some cases—false, and that difference between the journalists and the administration only sets them further apart.

Journalism is a hard field to pursue, especially in the Philippines, where the administration has a bloody history of violence and control over the press. Regardless, journalists and student journalists alike are dedicated to continuously working in the grassroots as a form of resistance. It is the final stand of true democracy and exercise of freedom.

The Pillar condemns all the attacks to the freedom of the press, the journalists, and their supporters. In the very least, the administration should be the one to protect, not nullify its power.

The Pillar also stands for genuine truth and justice, for the role of the journalists and the publications is assumed from the moment they start to write—for it is the moment they chose to serve.

As long as The Pillar stands, it will continue to serve the student body, forever embodying its tenets in achieving its goal: Critical, Fearless, and Unapologetic. ¶

The 2024 qualifiers, along with the incumbent members of The Pillar, gathered together for the Qualifier's Orientation, at the Graduate Studies Building, today, August 29, 2024.

Members of the Editorial Board oriented the qualifiers with the publication's editorial policies and by-laws, obligations and challenges student journalists may face, and ways how one can be an efficient campus journalist.

One of the hallmarks of the orientation is the much-anticipated output assessment by the respective section heads on the outputs crafted by the qualifiers during their qualifying exam. Through this, qualifiers gained insights on how their outputs had been evaluated and checked throughout the qualifying process.

The insightful day concluded with a closing address from The Pillar’s current Editor-in-Chief, Trisha Mae Docil, emphasizing the upcoming 3rd Pagsubay: Journalism Skills Training, which will take place on September 2-4, 2024. ¶

𝐒𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐥𝐮𝐥𝐮𝐩𝐢𝐠 '𝐝𝐢 𝐤𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐢𝐥!

Isang pangakong binitiwan ng ating mga bayani na hanggang ngayon ay nananatiling buhay sa puso ng bawat Pilipino. Ngayong araw, ginugunita natin ang katapangan ng ating mga bayani noong panahon ng himagsikan. Panahon din ito para muling pukawin ang katotohanan na ang laban para sa kasarinlan ay hindi pa tapos.

Sa kasalukuyan, may mga bagong uri ng panlulupig—hindi lang mula sa mga dayuhan kundi mula sa mga mga miyembro ng sistemang baluktot na tila nililimot ang kapakanan ng sarili nilang mga mamamayan. Inuuna ang personal na mga layunin kesa sa gampanin bilang tagapagpangalaga sa bawat karapatan at kabuhayan ng kanilang nasasakupan. Lubhang naaapektuhan ang bawat manggagawang Pilipino, na bumabalikat sa ating ekonomiya at patuloy na nagtitiis sa mababang pasahod, hindi ligtas na kalagayan sa trabaho, at kawalan ng karapatan sa disenteng buhay.

Sa araw na ito, hindi lamang natin sila dapat alalahanin, kundi dapat din tayong magising sa katotohanang na hangga't may mapang-aping kawani ng gobyerno, hindi matatapos ang laban para sa mas matiwasay at maunlad na Perlas ng Silanganan. ¶

"Tara Bebet, may kurso ka na?" my mother asked, weariness etched on her face from the day's work of selling banana cue and palamig at the nearby elementary school.

“Nay, ayaw kabaraka. Ma-update nala kuno sira,” I replied, trying to sound reassuring.

I didn't make it. Despite how much I love my mother, I had to lie. The last thing that my mother needed was disappointing news from her favored child.

My name was not on the qualified list for my dream program. I felt like a failure.

The world seemed to stop turning. Panic started to creep until the moment came that I burst into tears, blaming myself for not having done enough.

My friends and I went back to the college to ask for reconsideration. However, the list was already finalized, there were no more slots, and our applications had been moved to the next priority course we had listed.

“Dire pa ngani natikang an klase, sa pamasahe pala, ubos na an kwarta,” my friend said heavily in exhaustion after walking around the university.

I could not agree more. This was our dream—our driving fuel. Yes, we would be given an opportunity for education. But our hearts would always yearn for our truest ambitions.

While walking around the academic lane, I noticed a familiar face in the crowd of students. A face that had matured, yet its features still reminded me of who she was.

“Janna! ”I shouted, my face lighting up with a caring expression, thrilled to see my childhood friend again.

I excitedly conversed with her, eager to catch up on how her life had progressed over the years. Seeing her brought back a rush of memories as we reminisced and exchanged stories about our current lives.

“Kahapon la ngani kami nag-asikaso san amon requirements, haha,” she shared. I was taken aback, standing in awe of what she said. Those exact words were what I wished I could have told my mother without lying. Yet, my brows furrowed in confusion as I asked her how she managed to get in since the college had already done shortlisting the qualified applicants.

“Aram mo na, kay dide na-trabaho si Papa. Kaya nga kami naglipat sadto, para harani kami sa iya trabaho,” she said. Yet, I was still unsure of what she meant. Coming from a town miles away from the university, some things were unfamiliar to me—like the schemes behind such matters.

I gave a slight laugh, uncertain of how to respond. I then looked her directly in the eyes, as if questioning every inch of her soul, and asked for clarification.

“Connectionsss beshh,” she said with her eyes rolling in sarcasm, drawing out the 's' sound provocatively.

Connections? That single word pierced my soul. In a university fully funded by the national government to guarantee every Filipino student free access to tertiary education, connections matter most.

I went home that day feeling defeated just by that single word. I felt cheated. The endless going back and forth, complying with the requirements, and enduring the rigorous qualifying processes—only to not make it. Then, someone else bypassed all that simply due to connections—a luxury people like me might never have. Reality is indeed harsh, especially for the less fortunate.

Two days passed since that conversation, but it still lingered in my mind. While my mother braved the heat for our family’s betterment and as I tried my best to fit into the system’s standards, it was all for nothing. It was a battle we had lost before it even began—injured, stepped on, and trampled.

A week passed, and my friends and I received a text message that we had qualified for a different program. Honestly, we weren't even sure anymore how to categorize this news—was it good or somewhere in between?

“Hello, Ms. Cabahug. We would like to inform you that you have qualified...” the text message read. I would move mountains and cross seas to hear if only they meant I had qualified for my dream program. But bitterly, they did not.

After all, being able to pursue my studies—thanks to Nanay’s labor of love and the countless trays of banana cues and palamig she sold—meant more to me than regretting each night that I was led away from my dream program because of a bitter truth I wish never existed in the first place. ¶

Sa isang pagdinig sa Senado noong Agosto 15 tungkol sa mga polisiya ng TV networks sa paghawak ng mga kaso ng pang-aabusong s*xual, napunta ang atensyon ng publiko kay Sen. Robin Padilla dahil sa kaniyang mga pahayag tungkol sa marital s*x.

"Hindi mo maiaalis sa mag-asawa na ang paniwala—lalo kami, ako—meron kang s*xual rights sa asawa mo. So halimbawa, hindi mo naman pinipili kung kailan ka in heat. Paano 'yun kung ayaw ng asawa mo? Walang ibang paraan talaga para ma-ano yung lalaki? So paano 'yun, mambababae ka na lang ba? Eh 'di kaso na naman 'yun," wika ni Padilla sa gitna ng pagdinig.

Hindi nagpatumpik-tumpik ang progresibong grupong Gabriela at kinondena ang mga pahayag ni Padilla, na ayon sa kanila ay nagpapatibay sa "machismo" at nagpapakita ng "blatant disregard for women’s autonomy and rights."

Ayon pa kay Clarice Palce, ang Secretary General ng Gabriela, "A woman's right to say 'no' is fundamental and absolute, regardless of marital status."

Sa kabila ng kanyang mga naging pahayag, kalaunan ay humingi ng paumanhin si Padilla, partikular sa mga hindi nagustuhan ang kaniyang mga sinabi sa naturang pagdinig.

"Sa mga na-offend o hindi nagustuhan ang aming pagdinig tungkol sa marital r**e… Mga kababayan, paumanhin po," ani Padilla.

Pinaninindigan rin ni Padilla na tinawag niyang "s*xual rights" ito dahil, ayon sa kanya, malinaw na nakasaad sa Bibliya na ang babae ay dapat magpasakop sa lalaki.

Gayunpaman, malinaw na ibinunyag ng insidenteng ito ang kahalagahan ng usapin tungkol sa mutual respect at consent sa isang relasyon, kahit pa anong relihiyon nila at lalo na pagdating sa mga sekswal na aktibidad. Ang kawalan ng pahintulot ay maaaring magbunga ng mga seryosong isyu tulad ng marital r**e.

Today, we honor a man whose legacy goes beyond his tragic death on an airport tarmac—a journalist, senator, father, and most importantly, a hero who gave his life fighting for national democracy: Ninoy Aquino Jr.

Recently, however, President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. moved Ninoy Aquino Day from August 21 to August 23, prompting backlash from pro-Ninoy supporters like Rep. Edcel Lagman. Lagman called the change illegal, citing a six-month notice requirement for rescheduling holidays. The move, intended to boost tourism with a long weekend, was criticized by Lagman, who argued, “No holiday economics or domestic tourism boost can hold a candle to Ninoy’s heroism.”

Ninoy Aquino’s assassination on August 21, 1983, ignited a nationwide movement against the Marcos regime, transforming a small opposition into a national crusade. Elected to the Senate at 35, Ninoy boldly opposed President Marcos Sr., condemning human rights abuses and government militarization. Even after his arrest under Martial Law, Ninoy remained defiant, organizing the opposition, setting up an intelligence network, and inspiring protests from prison. In honor of his bravery and contributions, August 21 was declared a non-working holiday—the day he returned to the nation he dearly loved.

Nevertheless, this move will not diminish the significance of this day. With or without a proclamation, let us celebrate the life of Ninoy Aquino Jr., whose selfless courage inspired a nation to fight for freedom. After all, in the words of Ninoy before the Asia Society in New York, “The Filipino is worth dying for.” ¶

UEPians, A long weekend is coming your way!

Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin, by authority of the President, signed Proclamation No. 665, Series 2024, moving the commemoration of Ninoy Aquino Day from August 21, Wednesday, to August 23, Friday.

Likewise, August 26 has been declared a regular holiday in observance of National Heroes’ Day under Proclamation No. 368, Series 2024. This is to pay homage to the historic anniversary of the Cry of Pugad Lawin, which elicited the inception of the Philippine Revolution against Spanish colonization.

Thus, whether you plan to hang out with friends in cahoots or spend quality time with your family at home, let this long weekend be a time for academic respite. Together, let us make the most of it before we once again bust our tails on our academic obligations. ¶

𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 || 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐬 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐃𝐚𝐲 Sa paggunita ngayong araw, Hulyo 25, 2024, ng National Press Freedom Day, mahalagang tandaan ang papel ng kalayaan ng estudyanteng mamamahayag sa pagpapalakas ng kritikal na pag-iisip at pagbibigay-lakas sa boses ng mga mag-aaral sa loob ng kampus. Ayon sa College Editors Guild of the Philippines (CEGP), higit sa 800 kaso ng censorship at harassment ang naitala laban sa campus journalists mula 2010 hanggang 2020. Sa kabila ng mga batas na nagpoprotekta sa kanilang karapatan, madalas pa ring nahaharap sa matinding hamon ang marami. Halimbawa, noong 2019, hinarap ng Varsitarian ng University of Santo Tomas ang malalaking isyu ng panggigipit mula sa administrasyon matapos nilang ilathala ang mga ulat tungkol sa mga kontrobersyal na isyu sa kanilang unibersidad. Sa Polytechnic University of the Philippines, ang The Catalyst ay naharap din sa mga banta at panggigipit matapos ilathala ang mga ulat ng katiwalian na tumama sa reputasyon ng ilang opisyal ng unibersidad. Ang The Pillar ng University of Eastern Philippines ay hindi rin nakaligtas sa parehong hamon, kung saan pinipigilan ng administrasyon ang kanilang awtonomiya upang hindi maisiwalat ang iba't ibang isyu sa loob ng unibersidad. Sa kabila ng mga pagsubok na ito, ang mga campus journalists ay patuloy na nagtataguyod ng responsableng pamamahayag. Ang kanilang tapang at dedikasyon sa pag-uulat ng katotohanan ay nagbibigay-daan sa makabuluhang diskurso, mas epektibong pamamahala, at mas maalam na komunidad sa loob ng akademya. ¶ #DefendCampusPressFreedom #SupportCampusJournalists

TRIGGER WARNING: SEXUAL HARASSMENT 𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 || The Pillar is one with the world in celebrating this year’s International Women’s Month with the theme, “Inspire Inclusion”. Women all over the world are still poorly treated and discriminated in the community, in the workplace, and at home. With their myriad talents and unwavering spirit, women are capable of propelling into greater heights and sailing into the deepest waters. If we can only create an inclusive society for women where they are free to shine as individuals who deserve to be loved and respected, women will have the ability to turn a house into a home, and a workplace into a thriving community. Together, let us make the change. ¶ Words and script by: Clowie Gordo and Charelle Catunhay Actors: Ma.
