The University of Eastern Philippines (UEP) is set to have a P73.9M boost to its budget this year as stipulated in the recently released General Appropriations Act (GAA) for 2025, Friday, January 3, 2025.

A notable increase was the massive hike from P30M to P69.6M in the university's capital outlay from 2024 to 2025.

This means that the university will have more funding for infrastructure projects, equipment, and other long-term investments that will go beyond a fiscal year.

As stipulated in the GAA release, some of the appropriated projects are P49.6M for the completion of the covered walk, P1.3M for the improvement of Samar Studies, P1.3M for the repair of the College of Science (CS) Laboratory Extension, and P2.3M for the repair of the College of Business Administration (CBA) Building (Faculty, Accreditation Room, Conference Room, and Accountancy Room).

Regardless of the setbacks and controversies, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. approved the GAA on December 30, 2024, which puts the government at a P6.3-trillion budget for the fiscal year 2025.

Despite the budget cuts that the other State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) sustained, UEP remains at an advantage with its doubled capital outlay for more infrastructural and equipment investments that the UEPians should anticipate. ¶

𝐊𝐎𝐃𝐀𝐊 || 𝐘𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠

The flame glows bright, but why does the heat feel cold?

In this season filled with shining smiles, some people sit silently in the shadows of what ought to be—a table surrounded by love, a hearth full of warmth, and hands clasped together in solace—while the rest of the world merry-makes with song and laughter. Instead, they withstand the chilly, damp streets to earn a living or remember the distant unexperienced joys, longing for solace that eludes them like a dying star in the vastness of space. Even the brightest red and green of the season cannot melt the whispering ache of longing that lingers in the icy air.

Enveloped in nostalgia and yearning for what should’ve been, memories far distant continue to linger in the corners of their minds. Like a delicate ember, they carry this desire in the hopes that it will provide warmth to the arid cold. And yet, even in this bitterness, there is strength—a silent fortitude that pushes them on, through the silence, toward the glimmering light of hope.

Ngayong araw, ika-30 ng Disyembre, ginugunita ng sambayanang pilipino ang buhay ni Jose Rizal, kasabay ang kaniyang sakripisyo at pangarap para sa isang malaya at makatarungang bayan.

Ang kaniyang mga akda katulad ng Noli Me Tangere at El Filibusterismo ay nagbigay daan upang buksan ang mga mata ng mga Pilipino sa mga pasakit ng bayan sa ilalim ng kolonyal na pamamahala. Ngunit higit pa rito, itinaguyod niya ang mga prinsipyo ng edukasyon, kabutihang moral, at makatarungang pamumuhay na dapat magsilbing gabay at inspirasyon sa bawat henerasyon ng mga Pilipino.

Ngunit sa kasulukuyan, kasabay ng pag-usbong ng makabagong uri ng pamumuhay at pagkakaiba-iba ng paniniwala, nagiging isang malaking hamon sa mga Pilipino ang isabuhay ang diwa ng kaniyang mga aral.

Umusad man ang panahon, nananatiling buhay ang iba’t ibang danas ng mga Pilipino mula noong panahon ng pananakop. Ilan dito ay ang hamon sa kalayaan mula sa mga tanikala ng kamangmangan, kahirapan, at katiwalian.

Ang kalayaan na ipinaglaban ni Rizal ay hindi lamang nakasalalay sa pag-aalay ng buhay, kundi sa aktibong pakikilahok sa mga isyung panlipunan, politikal, at ekonomiko. Ang kaniyang buhay ay nagsisilbing isang paalala na ang bawat Pilipino ay may tungkulin sa pagpapabuti ng bansa—isang responsibilidad na hindi natatapos sa pag-alala, kundi sa patuloy na aksyon, paglilingkod sa bayan, at pakikibaka sa karapatan ng bawat mamamayan.

Ang tunay na paggunita kay Rizal ay hindi lamang nasa mga seremonya at pagtataas ng bandila, kundi sa mga hakbangin ng bawat Pilipino upang itaguyod ang kalayaan, katarungan, at pagkakapantay-pantay—mga pagpapahalaga na kanyang ipinaglaban at ipinasa sa atin bilang isang walang hanggang misyon para sa bayan. ¶

As the COVID-19 pandemic paralyzed the world last 2020, a rallying message emerged: the demand for a robust early detection system is indispensable to beat viruses and prevent future risks. The outbreak served as an eye-opener for many governments to revisit and recalibrate their policies in health hazards and mitigation, changing the way we think about preparedness.

On December 27, the world observes the International Day of Epidemic Preparedness which fundamentally highlights the need to create a global health system that detects, responds and prevents public health threats worldwide. In an increasingly hazardous world, the United Nations Assembly calls for a global cooperation geared toward sharing information, resources and strategies among nations that will build a strengthened early warning system for epidemics and pandemics, reaching those who are vulnerable and in vulnerable situations.

Global Health Security (GHS) Index echoes the findings that national health security around the globe is fundamentally weak wherein no country is ready to handle the next pandemic after conducting the first comprehensive assessment and benchmarking of health security and related capabilities across 195 countries.

Now more than ever, all facets of the interconnected world must come together to best prepare for future health risks by making testing available to all, no matter where they are in the world in order to have the earliest and most adequate response to any health crisis that may emerge.

Sa pagpasok ng Disyembre,
Hanging umiihip ay may ibang timbre.
Sa bawat dampi tila’y nagpapaalala,
Na ang buwang ito’y may bigat na dala.

Kung dati-dati nadaramay kilig at tuwa,
Ngayo’y pahinga ang aking hanap-hanap.
Kung sa paligid-ligid may nangangaroling,
Ako’y kompletong tulog ang tanging hiling.

Kung dati-dati nais ko’y maraming handa,
May gulaman, salad, at kung ano-ano pa man.
Ngayo’y kalmadong isipan at damdamin,
Sa aking bawat pagmulat ang mithiin.

‘Di man matapos ang simbang gabi,
Kulang ng isa, dalawa, o ilan pa.
Ang mahalaga’y mga gawain ko’y matapos,
Nang maipasa sa oras ng ‘di kapos.

Kalinga ng aking ina, mga biro ng aking ama,
Tawanan at kwentuhan nila ate’t kuya.
Ito ang inaasam-asam ng aking damdamin,
‘Di ang magpa-alipin sa daan-daang gawain.

Sapagkat, sa madaling salita,
Ngayong pagsapit ng pasko,
Tila’y kayraming nagbago’t naglaho—
Tulad ng ang dating ako. ¶

Dear Santa, I hope this letter finds you,
Where stars shine bright and the parols do, too.
This year, my heart holds a quiet plea,
Not for gifts or treats, but for my family and me.

My parents, though weary they seem,
Work untiringly to build my dreams.
Their eyes are calloused, their eyes lined with drain.
They strive to provide, their shoulder bear burden.

As for me, dear Santa, I’ve struggled to stand,
With lessons that slip through my trembling hands.
Books piled high, deadlines so near,
Yet I’m trying to show I am brave, not in fear.

Sometimes I doubt, sometimes I fall,
But I long to make them proud most of all.
If you could, Santa, grant me some light,
To guide me through shadows, to help me fight.

So, Santa, if you’re really reading my plea.
Bring them rest and a life less heavy.
Give them peace, let the joy glide,
Bring back their laughter and leave their worries behind.

No grand gifts or ribbons under the Christmas tree,
Just hope that tomorrow brings what will be.
Wrap us in courage, let kindness unfold,
And gift us a season of peace to hold. ¶

Socks wet with the rain,
Charcoal beneath my eyes,
Walking in the pedestrian lane;
I sigh a smile

As I chug this ambrosia I call coffee
I look up to the skies: the moon
like a harlequin, It taunts me
A stranger that I meet time and time again

Walking with my scarred body and calloused soul
It laughs at me, above the rain clouds
"Perfectionism is a sharp knife," I said
As I wonder if my ego has been fed,

Survival is fine,
Yet here I am fighting at the lions den,
Should I cross that line;
To be a hero of Athens

I am quite envious of that circular thing;
Floating amongst the stars,
While I am Atlas, or so I say;
Carrying the entire world of ours

"I don't matter compared to you huh?"
Smiling as I utter those words,
I am no Titan, compared to the moon;
The weight of my ego took flight like birds

Knowing your an ant amongst ants;
Is a comfort, I suppose,
These little scars that I bode,
Will see no light, but cherished by me

So I'll just keep walking
Clothes wet, dewdrops dripping
Looking up as the rain dissipates
As I smile to the moon ¶

“Alam mo, Kuya Caloy, bukas Simbang Gabi na! Tara, magsimba tayo!” masiglang aya ni Denden, ang aking nakababatang kapatid, habang nagtatanggal ako ng alikabok sa aming lumang parol.

“Huh? Bakit naman? Hindi na uso ‘yan,” sagot ko, bahagyang iritado.

“Eh sabi nila, ‘pag nakumpleto mo raw ang Simbang Gabi, matutupad ang hiling mo!” sagot niya, puno ng kumpiyansa.

Napahinto ako at saglit na napatingin sa kaniya. Parang narinig ko na ‘yan noong bata pa ako. Si Nanay ang unang nagsabi niyan sa akin. Dahil doon, noong walong taong gulang pa lang ako, ginawa kong misyon ang pagkumpleto ng Simbang Gabi para lang matupad ang hiling ko.

Sa unang araw ng Simbang Gabi, masiglang-masigla akong naglalakad papuntang simbahan kasama sina Nanay. Sa bawat dasal, taimtim kong hiningi sa Panginoon na sana’y magkaroon ako ng isang pares ng itim na sapatos na nakita ko sa tindahan.

Kinumpleto ko ang siyam na Simbang Gabi. Noong bisperas ng Pasko, tuwang-tuwa akong naghintay ng sorpresa. Ngunit pagsapit ng umaga, wala ni isang kahon sa ilalim ng Christmas tree.

“Siguro bukas pa darating,” bulong ko sa sarili. Pero lumipas ang mga araw, linggo, at buwan, walang dumating na sapatos.

“Anak, pasensya na, ha. Hindi pa kaya ng budget natin ngayon,” paliwanag ni Nanay. Hindi ko pa lubos na maintindihan noon ang hirap ng buhay namin. Ang alam ko lang, nagtiyaga akong magsimba ng siyam na madaling araw, pero walang natupad.

Simula noon, tumigil na ako sa pagpunta sa Simbang Gabi. Ang tingin ko sa tradisyon na iyon ay isang malaking paasa. Kaya sa tuwing may mag-aaya, lagi akong tumatanggi.

“Kuya, please? Kahit ngayon lang ulit! Sabi ni Nanay, dati raw, lagi kang excited sa Simbang Gabi,” pangungulit ni Denden.

“Denden, para saan pa? Wala namang nangyayari kahit magsimba ka.”

Nagtampo si Denden at umalis.

Noong gabing iyon, habang tahimik ang paligid, parang may kurot akong naramdaman. Naalala ko ang mga sakripisyo noon ni Nanay at Tatay. Kahit hirap na hirap sila, sinisigurado nilang maayos ang Noche Buena. Na kahit walang sapatos, natuto akong magpasalamat sa kung anong meron.

Kinabukasan, nagising ako sa tunog ng kampana mula sa simbahan.

Nagulat si Denden nang makita akong nakapantalon at nakapustura, handang-handang sumama. “Talaga, Kuya? Sasama ka?”

Ngumiti ako nang bahagya. “Oo na nga. Pero ikaw ang magdadala ng flashlight.”

Pagdating sa simbahan, nakaramdam ako ng kakaibang init sa dibdib habang nanonood ng mga tao — mga pamilya, magkakaibigan, at matatanda. Lahat ay nagtitiyagang gumising sa madaling araw. Sa bawat misa, naalala ko ang dahilan kung bakit mahalaga ang Simbang Gabi, hindi lang para humiling, kundi para magpasalamat, magtiwala, at umasa.

Sa huling misa, pinikit ko ang aking mga mata at tahimik na nanalangin. Hindi para sa sarili ko, kundi para sa pamilya namin, na sana’y maging mas matatag sa kabila ng mga hamon sa buhay.

Pagsapit ng Pasko, wala man akong bagong sapatos o materyal na regalo, naramdaman ko ang sagot sa panalangin ko. Ang aming munting bahay ay puno ng tawa at pagmamahalan, isang bagay na mas mahalaga kaysa sa anumang bagay na kayang bilhin ng pera.

“Kuya Caloy, ano ang hiling mo ngayong Pasko?” tanong ni Denden habang pinagmamasdan ang kumikislap naming parol.

Ngumiti ako sa kanya. “Wala na. Meron na ako ng lahat ng kailangan ko.” ¶

December 22, 2024 - The shear line rain engulfed and has been constantly pouring again in the eastern part of the Visayas region as well as other islands in the country. Another cause of this heavy rain is the low-pressure area (LPA) that recently developed at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 21, outside of the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).

According to the report by the Provincial Government of Northern Samar, 18 of its towns were reportedly inundated or under severe flooding, which has placed the province under a state of calamity.

This year's Christmas poses a challenge while approximately 70 percent of the province population, or 75,500 families, and up to 370,000 individuals from its 24 towns are affected by the calamity, according to the report from Gugma sa Norte.

With this, the Gugma sa Norte raised its second fund-raising initiative to help our fellow Nortehanons in collaboration with the Local Government Unit of Northern Samar and other organizations in the University of Eastern Philippines (UEP).

You can send your cash donation through GCash using the number:
0997 477 6612, Darrel C. Tibre.

Let us work together to save the Christmas spirit by helping our fellow Nortehanons in need. ¶

𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐑𝐘 || 𝐀 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐚𝐬 𝐇𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐥𝐞

As rain pours down, as streets get loud,
With speeding motors, with people unbowed,
Vendors stay, their heads wrapped tight,
In cellophane hats, they sell ‘til night.

With goods displayed, though soaked and cold,
They keep selling, both young and old.
Amid the smell of streets so near,
They go unnoticed, quiet and clear.

Their clothes are wet, their bodies worn,
But Christmas hope, keeps them reborn.
They carry on, through cold and rain,
For a joyful Christmas, they’ll sustain.

The night is cold, the wind is strong,
Still they work the whole night long.
Each peso earned, each thing they sell,
Brings them closer, to the feast they tell.

A pepsi cola, pansit, and a loaf of bread,
Warm food, to keep their children fed.
Their dreams so simple, yet full of light,
A hearty meal, on the Christmas night.

So, as you walk and as you pass,
The vendors work, they don’t close fast.
Remember them and what they do,
For Christmas thrives, in their hearts too. ¶

Pumailanlang ang mga isyung panlipunang matagal nang umiiral ngunit may kagyat na diskurso sa kasalukuyan sa ikaapat na edisyon ng Lantawan na ginanap sa Research, Development, and Extension (RDE) Conference Hall, ika-21 ng Disyembre.

Nagsama-sama ang mga estudyante mula sa BSEd English 3 at BS Civil Engineering 2a&c na may asignaturang Contemporary, Popular, and Emergent Literature at Panitikan ng Pilipinas para sa malikhaing pagsasalin ng mga akdang pampanitikan sa paraan ng transcreation, poetry performance at performance poetry.

Ang nasabing sining ng pagtatanghal ay nagtampok ng pagtalakay sa homosekswalidad na masusing isinadula ng mga estudyante mula sa BSCE 2c gamit ang kantang "Sirena" ni Gloc 9.

Nagmarka rin ang ginawang song interpretation ng "Liwanag sa Dilim" ng Rivermaya mula sa magaaral ng BSEd-English 3 kung saan sumentro ito sa pagbubunyag ng mga aswang bilang simbolismo ng mga politikong pilit na nilulunod ang mamamayan sa lalim ng dilim dahil sa kanilang mga katiwalian.

Masasalamin natin na sa likod ng bawat teksto ay ang mga dalumat na kailangan lamang arukin at pagnilayan, at ipasundayag gamit ang iba't-ibang medium o behikulo," ani Dr. Jay Neil G. Verano sa paglalahad ng kaniyang rationale. ¶
