OPINION
Principles over principals

After Vice President Leni Robredo announced her post-election plan on May 13–the inauguration of the “Angat Buhay” non-governmental organization (NGO), many supporters of presidential frontrunner Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr (BBM) already lambasted the NGO without hearing its goal.

OPINION
Impending end of the King’s reign

Change is inevitable, but three years is not enough for this big of a change. Jeepneys are a huge part of the Filipino transport system and employing a phase-out program for these vehicles can appear rushed. Not only does it affect the lives of the families that depend on it, but also the status of the Philippine transportation in general.

OPINION
Philippine cinema is dying

I felt that there was an unspoken optimism among film lovers and non-enthusiasts alike towards the comeback of better Filipino films in theatres; a hope that is yet to be fulfilled and might never be. Some even said that Philippine cinema is dying, to which I unfortunately agree.

The Battle Against Covid Resurgence
by Katrina Dacanay

The Philippines reached a grim milestone when it breached three million COVID-19 cases in early January 2022 with the emergence of the Omicron variant. Months after the country’s two-year lockdown anniversary, it is becoming evident that the government prefers cure rather than prevention.

Greetings are not enough; Struggles of Esports Athletes in PH

“There is support from the government, but it is selective.

Bans off our bodies; Decriminalize Abortion

One of the important steps to understanding why the country needs to legalize abortion is recognizing that unwanted pregnancies are happening, especially among the youth. Believe it or not, not everyone considers pregnancy as "a blessing," more so when it is unplanned.
