  • Sa HAU, nauuna ang may kaya

    Hindi nasusukat ang tunay na paninindigan ng isang pamantasan sa mga salitang nakaukit sa mga tarpaulin, mission statement, o promotional video nito. Nasusukat ito sa mga estudyanteng pinipili nitong unahin — at sa mga estudyanteng handa nitong paghintayin. Read more

  • Walang mambabatas na higit sa batas

    Sa bawat pagkakataong inuuna ng Senado ang katapatan sa kaalyado kaysa sa katapatan sa Konstitusyon at sa taumbayan, mas lalong lumilinaw ang kanilang kinatatakutan: ang mabasag ang ilusyon na “untouchable” ang mga nasa kapangyarihan. Read more

  • Apathy is the second killer

    The Toboso 19 were killed in the mountains. But they were slain again. Piece by piece, in timelines and comment sections, where mockery and apathy finished what the bullets began.  Read more

  • Walang pagmamahal sa kawalan ng pag-unawa

    Taglay ang karaniwang “marketing” na istilo, inilabas ng Holy Angel University (HAU) ang maikling pelikulang “Angels” — tampok ang kuwento ng dalawang Angelites na nakahanap ng pagmamahal sa loob ng pamantasan mula sa mga inisyatibang nakaugat sa diwa ng pagbibigayan at malalim na pag-unawa sa kalagayan ng iba.

It prompts reflection on whether their motivations are rooted in a genuine dedication to serving the student body or driven… Read more

  • When silence eclipses responsibility

    To publicly state that they are equipped to cultivate a generation of individuals knowledgeable of both human rights and their execution is a bold yet empty proclamation considering their blaring ignorance. Time after time again, HAU never fails to prove the irony of their actions towards urgent and critical issues—constantly… Read more

    HAU’s repeated failure to address students’ appeals—stretching back to the prelim period and echoing issues raised as far back as last year—now becomes a glaring hypocrisy to its rallying cry that “no students are left behind” and further makes its 3Cs of “conscience, competence, and compassion” as nothing but hollow… Read more
