The LaSallianAs the nights grow longer and the chilly wind blows by us now and then, one can immediately tell what is going on. The sparkling lights that go with the jolly tunes. The colorful garlands hanging around loosely, and the news program announcing the countdown of days – nobody can deny Christmas is coming, although…
On December 10 2007, Led Zeppelin, undoubtedly one of the most influential bands of all time, reunited for the Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert. Ertegun, who died months before (incidentally due to injuries sustained at a Rolling Stones concert) was the founder of Atlantic Records, the label which housed the band when it dominated the 1970s…

It is without a doubt that we aim to take a ride at the superhighways of success and victory. Seeing people achieve incredible things ignites a sensation and transforms us into a different person. In this world, everyone is unique and we all have our chapters to write. During my stay at Don BoscoTarlac, like…
Last month, I chanced upon a familiar figure, walking along Castro Street. The man was wearing an old plain white shirt, slacks and leather shoes. He was carrying an old overused bag as he went quietly towards Taft Avenue, looking or staring at the ground. I remembered looking the same almost half a decade ago…
Last December 3, Lasallians in green and white trooped out in front of the Henry Sy, Sr. Hall in order to form the Signum Fidei, the first Human Lasallian Star to materialize in the Taft campus. From the height of the passing LRT, the sight is a tour de force: a human star of green…
“I vote YES in behalf of ALL young people, especially those coming from poor families, who stand to benefit the most from the passage of this bill into law.
