The LaSallian“With legs wide open.” That was how my KASPIL professor described the Philippines’ reception of Spain during our colonization. I don’t recall whether those were his own words or a quote from someone else, but it left a powerful image in my head.
Looking for a new book to read, new films to watch, or new music to listen to? Drop your schoolwork for a while as The Menagerie brings you recommendations from around the campus. For this month, we ask members of DLSU’s Malate Literary Folio to tell us about the books that changed or shaped them.…
We walk through the streets of Quiapo, the stench of fish lingering in the air. The road is narrow and full of people, making us sweat on this hot summer day. It doesn’t seem to bother the vendors proffering their vegetables and DVD’s. But we’re not interested in their wares. We make it to the…
The dawn of a new school year is coming, and with it a batch of new faces fresh off from high school. So to the freshmen, welcome to De La Salle University! You have at least the next three years to make it your home, and between meeting new people, keeping up with the workload,…

Last January 7, 2014, the DLSU Eco Car team unveiled their latest car, the gasoline powered Delta, alongside last year’s car, the solar-electric powered Archer. It was the culmination of a year of hard work for the DLSU Eco Car Team, an org devoted to making energy-efficient cars. So how are the cars made, what…

We push the boundaries of play with each slosh of the wine and shake of the hip; alcohol drip drip dripping, strobe lights flashing, and blurred, sugary drops of ecstasy swirling on our tongues…
