For over 63 years, The LaSallian has remained steadfast in its commitment to be a bastion of issue-oriented critical thinking through the currents of time.
University
As The LaSallian’s news arm, the University section serves as a truth bearer that relentlessly sheds light on DLSU and national matters.

When a teenage girl’s angst is shown in pop culture, it is often done with an air of superficiality. A young woman’s rebellion can never be too radical; her public defiance is approved by a flock of corporate executives behind the scenes, concocting a surface-level image that never goes beyond the high-pitched whine: “It’s not a phase!”

The LaSallian‘s Sports section extends beyond the view of the casual fan, diving deeper into the history and ongoing narratives behind collegiate, national, and international sports alike. We help bring the Lasallian community closer to the action and the tireless grind of the teams and athletes who proudly represent the Green-and-White both on and off the court.

Event Highlight
Discontinuance of ABS-CBN Franchise
Four years ago today, ABS-CBN, one of the country’s largest media empires, went off the air after a cease and desist order issued by the National Telecommunications Commission due to the non-renewal of their 25-year broadcast franchise during the Duterte administration.
Former President Rodrigo Duterte’s strong stance against the renewal of ABS-CBN’s franchise was fueled by his personal resentment of the media network’s non-airing of his campaign advertisements in the 2016 national elections, which he revealed in his public rant on November 8, 2018.
The #ABSCBNShutdown was a hefty blow to the already dwindling state of the nation’s press freedom, as the media giant had been at the journalistic forefront of critical thought in examining past and present administrations. This day serves as a reminder of the fragility of freedom of speech in the country—that it must be protected so we may continue to unravel truth, cultivate critical thinking, and safeguard our delicate democracy. #DefendPressFreedom
