University
Being there when stories happen, the University section serves as The LaSallian‘s news arm that goes beyond what meets the eye. Through exhaustive coverages, news features, and in-depth commentaries, we aim to serve the public by gathering, amplifying, and defending the truth within and beyond the Animo realm.
Menagerie
Grounded in Filipino culture and society, the Menagerie is the publication’s features section that explores the mundane and the peculiar. We write about people and phenomena celebrated and forgotten, from the margins of society and at the heart of communities.
Sports
The LaSallian‘s Sports section extends beyond the eye of the casual fan, diving deeper into the story behind collegiate, national, and international sports alike. We help bridge the Lasallian community closer to the action and the grind of the teams and athletes who proudly represent the Green-and-White on and off the court.
Vanguard
Vanguard inspires curiosity and connects everyday people with the brightest minds in science. Apart from reporting the wonders, hypotheses, and data, we uphold the duty to examine the role of money and the government in science, review science-related public policies, and dissect the murky underbelly of the field.
Intermedia
Intermedia produces the audio-visual projects of the organization. We focus on collaboration and creativity in short-reels, in-depth interviews, topical clips, and video essays. From the writing process, filming sets, animated visuals, and post-production editing, the team sheds light on the niche stories in our environments.
The strength of femininity through self-expression
Spanning various genres and disciplines, women have found a way to channel their femininity through their work to allow others to explore their own gender and chosen forms of expression.

Photo
We do more than just clicking a button; The LaSallian’s Photo section brings life into the publication’s articles by producing visuals that resonate with our audience. We capture memories from events with photographs that tell stories in ways words can’t express.
Painting with Light
Us in every universe
It is a curious feeling to yearn for an unbelievably resilient bond with any human in this world. It is quivering yet beautiful, making you believe that the heavens conspired for you to be with someone through thick and thin—through any version of yourself. This Valentine’s Day, The LaSallian‘s photographers transcend not just one but every universe, as they capture the universality of the feeling of love and affection.

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
