Having reached the end of their rope, they were forced to leave the University, as society branded them with a harsher, more traumatizing label—kicked out.…
Some origin stories aren’t as poetic as the narrative of the Holy Bible’s Genesis, or as abrupt and mystifying as the beginning of Kafka’s Metamorphosis. Some origin stories, when stripped of metaphors and other literary techniques, become stories of human passion. As much as we’re often overwhelmed in our academic affairs on campus, some Lasallians…

After a very long lay-off caused by the UAAP’s calendar shift, the DLSU Green Paddlers and Lady Paddlers are excited to get back into the groove as they begin a quest that few teams have ever had the chance of undergoing. Fresh off a double championship in Season 77, both teams are entering the tournament…
The Manila International Book Fair (MIBF), now on its 36th edition, has become somewhat of a pilgrimage for Filipino lit lovers and bookworms. Known for its bargain prices, with discount rates as high as 90% off, and sightings of local and international authors, the MIBF has become an annual staple for those looking to satiate…
To tweak a popular phrase, the road to every championship begins with a tough setback. In the DLSU Green Archer’s case, three setbacks set up their path to redemption for UAAP Season 78. Every title they won in a span of ten months from 2013 and 2014 was taken from them by both their UAAP…
