The LaSallianIt looks like the Rookie of the Year plum has a liking for DLSU cagebelles. While Miller Ong managed to win the trophy last season, it was her teammate Aracelie “Ara” Abaca who bested other neophytes to win that coveted title this UAAP Season 73. It not only testifies to our laudable recruitment program, but…
After quitting her high school varsity team six years ago, Amanda Maria Villanueva feels no regrets returning to volleyball action. She first started receiving and digging for volleyballs at the school intramurals and later opted for volleyball, a team sport that suited her personality. An alumna of St. James Academy of Malabon, Villanueva is currently…
The General Championship (GC), which would be the ultimate testament to the University’s superb athletic program and likewise a fitting gift for a University celebrating its 100th year of existence, looms nearer than ever. Perennial champion University of Santo Tomas (UST), however, is looking to spoil that celebration. If they once more win the overall…
The Taft-based paddlers just get better and better. At the conclusion of the Table Tennis tournament of the 73rd Season of the UAAP, both the DLSU Green and Lady Paddlers proved they have what it takes to warrant a well deserved recognition for their teams’ efforts as both of the teams annexed the second place…
Three seems like a magical number for the DLSU Green and Lady Judokas. As the five competing universities entered the 5,000-seater Fil-Oil Arena in the heart of San Juan, the Green-and-White Judokas came in last with a strong and united but serene vibe as they walked each teammate holding the shoulder of the other, and…

According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the Philippines is the only country with a 10-year cycle. Hence, the K+12 program will keep the Philippine education consistent…
It was like receiving a letter from the past. Weirdly enough, it came in the form of an email. Some few weeks ago, I had a brief correspondence with our first editor in chief (EIC) Polo Pantaleon. I asked him to write a special column for this month’s equally special anniversary issue. Too bad he…
Well it’s not even a house to begin with. It certainly doesn’t have a roof, which is why patches of grass have been indifferently washed away by time like an old man’s receding hairline. It most certainly doesn’t have a name. It’s simply called “the football field.” No walls either; only a several-meters high fence,…
I have been green-minded for half my life. I was in the same institution for 17 years of my life because, much like my family’s receding hairlines, studying in La Salle was a family legacy. Green had been hard-wired into my DNA. I am a Lasallian three generations deep and damn proud of it. My…
This verbally manifested thought bubble from Despicable Me’s villainous main character, Gru, whenever he had a revelation – or at least whenever he thought he had a great idea – accurately described many moments in my life at The LaSallian. Some schemes turned out to be great; some, epic fail; and some, weirdly enough, both.…
