The LaSallianIf you’ve spent enough time with someone energetic, or someone who couldn’t sit still, chances are they’ve referred to themselves or have been referred to as ‘ADHD’ at some point. This acronym, of course, refers to the neurodevelopmental condition, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. As language continues to evolve, terms such as ‘ADHD’ have somehow veered…
If you’re passing on Halloween parties or ditching the annual trick-or-treating tradition, try a sleepover. We never outgrow the minute-long terror or sleepless nights that follow a succession of tales about the otherworldly, and all the more if these stories are just lurking around the nearest hallway. Legends and monsters have been passed on for…
True to Lasallian culture, it’s a widely known rite of passage to go through the bottom of the food chain once thrown into the shark-infested pool that is college. And you, dear freshmen, are swimming as baby guppies. Perhaps the most evident manifestation of this is the catch-all response of “Frosh may kasalanan!” to everything…
“Bayan o sarili?” This is the question posed to us by Jerrold Tarog’s new film, Heneral Luna, chronicling the rise and fall of one of the greatest military generals in Philippine history. From his success with Sana Dati, an endearing romantic comedy featuring Lovi Poe and Paulo Avelino, Tarog has shown his ability to be…
You’ve probably pictured something like this: finally coming home at the end of the day, sitting down on your sofa, stretching out your arms and legs, and taking in a deep breath. You’ve done it.

How does a trip to New York City sound to you? How about an offer to work for one of the largest and most prestigious banks in Southeast Asia? What would you say to 1,000 US dollars? These are the stuff of dreams for most students, goals that the everyday Lasallian might strive for in…
Millennials: We are not entitled. We are frustrated and we have every reason to be. I’ve heard the phrase, “Iba na talaga ang kabataan ngayon,” one time too many. I’ve heard it from my parents, my grandparents, my titos and titas, my professors, and even the occasional jeepney driver. I know I’m not the only…
The timing of the three-day run of the Harlequin Theatre Guild’s latest production, Magtanggol Liberacion, could not have been any better. The state of Philippine politics has gone awfully awry these past few months, with the news of the Vice President himself filing a P200-million libel suit against multiple sectors being the latest one to…
“It’s so init here, diba?” “Those shoes are so mahal talaga!” “Can you make para here, boss?” Do you know anyone who talks like this? De La Salle University always seems to be humorously associated with the conyo subculture, so one can’t help but wonder just how the typical conyo kid came into existence. The…
