Although many students might disagree — especially those freshly tanned and stress-free from the five-month summer break — the year ahead for DLSU is an exciting one. We have a new president, a new chancellor, and an administrative structure that was freshly reorganized for efficiency. The University has seen major changes in several facilities and […]
There’s no other place to look for proof that time doesn’t always heal everything than in sports. Though instances such as LeBron James’ return home to Cleveland and Luis Suarez being an integral part of FC Barcelona’s treble may erase earlier “transgressions”, these outliers don’t mask the notion in sports that wounds may heal, but […]
Through television screens, streamed videos, and web updates, millions of Filipinos watched as President Benigno Aquino III climbed the steps towards the podium at the plenary hall of the Batasang Pambansa and began his sixth and last State of the Nation Address (SONA) last Monday, as protesters conducted their own People’s SONA along Commonwealth Avenue.

The 23.8km stretch of road from Monumento in Caloocan to the Mall of Asia in Pasay can easily be likened to our country, from its conception until now. The Epifanio de los Santos Avenue, commonly known as EDSA, is one of the most important roadways in the country because not only it connects most of […]
How far is the gap between being a ‘kid’ and being an ‘adult’? And more importantly, when exactly do we make the jump? Of course, it’s easy to define the terms ‘child’ and ‘adult’ using numbers. It’s much simpler to say that someone’s a child if they’re below 18 years of age, and someone’s an […]
