ONWARDS: Fifty-three years after the declaration of Martial Law, thousands once again take to the streets in the Trillion Peso March. From student arrests to misinformation, this is a deep dive into a country at a political crossroads.
By Anthony Khalil B. Bagolor Negligence deals the cards, and our youth pay the price. Gambling is no longer confined to casinos. It has now slipped into classrooms, phones, and most distressingly, the lives of several Filipino students.

The month of October comes forth as a celebration of the noble career of teaching, inspiring us students to commemorate our educators and recognize the effort they put into nurturing our young minds. What we don’t see, however, is the effort they also put into withstanding the challenges that lace the pedagogical profession, especially in the Philippines — and as World Teacher’s Day comes and goes, we are brought to salute and respect them for the grit they never fail to possess.

As the commemoration of Martial Law reaches its 53rd year, we’re faced with a dwindling light that must be kept burning in remembrance of the atrocities that transpired throughout those dark years.

STOLEN: As Habagat showers continue to sweep the weather charts, the spotlight has now turned to the very initiatives meant to prevent the average Filipino from wading in knee-deep water — the flood control projects that now seem to be forsaken.

STUCK: Metro Manila is undoubtedly notorious for its heavy traffic — and within the Ateneo de Manila University campus, things are certainly no different. While traffic is inextricably linked to everyone’s everyday routines, this phenomenon seemed to have worsened over the past few days as students began suffering with frequent lateness. Even when consideration cannot so easily be vested, understanding this deeply-rooted issue is still a great must — especially when some students have it harder than others.

Patahimik at patago man ang kanilang paglalakbay, nananaig pa rin sila sa pag-unlad ng awtentikong…
By Jelena Villorente For the fourth time in his administration, President Ferdinand “Bong Bong” Marcos Jr. delivered his State of the Nation Address (SONA) on the afternoon of July 28th, 2025.
