NEWS | Security check urges WU-P students to leave campus

Students were asked to vacate the campus following an ‘unannounced’ security check at around 7:00 AM, July 17, 2025.

According to a security guard at Wesleyan University-Philippines (WU-P), they were unaware that a sudden security assessment had been scheduled.

“Wala po kaming idea, pati kami nalilito pa rin. Dito kasi ako [sa main gate]. Bigla na lang po pinasara ang mga gate,” said the guard.

Following the security check, the Office of Student Affairs (OSA) announced a class suspension via their official page and apologized for the late notice.

“Classes for today, July 17, 2025, are suspended to allow for a security assessment within the campus. We sincerely apologize for the late notice and any inconvenience this may cause. Please stay safe and await further updates through our official channels. Thank you for your understanding.”

LITERARI | Gitna pero hindi sentro

Isa akong tulay, sa gitna’y nakatindig,
Nag-uugnay sa magkabilang pampang na matatag.
Ako’y taga-pamagitan sa panganay na puno ng tungkulin,
At sa bunsong laging binibigyan ng pansin.

Binabaybay lang ngunit hindi hinihintuan,
Atensyon kasi’y nakatuon sa pupuntahan.
Gayunpaman, ako ang daan sa tahimik na landas,
Hindi man ako ang simula o wakas.

Sa bawat lakbayin ng pamilya’y nariyan,
Masasandalan at tahimik na nanunungkulan.
Ako’y nasa gitna, ‘di man laging pansinin,
Ngunit laging naroon, sa bawat hinanakit at damdamin.

Maihahalintulad mo ako sa pandikit,
Gumagabay at nagbubuklod ng mga lamat at punit.
Sa bawat away at tampo, ako ang nasa likod,
Nagdidikit ng pirasong muntik nang mawasak at madurog.

Minsan ako’y napapagod at nauubos,
Ngunit wala sa bokabularyo ko ang sumuko.
Tahimik na gumagabay at nagsisilbi,
Pandikit sa pamilyang walang kasing saya’t saksi.

Walang kasing saya ang maging panggitna.
