Kaiba sa nakagawian nang taktika upang mamulitika, pinakinabangan nina Ferdinand Marcos Sr. at Imelda Romualdez Marcos, gayundin ang kanilang kahalili na sina Ferdinand Marcos Jr. at Liza Araneta Marcos, ang dulaan ng bulaang pag-ibig. Isang pag-iibigang ipinamana sa makabagong panlilinlang ng kasalukuyang rehimen; pag-iibigang pang-uusig ang siyang pakay sa masang nakaantabay.

Higit sa damdamin, hangarin ang puno’t dulo ng pagsasamang tinakdaan ng dalawang angkan. Minabuti ng kasakimang pinagitnaan ng mga henerasyon na ipagpatuloy ang pandodomina nang apelyido ang panangga. Hindi bali nang mapagod sa panliligaw, magastahan sa panunuyo, o mabawasan ng dangal sa pagpapakilala. Sa makinaryang pinaandar ng yaman, ugnayan, at kapangyarihan, patag na ang daraanan ng mga Romualdez, mga Araneta, at, higit sa lahat, mga Marcos tungo sa emperyong sila ang tinitingala.

NEWS UPDATE: University of the Philippines (UP) Tacloban’s student body condemns the UP administration’s attempt to delegitimize the university student council (USC) despite the decline in student participation through a unity statement released on Sept. 27.

Through the “Student Electoral Board (SEB) Resolution 2025-003: A Resolution for the Designation of Interim Student Body Representatives for the First Semester of Academic Year 2025-2026,” the UP Tacloban Office of Student Affairs (OSA) minimized the role of incumbent officers of the USC as mere "interim representatives,” arguing that their terms as officials have already ended from since election on Sept. 13 last year.

Student groups and alliances underscored that the admin’s action attacks the legitimacy of the institution, which has prevented its mandate to aid the students affected by Typhoon Opong, following the orders from the UP Tacloban administration to take down the relief drives initiated by the SC.

UP Office of the Student Regent, alongside Katipunan ng mga Sanggunian ng mga Mag-aaral sa UP (KASAMA sa UP) and UP Solidaridad, has also condemned the act, calling out the unfair use of bureaucracy to stifle genuine student representation in a joint statement today.

“Malabo nating mapayayabong ang husay ng ating mga mag-aaral kung ituturo nating may limitadong petsa lamang ang paglilingkod,” the statement reads.

UP Tacloban student alliances urge the admin “to heed to the calls of the student body” and recognize the mandate of the university council as legitimate representative of the student body.

It is through Political Science and Development Studies’ political and economic theories that health can be understood beyond the walls of hospitals, exposing how poverty, policy, and power shape who gets to live and die. Holistic care, then, requires bridging theory and practice, and what connects both is context—context we learn by examining the roots and structures of society. Without this, healthcare is reduced to half-care.

Equally, in an age drowning in misinformation, Organizational Communication becomes crucial. It is plain and simple: effective healthcare is healthcare communicated effectively. Communication majors act as oncologists to the cancers of disinformation and bureaucratic breakdown. Through this discipline, we make sure that policies and health information actually reach and resonate with the masses.

The fields of Behavioral Sciences and Area Studies further enrich this pursuit by allowing healthcare workers to grasp how communities think, feel, and act in relation to their well-being. And where Western models narrowly separate “mind” and “body,” disciplines like Philippine Arts remind us that indigenous and cultural ways of healing treat the person as a whole—mind, body, and soul intertwined. To ignore these traditions is to amputate a part of how Filipinos’ sovereignty to understand health and the self.

To neglect the social sciences is to prescribe half a dose for a nation in need of a full cure. What, then, is the use of a stethoscope if it cannot listen to the cries of society?

Habang patuloy ang pagsulasok ng mga panis na patakarang pangkalinisan ng mga pulitiko, patuloy din ang pagkabulok ng pananagutan ng mga malalaking korporasyon at mayayamang pangunahing nag-aambag sa tambak ng basura sa bansa. Kaya’t nakatambak na lamang sa madilim na sulok ang maruming danas ng mga tapon-basura, habang nananatiling malilinis ang palad ng mga tunay na may sala.

Hangga’t pinipiling tabunan ang bulok na ugat sa halip na bunutin ito, nanlilimahid hindi lamang ang mga lansangan, kundi pati ang mga pangarap ng mga tapon-basura na patuloy na ibinabaon sa tambakan.

Kung ibabasura lang ang pagkikibit-balikat, hindi na nila kakailanganin pang magbibitbit ng basura sa kanilang mga balikat.

NEWS UPDATE: Human rights alliance KARAPATAN called justice for Eric Saber, a construction worker shot dead near Recto Station during the Sept. 21 protest.

The alliance also demanded investigation into the cases of violent dispersal during the same-day protest in Manila, along with the immediate release of victims of warrantless arrest.

According to Manila Police District records, 216 people were arrested, including 91 minors. Laywers from NUPL, PILC, and SENTRA reported cases of torture, bruise, broken bones, head injuries, and trauma among detainees, who were also held beyond legal inquest period, making arrest "illegal and arbitrary.”

KARAPATAN Deputy Secretary General Atty. Maria Sol Taule asserted DILG Sec. Jonvic Remulla and Manila Mayor Isko Moreno Domagoso of covering up state violence, citing eyewitness accounts and evidence of maximum brutality, including police firing live rounds, using tear gas, and torturing protesters, among minors and persons with disability.

The human rights group slammed the trumped-up charges filed, including the outdated Batasang Pambansa (BP) 880, which halts the people’s right to protest.

They say hunger ends when the plate is emptied — but mine never does. Even after the rice is gone, after the last sip of sabaw, there lingers a gnawing I can’t name. I leave the table, stomach full, yet still searching for something sweeter, something saltier, something more.

Termino pa lang ni dating Mayor Lani Mercado-Revilla hanggang sa bayaw niyang si Mayor Strike Revilla, makapal na usok ng apoy na ang bumabalot sa dating maalat na hangin ng mga barangay. Kwento ni Nanay Miriam*, minsan na raw silang dinalaw ng hinihinalang tauhan ni Mayor Strike. Aniya’y binalaan silang mag-ingat sapagkat muli raw susunugin ang lugar nila. Dinulog nila ito sa barangay hall ng Zapote III, ngunit walang nangyari.

Nitong Hunyo 3, muling nilamon ng sunog ang mahigit 70 na kabahayan sa Talaba II, wala pang isang taon matapos ang naunang trahedya. Makalipas ang halos dalawang buwan lamang, Agosto 9, sumiklab na naman ang apoy na siyang ginawang abo ang mga plywood at kawayan ng 50 kabahayang nakalutang sa tubig.

Kasalanan ang maging mahirap sa bansang pilit sumasakay sa alon ng globalisasyon. Ang hindi makasabay sa huwad na pag-unlad ay sunog sa arsonistang kamay ng mga despotiko o ‘di kaya ay baon sa lupa ng ganid na developer. Sinasakal sila sa reklamasyon at demolisyon — walang pakundangan hanggang sa tuluyang mapalayas o malagutan ng hinihinga. Walang puwang ang maralita’t mangingisda sa sumisikip na lungsod bunsod ng urbanisasyon.

JUST IN: UP Diliman student Mattheo Wovi Villanueva has been released from Delpan Police Station 12 after posting bail amounting to P36,000, following four days in detention and hours of delay in processing his papers.

Villanueva was apprehended without a warrant at the Sept. 21 Mendiola rally while serving as a paralegal for a media officer. He was among the protesters beaten and arrested by police during the dispersal.

Four charges were lodged against Villanueva during his inquest last Wednesday night, including illegal assembly and resistance to authority, as well as unlawful assembly under Batas Pambansa 880, a Martial Law-era measure criticized by rights groups for curtailing freedom of assembly.

The cases have yet to be filed in court pending the resolution of the inquest.

READ: Four charges have been formally filed against UP Diliman student Mattheo Wovi Villanueva after the inquest proceeding following his warrantless arrest at the Sept. 21 rally, with a recommended bail amounting to at most P66,000.

Alleged violations of the Revised Penal Code include Article 146 (illegal assembly), Article 151 (resistance and disobedience to authority), Article 153 (tumults and other disturbances of public order), and unlawful assembly under the Batas Pambansa 880.

The unconstitutional BP 880 was enacted during Marcos Sr.’s martial rule, which required the approval of public assemblies to a permit.

Villanueva was among those assaulted and arrested by police during the protest dispersal in Mendiola last Sunday.
