There is no real freedom without press freedom.

A journalist’s role goes beyond writing stories, disseminating information, or taking photos for the public eye. They are the custodians of truth. Every article, every image, every voice speaks volumes—telling stories that silence can never hold.

Since the restoration of democracy in 1986, 147 journalists have been murdered in the Philippines, according to Reporters Without Borders (RSF). This grim number marks our country as one of the most dangerous places for media workers—an unsettling truth that echoes the price of speaking out.

Journalists are the ones who stand behind every protest against tyranny, who refuse to bow down to lies and hypocrisy. They do not retreat when threatened; instead, each risk sharpens their resolve to stand for what is just and to fulfill their duty: to deliver the truth, untainted and unbroken.

Under Republic Act No. 11699, also known as the “National Press Freedom Day,” August 30 of every year is dedicated to honoring this cause. Yet this day is more than a holiday. It is not a celebration—it is a protest. It is a reminder of the journalists who have fallen, of the voices silenced in the pursuit of truth, and of the mission we must continue.

Now is not the time for silence. Now is the time to stand and speak. Defending press freedom today means securing a freer, better tomorrow.

Let the truth be heard.
Let the truth seekers speak.
Defend Press Freedom!

𝐁𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐀 | Pagmamahal sa Wika at Kultura, tampok sa Kulminasyon ng Buwan ng Wika 2025 ng NORSU-G

Muling ipinagdiwang ng Negros Oriental State University–Guihulngan Campus ang Buwan ng Wikang Pambansa 2025 na may temang “Paglinang sa Filipino at Katutubong Wika: Makasaysayan sa Pagkakaisa ng Bansa,” na ginanap sa gymnasium ng paaralan noong Agosto 29, 2025.

Bilang pagpapahalaga sa pambansang wika at sa iba’t ibang kultura ng Pilipinas, layunin ng selebrasyon na hikayatin ang mga mag-aaral na patuloy na tangkilikin at pahalagahan ang sariling wika sa kabila ng mabilis na pag-usbong ng makabagong teknolohiya sa kasalukuyan.

Iba’t ibang makukulay na aktibidad ang itinampok sa pagdiriwang, kabilang ang Poster Making Contest, Kundiman, Katutubong Sayaw, Doble Kara, at Laro ng Lahi, na nagpakita ng malikhaing talento at husay ng mga mag-aaral. Tampok din ang pagsuot ng mga tradisyunal na kasuotan mula sa iba’t ibang departamento bilang sagisag ng pagkakaisa ng mga Pilipino.

“Ang pagdiriwang na ito ay hindi lamang isang sinaunang tradisyon, kundi isang makabuluhang paalala na ang wika ay nagsisilbing puso ng ating pagkakakilanlan,” pahayag ni Dr. Charmy C. Siblag, Pinuno ng Kagawaran ng Filipino, na binigyang-diin ang kahalagahan ng wika sa ating pagkatao bilang Pilipino.

Higit pa sa pagiging inspirasyon, ang Buwan ng Wika ay nagsisilbing paalala na dapat patuloy na pagtibayin at pahalagahan ang ating pinagmulan.

Sa pagtatapos ng pagdiriwang, naging malinaw na ang wika ay hindi lamang daluyan ng komunikasyon, kundi tulay ng pagkakaisa sa kabila ng pagkakaiba—isang salamin ng kaunlaran, pagpapahalaga, at pagmamahal ng bawat Pilipino sa sariling kultura at bayan.

To warmly embrace the freshmen into the BSBA field, the JES officers prepared a variety of activities, including talent showcases, trivia, parlor games, and a dance showdown—all designed to entertain and engage the new students.

“College is not only about passing exams, it is about knowing yourself as a person,” shared Mr. Gesan G. Sarupan, Adviser II of JES. He emphasized that college is not confined to the four corners of the classroom or the exams one aces, but about self-discovery. “Be active, join activities, and take part in school life,” he added.

“Being part of JES is an honor and opportunity because, among 111 first-year students, I was chosen to become their president,” Joy Bellina, one of the freshmen and the first-year representative, said in an interview expressing what she felt for being part of JES. “I know that being part of this organization will be challenging but also full of fun,” she remarked.

Sa bawat pag-ikot ng makasaysayang gulong, may pangalang nakaukit sa kasaysayan. Sila’y lumaban hindi para sa sarili, kundi para sa bayan—walang alinlangan, walang pag-aatubili.

Ngayong Agosto 25, 2025, ipinagdiriwang natin ang Araw ng mga Bayani. Sa mga paaralan man, opisina, at lansangan, may mga programang nagbibigay-pugay at pagkilala sa lahat ng Pilipinong nag-alay ng sarili para sa bayan—kilala man sila o hindi.

Ang mga bayani ay hindi lamang mga rebultong nakatayo sa gitna ng plaza. Sila’y mga alingawngaw ng tapang, mga aninong hindi natin nakita ngunit ramdam sa ating kalayaan. Sila ang dahilan kung bakit tayo’y malaya ngayong magsalita, mangarap, at mabuhay nang may dangal.

Hindi lang ito tungkol kina Rizal, Bonifacio, Mabini, o Gabriela. Ito’y paggunita sa tapang, talino, at puso ng bawat Pilipino na namuhay hindi para sa sariling kapakanan, kundi para sa ikabubuti ng nakararami.

Ang Araw ng mga Bayani ay hindi nakatalaga sa iisang pangalan o mukha lamang. Ito ay para sa lahat ng mga Pilipino na piniling manindigan sa gitna ng mga kaguluhan.

Bukod pa rito, ang kahalagahan nito ay hindi lamang nakabaon sa nakaraan, kundi umaabot hanggang sa kasalukuyan—dahil ang kabayanihan ay patuloy na nabubuhay sa bawat kilos ng pagmamalasakit.

Isa na rito ang ating mga g**o sa liblib na mga paaralan, ang mga manggagamot sa malalayong baryo, ang mga Overseas Filipino Workers na nagsasakripisyo para sa kani-kanilang pamilya, at ang mga estudyanteng lumalaban para sa karapatan—lahat sila ay mga makabagong bayani.

Ang tunay na kabayanihan ay hindi palaging malakas ang tinig; kadalasan, ito’y tahimik ngunit tapat. Hindi natin kailangang hawakan ang tabak tulad ni Bonifacio o ang panulat tulad ni Rizal. Minsan, sapat na ang tapang na gumawa ng tama, lumaban nang patas, at ang pusong may malasakit sa kapwa upang matawag na bayani.

Ngayong Araw ng mga Bayani, tayo’y hindi lamang nagbabalik-tanaw. Tayo rin ay pinapaalalahanan na sa bawat Pilipinong may malasakit, may bayani na nagmumula at sa puso ng bawat isa, naroroon ang apoy ng pagbabago.

Mabuhay ang ating mga bayani!
Mabuhay ang Pilipino!

𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐔𝐌𝐍 | Dreams on Hold: When Learning Becomes a Luxury

As we stand at the pinnacle of human progress, education has emerged as one of the most profound and universally recognized basic human rights. It lifts people out of poverty, narrows social inequalities, and lays the groundwork for sustainable development. More than just academic instruction, education equips individuals with the knowledge and skills to make informed decisions, challenge ignorance, and meaningfully contribute to a dynamic and ever-evolving society.

And yet, it is deeply troubling that this fundamental right—this bedrock of advancement—remains increasingly out of reach for many.

What barriers have made education feel like a distant luxury and how can we dismantle them to empower the next generation?

The answer is painfully clear: we must confront and resolve the financial crisis that continues to hinder accessibility to education—a crisis that remains stubbornly unresolved.

It is disheartening to hear people say that poverty kills dreams. But is it truly poverty, or is it the educational systems that fail to accommodate those experiencing financial instability?

Too often, institutions set high academic and financial standards under the guise of excellence—standards that, whether intentionally or not, exclude bright and deserving individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds. Many schools and universities now seem more concerned with prestige and rankings than with inclusion and access. While scholarships and financial aid exist, they are often limited, competitive, and difficult to obtain.

I firmly believe that education is a right, not a privilege reserved for the wealthy. Yet, the current system frequently favors those born into financial security, leaving behind students with potential but lacking resources. Standardized testing, tuition fees, and limited aid disproportionately burden low-income learners, widening the gap between dreams and reality.

According to Article 26 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, everyone has the right to quality education. This right should not depend on one’s socioeconomic status. It should empower people to pursue their dreams—even amid financial difficulty—not deepen the divide between privilege and poverty.

Thus, we must stand at a crossroad. The education system must evolve from being a barrier to becoming a bridge—a source of empowerment where all individuals, regardless of their financial background, have access to quality learning.

Dreams should never be dictated by wealth. Poverty doesn’t kill dreams—systems that fail to provide equal opportunity do.

Let us break the stigma that quality education is reserved only for those who can afford it. Let us tear down the wall that separates ambition from access.

Everyone deserves to learn, to grow, and to dream—equally and fairly. Because if education remains a privilege, how can we ever end poverty? And if we don’t act now—then when?

𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒-𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓 | From Costumes to Creativity: NORSU-G embraces the ASEAN spirit

Strengthening cultural appreciation and honoring unity in diversity, students, faculty and staff of Negros Oriental State University-Guihulngan Campus graced the floor with elegance and sophistication as they showcased their traditional costumes for the 58th Founding Anniversary celebration of ASEAN, with the theme, "ASEAN: Inclusivity and Sustainability,” held at the campus gymnasium on August 20, 2025.

Beyond the vibrant parade of national attire, the celebration unfolded into a series of enriching activities designed to deepen awareness and appreciation of ASEAN including Poster and Slogan Making, Essay Writing, Vlog-Making Contest, ASEAN Quiz Bee, and the selection of the Best ASEAN Costume from the audience.

This year's celebration placed emphasis on promoting regional awareness and showcasing ASEAN’s culture and values, while nurturing creativity and critical thinking among participants and strengthening their understanding of the region’s political, social, and cultural dimensions.

“Collaboration over competition. [...] ASEAN is a celebration of who we are, where we belong, and what we can achieve then,” Dr. Philner P. Salindo, Assistant Campus Director for Administration, shared echoing the essence of ASEAN—not only as a political and economic union but a family bound by shared aspirations.

As the festivities drew to a close, the celebration stood as more than just an annual tradition. It became a reminder of ASEAN’s enduring legacy and a call to action—for governments, institutions, and people alike—to continually uphold the principles of peace, cooperation, and unity in diversity.

By celebrating ASEAN at 58, NORSU–Guihulngan not only reflected on the past but also looked forward, embracing a vision of inclusivity and sustainability for generations to come.
