Every city has a story. Iloilo’s story is one of history, culture, resilience, and people.

Today we celebrate the City of Love and the things that make it special. We remember where we came from and look forward to where we are going.

Our illustration brings these stories together through simple and meaningful symbols. The seven pearls represent the seven districts of Iloilo. The city seal, City Hall, and tall buildings show a city that continues to grow and move forward. The
river, ships, and mangroves reflect Iloilo’s connection to water, trade, and nature.

The old buildings, San Jose Church, and the 1889 and 1937 markers remind us of our rich history. The anahaw represents the creativity and resilience of the Ilonggo people. Each element in the illustration is a small part of the bigger story of Iloilo.

As we celebrate Charter Day, may we continue to value our heritage and take pride in our city. Iloilo continues to grow while keeping its roots strong. Here’s to a city that we can all be proud to call home.

Ang Tuburan, the official student publication of the College of Agriculture, Resources, and Environmental Sciences (CARES) of Central Philippine University, joined the Campus Agricultural Reporters Capacity Enhancement Training and Collaboration on August 20, 2026, at Kalayaan Hall, Iloilo Grand Hotel.

Organized by the Department of Agriculture – Western Visayas through the Regional Agriculture and Fisheries Information Section (DA-RAFIS), Carrying the theme “Agriculture Stories for the Next Generation: Campus Agricultural Reporters Training on Responsible, Creative, and Ethical Communication,” the training convened aspiring campus agricultural reporters from seven higher education institutions across Iloilo, fostering collaboration and providing participants with opportunities to enhance their skills in agricultural storytelling and communication.

The activity aimed to equip students with essential skills in agricultural journalism, responsible storytelling, creative communication, and ethical reporting. It also provided a platform for young communicators to enhance their ability to effectively share relevant and meaningful stories about the agricultural sector.

Three Reapers emerged among the Best Agri Reporters during the training organized by the Department of Agriculture.

Ang Tuburan Broadcaster Ceyren Joenette Dagohoy secured 2nd Best Agri Reporter in the Critical Thinking and Design Thinking for Agri-Communication activity.

Meanwhile, Shane Dela Torre, the Managing Editor of Ang Tuburan was awarded 1st Best Agri Reporter in the Professional, Ethical, and Responsible Agricultural Communication activity. Together with BSA 4 student Jamelle Daisy Monares who also earned 3rd Best Agri Reporter in the same activity. The recognition highlights the skills and dedication of Reapers in promoting responsible and impactful agricultural communication.

For Izza Lopez, seeing student journalists from different schools come together was one of the most meaningful parts of the experience.

“Seeing aspiring student journalists from different schools come together was truly moving. We shared stories, worked as a team, and found a deeper purpose in telling stories about agriculture and the people behind it. It reminded me that every voice has the power to make a difference, especially when we speak for the ones who feed us, ” Lopez shared.

The experience left the Reapers with renowned purpose and lesson. That agricultural journalism is not only about telling stories—it is about giving people, especially those who feed communities, a voice that deserves to be heard.

" I have carefully weighed the virtues and the faults of the Filipinos, and I have come to conclusion that the Filipino is worth dying for.'' - Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr.

On November 27,1932, Benigno Aquino Sr. and Aurora Lampa-Aquino welcomed their second child in Concepcion, Tarlac. Giving their child the name : Benigno Simeon 'Ninoy' Aquino Jr. A name that would be forever etched in Philippine history.

As the child of a prominent land-owning family with seven children and a rich political history to show, young Ninoy learned to love being around people. As his biographies described, he enjoyed entertaining the family's visitors and giving speeches even at an early age.

Aquino was known for his intelligence, ambition,sense of justice and political skill. As young as 17 years old, Ninoy served as the youngest war correspondent in the Korean War for the Manila Times. For his feats as war correspondent, he was awarded the Philippine Legion of Honor, Degree Officer by President Quirino. During his time as correspondent, Ninoy was exposed to the evils of North Korea's communist totalitarian rule which could have strengthened his resolve against such rules.

From there, Ninoy entered into a long career of politics. Before even turning 23, he became the youngest mayor elected of his hometown Concepcion. In 1959, he became the youngest vice-governor at 27 and in 1961 became the youngest governor. Then later became the youngest of the elected senators in 1967.

Though Ninoy aspired to run for president following former president Ferdinand Marcos' second term, his aspirations were crushed when Marcos declared martial law in 1972. Aquino was among the opposition figures arrested by the government and was detained in Camp Crame and later in Fort Bonifacio. He spent years imprisoned, penning letters against the Marcos regime to show defiance against the abuses of power that had him earned solitary confinement and was eventually sentenced to death by firing squad. The sentence however was never carried out and Ninoy was even permitted to run the 1978 Interim Batasang Pambansa (Parliament) elections. There he formed the LABAN party list, though unsurprisingly despite the support LABAN garnered from the masses, the party got zero votes from Metro Manla and lost to Imelda Marcos.

Ninoy's prison time came to an end in March of 1980 when he suffered from a heart attack in his cell and was allowed to travel to the United States for medical treatment.

His exile was supposed to keep him away from the Philippine politics.

Instead it strengthened his determination to return.

Hence, despite protestations from his family and friends, Ninoy ultimately decided to return to the Philippines on August 21,1983. "I'd rather die a meaningful death than lead a meaningless life." was his response to these warnings that his return could put his life in danger. For he believed political crisis in the Philippines could not be solved from abroad and hopes of a chance to negotiate with Marcos.

Yet he never made it beyond he airport tarmac, and his hope of negotiating was never realized.

Aquino's assassination shocked the whole nation. More than a death of politician, it became a symbol of the growing resistance against the authoritarian rule and ignited a fire among members of the opposition. This tragic event helped awaken a public movement that would eventually culminate in the 1986 People Power Revolution and the restoration of Democratic government.

Ninoy Aquino therefore occupies a unique place in Philippine history. Though Ninoy died before he could achieve his aspirations, many were inspired to step up and continue to challenge dictatorship. Many questioned him if he believed Filipinos are worth dying for, and he believed it until the very end.

The question is no longer simply what Ninoy Aquino died for. The greater question is what Filipinos today are willing to do to ensure that the democracy he helped awaken does not become something our future generations only dream of.

𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡 | “𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲,” 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐀𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐏𝐚𝐱 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚?

Are we about to become the next global tech superpower, or are we quietly trading our resources and sovereignty for silicon?

Pax Silica is a global framework led by the United States (US), aiming to protect the supply chain for modern technology like computers, microchips, artificial intelligence (AI), and rare minerals. According to US president Donald Trump, the goal is to establish factories and data centers with its allied countries to reduce reliance on a single country, like China. Other members of this alliance include Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Australia, and the United Kingdom.

The term “Pax Silica” comes from the combined Latin word for “peace and stability” and "silicon." Together, the name represents a big plan by allied countries to keep the tech world stable and firm under their control. Just like past alliances that tried to keep global peace through a dominant superpower. Pax Silica is said to connect, secure factories, internet networks, and supply chains so that digital technology is protected from outside threats and sudden shortages.

Later on, the Philippines officially joined the Pax Silica initiative on April 16, 2026, as its 13th member, with the final deal expected to be signed in November 2026.

To take part in this big alliance, the Philippines is building a massive 4,000-acre tech city in New Clark City, Tarlac. Under the plan, about 1,619 hectares of land will be used for a high-tech industrial hub. To attract big foreign tech companies, the government is offering them tax breaks and cheap land leases while also giving partner countries first priority to mine the Philippines' natural supplies of nickel, copper, and cobalt.

However, building these massive tech hubs comes with a heavy price for local communities and the environment. These facilities need millions of gallons of water every day to stay cool, which can dry up local drinking supplies and affect farmers’ livelihoods. It also uses a lot of electricity, which can strain local power grids and raise electricity bills for everyday families. Furthermore, making computer chips creates electronic waste and uses dangerous chemicals that could leak into local rivers and soil if not carefully watched, potentially ruining farm lands and harming people's health. Local farmers and indigenous communities also face losing the land and homes they rely on for food and survival to make room for these tech sites.

The reality about Pax Silica is not simple at all. While it promises to offer a giant boost to our economy, the local costs are very heavy. This leaves the Philippines facing a critical choice about what kind of future we really want. In our rush to build tomorrow's technology, are we accidentally sacrificing the resources and communities that keep us alive today? If a big project promises to make our country rich but takes away the very land and resources that our people need to survive, then whose future are we actually building?

In the end, Pax Silica brings both big economic promises and heavy local costs. Because a project of this size affects everyone, staying silent means letting others make decisions for us. Being informed helps ordinary citizens speak up, demand transparency, protect the environment, and make sure leaders are held accountable.

And just like that, it’s a wrap!

Here’s a recap of our Christ Emphasis Week—a week filled with faith, fellowship, worship, and unforgettable moments.

Maybe we have become too used to this.

Too used to seeing people wade through floodwaters just to get home. Too used to families losing everything and being told to “stay strong, Kaya nyo na!” Too used to communities rescuing one another while waiting for help that should have been there in the first place.

We call it resilience.

But sometimes, resilience is just what people are forced to become when the system keeps failing them.

We fight fair.

We work. We follow the rules. We pay our taxes. We help our neighbors. We keep going even when life keeps taking from us.

And yet, somehow, the burden always seems to fall on the same people.

The people who have the least are the ones expected to endure the most.

We are told that floods are inevitable. That disasters are unavoidable. That we should simply prepare, adapt, and move on.

But how many times are we supposed to accept the same suffering before we ask why nothing changes?

Rain is natural.

But being repeatedly abandoned to its consequences should never be considered normal.

There are funds. There are plans. There are promises. There are people whose job it is to make sure communities are protected.

So why, after all these years, are ordinary people still the ones carrying the heaviest burden?

This is where the anger comes from.

Not because people expect a perfect government.

But because people are tired of doing everything they're supposed to do while watching those in power escape accountability when they don't.

We fight fair.

They have the power, the resources, and the authority to change things.

So why does it feel like the people are always the ones left to fight for survival?

This the one of the hardest reality check

We have praised Filipino resilience for so long that we sometimes forget to ask why Filipinos have been forced to be resilient in the first place.

People shouldn't have to be heroes just to survive.

They deserve to live.
