"Mas mahirap ka nang mahalin, Arki"

For how long have I dreamed of being a student of Bicol University, how I've worked hard to earn a spot here in the Institute of Design and Architecture, and sacrificed things just to stand in the very university many have fought hard to be part of. But little did I know, the same prestigious school that I once dreamed of would be the very school that would make an already demanding program much harder to bear.

Architecture students are expected to create and design spaces. Ironically, we are expected to create the very thing that we ourselves don't have, not by choice, but by circumstance. I have experienced it firsthand. I have seen with my own two eyes how students struggle; how they suffer from the lack of facilities—things that should have been there to support and nurture us, yet were missing. And if there are any, surely they stand as a proof of how they have been tested by time.

A lot of students were given the opportunity to study and be part of this program, but the very facilities meant to accommodate them do not equate to the number of students the Institute has. Yes, we are just like other colleges, we are also given assigned rooms for certain subjects. However, due to the limited rooms available, I have seen how the silent rule of "First come, first serve" prevails among different blocks because here, room assignments does not count as one as the real assignment, depends on who comes first.

If you are that unlucky enough, brace yourselves because classes will be held not in a room, but under a tent. The place that should have been used as a road and was destined as a passage for cars is now the place where drafting tables, chairs, and students are situated. Unfortunately, it had become one of the spare classrooms for us students, with just a tent as our protection against rain or shine. Having that setup is just fine, not until the rain pours, bags get wet, and plates where hours of hardwork were spent get soaked.

With the current status we are in, demanding for things that we deserve is what should be done. Yet, in this country, doing so is not even considered right because of the ideology set by society that the people ahead of us have managed to survive the situation we are currently in and even went through worse cases than what we are experiencing. This is not a comparison of struggles nor a battle between two suffering generations because we are tired of hearing the same exact words, "Kami nga, eh!" They have suffered, but that doesn't mean they should not do anything to resolve the issue for the next ones to also experience the same exact thing they have gone through. We are suffering, so we should do something for the next young dreamers to not be in the same situation we are in and have been through.

This also needs to stop from being seen as a "Public school stigma," because when did that became an excuse for the negligence of providing the things that should naturally be given to students? We may have entered a public school, but we did so through perseverance, preparation, and determination. So it is only right to demand things that should equate to our efforts just to be here, because providing quality education does not end with teaching us; it starts with giving us the best environment to fully grasp and understand the teachings they give us.

𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗞 | Krokis 14th Generation Convenes for 1st General Assembly, Welcomes New Editorial Staff

Legazpi City — The Krokis Publication's 14th Generation held its first General Assembly on September 5, 2026, at the Bicol University Institute of Design and Architecture (BUIDeA) Annex Hall, East Campus.

The assembly followed the successful conduct of the Krokis Editorial Staff Examination (KRESEX) held the previous week, which served as the primary recruitment process for incoming editorial staff.

During the assembly, the Editorial Board walked the newly recruited staff through the publication's editorial policy, discussing its nature and the principles that guide Krokis' work as BUIDeA's campus publication. The orientation aimed to ground incoming members in the values and standards expected of them as they take on their roles within the organization.

The General Assembly also served as a comprehensive orientation on the publication's plans for the school year. The newly recruited staff were given the opportunity to introduce themselves creatively, alongside the members of the Editorial Board, an icebreaker moment that allowed the incoming batch to begin building camaraderie with the team they'll be working alongside for the year.

𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻 𝗢𝗹𝗮

On September 2, 2026, Albay proudly commemorates the 161st birth anniversary of General Simeon Ola, a figure whose courage and loyalty remain etched in the nation’s memory. Born in Guinobatan, he rose from humble beginnings to become a revolutionary leader, joining the Katipunan and fighting valiantly against Spanish forces. His determination carried him into the Philippine-American War, where he led guerrilla fighters with resilience, refusing to surrender even when others had laid down their arms.

General Ola’s story is not only one of battles fought but of values upheld. He became known for his elusiveness, his ability to inspire his men, and his refusal to abandon them in the face of adversity. His eventual surrender was not a defeat but a testament to his compassion, as he agreed only under the assurance of fair treatment for his comrades. This act of loyalty marked him as the last Filipino general to surrender, a distinction that underscores both his bravery and his humanity.

Today, Simeon Ola Day is more than a holiday, it is a reminder of the strength, unity, and resilience that define the Filipino spirit. His life teaches us that true heroism is not measured by how long one fights, but by the unwavering love for country and people that endures through time.

General Simeon Ola’s legacy is proof that freedom is never surrendered, it is carried forward by every generation that remembers.
