The Busy Bee, Mc Arthur Highway, Brgy. Guinhawa, Malolos (2025)

𝐀 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐞-𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥!

In the roaring setbacks of life, when does a person truly reign as victor?

There is silence before the storm. Hushed voices were waiting, headbowed in anticipation. The clock ticks like a war drum before the climax of a game, adrenaline coursing through the players’ veins. Breaths are held.

Then comes release.

A birthday, in its own right, mirrors the rush felt in a tournament. Goals are hit, coaches celebrate the team’s success, and finally, an ebb of happiness is felt within the heart of the star player. Ms. Lara Veline G. Aldaba is a testament to this case.

Her special day is one of wonder and fulfillment. Today, The Busy Bee does not just celebrate its esteemed Sport Writer’s birthday but also commemorates a lesson she teaches to all of us—a message of hope. Clarity brought up a certain question.

Despite the endless challenges and contests of life, Ms. Lara consistently emerges victorious. Success is not determined by the number of goals or the scoreboard where chalk crumbles. It is in the way a person moves forward, a chin held high in resilience. Her smile is one of determination and faith—a victor’s trademark against whistles of defeat.

May Ms. Lara’s special day be filled with mirth and her peers. May the adrenaline continue to course through her veins one victory at a time. The world of sports needs its purveyor; Ms. Lara is the poet of the bustling rounds.

From The Busy Bee to you, Ms. Lara, we hum you a bee-lated bee-day!

We wish you all the success to take off with us, whether it’s with a pen, pencil, paper, camera, screen, or your voice. May we carry out our responsibilities in the fields where our pollen is necessary for their abundance to spread.

We still wait warily as the next mist of dawn and golden light emerges from the sun once more. Cheers to the journey that lies ahead for you all as the flowers bloom and the seasons change!

Today, we celebrate the bee-day of our Broadcasting Director, Ms. Reana Mikaela C. Figueroa, whose voice, vision, and leadership radiate as the spotlight she inspires us to stand under.

She is the epitome of the genuine spirit of broadcasting: clarity, confidence, and connection. She herself empowers us to let our voices be heard, regardless of how vastly strong the winds may blow. Like a bee that never tires, she motivates persistence, resilience, and ebullience in every broadcast we share.

On this not merely special but wondrous day, may your hive be filled with blessings, and may the sweetness of your assiduity return to you a hundredfold.

We appreciate your commitment to leading us with heart, strength, and vision. May you continue to take flight without boundaries and spread your golden influence wherever you go.

From The Busy Bee to you, Ms. Reana, we hum you a buzzing bee-day!

𝐀 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐞-𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥!

Today, we celebrate the bee-day of our Filipino publication adviser, Ms. Reishela Lae B. De Castro, whose laughter evokes the enchantment of Ibong Adarna, whose courage follows the path of Flerida with serene certainty, whose presence offers the same refuge Tiya Isabel gave, and whose wisdom bears the determination of Simoun, not faltering when conviction is called for.

As one of the guiding hands of the publication, she nurtures voices and shapes narratives with remarkable precision. No wonder—she herself was once a student journalist who excelled in broadcasting, her words not only comforting but resonant, sharp in enunciation and weighted with meaning.

Within the walls of the sophomores’ classrooms, she stands as a compass to her students, directing them toward growth. She transforms every environment into a sanctuary—informative, vibrant, and alive—her presence felt not only in lessons but also in the proudest cheers she provides whenever her advisory class takes the stage in club events.

During this celebration, we admire her patience, which glowed steadily, a flame amid the fog, while her kindness broke the dark like a sunrise touching the morning dew. Truly, she is the kind of person who steadies the rush of a day just beginning.

From The Busy Bee to you, Ma’am Lae, we hum you a buzzing bee-day!

TIGILAN ANG PAGTIKTIK AT INTIMIDASYON SA MGA PERYODISTA NG BAYAN. LABANAN ANG ANUMANG URI NG REPRESYON AT TANGKANG CENSORSHIP SA MIDYA.

PAHAYAG NG PAGKAKAISA NG PLARIDEL GUILD SA PAGTIKTIK AT HARASSMENT NG ESTADO KAY CAIRO SANDOVAL AT ANG ILANG BESES NA REDTAGGING NA NAGANAP SA CENTRAL LUZON STATE UNIVERSITY

Ang Plaridel Guild ay alyansa ng mga publikasyon sa Bulacan State University na kapwa tumitindig at kumukundena laban sa naganap na pag-harass at pagtiktik ng dalawang ‘di kilalang lalaki sa founding member ng Independent Campus Journalists’ Union for Press Freedom (ICJUPF) at senior staffer ng CLSU Collegian na si Justine Ace ‘Cairo’ Sandoval.

Setyembre 10 nang nilapitan ng dalawang sibilyan ang mga magulang ni Cairo na nagpakilalang mga tauhan sa ilalim ng National Tak Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) kasabay ang mga nakadududang deskripsyon patungkol sa ‘di umano’y pagkakaalam nila sa itsura at tirahan ni Cairo at ng kaniyang pamilya. Maging sa loob ng kanilang kampus ay mayroon ring naganap na pagtatanong-tanong patungkol sa kaniya.

Kritiko ng estado si Cairo. Kalakip ng kaniyang gampanin bilang mamamahayag ay ang maghatid ng balita patungkol sa danas at pakikibaka ng mamamayan, mapaloob o labas man ng kanilang pamantasan. Gayunpaman, hindi dapat kadugtong ng ating pagiging peryodista ang palagiang pangamba at takot sa ating buhay kapag tayo ay nagbabalita lang naman ng pawang katotohanan.

Dagdag pa rito, ito na rin ang ikatlong kaso ng redtagging, harassment, at surveillance na naganap sa CLSU mula Abril hanggang sa kasalukuyang buwan. Tahasan ang ginagawang panunupil ng estado sa mga mamamahayag ng bayan na siya ring direktang paglabag sa karapatan at kalayaan ni Cairo at ng iba pa. Pinagsasawalang-bahala ng mga hakbang na ito ang umiiral na batas ng Campus Journalism Act of 1991 at kung hindi natin ito aalmahan ay mananatili lamang itong mga salitang nakalimbag na hindi kinatatakutan ng mga tutang parak.

Ang Plaridel Guild ay mariing kumukundena sa anumang uri ng redtagging na nakapukol sa aming mga kapwa mamamahayag. Gayundin, aming ipinararating ang pagtindig kasama ng CLSU Collegian at lahat ng mga mamamahayag sa kanilang pamantasan. Amin ding inuudyukan ang iba pang publikasyon ng gitnang Luzon na tumindig laban sa intimidasyong ito. Sama-sama nating itakwil ang tangkang panunupil ng estadong labis na takot sa ating mga pluma na ang tanging ginagawa lamang ay ang maghayag ng katotohanan.

DROWNED, BUT NEVER SILENCED: STUDENT JOURNALISTS WILL CONTINUE TO AMPLIFY THE CALL FOR ACCOUNTABILITY OF BULAKENYOS

UNITY STATEMENT OF PLARIDEL GUILD ON THE CAMPUS WALKOUT OF BULACAN STATE UNIVERSITY’S STUDENTS AGAINST FLOOD CONTROL ANOMALIES

Plaridel Guild, the official alliance of student publications in Bulacan State University, stands in solidarity with all the students who will join the campus walkout that will happen tomorrow, September 19, to protest against the flood control anomalies that have been plaguing the country and its people for the past few weeks.

Various municipalities across our province have been flooded by the past storms and rains, which never seem to end. Bulacan has been robbed of billions of pesos from the taxpayers’ money, as well as the dreams and hopes for a better future. This alleged series of corruption directly impacts the safety and welfare of every Bulakenyo, of every Filipino—and now is our time to rise.

As the truth seems to remain hidden and distorted, BulSU’s campus journalists will remain to watch over the news and keep telling the stories of our fellow Bulakenyos who are constantly submerged, not only by floodwaters, but also by the greed of the ‘public servants’ who have only ever served themselves.

We, the Plaridel Guild, also urge the BulSU administration to stand with us in solidarity. Our institution is home to thousands of scholars who will tirelessly amplify the call for accountability and transparency. This fight concerns our student body directly, and so it is only right to join the students in their pursuit to demand a thorough investigation into these anomalies.

And as student journalists, whose pens have been sharpened through the truths and stories we are bound to keep on telling, we will keep on documenting this movement with integrity and commitment.

Let this be a story of truth, hope, and justice—and no matter how difficult, we ought to write it as it is.

English or Filipino mediums are available for all paths! What matters most is the discipline to grow, the passion to create, and the courage to fly.
