Pitong taon na mula nang maaresto si Frenchie Mae Cumpio. Isang yugto na patuloy na sinusukat ng panahon habang nananatiling bahagi ang kanyang kuwento bilang mamamahayag.

Sa paggunita ng EDSA, kasabay nito ang pagalaala na ang kalayaan ay hindi lamang bahagi ng nakaraan, kundi isang patuloy na usapin pang-kasalukuyan.

OPISYAL NA PAHAYAG NG iWRITE PARA SA EDSA40

Patunay ang EDSA People Power Revolution na nasa masa palagi ang tunay na kapangyarihan. Ipinapakita nito na kayang-kaya natin mag rebolusyon. Na ang sino o ano mang mapang-api ay kaya nating patalsikin.

Nagsimula ang EDSA People Power Revolution o EDSA I noong Pebrero 22, 1986 at nagtapos noong Pebrero 25, 1986. Ito ang naging wakas sa 20-taong diktadurya ni Ferdinand Marcos.

Lumaban at patuloy tayong lumalaban dahil alam natin na nagsisimula ang karahasan at kasakiman sa isang bulok na sistema. Sa gitna ng imbestigasyon ng International Criminal Court (ICC) laban kay dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte, ang kanyang anak na si Sara Duterte ay nagpahayag na magpapatakbo ito bilang pangulo sa taong 2028. Hahayaan ba natin na magpatuloy ang pulitikang nakasandig sa dahas at pananakot?

Hindi ba’t itinuro sa atin ng EDSA na mapanganib ang pagbabalik ng kapangyarihan sa mga pamilyang may kasaysayan ng dahas at karahasan?

Kaya ang diwa ng EDSA People Power Revolution ay hindi lamang alaala ng nakaraan. Isa rin itong paalala sa kasalukuyan. Paalala na kapag ang kapangyarihan ay inaabuso, kapag ang pondo ng bayan ay hindi na malinaw ang paggamit, at kapag ang pananagutan ay iniiwasan, may kakayahan at karapatan ang mamamayan na manindigan.

Dahil ang mensahe ng EDSA ay malinaw: walang sinumang makapangyarihan ang higit pa sa kapangyarihang hawak ng masa. Kaya sa harap ng mga panawagang panagutin ang mga opisyal ng gobyerno, kasama na ang usapin ng impeachment, hindi ito simpleng bangayan ng pulitika. Usapin ito kung papanigan ba natin ang kultura ng pananagutan o ang kultura ng paglimot.

‘Di hamak na ang sambayanang Pilipino ay may kakayahang mag-isip at gumawa ng tama. Sa pamamagitan ng pakikilahok sa mga kilos na makakapagsulsol ng pagbabago sa ating lipunan.

Sa pagkilala sa mga karanasan ng mga dakilang mamamayan—sa pagbigay ng halaga sa kanilang ipinaglaban—naipapamalas natin ang diwa ng Sambayanang Pilipino; sama-sama na ipanawagan ang nararapat na hustisya.

Sa ating paggunita ng ika-40 anibersaryo ng EDSA People Power Revolution, alalahanin natin na ang demokrasya ay ipinaglaban at patuloy na ipinaglalaban. Dahil ang tunay na parangal sa mga nagmartsa noon ay ang pagiging mapagmatyag ngayon.

Kaya ngayong People Power, inaanyayahan namin kayo, mula sa iWrite, na huwag nating hayaang maging tahimik na alaala lamang ito. Gawin natin itong kolektibong panawagan para sa hustisya, katotohanan, at tunay na demokrasya. Para sa mga manunulat, mamamahayag, radio men, at estudyanteng manunulat na manindigan para sa diwang mapagpalaya at makabayang pagbabalita.

Ipakita natin na buhay ang diwa ng EDSA. Sapagkat ang People Power ay hindi isang araw lamang sa kasaysayan. Ito ay isang patuloy na paninindigan. At sa bawat pagtitipon, sa bawat sigaw, at sa bawat taas kamao, muling nabubuhay ang kapangyarihan ng masa.

Art in the Age of AI: Where Do We Draw the Line?

The arts have always evolved alongside technology. From paint to photography, from film to digital media. Today, artificial intelligence has entered the creative space, challenging long-held ideas about human expression and art itself.

But does this creation alone define art? With the growing presence of AI in the arts industry, the line between human creativity and machine assistance becomes blurred. At what point does AI become a tool, and when does it begin to replace the artist? Can art exist without human intention, emotion, and lived reality behind it?

Through this vox pop, iWrite opens the conversation: Where do you draw the line in defining what can be truly considered art in the age of AI?

MEDIA AS ART, MEDIA FOR TRUTH

Art has always been rooted in the lives of people. It comes from everyday experiences, struggles, joys, and collective memory. Art reflects how people see the world and how they make sense of it. Media, as an art form, carries these lived realities through stories, images, and voices that shape public understanding.

Because the media is rooted in human experience, it holds the power to either honor truth or distort it. In an age overwhelmed by misinformation and disinformation, media as art becomes a crucial space of resistance. False narratives often erase context and exploit emotion. Purposeful media, grounded in real lives and verified truths, restores depth, empathy, and meaning.

Media as art does not simply inform. It translates lived experiences into stories that people can recognize, relate to, and question. When creativity is guided by truth, it can expose misleading narratives, challenge manipulation, and give voice to those often silenced by misinformation. Art becomes a bridge between facts and human understanding.

iWrite believes that ethical storytelling begins with responsibility to the people behind the stories. To create media is to engage with real lives, real consequences, and real influence. Every act of writing and publishing participates in shaping how communities think, remember, and respond.

By treating media as art with purpose, iWrite commits to using storytelling to combat misinformation and disinformation. We believe that truth gains strength when it is expressed with care, context, and creativity. Media rooted in the lives of people has the power to dismantle falsehoods and foster informed discourse.

In a world crowded with distortion, media as art must remain grounded. When art stays connected to human experience and accountable to truth, it becomes a force for understanding. Through intentional creation, iWrite affirms that the media can protect reality, honor lived experience, and stand firmly against deception.

| The West Visayas State University (WVSU) College of Communication (COC) through its official student publication, The Mediator, hosted a forum titled “From Campus to Communities: Student Journalism for the people,” last January 24, at the D.N.D CO-working space in Jaro, Iloilo.

In partnership with Panay Times and the Public Affairs, Marketing, and Communication Office (PAMCO), the event featured FYT PH founders Voltaire Tupaz, and Atom Araullo, veteran journalists and documentarist, and the Managing Editor of CoverStory Jun Bandayrel, whose mission are centered to communities and the people.

One of the major focus of the forum was visual storytelling, which Araullo deepened as one of the essential mediums to deliver urgent messages quickly and effectively, that reminds audiences of realities and not just information, based on his insights from his experience in visual storytelling and documentary works.

On the other hand, Tupaz encouraged journalists to produce stories that reflect real life issues and can speak change, urging them to pursue meaningful narratives and adhere to ethical standards by verifying facts, respecting the dignity of their subject, and making responsible choices amid the temptations and pressure journalists face, even at the campus level.

Bandayrel also mentioned the relevance of supporting student journalists, challenges them to continue documenting local issues, and presented promising works of WVSU students published on CoverStory, recognizing that there is so much promise in the landscape of Journalism in the Philippines.

With attendees from different schools across Panay, the University of the Philippines Visayas university-wide publication iWrite, represented by Rian Ysabel Escorpiso and Roisa Joy, first and second year communication and media studies students, was invited to the forum, highlighting the event’s broad reach and relevance to student journalists in the region.

The COC believed that these events will encourage students to expand beyond campus reporting, connect with community issues more, and capitalized the power of student media in promoting awareness and change.
