UST Student Publications Release Unity Statement Against La Stampa Censorship

In a collective show of solidarity, student publications across the University of Santo Tomas have released a unity statement condemning the censorship faced by La Stampa, the official student publication of the Senior High School. The move comes after advisers blocked the release of content on National Press Freedom Day, sparking widespread outrage within and beyond the campus.

The unity statement asserts that press freedom is not a privilege granted by those in power but a fundamental right that safeguards the truth and amplifies the voice of the student body. Silencing La Stampa is, in effect, silencing the students themselves.

This is more than a call to protest, it is a call to action. Students are urged to read, share, and amplify the statement, to rally their peers, organizations, and communities, and to stand firm against repression. The fight for a free and independent campus press is the fight for a democratic and truthful University.

READ: The UST Department of Journalism on Saturday, Sept. 6, expresses its solidarity with the staff and editors of La Stampa after the censorship of an unpublished editorial cartoon.

The department said the move “directly contradicts the principles of free speech and freedom of expression.”

“Any interference by administrators or advisers threatens not just the upholding of the press, but also the democratic values of transparency, accountability, and freedom of expression within our University,” it added.

Habang lumalamig ang hangin

Setyembre na.
Ramdam mo ba?
Habang lumalamig ang hangin,
May kakaibang himig na sumasabay sa bawat hinga.
Tahimik, ngunit buo.
Dumarating na parang tanong:
“Handa ka na ba?”

Si Jose Mari Chan, parang multo ng Pasko.
Dumarampi, pero hindi pa lubos.
Sumisilip sa bintana,
Paalala na ang saya ay paparating na.
Tahimik ang kanyang kanta sa paligid,
Parang lihim na paanyaya sa dulo ng taon.

Pero hindi lang musika ng Pasko ang hatid ng Setyembre.
Kasabay nito ang pagbabalik ng ingay sa unibersidad:
Ang kape sa ikatlong tasa,
Ang panalangin sa huling sulyap bago pumasok sa sariling silid,
At ang bawat pahina ng binabasang ‘di pa tapos,
Tahimik mang laban, may halong pag-asa’t ligaya.

Pero sa gitna ng lahat ng ito,
Pagod, pangarap, pagsusulit, puyat, at mga luhang naitatago,
May dumadapong tanong: Kaya pa ba?
Tahimik, pero mabigat,
Parang ulan sa España, bigla at walang pasabi,
Ngunit sa likod ng dilim, may liwanag na unti-unting sumisilay,
Handang gabayan ka patungo sa bukang-liwayway.

Nariyan ang Setyembre na bumubulong,
“Tuloy lang.”
Kahit basang-basa ang sapatos,
Kahit pa ika’y mapagod.
At sa dulo ng lahat ng ito,
May parol na magliliwanag,
May amoy na magpapagaan ng gabi,
At may Paskong matiyagang naghihintay sa tabi.
