KOLUM | Ang Liwanag sa ating Pagtindig: Isang Paalala sa aming mga Lider

Ang ating pamantasan ay ating tahanan—isang lugar kung saan hinuhubog ang ating mga isipan at pangarap. Bilang mga mag-aaral, tayo ang puso at kaluluwa ng komunidad na ito. Dito, sama-sama nating hinaharap ang mga hamon at inaabot ang ating mga mithiin para sa isang mas maliwanag na kinabukasan. Sa kabila ng mga suliranin, matibay ang ating tiwala sa isa't isa, sa ating mga lider, at sa sistemang sinasandalan natin.

Sa panahong nangingibabaw ang mga sigaw laban sa katiwalian sa ating lipunan, nagiging mulat tayo sa katotohanan. Ngunit paano kung sa mismong lugar kung saan hinuhubog ang ating mga isipan, sa ating pamantasan, ay may mga bagay na hindi natin lubos na nararamdaman? Paano kung sa loob ng ating unibersidad, may mga suliraning unti-unting lumalabas, lalo na sa pinakamataas na konseho ng mga mag-aaral—mga lider na galing din sa atin at para din sa atin.

Kamakailan, naramdaman ang bigat ng sitwasyon para sa mga mag-aaral na umaasa sana sa tulong ng scholarship mula sa lokal na pamahalaan. Ang aberya sa mga dokumento ay nagdulot ng pagkadismaya. Ngunit ang mas nagpaalab sa damdamin ng nakararami ay ang katahimikan ng ating mga lider. Sa mga diskusyon sa social media, naglitawan ang mga komento na nagpapahayag ng pagkabigo, na nagdulot ng takot at agam-agam. Ang pakiramdam na hindi pinakikinggan ay tunay na nakababahala.

Hindi ito paninisi, kundi paalala na may kapangyarihan tayo bilang mga mag-aaral—ang kapangyarihan na magtanong, magsalita, at makilahok. Kung naniniwala tayong may dapat linawin, ayusin, o ipaliwanag, sana'y magkaroon tayo ng lakas ng loob na magsalita. Hindi para magpatama, kundi para makahanap ng solusyon.

Naiintindihan namin ang bigat ng inyong posisyon bilang kinatawan ng konseho ng mga mag-aaral. Alam namin na kayo ay estudyante rin, na may sarili ring mga hamon at prosesong dapat sundin. Ngunit ang mga estudyanteng nagtiwala at bumoto sa inyo ay naghihintay. Ang kanilang paghihintay ay tanda ng tiwala na kayo, bilang aming mga kinatawan, ay maninindigan para sa amin. Kaya sa sitwasyong lantaran ang pagkabigo ng mga mag-aaral, hindi sapat ang salitang "pananagutan" o "pagkilos" nang walang malinaw na aksyon. Ang mga salitang iyan ay nagiging guwang kapag hindi sinasamahan ng tapang na magsabi ng totoo at ng lakas ng loob na manindigan. Ang inyong pagtindig sa panig ng mga lumalaban sa katiwalian ay nangangailangan ng tapat na aksyon sa inyong sariling panunungkulan sa pamantasan. Hindi lamang sa boses at lalim ng mga salita naipakikita ang pagkondena—kundi sa pagkilos nang naaayon sa mga tinuran at katuwiran. Ang pagsasantabi sa dapat pang pagtuunan ay kontradisyon sa pagtindig hinggil sa mga isyung panlipunan. Sa katotohanan, ang mga mag-aaral ang nagsisilbing pangunahing biktima ng katiwalian ng mga nasa kapangyarihan.

Naniniwala, ang ating boses, ang ating pagtindig, ay hindi para magwasak, kundi para magsilbing liwanag na magtutuwid sa ating mga maling nagawa. Ang pagiging kritikal ay hindi katunggali ng pagkakaisa. Katuwang ninyo ang mga mag-aaral at hindi kalaban. Magkasama, maaari nating ipaglaban ang interes ng komunidad, hindi sa pamamagitan ng paghihiwalay, kundi sa pamamagitan ng pag-uusap at pagtutulungan. Sa huli, pare-pareho naman tayong may layunin: ang makapagtapos at magkaroon ng magandang kinabukasan.

Ang kolum na ito ay hindi paninira. Sa halip, ito ay isang hamon at paalala. Ang paninira ay naglalayong magwasak, samantalang ang kritikal na pagsusuri ay naglalayong mag-ayos at bumuo. Ito ay simpleng pagninilay-nilay ng isang mag-aaral at mamamahayag na nagmamalasakit sa kapakanan ng kanyang komunidad. Nawa'y magsilbi itong tulay upang magsimula ang isang bukas at tapat na diskusyon sa pagitan ng mga estudyante at kanilang konseho.

Sa kalituhan, nangangailangan tayo ng kalinawan. Bilang mga mag-aaral ng pamantasan, ang bawat isa ay may pananagutan sa mga salitang binibitawan. Hindi kawalan sa ating katauhan kung maglalahad ng malinaw, direkta, at lohikal na pahayag o tugon sa isyu. Ito ay upang hindi na lumawak pa ang mga haka-haka at mabigyan ng konkretong paliwanag ang nananatili pa ring bukas na usapan. Bahagi ng pagiging isang estudyante at lider ang pagtindig sa tama. Bilang kapwa mag-aaral, kami ay naniniwala at umaasa na ang aming mga iniluklok sa posisyon ay gagawa ng aksyon. Saanmang anggulo, ang malabo ay bumubuo ng gulo. Sa kaguluhan, umuusbong ang iba't ibang nararamdaman.

Ang ating boses, ang ating pagtindig, ay hindi para magwasak, kundi para magsilbing liwanag na magtutuwid sa ating mga maling nagawa. Magbigay muli ng pagkakataon sa kalinawan tungo sa pagkakaisa, pagtutulungan, at pagkakaunawaan. Bilang mga mag-aaral, ang ating pinakamalaking responsibilidad ay hindi ang manahimik—kundi ang makisangkot at magpahayag. Ang pagsisiwalat ay nagmumulat. Ang liwanag ng ating pagtindig ay dapat na nakikita at naririnig.

Lubos na gumagalang,
Regulus

ABISO | Suspensyon ng Face-to-face Classes Dulot ng Habagat

Dahil sa masamang panahon bunsod ng pinalakas na Southwest Monsoon (Habagat), ang face-to-face classes sa lahat ng antas sa pampubliko o pribadong paaralan ay suspendido sa Bayan ng Mexico, ika-24 ng Septyembre 2025, ayon kay Mayor Rodencio "Ruding" Gonzales sa pamamagitan ng opisyal na page ng Bayan ng Mexico

Ang mga paaralan ay inaabisuhang magpatupad ng mga alternatibong pamamaraan ng pag-aaral bilang pamalit sa face-to-face classes upang magtuloy-tuloy ang pagkatuto ng mga mag-aaral.

Bilang tugon, ang Pampanga State University - Mexico Campus ay lilipat sa alternatibong modalidad ng online synchronous na klase bukas.

LITERARI | Bahain ng Sigawan ang Bayan!

Nasyonalismo, tangan sa puso ng Pilipino.
Ang bayang may alam, dapat may pakialam.
Sa gitna ng unos,
sigawan ang bubuhos.
Harap-harapang panloloko ng mga tiwali,
Ilalantad nang walang pag-aatubili.

Sa trilyon-trilyong mga salapi,
Binusog ang kanilang mga kalupi.
Habang tayo'y kumakayod para sa kakaunting sukli,
Hanggang halos ang mga likod ay mabali.

Ang bayan ay lubog na
Hindi lang sa baha kundi sa mga buwaya.
Patuloy nilang kinakamkam ang para sa masa,
Kaya't ang pagtindig ng mga mamamayan, sumisibol na.

Babahain ang Luneta,
Hindi ng kulay-putik na tubig,
Kundi ng mga sigawan ng mga tumitindig.
Ang iyak ng mga batang binaha, kanilang iparirinig.

Madilim na ang ating bansa,
Bawat Pilipino’y may mga sariling adhika.
“Mga trapo’y nararapat nang mawala!”
Sigaw ng mga Pilipinong anti-buwaya.

Ang mga ganid ay nagkakapalan't habaan na ang balat sungay;
Korapsyon ang patuloy na isinasabuhay.
Kaban ng bayan, sa bulsa nila nilalagay,
Pilipino, agrabyado na naman tayong tunay.

Nasa ating mga kamay ang tunay na kapangyarihan.
Matatanda man o mga kabataan ay lumaban!
Mga trapo’y alisin na sa kinauupuan,
Reporma ng bansa ang ating ipagsigawan.

Ngayong bukas na ang mga mata ng bawat isa,
Pilipinas, isalba sa mga buwaya!
Sama-sama na tayong sumigaw at makibaka,
Walang kukurap sa mga korap.
Ibalik ang ninakaw,
Pera iyan ng bayan.
Mahiya ka naman!

We, the student journalists of Pampanga State University, stand with the Filipino people as we commemorate the 53rd year since Martial Law was declared. Today, September 21, 2025, we condemn not only the dictatorship of the Marcos Regime but also the corruption that continues to betray our people in the present.

Across the nation, the people rise in defiance against systemic corruption, abuse of power, and the neglect of public welfare. The government’s flood control projects have recently come under scrutiny after the discovery of substandard and ghost projects worth billions of pesos, allegedly benefiting some lawmakers, Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) officials, and private contractors. DPWH Secretary Vince Dizon reported that losses from these anomalous projects could reach up to the trillions of pesos, as the Senate Blue-Ribbon Committee continues its investigation.

These are funds meant to protect the people, yet the wealth is siphoned to enrich the few while the majority remain in poverty. Just as the Marcos dictatorship plundered the nation while silencing dissent, today’s corruption steals resources meant to safeguard lives, leaving ordinary Filipinos to bear the consequences.

In the Province of Pampanga, flooding has become a persistent and devastating reality, no longer an occasional calamity but a normalized threat that submerges communities, schools, and roads. Despite billions of pesos allocated for flood control projects, defective structures, unfinished works, and misappropriated funds leave Kapampangans unprotected and at constant risk.

It is the resilience of the Kapampangan people alone that allows them to endure and rebuild, yet no community should be forced to survive at the mercy of their own perseverance while public resources meant to safeguard lives are diverted for personal gain.

As student journalists, we commit to reporting the truth, exposing injustice, and challenging corruption wherever it thrives. As youth, we refuse to stand by while our dreams, education, safety, and future are stolen—leaving us an inheritance of a nation built on greed, impunity, and betrayal.

And so, to remain silent is to betray the people we serve. We refuse to bow in complicity.

Today, September 21, as the Filipino people take to the streets to demand justice, transparency, and accountability, we stand in solidarity with the nationwide anti-corruption protests and movements. Just as the courage and collective action of the Filipino people brought an end to Martial Law decades ago, it is once again through protest, resolve, and unity that we assert our power against oppression and abuse. We denounce the rampant corruption that robs the people of their rights and defiles the foundations of our nation, enriching the few while condemning the many to suffering.

Let this serve as a warning: the power of governance does not rest in Malacañang, nor in the hands of corrupt officials, senators, or contractors. It belongs to the people—the very people who granted their office. It is about time they answer the masses' demand for a government that serves with integrity rather than steals with impunity. Resistance is necessary, and the fight for a just and accountable nation continues.

FEATURE | Pinned with Purpose, Driven by Dreams

Three years ago, they entered the university with dreams in their pockets and uncertainty in their hearts. Now, as pins rest proudly on their uniforms, every sleepless night, quiet prayer, and shared laughter lives within that moment.

The story began long before this day—back when they first walked through the university gates, carrying nothing but dreams and determination. At that moment, the path seemed blurry and uncertain, yet filled with endless possibility. This initial moment was followed by years of struggles and victories. Nights full of agony, adrenaline kicking moments before deadlines, and contemplative thoughts when quitting seems to be the easiest way out, but they continuously choose to stay. College life had been a mosaic of challenges and triumphs. Some days, doubts were louder than determination. But they choose to pave the way with a silent hope that all these will not end in vain. It is just a beginning of yet another journey.

And today, as deployment begins, the journey takes on a deeper meaning. Though hearts may tremble, they carry with them the faith that guided their steps, the lessons that shaped their minds, and the purpose that ignited their dreams. It is the kind of moment where dreams finally step outside the walls of the university and into the real world. The walls of the university have prepared them, but the world outside will refine them.

Armed with faith, resilience, and unshakable hope, they now walk forward—no longer just students, but builders of their own future.
