Lider sa Papel
Bilang isang student leader, may kanya-kanya tayong rason kung bakit natin piniling maluklok sa puwesto at manguna sa pagsisilbi. Ang ilan, marahil, ay para makalikom ng mga mga kasanayang maghuhulma sa intelektwal at personal na kakayahan. Ang iba, gustong makasalamuha ng iba’t ibang tao o makabuo ng pagkakaibigan sa labas ng apat na sulok ng silid-aralan. […]
Why you should vote
In the face of adversity, we had to learn the hard way what “student leadership” means, and lack thereof.

Kahol ng isang tuta
Kumakaluskos sa sulok ang kanyang mga paa. Umaalingasaw ang kalawang ng kadena sa kaniyang leeg. Ang kanyang mga munting ungol ang gumagambala sa bawat nagdaraang anino at yabag. Katulad ng nasa isang pambatang tula, mahaba ang kaniyang buntot. Malaki ang kaniyang katawan. Siya’y masunurin at mabalbon. Bulok na sistema ang kaniyang agahan. Makasariling mga pinuno […]
On TALAKAY, the University Student Elections Debate
Like my fellow students who were at the Ugnayang La Salle (ULS) on Wednesday, May 2, for TALAKAY: The 2018 University Debate, I was also disappointed that the questions for the University Student Council candidates were limited to three only during the Open Forum, when in fact there were more than three students who […]
