As per COMELEC policies, every candidate and party are given 5 days to clean and retrieve their campaign materials after election day. However, even years have passed, many of these materials are still hanging on public places or scattered in the wind, and when left unchecked for a longer time, it becomes an environmental threat.

Our history is just an accessory to a country that hasn’t even been remarkable for a lot of things. Not many people seem to understand the extent of what our nation could be if we were wise enough to choose peace over prominence.

Like sapa or ‘river’, family dysfunction manifests in both visible and concealed ways; some are messed up that everyone can see the rippling current across the surface, while others are better at hiding it, and unless you’re in the same stream, there’s still riptides that you can’t see.

Gumagalaw ang kapayapaan, at sa bawat kilos nito ay mapapanatiling buhay ang kasaysayan. Kaya mahalagang isapuso na ang EDSA People Power Revolution, isang pambuong-piraso ng kasaysayan, ay hindi kailanman magagapi ng kahit anong panahon o puwersa.

The Viscan Student Body has been criticized time and time again to be rather apathetic. It’s been characterized as, although vocal, but timid. Its qualms manifested as a rabid choir of disparate voices, numerous but unorganized, often only addressed when a higher university official deems it important enough to recognize. This certainly seems true especially now with the re-election for the USSC and CSSC, as its initial being declared as “null and void” as it failed to even reach quorum; and the worst part behind it— is that a quorum is defined by the Student Electoral Board (SEB) to simply be 50% of the student body plus one. 

These budget cuts are a continuous blatant show of disrespect and incompetence  of  the government despite the multiple promises of providing accessible and quality education for all.

Distance is a significant challenge for many students in VSU, given its land area. Lucky for those whose classes are in one building, but this is VSU we're talking about, classroom availability is scarce. Students travel kilometers from one class to another with hectic schedules, not to mention some walk with heels on their school shoes. If the Tuyok system works, it could have been a  convenient solution for students by providing a dependable mode of transportation to bridge the gap between distant locations, ensuring timely arrival at classes and activities.
