May kakaibang relasyon ang Pilipino sa ulan. May mga awiting nagpapaibig sa atin dito. May amoy ng basang lupa, malamig na hangin, kape sa bintana, at mga alaala ng panahong masarap sanang huwag nang tumila ang ambon. Isa sa pinakamagandang halimbawa nito ang Tuwing Umuulan at Kapiling Ka ni Ryan Cayabyab, isang awiting unang pinasikat ni Basil Valdez. “Pagmasdan ang ulan, unti-unting pumapatak.” Napakaganda ng linyang iyon kapag pag-ibig ang pinag-uusapan. Pero sa Pilipinas

Ang pagsusuot ng transparent bag ay isang solusyon na ginawa upang mapigilan ang pagdadala ng armas sa paaralan, Mas mapapadali at mapapabilis nito ang pag-iinspeksyon sa mga pumapasok sa eskwelahan. Tila napakagandang solusyon ito para pigilan ang pagdadala ng armas at maiwasan ang karahasan sa loob ng paaralan. Ngunit sa malinaw na bag, nakatago ang pinakamalalim na isyu. Mawawalan ng karapatan sa sariling gamit ang mga mag-aaral. Kung makikita ang lahat ng dala naming gami

‎A historic crossroads has come to the nation as Vice President Sara Duterte finds herself at the center of a legal problem over confidential money. This is the second time the second-in-command has stood before the Senate for a crucial impeachment trial. ‎ ‎Some issues revolving around VP Sara Duterte have been abuse of power and violation of the people’s trust due to misuse of money. The articles of impeachment have been officially approved by the House of Representatives.

‎Kada tag-ulan, isa na namang bangungot ang bumabalik sa mga Filipino: Ang baha. Tumaas ang mga lawa, inilubog ang mga kalsada, mga bahay, at mga kahoy. Ngunit sa likod ng mabilis na tumataas na tubig, may isa pang bagay pa ang hindi natin dapat palampasin—ang pondong inilaan para sa flood control na tila bigla na lang nawawala. ‎ ‎Bilyon-bilyon na piso ang inilalaan ng gobyerno para sa mga dike, drainage, pumping station at iba pang mga proyekto para iligtas ang bansa laban

Madugong pangyayari, sana mabigyan ng proteksyon habang pinahahalagahan ang edukasyon. Matapos ang insidenteng naganap nitong Hunyo 2026 sa Tacloban, hindi pa man humuhupas ang isyu, hindi inaasahang madugtungan ng panibago na namang suliranin sa Ateneo de Zamboanga Junior High School nitong ika-18 ng Agosto, matapos mamaril ng isang estudyante sa loob ng paaralan. Dalawang mag-aaral ang namatay, habang ang iba ay sugatan, sa pagtugon sa isyu—sinuspinde ang klase sa paaralan.

Ang paaralan ay dapat maging lugar kung saan malaya tayong natututo, nangangarap, at naghahanda para sa kinabukasan. Ngunit matapos ang shooting incident sa Ateneo de Zamboanga University, isang mahalagang tanong ang dapat nating harapin: Gaano ba talaga kaligtas ang ating mga paaralan? Para sa akin, hindi sapat na sabihing “malungkot ang nangyari” at pagkatapos ay magpatuloy na lamang na parang walang nangyari. May mga buhay na nawala at mga pamilyang habang-buhay na magdada

"Ang pangit ng mga palabas sa Pilipinas." As a Filipino, you've probably heard or even said that sentence at least once in your life. You turn on the TV, see the teleseryes airing, and find yourself wondering: Wait, how long has this series been going on again? Then you see a movie trailer. Same actors. Same actresses. Same love teams, now milked for the hundredth time. Same plots dressed up in slightly different clothes. Formulaic. Cringe. Boring. Predictable. Low quality. S

Have you ever experienced being overly excited after seeing a tub of the nostalgic cookies-and-cream-flavored ice cream sitting in the fridge, only to open it and find daing na bangus inside? Your childhood is not complete without experiencing that chaotic moment—followed by the inevitable disappointment when you realise your mother has once again committed the ultimate Filipino refrigerator plot twist. The ice cream container was never an ice cream container. It was called a

When you hear the word “research,” what do you think about? Maybe you think about the weeks spent writing your manuscript, the pages of related literature, the group chats reminding everyone about deadlines, or that one thing almost every research group eventually talks about: the defense. For many Filipino students, research is something we have learned to associate with long nights, revisions, and nervous presentations. But why does it take up so much space in our education

The test paper lands on the desk. The classroom suddenly becomes quieter than usual. Eyes scan the questions. Pencils stop moving. Foreheads wrinkle. Then comes the realization, “Hindi ko ’to na-review.” A deep breath. A nervous glance at the ceiling. And the most Filipino response to uncertainty is “Bahala na.” It is the unofficial prayer of the unprepared, the final words before entering an examination room, and the phrase whispered when the plan has been exhausted, and all

From the mountain, the sun does not ask permission. It rises, spills across the slopes, and turns thousands of solar panels into silent collectors of power. Below, Olongapo wakes beneath a landscape that is no longer defined only by trees and ridges, but by a new symbol of the country’s energy future. It is easy to call it green. After all, sunlight is clean. Solar panels do not burn coal to produce electricity. And for a country searching for alternatives to fossil fuels, ev

It takes only a few seconds to throw something away. A plastic bottle slips from the hand into a bin. A food container is sealed inside a garbage bag. A truck arrives, takes everything away, and the household is left clean. Problem solved. Or so it seems. In Subic, Zambales, the story of what happens after that moment is far more complicated. At Sitio Tibag in Barangay Naugsol, a growing mound of discarded things became part of the landscape—and part of the daily reality of t
