"Are We Safe Anymore? The Urgent Call for Justice in the Philippines"
In this day and age, the safety of Filipinos is being tested by a wave of alarming incidents—from the senseless killing of motorcycle riders to the rising cases of sexual violence, bullying, and school violence. These tragedies have left many wondering if our country is becoming a safer place for its people.

Legal Advice ni Ate Vice: Pagtigil sa Suporta sa Anak; Hindi Lang Isyu ng Pera, Maaari Ring Maging Economic Abuse
Isa sa mga pinakamadalas kong matanggap na tanong mula sa mga hiwalay o hindi kasal na magulang ay ito: "Attorney, tumigil na sa pagbibigay ng suporta ang ama ng anak ko. Maaari ko ba siyang kasuhan?" Ang sagot ay oo, ngunit mahalagang maunawaan na hindi iisa ang maaaring legal na remedyo sa ganitong sitwasyon. Sa ilalim ng Family Code ng Pilipinas, may obligasyon ang mga magulang na suportahan ang kanilang mga anak. Ang suporta ay hindi kusang-loob na tulong lamang. Isa iton

Laban sa Diskriminasyon
Batas at hustisya. Dalawang salita lamang ito, ngunit may malalim na kahulugan para sa taumbayan. Bakit nga ba tila ipinagkakait ng mga nasa kapangyarihan ang pantay na panghuhusga at pagtrato sa mga nasa ilalim nila? Ito ang tanong na bumabagabag sa ating isipan: Kailan nga ba matatapos ang ganitong uri ng diskriminasyon sa Pilipinas? Wala na bang karapatan ang karaniwang Pilipino na ipaglaban ang sarili? Nakasaad sa Konstitusyon ng 1987, Artikulo III, Seksyon 1: "Walang sin

The Effect of Too Much Social Media on Students
Nowadays, many students spend a lot of time on social media. Apps like TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram are very popular in the Philippines. It is fun to watch videos and talk to friends, but using it too much can also cause problems. Many students are staying awake late at night because they keep scrolling on their phones. Because of this, they become sleepy in school, and sometimes they cannot focus in class. Some students also compare themselves to other people online, whic

Binahang Pag-asa
Isa sa mga mabibigat na problemang kinakaharap ng maraming Pilipino ay ang malalakas na pag-ulan na nagdudulot ng malalaking pagbaha. Isang tanong ang madalas marinig at hinahanapan ng kasagutan: “Nasaan na ang mga pondong inilaan para sa flood control?” Bilyong-bilyong halaga at maraming panahon ang inialay para sa proyektong dapat ay magsisilbing proteksyon sa karamihan. Paano kung isa na rin sa mga problemang ating kinakaharap ay ang mga proyekto at pangakong napapako? Kar

Pax silica: progress should not cost the downfall of nature
Philippines is very rich in natural resources, and many Filipinos rely on them. From prosperous rice fields to bountiful bodies of water, where farmers and fishermen get our products. But the real question is: is it worth selling for? Pax Silica is a company that produces silica sand, which we can use in making glass, solar panels, and some gadgets like computer chips that can enhance the use of artificial intelligence and other computer-based work. In addition, it will

Flood Control o Flood of Questions?
Tuwing may bagyo, tila ba paulit-ulit na lamang ang eksena sa Pilipinas. Nalulubog ang mga kalsada, inaanod ang mga tahanan, at nalalagay sa panganib ang buhay ng libu-libong Pilipino. Ngunit ang mas nakalulunod kaysa sa baha ay ang tanong na hanggang ngayon ay wala pa ring malinaw na sagot: Nasaan ang bilyun-bilyong pisong inilaan para sa flood control? Hindi maliit na halaga ang ginagastos ng taumbayan para sa mga proyektong ito. Taon-taon ay may mga inilalaang pondo para s

Decongesting The Classroom With The New Curriculum
The Department of Education (DepEd) made some major changes in the DepEd curriculum; they fully implemented a three-term school calendar for the beginning of the school year 2026-2027, which was published on March 23, 2026. This is a major structural reform that aimed to improve learning delivery while still maintaining the required number of school days, and the transmutation of grades will also still be used through an adjusted conversion table, under which a raw grade

Swipe, Scan, Spend: Are Digital Payments Making Filipinos Spend More?
A few years ago, leaving your wallet at home almost guaranteed that you could not buy anything. Today, a phone may be enough. A student can buy lunch, a commuter can pay for a ride, and a customer can order something online with only a few taps. This has become increasingly common in the Philippines. E-wallets have changed the way people handle everyday transactions, making payments quicker and more convenient. However, as money slowly moves from physical bills to digital num

Legal Advice ni Ate Vice: Maaari Bang Pigilan ng Ospital ang Paglabas ng Pasyente Dahil Hindi Pa Bayad ang Hospital Bill?
Isa sa mga pinakamasakit na sitwasyong maaaring maranasan ng isang pamilya ay ang pagkakaospital ng isang mahal sa buhay. Bukod sa pag-aalala sa kanyang kalagayan, madalas ay nadaragdagan pa ito ng problema sa napakalaking gastusing medikal. Kaya hindi na bago sa akin ang tanong na ito: "Attorney, ayaw pong i-discharge ng ospital ang aking ama dahil hindi pa namin kayang bayaran ang hospital bill. Legal po ba iyon?" Ang sagot ay may batayan sa batas. Sa ilalim ng Republic Act

Views vs. Truths: When Content Meets Consequence
There is an old saying in journalism: Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not to their own facts. In 2026, that distinction became painfully relevant after a public clash between veteran journalist Kara David and content creator Boss Toyo over Ibinasurang Paraiso, GMA Public Affairs' investigative documentary exposing an alleged illegal dumpsite operating within protected Aeta ancestral domain in Sitio Tibag, Subic. For weeks, Kara David and her team documented the

Behind Every Rider's Helmet
"Buntis po ang asawa ko, huwag niyo po ako sanang saktan..." A written note that was stuck on his helmet, simple words, yet it indicates that every motorcycle driver needs to beg for them to be safe. On a busy road in Caloocan, heavy traffic everywhere can be very irritating and can cause us to be impatient, and it is now common to have road rage. One rider writes a message on the back of his helmet, a plea for every passenger who might cross his path. And it made people real
