Rape is worth the alarm

What does it mean to live in a society where “rape culture” exists? I found out on-field when I was covering a local breaking story. The news was about alleged cases of hold-up, robbery, and rape in Dasmariñas that went…

Build, Resist, Build

We often imagine that infrastructure development breeds an economically progressive country. As an architecture student, it is our duty to develop and curate communities by designing buildings and establishments for the comfort of the people, yet we often forget that…

Lost generation

Kabilaang mga gawain na malapit na ang pasahan—mga plates at proyekto na sumasabay sa hell week at mga pagsusulit sa pangunahing mga paksa; dagdagan pa ng personal na problema at pisikal na kapaguran, tiyak na sasabog ka na lang sa…

Memento mori

Memento mori (Latin): Remember, you will die. You and everyone you know will die. It’s not the cheeriest way to start a column, but it’s the truth nonetheless. Around 151,600 people die every day, but that doesn’t make death any…

Ang hindi pinapahalagang berde

Dalawang beses ko nang napapanood anh inaabangang basketball finals ng Intramurals sa DLSU-D dahil kino-cover ko ang mga ito bilang isang sports writer. Nakikita ko ang tila berdeng dagat ng College of Engineering, Architecture, and Technology (CEAT). Ino-obserbahan ko ang…

Make it count

Sa pagitan ng apat na sulok ng silid-aralan, dito matatagpuan ang maraming alaala, aral, at pagkakaiba—subalit hindi lamang ito dito nagtatapos. Sa apat na taong pananatili ko sa ating unibersidad, masasabi kong ito’y naging tunay na makabuluhan hindi lamang dahil…
