Tigsik
Tigsik ko an kadaklan na mga kahimanwa, Sa paggibo nin kasalan magbarakli na kita. Ta kun bawion na an sinublian na buhay ta, Kun dai, an kalag ta mapaimpyerno talaga. Tigsik ko kun malipot baga ining panahon, Pwertehon sa mag-irilusyon, mag-aragom. Orog kun an mirindala suman na managon, O kalamay na nakakalumay na mapuluton. Tigsik ko an sitwasyon sa ibang komunidad, Mga kahimanwa ta dapat magin marigmat. Mararaot na elemento kan satong sosyodad, Sa mga panghahabon, nagbwe

EDITORIAL: Guarded Exit
THE rescue of a 17-year-old girl at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, intercepted while attempting to leave the country with a fake passport to work as a household service worker in Saudi Arabia, is both a warning and a reassurance. A warning that human trafficking syndicates remain relentless in exploiting poverty, desperation, and dreams of a better life; and a reassurance that the government’s campaign against human trafficking is active, coordinated, and increasingl

We Don’t Deserve
Yes, Mrs. Padilla. We don’t deserve him. All the Filipino people, all together now, WE DON’T DESERVE HIM! Never has a disagreeable sentiment been faced with a loud agreement. The premise is that the Filipino people should deserve Robinhood Padilla as a senator. (Just the fact that he prefers to be called “Robinhood” makes me cringe. Joseph Estrada lobbied for “Erap” and “Estrada” to be accepted in the ballots. Bong Revilla retained his screen name over the name, Jose Mar

Beware of Cyber Scams
How online investment fraud exposes gaps in consumer protection A close friend recently told me something she is still trying to understand herself. She believes she fell victim to a cyber-enabled investment scam—one that did not begin with obvious red flags and never felt reckless. When she first shared her story, my instinctive reaction was disbelief. She is educated, careful, financially literate—the kind of person who reads the fine print. How could this happen to her? Th

Parte kan memoria ko ang Igualdad, digdi sa Ciudad nin Naga ta iyo ini ang gusto kong pirming dumanan kan ako nagkamalay hasta first year high school ako.

Ni: Ryan Mostar Sa Pilipinas, kun di ka maingat sa pag-drive, puwede ini maging krimen na Reckless Imprudence (Art. 365, Revised Penal Code), maski dai mo sinadya na makakulog ka nin iba. Kun kotse lang an nadanyos, mabayad ka; kun may nakulugan, puwede ka makulong asin magbayad; kun may nagadan, mas dakula an posibilidad na makulong ka. Puwede ka mag-post nin bail, ta an batas (Art.365) nagtututok sa dai mo pag-ingat, bako sa intensyon na makakulog. An hapot kan batas, “Nag

Tigsik
Tigsik ko kun an mga tawo naagi nin pagtios, Kun minsan pigtutuyo iyan kan satong Diyos. Ta kun marhay an buhay lingaw nang dagos, Alagad kun nagsasakit, nakakarumdom tulos. Tigsik ko, pagirumdom sa mga kababayihan, Maglikay sa mga manyakis na kalalakihan. Dai magsulot nin malaen na mga kasulutan, Na bako kamo an magin dahilan nin kasalan. Tigsik ko ining bagyo na maabot na naman, Na iyo naman pighaharaditan kan kadaklan. Mga buhay, pagsasadiri pwede madanyaran, Nin huli sa

EDITORIAL: Relentless Duty
Two hundred days beneath the troubled waters of Taal Lake is not just a statistic—it is a measure of resolve. As the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) marked the 200th day of its diving operations in search of the missing sabungeros, the recovery of three bags of suspected human remains in Laurel, Batangas underscored both the gravity of the case and the painful hope carried by families who have waited for answers since 2021. Each descent into the lake’s cold, dark, and low-visibi

Reactions to a Road Trip
Maybe, I still have some thoughts; or maybe I just can’t think of anything else to write about. Yes, it was irregular to fix the roads when the DPWH Secretary would be going on a road trip on it. Yes, it is quite unnecessary for the national department head himself to conduct an ocular inspection to directly experience actual conditions to be able to make decisions on projects (as if, he had no leaders on the lower levels). But on the other hand, privilege speeches on a gi

Wind, Sun, and the People of San Miguel Bay
Last week, a friend from Pingxiang, China—an engineer and renewable energy expert—visited the Mariners campuses to share insights on solar power as a practical and scalable energy solution. A month earlier, a delegation from Denmark introduced plans for an ocean-based wind farm envisioned for the coastal towns of Camarines Sur and Camarines Norte. These visits, coming from opposite sides of the globe, point to one reality: Camarines Sur is increasingly on the map of the globa
