Sidebar | ‘Done and decided’? Baguio court declines to review constitutionality of Anti-Terrorism Act’s implementation
The constitutionality of the Anti-Terrorism Act can still be questioned with regard to how it is actually implemented. In contrast, however, Judge Belmes refused to rule on the matter at all, despite the clear ruling of the Supreme Court in Calleja allowing the same.

At Ground Leve l Criminal justice system is working… for whom?
It’s generally conceded that the Philippine criminal justice system grinds exceedingly slow. But for the Marcos Jr. administration, the system has been working well after just one year of the family’s being back in Malacañang.
At Ground Level | Activists push back against red-tagging
Sometimes, people just throw up their hands and shake their heads dejectedly: “But what can you do?” But often there’s really no alternative but to fight back, to push back. It happened again, twice, this week.
At Ground Level | Human rights violations in Marcos Jr.’s first year
Human rights violations, highlighted by extrajudicial killings and questionable arrests, detention and filing of nonbailable trumped-up charges following red-tagging, continued during the first year of Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s occupation of Malacañang.

Balik-Tanaw | Rejoice!
The 4th Sunday of Lent is called Laetare Sunday. A Latin word which means rejoice! In the beginning of the Mass, its entrance antiphon acclaims “Rejoice, Jerusalem, and all who love her. Be joyful!” This Sunday celebration brings us to hope with anticipation, the great joy of the resurrection… which urges us to enter more deeply into the mystery of God’s love and mercy…”For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him might not perish but might have eternal life.”(John 3:16) The First reading reminds us of God’s mercy when Cyrus, King of Persia became the instrument of salvation for God’s chosen people who were exile in Babylon. The Psalm remembers the tragedy of the exile in Babylon as it evokes sentiments of joy and hope for salvation. In the Second Reading, Paul tells us that God is rich in mercy, and His great love brought us salvation as a gift (taken from the Word in other words).
Balik-Tanaw | In defense of life’s sanctity
The season of Lent invites us to commemorate Christ’s passion, death, and resurrection. In this holy season, we are called to reflect on Christ, who was beaten by Roman soldiers, humiliated, stripped naked, wounded, hung on a cross, and suffered until death.
Balik-Tanaw | Mangahas tayong umibig tulad ng pag-ibig ng Diyos
Nauso kamakailan ang mga katagang ‘Kung gusto mong gulatin, manlibre ka!’ ‘Kung gusto mong gulatin, magsimba ka!’ ‘Kung gusto mong gulatin, mag madre ka!’ at kung ano ano pa, pero kung gusto mong talagang magulat, mamalengke ka!

Tanggol Wika sa Pagbubukas ng Klase
Katatapos lang ng Hunyo at magsimula na ang klase at ang pagharap ng ilang mga kababayan sa maraming mga usapin sa edukasyon. Muli na namang tampok ang usapin ng wika sa pagtuturo sa paaralan, isang usapin na tila kasintagal na ng mahabang kasaysayan ng pagtuturo at kontrobersya sa wika sa kapuluan.
Malaya o nanlilimos? Ang anino ni Recto at ang trahedya sa Recto Bank
Sa panahon ni Recto hanggang ngayon, makabuluhan pa ring tingnan kung paano natin igigiit ang ating kalayaan, at kung paano natin makakamit ang tamang paggalang at pantay na pagtingin sa atin ng ibang bayan.

Ars Terror
This regime labels people who serve the very same people it deprives of life, living wage, and social services as "terrorist" without showing us the way to move the country forward. The term "reactionary state" is crystallized in this government's perpetuation of violence --Martial Law, war on drugs, criminalization of dissent, neoliberal economic policies, and its active campaign for misogyny.
Anti-commie PSYOP
While he was quick to add that communists are not terrorists, we all know that a private school history professor is not in any position to dictate upon the president. There has been a strong push back from the mass movement on the labeling of their organizations as “communist fronts.” For progressive activists, this is an act of political vilification enacted by the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) that justifies extra-judicial killings, enforced disappearance, torture, warrantless arrests, and the criminalization of political dissent.

Love means fighting back
Yes, we could have a better life like what people would say but remembering the demolition threats among several barangays in Tacloban, the land grabbing cases in Tacloban and Leyte, the illegal arrests of farmers and other activists, the strong Junk STS (socialized tuition scheme) and free education campaign, WE'D STILL MAKE THE CHOICE WE MADE YEARS AGO.
First Person | ‘Whose land is this? Constructing counter-narratives through maps’
In just under six months of fieldwork, we saw the extreme and terrifying change of landscape in the affected areas: hundreds of trees were felled, creeks dried, and mountains flattened; this, despite claims from the Philippine government that New Clark City is “environment-friendly.”

Trading away peace for ‘Vital Installations’
These so-called development projects that serve as the AFP’s loophole in their commander-in-chief’s ceasefire declaration are precisely the reasons why grassroots communities are denied of land, water, food, livelihood, and rights.

Sa kabila ng karanasang multimedia, sana’y huwag pa ring kalimutan ang kahalagahan ng pagbabasa. At dahil limitado o halos walang oportunidad para makahawak man lang ng libro, patuloy na singilin ang gobyerno sa mga pagkukulang nito sa pagsusulong ng kultura ng pagbabasa.
Konteksto | Akademya
Pagtuturo, pananaliksik at gawaing ekstensiyon—tatlong pangunahing gawain ng isang guro. Mabigat na responsibilidad sa gitna ng mataas na inaasahan. Maraming ginagampanan kahit ramdam ang kapaguran. Ano na nga ang ibig sabihin ng “Prof.”? Professionally exhausted?
Init
Nakakailang palit ka ba ng damit mula umaga hanggang hapon? Hindi lang ba isa kundi tatlong bentilador ang ginagamit para hindi masyadong pawisan? Pagkatapos mag-almusal o mananghalian, kinukuha na ba ang tuwalya bago pumunta sa banyo? Pangalawa o pangatlong beses mo na bang maligo sa araw na ito?

Media literacy should include fighting and demanding
The future of public communication rests on giving relevant media literacy. Audiences should be taught the valuable lesson of asserting and fighting for a media that we all deserve. This means fighting attempts by government to control the media, as well as demanding responsible gatekeeping by the owners of social media platforms.

If the internet is a weapon of mass distraction, media streaming is the precision missile targeting citizens in search of escape and lazy fun. This is the extra dose supplied by the media industry after lockdowns have been enforced across the world as we battle a pandemic and an economic recession.
