MAMA GOES ON SHOPPING SPREE BY VLADDY HELL
Xavier Philippine University for Gifted Youngsters was host to the shopping spree of the notorious Michaelangela Abramovic Mikhael Amore, more popularly known as Mama, during the festive XPU-GY Opening of Plastic Cups and Premature Ejacufireworks Show. Part of the University’s 365-Day Sale, Mama is rumored to have collected items totaling nearly 69 Terillion Chinese Yuan. Mama’s favorite products to “shop” included WhyPhones, Ahsus Forehead-top computers, 24K Mercury and Astatine Jewelry, as well as Muriatic-in-
fused BVLjakGARI perfumes. “This campus-wide free-for-all shopping spree was like the best freaking experience of my life. The products were like so cheap, they were almost free. It was such a good bargain too ¬– very much a STEAL” said Mama, while stuffing items into her already overflowing Luis Linagaan Vuitton bag. “The best part is that the students here are so hospitable, carefree, and most important of all NOT VERY ALERT. Everywhere is like an open mall waiting to be raided.” laughs Mama, while picking up random bags left unattended at the XPU big field. “Next time, I’m planning to bring my best friends Janet Napoles-Kardashian-West and
Imelda Marcos-Jolie-Pitt. I know right, totally Hashtag Squad Goals,” she exclaimed joyously while being chased by the toned, muscular, and half-naked XPU security guards. Unfortunately for Mama, she had to be temporarily detained because her MasterBae credit card was rejected due to lack of funds. However, after the mix-up was resolved, Mama was immediately released back into the world. Michaelangela Abramovic Mikhael Amore is a member of the Kleptonia royal family of Miag-ao. Mama’s brother Pietro Abramovic Pavlov Amore, very much at-large, is equally popular for his binge shopping episodes. b

XPU IS ILOILO’S MOST HAUNTED BY NIPOLO MAKIAVELLI
And yes, we’ve never been any prouder. In a recent survey done by Creepypasta. com.org.ph.edu.local.excel, our very own Xtra Popular University has been ranked as the most haunted place in the entire Iloilo, placing other universities and even other ghost hotspots in the city at the lower ranks of creepy-dom. The survey was done with 665 plus one correspondents, composed mostly of YouTubers, Creepypasta enthusiasts, Taylor Swift fans, One Direction fans, KathNiel fans, JaDine fans, and selected Central Etchos staff members. According to one high ranking official
of XPU (we’re sorry, we have no idea who he is; he was wearing a Jigsaw mask when we did the interview), this achievement is “scary as hell, but hell yeah awesome” and it would help promote the reputation of the university. “We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones,” the Jigsaw mask wearing official said, feeling guilty because he copied the quote from Stephen King. The most common testimonies that the survey has gathered are the following: suspected poltergeist activity at the Joblee Science Hall, a hidden bunker beneath the Little Stuart Hall where a subterranean secret society is said to be holding meetings, alleged “little people” playing in the Beg Field every midnight, a headless horseman scouting the interior of the Rosie Memorial Auditorium, probably doomed to search for his lost NSTPei attendance slip for eternity . . .
and I’m too scared to mention more. But probably the most well-known of all is the story about the headless jogger making rounds within the University every three to four in the morning. We tried to ask this headless jogger for a statement, but he didn’t make any reply. Nevertheless, according to Frank from the movie Donnie Darko, in 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, and 12 seconds, the University will be receiving a posthumous award from an organization funded by the drunkard fans of Edgar Allan Poe. “Pero sa tuod lang, ang pinaka-kululbaan gid di ya sa atun indi ang mga murto ukon ang mga dwende, kundi ang pag-pila para sa pag bayad sang tuition,” the Jigsaw mask official finally added, before fading into pitch-black nothingness. b
FUSION EXPLOSION BY ANGHEL SINAG
Yes, fireworks. Those explosions you see in the sky that stank of gunpowder. Enjoyed by many, these blasts could be relished anytime and anywhere in the XPU campus without the permission of anyone. For example, it’s your friend’s birthday, so you’re authorized for some explosions. Another example would be during College Day, where one’s theme is Fusion, and by fusion, it could also mean the amalgamation of chemicals. Chemicals such as potassium chlorate, charcoal, and sulfur that combine with oxygen
producing heat and light and along with different metallic compounds, you could produce different colored fireworks. Fusion! That was the theme for the College of OUrts and Sciences’ College Day celebration. Yes, you heard that…read that. Apparently, COUS had Goku and Vegeta as guests, and they try to fuse into Go-geta. Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl wanted to fuse together to become Alexandrite while fireworks flashed in the sky. No, that obviously did not happen. Except for the fireworks, of course. The theme Fusion needed a climax to FUSION / page 9

The halls of the university resemble the old ways; the division in society, rich and poor.
that many kids just do not know how precious knowledge is.
How wonderful it is to see them getting out of their cars in their dazzling and glittering attires. Seeing them seems to ensnare the mere ones into a lucid dream. A princess that is seen as perfect, glamorous, stylish and smart, yes there she is. Like a doll that came to life, looking pretty is all that matters to her. And a rich kid who does not care about what the hell is happening in the class because he knows that the professor has a price tag upon his sleeves. Kids that do not care about education, learning and knowledge: the beautiful people. There are many admirable beautiful people on campus: people who only know how to look good and then pretend to know something when in fact, know nothing that even simple common-sense questions seem to be very difficult for them. They only know how to read the projected slides on the screen, but have no damn idea what they even mean; those who use all kinds of freaky stuff just to get through a class day, those who never care of going to classes because they know some professors have a price they could afford to pay.
That seems to be the new norm in society. If you do not look good, then you do not belong. If you don’t wear signature brands and latest style, then you are an “eeewwwwwwwwwwwwwww” to them. One may think that even if you are not smart, but have the looks and the money, you deserve more in society.
Twosiforo Barina, Jr. Pearorraine Bordero Bic Alis Dyan Moreno
I think the university seems to care less about the quality of education that students get. Perhaps, it is because they may be more concerned about the money that goes in. How sad it is that despite the substandard education students get, for as long as they can pay the price, they will still get through.

Some people value things that will make them look good, but unfortunately, they do not put a high premium on things that will make them smart. Looking at them is bewitching, but in reality, it is just so disappointing. It is even more interesting to hear the professor say, “It's disappointing. You are indeed pretty but, you don’t have any idea at all.” If appearance were the basis of grades in the university, then the not-so beautiful would suffer.

The modern caste system and the difference in the levels of societal equity can now be widely seen even more clearly and vividly, that even though they attempt to overcome it, it just won’t disappear; it is an undeniable fact. Students don’t value education that much anymore; somehow to some they don’t matter at all. Money dictates the society. Money determines education. Money determines the future. The beautiful people, along with those
shameless ‘price-tag’ professors, have finally revealed their true and distinct colors. Remember, that the beautiful people will not be able to exercise their oppressive authority if those educated ‘price-tags’ won’t allow them to. Until when will these beautiful people rule?

DIRTY CAMPAIGN OffWithTheirHeads DODO BIRD
On February (state your birthdate), the COMELEC declared the beginning of the campaign period for candidates (which most candidates don’t care about because they have already campaign paraphernalia every-single-where far before this has officially begun). In response, the few who have been left behind go to studios to have the photos for their posters taken by self-proclaimed best photographers in town for their possession of a Nikon and very astonishing ability to blur the background for no reason. They smile with their mutated rabbit teeth. These photos are then heavily manipulated using Photoshop to look viable by getting rid of the semi-volcanic terrains occupying the entirety of their faces. Also, photos of dead people are sometimes added for a final touch. Soft copy of the poster is then sent to the nearest Outdoormaster for them to print it on tarpaulin (waterproof na, durable pa! Election Promo! Php 8.25 per sq. ft.!). After a few days, these posters are distributed to friends, relatives, electric posts, partly rotting trees, cement walls, overly urinated cement walls, jeepney drivers, carinderias and trisikad drivers and squatters (as roofing). This has become the culture of political election campaigning. It is a simple process - which needs to simply stop. (As mentioned earlier, election posters are printed in tarpaulin. The tarpaulin has become a popular medium for advertisement, replacing the painful method of painting sako with one’s self-praised marvellous handwriting. They are

Tarpaulin ads can print images with accurate colors and are fast to produce, which makes them more advantageous, providing more income to the nearest Outdoormaster. Paprint na!) After the election, the tarpaulin streamers remain waterproof and durable. Some will be gathered by trisikad drivers. But how about the rest? Given that tarpaulins are non-biodegradable in nature, it is implied that these candidates do plan to hoard these rubbish on those heavily urinated walls. Should they be permitted to do so? And even if candidates cleaned these up after elections, these posters will surely add to solid waste which I confidently think affects the environment so unbeautifully.

colleges instead? Do they think most voters are too illiterate not to grasp the information from only one single and not double nor triple poster? Also, the quantity of a candidate’s poster depicts the level of narcissism one has. Do they love themselves so much that they post selfies of themselves with the fakest smiles possible in every single corner of the town, advertising their not-yet-but-nearly-exploding craters? Should this insincere, impractical, judgmental, and narcissistic method be continued? Then, what should be our solution to this unpleasant campaigning process? It is my firm stance, instead of using non-biodegradable selfie posters for campaign, to recommend that the COMELEC hire a professional head remover from the Game of Thrones with much experience on chopping humans to cut the heads of every politician running for any office (primarily those who are not in running attire) in the elections and post them in designated areas. It is easier to do because it will only need one clean slice from the head remover’s knife. It will be much cheaper because only one will be hired which means more funds for crocodile’s milk feeding and Binay candy distribution, leaving Outdoormaster with no income. The human head is purely biodegradable and will not leave an impact on the environment (some may even be faster to decompose for not containing a brain). It can be used to enrich the soil for agriculture. No duplicates will be produced preventing the above mentioned problems which may arise. It will display a candidate’s true sincerity by being willing to lose a head for the sake of serving the people with all their heart, which is what’s left. There will be no need to spend for PCOS machines because there will be no elections. Plus, no corrupt politician or just plain politician will be added to our current set of professional thieves. We then will get rich and save lots of money, time and effort. Unfortunately though, the designated areas will inevitably, as they always do, display pungent garbage.
Aside from its environmental impact, these posters depict a sense of unpleasantness. The number of duplicates of posters placed side by side connotes their hunger for votes, their thirst for power, and not their plans to improve community. What if they used the money they spend on replicates on breast milk feeding in

SIGNATURES TO INCINERATORS BY MANINOY
Nikey, one of the world’s biggest sports apparel company, was boycotted by solid supporters of the boxing kicker, Mani Pacman. After the alleged sexist comments of the champ towards same sex mirage, the world of social monkeys went ravaging at their keyboards. Recklessly typing words in spite the lack of knowledge of the exact words that the poor opiniownated pastor has said. Shaming the poor guy, along with his family, and worse, condemning him and advertising famous people’s bid of not voting for him. Furthermore, global companies that have him as an endorser, suddenly pulled out their support and dropped the contracts to have him still as an endorser. Nikey, the biggest trash bin of apparels, expressed their disgust after the video leaked and pulled him out as their endorser. With all the types of people shaming and making fun of the poor champ, still, he maintained his composure and kept his silence to avoid further commotion. But where did he get it wrong? Did he said a bad thing? Is he bad?

ments of Mani, and told the whole country to withdraw their support for his candidacy for the senate. Boy Abandonado, a renowned gay TV personality, also expressed his clearly and proudly personal view on the matter concerning their sector in the society. People acted as big ignorant for accepting and sympathizing with the given opinions by these persona but rejecting the reality that Mani also just stated his opinion. Keyboard warriors, all knowing and dramatically acclaimed opinionators, indeed. Nikey withdrew the contract with Mani, refraining from hiring him to be their endorser. With these big turn-arounds, supporters of the great boxing champ boycotted the mentioned company by publicly burning the signature shoes of the company; Lebrons, Kobes, Durants, Hyperdunks, Jordans, Kyries and all other products produced by the business. Nonetheless, Nikey expressed their surprise to the reaction of the world to their company’s actions. It was then revoked and said that Nikey tried to reach out to Mani again to take him back, but Mani had withdrawn, saying that he has his sight on signing a contract with Underarm Armour. Mani just said that animals are better to be admired because they know what they are, what they are made for, what they should do. Despite the fact that humans are the highest animal form, they are not able to see and know that a man was created to mate with a woman; and a woman was made to be with a man. I am not that much a believer, I am not that religious, but I think it speaks of the truth. Those highly proclaimed stars shamed Mani’s family for so long, in spite of what he did to put our country’s name on the map; someone who brought glory and respect to this hypocrite land we live in. Giving his winnings as donation to build houses for the underpri vileged and storm-ravaged poor families. Someone that took a beating for his country’s pride was condemned because of what he believes. I know that it is somehow free to be fools, but it does not mean to live it everyday. When will we say that ignorance is not a trait of our race? Nikey was left looking for a new face to carry the “Check” in the hand-to-hand combat. Mani will be calling it quits and hanging his gloves this April with his last fight against Bradley, while pursuing his political career. He is condemned by his own people, for whom he fought with all his might. He was seen as the Hero of every Filipino, but now he is seen as the idiot, sexist pastor with limited understanding. How sad it is to feel? ≤

Let us call him by the name Sir “Joss.” He is a faculty member from a different department but teaches major subjects at the College of Commuter Studies.

drawn to him than to any of their other teachers in their majors subjects. Many students (especially girls) are stunned for he is by far the most attractive, approachable, inspiring and kindest teacher they have ever met. His glasses and ever-growing beard add up to his special qualities. An interview with his student was conducted last February 2016, to get to know him more as a teacher. According to June, she was mesmerized by the dark brown eyes and captivating smile of Sir Joss every time she sees him. She felt motivated to finish all her works and she gets a chance to speak in front of the class without being nervous and without hesitation since she knew that Sir Joss was looking at her. “Crush ko na gid ya si sir!,” she added. In fact, 80% of his students have a hidden admiration towards him may it be in an affectionate way or a respect for a teacher. He is basically a heartthrob whenever he enters the room. Nonetheless, he genuinely teaches his students things he had learned and gives them advice for future reference. He is their inspiration. b

Manual in PE 1 by the Hulk REVIEW BY
一个中国名字 On the 1st of November in 2015, the PE book was inhabited by angry radioactive ghosts which transformed it from being dull and boring to being humongous, muscular, and bright green. Its accidental monstrosity brought much excitement to students, especially those who have always wanted to have that ideal Hulk physique which everyone runs after. It majestically used one sided printing to help readers (if any) be relaxed by providing them enough space to doodle Hulk. Font sizes are Hulkly enlarged for readers (if any) who are visually impaired to visibly spot incompetence in proofreading. It has 1,000,000,000x more pages than the amateurish and undeserving previous version, providing enough material for life sized bright green Hulk Paper Mache sculptures. Let superheroes fill the school instead of idiotic books. Watch out for the next episode as these angry, worthless, radioactive ghosts create edition 3 of this marvelous and monstrous defecation.

But it has one characteristic, however, which makes it unique: it is equipped with undeniably beautiful self-detaching leaves, which is increasingly beneficial during quizzes and exams. The feature was accidentally discovered, as most famous and very beneficial inventions, by a team of experts at XPU’s very own pressure cooker for ostriches and emus. It has since been patented by XPU and implemented on other books like RE 1 & 2. It has the ability to fly everywhere during lessons. Also, it can double as an emergency “Modess w/ wings” due to its extreme comfort, availability, and flying ability.
