ni John Alexis Dela Cruz

BUMUHOS ANG pagkilala’t papuri sa dalawang 4th year student mula sa College of Engineering and Architecture (CEA) at College of Social Sciences and Philosophy (CSSP), matapos makasungkit ng “flat uno” na grado sa nagdaang ikalawang semestro, sa taongpanuruan 2020-2021.

Kinilala ang dalawa na sina Cedrix Joshua Eligio, isang Industrial Engineering student, at si Therese Martine S. Saulo na isa namang Social Work student.

Sa isang panayam sa 21-anyos na si Saulo, tagaDolores, City of San Fernando, laking tuwa at pasasalamat umano ang kanyang naramdaman dahil siya ay nakapagtala ng flat uno na marka ngunit hindi raw niya inasam na makakuha ng ganoon kataas na grado sa kadahilanang halos major subjects ang kanilang pinag-aaralan, at ang ninais lamang niya ay makapasa at "okay na".

“Maraming challenges akong na encounter sa online class. 'Yung SANA ALL. Cedrix Joshua Eligio (left), an Industrial Engineering student and Therese Martine S. Saulo (right), a Social Work student, both acquired flat one grade for the second semester of the Academic Year 2020-2021.

pinaka common ay 'yung sabay yung gawain sa bahay sa online class. 'Yung stress din sa mga subjects 'di na maiiwasan 'yun lalo na major subjects and halos sunod-sunod mga requirements and events na kailangan 'yung assistance. Pero determination and support sa family and sa friends. 'Yung encouragement nila ang naging drive ko para matapos 'yung sem,” salaysay ni Saulo ng kanyang mga pinagdaanan bago makamit ang nabanggit na grado.

Ayon naman sa pahayag ni Eligio, 21 taong gulang, taga-Guagua, Pampanga, ang pagpapananatiling balanse ng oras sa pag-aaral at pagliliwaliw ang kanyang naging paraan upang maipanatili ang pag-arangkada ng kanyang buhay-estudyante.

“I don’t force myself to study lalo na kung tinatamad ako, hindi kasi ako 'yung pala-aral talaga na student, gusto ko enjoy lang. Find the perfect balance ganon. Gusto ko I would be able to do other things pa rin outside school. ‘Pagtrip ko mag-aral, sige aral. ‘Pag trip ko mag-ML lang buong araw, sige ML," ani Eligio. "My point is dapat di natin ni-rerestrict masyado sarili natin, enjoy habang students pa tayo, kasi once na nasa | to page 4

Campus pubs, stude orgs call for end of VAW

by John Derrick Cordova

INITIATED BY The Industrialist, the official student publication of Don Honorio Ventura State University, campus publications and student organizations in the university collaborated to call for the annihilation of violence against women (VAW).

The unity statement was released in line with the opening of the annual undertaking of the 18-day Campaign to End Violence Against Women last November 25.

In the statement, the publication, together with the signed student publications and organizations, show support in the endeavors of the 18-day Campaign to End Violence against Women to annihilate all forms of violence against women in every space.

"We believe that it is high time to realize that VAW not only deals physical damage but also hampers them from reaching their full potential along with also immortalizing gender inequality," the statement reads. "Let us begin to transition society into a safe space for everybody, including women."

A total of 47 campus publications and student organizations in the university joined the unity statement.

In this year’s theme, safe spaces are highlighted in parallel to its advocacy to promote the Republic Act 11313 or Safe Spaces Act that seeks to end gender–based sexual harassment in streets, public spaces, online, workplaces, and educational and training institutions.

SC declares parts of anti-terror law unconstitutional

by John Derrick Cordova

THE SUPREME COURT en banc voted to declare some parts of the controversially-enacted Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) of 2020 as unconstitutional on December 9, 2021.

The ruling was conducted last December 7, granting the petitions against the said law.

Particularly voided by a vote of 12-3 was the act's Section 4 phrase “which are not intended to cause death or serious physical harm to a person, to endanger a person’s life, or to create a serious risk to public safety” that was declared unconstitutional for "being overboard and violative of freedom of expression".

The "second method" of designation in Section 25 paragraph 2 of the law which gives power to the Anti-Terrorism Council (ATC) to designate a person or a group as terrorists based on a request by another country was also declared unconstitutional by a vote of 9-6.

All other petitions on the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020 provisions are declared not unconstitutional which includes, among others, the third mode which gives ATC the power to designate individuals, groups of persons, organization, or association upon finding a probable cause.

This is considered by many activists as dangerous as no trials are involved in the identification.

ATA was controversially expedited in the Congress at the height of the pandemic last July 2020.
