Hawak kamay. Kinakatawan nito ang aking plataporma sapagkat ang pagkakaroon ng publication fee ay daan upang magkaroon ng boses ang mga estudyante at sama-samang lumaban sa BSEd BOARD MEMBER RAYMOND “MOMON” pagkamit ng pagbabago.

BulSU continues 105 years of excellence Edmundo V. Julao Jr.
After 105 years of existence, Bulacan State University (BulSU) celebrated its week-long founding anniversary bearing the theme “Ensuring Continuous Excellence” last December 1 to 6 hosted by the College of Engineering (COE) and College of Architecture and Fine Arts (CAFA). “Ang importante ay simulan ang programa with a bang. We must be very happy dahil since I became the president, God is also with us. Kaya kayong mga estudyante, you can do anything with God,” said Mariano de Jesus, BulSU president “We are on the right track. Basta’t sama-sama tayo. Walang iwanan. Ang gusto lamang namin sa inyong mga estudyante ay mag-aral ng mabuti. Maraming mga companies ang gustong makipag-MOA [Memorandum of Agreement] kaya ayaw naming kayong masama sa caravan of the jobless,” said BulSU president Mariano de Jesus in his opening remarks on the first day of the event. Along with the week-long fair, COE also observed their college’s week while College of Education (COEd) organized an acquaintance party held last December 4 at the BulSU gymnasium. Other colleges also conducted activities like Science and Math Quiz Bee Fair (CSSP), College of Nursing’s (CON’s) Night. On December 3, BulSU also observed Bene-

Journalists and media men from Bulacan and BulSU’s student publications gathered and held a prayer rally for the victims of the Maguindanao massacre last December 9, 2009 at the university’s Heroes Park. Media workers from YAMAHA Bulacan Riders, Punla, Bulacan Press Club (BPC), and student writers from Pacesetter, the university- wide publication, and those from college publications like Nurses’ Notes (CON), Cursor (CICT), The Mentors’ Journal (COEd) lit candles and offered prayers to show their sympathy to the death of their fellow journalists. “Walang pinapanigan ang media. Ang pinapahalagahan [namin] ay karunungan at katotohanan; ang bawat mamamahayag ay dapat sumali sa digmaan ng karunungan. Peryodista ang tumitindig at lumalaban sa katarungan,” said Joey Rey Munsayap of BPC. Members of student publications, meanwhile, with their slogans, expressed their opposition to the imposition of Marial Law in Maguindanao last December 5 under Proclamation No. 1959. “Walang direktang basehan ang pagdedeklara ng Martial Law sa Maguindanao, isang paraan lamang ito upang mapalagay ang mga tao na sinusolusyunan ng gobyerno ang problemang hinaharap ngayon ng Maguindanao. isa rin ito sa mga pwedeng paraan upang mapahaba ang termino ni Presidente Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, kung saka-sakaling maidedeklara ang Martial Law sa buong Pilipinas,” said Mark Romel Cabrera, KABATAAN party-list student.
BSS holds annual Benefactors’ Day Ruby Rose R.

And every year, he said, the number of scholars also increases. De Jesus with VP for Academic Affairs Danilo Faustino, VP for Student Affairs and Services Antonio Del Rosario, and BSS Director Dorothy Reyes distributed plaques of appreciation to the benefactors.

Forth and back Jon-jon Mendoza, for almost three consecutive years, had been the entitled Bulacan governor until his closest rival Obet Pagdanganan appealed to Commission on Elections (Comelec) claiming he officially won in 2007 national elections. Comelec Second Division, after a recount, proclaimed Pagdanganan as the rightful winner for the gubernatorial post on the last day of the filing of Certificates of Candidacy (CoC) for the next elections. When Mendoza was first proclaimed by Comelec as the duly elected winner of the said seat having a total vote of 364, 566 against Pagdanganan’s 348, 834, which made him win via 15, 732 votes, a protest was immediately filed by Pagdanganan to predetermine the votes. After the protest was granted, Mendoza, being allowed to defend himself, filed a counter-protest which the Comelec set aside to give way to Pagdanganan’s appeal. Soon after, Pagdanganan was declared as the rightful winner having a head vote of 4,231. An oath-taking ceremony was held right after Comelec En Banc declared him Governor of Bulacan. But still, Mendoza has not stepped down from office. On an official statement released by the Provincial Capitol on February 9, Mendoza said that he has not received a Notice of Promulgation from Comelec or DILG which states that Pagdanganan has already seized his position;
therefore he will not leave the office yet. Since December, supporters of Pagdanganan (with a little number) in Capitol View Park were seen shouting for Mendoza to step down from office because he was said to have cheated in the previous elections, while Mendoza’s supporters (with a way larger number) block every entry of the Capitol to prevent Pagdanganan and his supporters to get in. Bulakenyos are now wondering who their official leader is. For almost three months, projects are on-hold for no one knows who will sign for it. Public Utility Vehicle operators are losing business because the usual vehicle routes are blocked. Those who have transactions in the Capitol can’t seem to do their business for every entrance is jammed with government trucks which are supposed to be for official use. End line: Every one is affected in any way possible. Hence, the credibility of the results of last year’s elections planted
Editorial Staff 2009 - 2010
a seed of doubt upon the people of the province. Why did this detour happen just when the nationwide election is barely three months from now? Or worse, why does this have to last for three months? What action has the government been taking for this to last up to now—when this has been constantly written in newspapers, seen on national television and heard on the radio? Before, when Mendoza was still part of Lakas Kampi, the administration’s
party list, no news of this election results inconsistency controversy arose. When he unexpectedly left the said party and joined Liberal Party instead with presidentiable Noynoy Aquino came these political rumors. The same scenario also happened to Isabela Gov. Grace Padaca and Pampanga Gov. Ed Panlilio who left the party. Now is this mere coincidence or another of the nation’s political vendetta? The choice is ours to seize the real score. No more in-betweens.

Reality bites
It was still vivid to me, that fateful day on April 24, 2009. That usual hot, summer afternoon and I was actually in the middle of my nap when I was awakened by a frantic phone call. It was my girlfriend - telling me she’s pregnant. To say that I was shocked as hell and to say that she was scared to death is a big understatement (believe me). We decided to talk about sorting things out, the rest was history, and how being a young father changed me in a way I didn’t expect. Call it cliché if you may, but really, I felt that 360-degree turn around. Of course, until I graduate but it is easier said the best experience in my life. I’m responsibilities hanging - those things not promoting pre-marital sex and come easy, then later on, you feel fatherhood isn’t all good especially than done. You might think that I’m a I’m definitely not encouraging young a touch of guilt and an ounce of if you consider my situation: I’m still studying while my girl works her ass self-pitying wimp, but what the hell, parenthood here, all I want to say is fear because you know that you are off being a call center agent. As much it’s just hard to stay firm, to have that the greatest joy of being a father going to do a lot of catching-up - but as I hate to say this, right now, I just more focus and not to give up. It’s is felt after experiencing all the pain of I tell you, those things mean nothing can’t be the provider that a father also tough hearing her talking to her acceptance and after you’re through compared to family matters. You can should be. It was one reality that parents about her work and how she with all the self-pity to the point that amplify all the pressure, all the pain, smacked me in the jaw from the very is harassed by her stupid costumers. you begin questioning yourself. You and all the sacrifice when your family beginning. And what did I do about It pains me a lot to pretend that I’m can still smile and feel proud about it is at stake in every move you do. It it? I swallowed every pride inside my not hurt. Man, I feel like a losing boxer, because you know you are a complete seems to me that even a single hour machismo-fueled body. I learned to unable to move, incapable of fighting person, and you can say that you takes too long to pass by, and I still continue to count and wait while accept that the wisest, if not the best, back and waiting for that one blow to made the right choice after all. I know I sound preachy right I’m studying until we can finally be a decisions we make in life are the ones knock me out. But then again, I helped that hurt our egos so badly that we myself to get up and realized that it’s here but the point is that it’s just a happy family like the stories we often all part of the game - that it’s just the matter of digging deep upon yourself hear. It is the little things that kill as can do nothing about it. Acceptance was really hard beginning and there are lots of fights to make the right decision. What I did they say and we all have our little for me. I thought that it would be still to be won and that I couldn’t call was wrong, but somehow, I made a demons dancing in our heads but the easier when we decided that I finish myself a father if I couldn’t get back way to make things right for me and choice is - and will always be - ours to my family. Like I said, it was a complete make (or break). my studies first as she works. As we on track and focus on my goals. Again, a cliché but really, we I guess the bottom line is: if you turn around.

Why write?
Ubermensch Ruby Rose R. Cruz
It is when you don’t have the initiative, it is when you’re not inspired, it is when even the corniest idea or the silliest thoughts didn’t even bother to cross your mind—it’s these times when you are mostly required to write. Ironically, the sources are all widely available, you just have to choose, yet you still cannot write. I’ve spent the last five-and-ahalf semesters of my college life in this college publication (two semesters as a staff writer, and the rest as part of the Editorial Board). Being part of this publication brings pressure since I always have to prove my skills to others especially because I’m here. I always try not to be the cause of headache of the other editors, but unfortunately, sometimes, I cannot help but be one. And because of these faults, I always make it a point that my presence is felt every EB and Ed staff meeting, but due to some inevitable circumstances and conflicting schedules, sometimes still I fail to do so. I always attend journalism skills training for I know I badly need plenty of it. I am regularly ready for shoe-wrecking legworks, since I know that is the only way I can help my co-editors. I always try to visit the office every Saturday presswork even if it means spending my allowance for the coming week. I’m always ready to solicit monetary assistance from politicians and other affluent personalities so that we could have funds for office expenses because I know I cannot give that by myself. I do these things though I know that being part of this student publication requires more than just presence during meetings, presswork, seminars, and the likes. It requires more than just doing legworks or soliciting monetary help. I didn’t know that all along, I was missing the very essence of this student publication. Only after almost three years did I realize that I haven’t produced any true column article for the publication yet. True article because I had written one before but it just did not fit the standards of the other editors. In conclusion, it was not published and was just posted on the website instead. Only now did I realize that
probably this is my chance. I merely have no more than two-and-a-half semesters left in college (I hope) and I expect to still spend it with this publication—writing articles. But, why write in the first place? Who cares if I would not write at all? People would not mind seeing me not writing any article. But since I choose to be a part of this publication that requires me to express, I am now more than obliged to finish this article. But, why did I begin writing only lately? Maybe, most people, including me, probably consider the beginning as the toughest part of writing. It is as if all the thoughts you gather in your head suddenly scatters like a wide variety of irresistible sweets you’ll choose to take after a meal thus, making it really hard to pick, organize and plan—making it difficult to start writing. It has never been easy starting articles particularly if you do not have any experience in writing. I lacked self-confidence and I did not have the courage to be criticized especially by the past editors who are far better than I am. Since the better ones had already proven themselves and produced better articles, I have to come up with their expectations and with that of the readers. I couldn’t start writing prior to this since most of the time, I always find myself gazing at nowhere and struggling with my vocab. I also find it hard to arrange my thoughts that are essential for writing and so I just begged off myself from writing instead. But I learned that behind everything, there would always be something or someone that will persuade you to continue writing, and at the end of the day, you’d be surprised of the results of your struggle.
At first, the main reason that I came up in writing this article is a former friend. He was the reason that I took the last two Editorial Board Examinations and fueled my interest in writing. He, who always underestimates and criticizes my abilities and worthiness to be in my position in the Editorial Board, made me so eager to finish this one off so that I could slap it to his face and prove to him I that I could go beyond what he expects from me, and that I deserve to be where I am now. But, as I progress in writing, I came to a realization that I’m not writing for him and that even a bit of this is not intended for him. I am writing because this is my avenue of expressing my thoughts and emotions and to share to the readers what I know that they may not know. When we are required to write, we can hardly find the best inspiration and the best topic to dwell on. On that note, I learned that being a keen observer will help a lot. Outside, you will find the best source of inspiration. It can be in the jeepney terminal, it can be the scenarios on your way to school or while just hanging around the campus. You’ll see different phases or faces of people that will motivate you to write. It can be about your new haircut, or the campus cutie that everyone screams about, or the birthday of your bestfriend. It can be anything under the huge, illuminating sun. Sometimes, all you need is just a pen and something to write on. Writing is also a conversation between the writer and the readers, where the former submits a part of him to make the output more natural for the latter. It is also a conversation among the conscious, subconscious, and unconscious self of the writer where the output is the product
of exchange of thoughts. While for some, including me, it is a way of escaping from the realities of life. We write because there is something that haunts us, and only in writing can we express it—especially when no one would want to listen to all of our angst in life. When we write, we discover who we are as people. By writing we can express ourselves in a more different and creative way. We are armed by our experiences and circumstances in life that makes it easier to start the writing process and in the same sense, we may be able to know ourselves better. Another good source of motivation is when we are evaluated by our mentors, whom we consider as the skilled ones in the writing process. It always feels good to be assessed by someone who is more enhanced. Honestly, I immensely enjoyed it. Hearing the remarks of the ones you consider experts will really, if not immediately, slowly-but-surely help you in improving your writing skills. But, after all of this headbanging-mind-popping-balloonbursting-know-how-to-why-to-writeexperience, I realized that I can no longer escape from my call of duty to write, I must write whether required or not. Because, sometimes the best inspiration comes from nowhere and the best output comes from the time you are least required to write. Just believe in yourself and in the power of words. It can take you farther than you expected. I always believe in the saying “to write is already to choose”, when we write we are required to offer a part of ourselves to our readers, critics and to the community where we are. In the same sense we choose to accept the appraisal, criticisms and the whatnot of the public.
