EDITORIAL Make some noise! The NOISYnian, the alter ego of The NORSUnian, is ready to make some noise (and nuisance) bringing you the hottest (and tabooed) issues in the university for 168 hours. The official lampoon issue of the publication is ready to serve its purpose and that is not only to give you laughs but also offer you a new perspective of thinking and viewing the university’s feats and shortcomings critically (with humor) that it would hurt your head and heart. Lampoon, specifically in newspapers, is defined as a satirical way of presenting the contents including long text and shorter written pieces, a section of actual news items (dubbed “half-meant issues”), photos, cartoons and comic strips. Themed with humor, irony and exaggeration, this issue exposes and criticizes the stupidity of the stupid and the foolishness of the fools because there is nothing painful when we look at the speck of our brother’s eye and notice the log in our own eye. With the use of satire in this special issue because of our freedom to express, we intend to incite social change and influence the minds of the apathetic and apolitical to think that “Hey, we got these issues here, don’t you think we should do something about these?” What is the use of those eyes, ears and mind of yours and mine? This is our celebration of democracy; this is the beauty of democracy. In the light of provoking and or preventing change in a good humored way, TNn hopes those affected will improve their characters by overcoming their dim-wittedness. The presentation may be unconventional but only the critical minds understand this humor. You got it? Congratulations! If not, then you are not ignorant enough to be called intelligent. It is all about witticism and understanding in a kidding manner while considering the gist seriously. In the contrary, we do not intend to misinform the public for explicit intentions and project the false as facts. Let us foster critical and creative thinking and encourage the people to observe matters from different and healthy perspectives. Tired of hearing news that upsets you? Well, we are also tired of writing those, so this lampoon issue is for you! Read, laugh and be upset more!
How I killed ‘The NORSUnian’ Brace yourself for the jawdropping articles that we have in store for you if you haven’t been shocked with the urban slum dwellers— some of the poorest, most vulnerable and most marginalized Filipino citizens being the easy preys in the murderous anti-narcotics campaign waged by President Dudirty. Oh, wait! Don’t stay late at night. Be careful, or else you might be suspected as a petty drug dealer or an addict. If you don’t have that convincing power of proving your innocence, then just face your sealed fate.
Discover what’s hot and what’s not this semester. If a university is burned down or destroyed, all current students can immediately graduate with a bachelor’s degree. Who could ever stop us from burning the university if it would lead all of us to graduation? For sure, students who are tagged as Out-of-Place (OP) will agree. Instant diploma, you want? Congratulations, now you can do what you’ve always wanted to do and what I must continue to postpone. No more failing grades, and INC (incomplete) and NG
(No Grade) marks on your student grade form, no more class preps, no more tedious org meetings, and no more demands for evidence of “productivity.” Sooner or later, you’ll be jealous of the way your mean professors are happy without you in class. You’ll miss those know-it-all Doctorate/ Master’s degree holders who are fond of bragging themselves and humiliating students. I bet they never participated a seminar for ethics. You’ll be left out with the latest student-teacher love teams on campus. Trapped in the four walls of the office, we— members of the editorial board, spent time on brainstorming how to revive The NOISYnian (TNn) while immersing ourselves with the current national and local issues that we are facing. Sorry, the taken-for-granted The NORSUnian can’t cater your selfish interests right now. Why? Because it is dead for 168 hours. After all, TNn will write for you until the last ink drops.
#TriggerED #LOOKWHATYOUMADEUSDO #BAHOKUNOGLAMPOON #DON'TUS
Few pages have already been scanned. Few heartwarming emotions have already been unleashed. Do you wish to continue? Of course, we all do. Laugh. Smirk. Scream. Only the dead can’t appreciate this issue. Good luck, my friend. [DISCLAIMER: TN is not a research publication. We strictly observe journalistic writing, and so we don’t directly publish researches in the newspaper. Technical writing is far way different than journalistic writing, don’t you think? If you really want your researches to be published, then visit the Research and External Linkages (REXIL) office and find the editorin-chief of the PRISM publication. Perhaps, you’d not easily insult them because the staff members are already in Graduate School unlike us who are still undergraduates. Oops! This makes me wanna sing in 3… 2… 1… Batobato sa langit. Ang tamaan ay huwag magalit. Alam na man nating kung sino ang tuso.]

NORSU levels up to ‘Center of Affection’
CAUGHT IN THE ACT. An adorable Norsunian (center) proposes in front of the students to her beloved teacher at the university canteen.
Nalin R. Mascubado
Taking the title as Center of Affection, Negros Oriental State University has hit 88.69% on the number of students and faculty relationship over the first half of the non-academic year 201718. Commission on Highpay Education (CHED) publicly declared the university’s rare achievement through their official Facebook page on October 5. Roselinda Abalangabala, University Sekyu Management Opis (USMO) head said they have already caught in ClosedCircuit Television (CCTV) numerous incidents concerning students and teachers, and have informed the Bored of Rangers (BOR). “It is indecent and
disturbing, kon pwede lang jud ipakita sa public ang videos…makaulaw ning title [Center of Affection] na gihatag nila sa ato,” Abalang-abala added. Joel Limestone, university president, said he had no idea that his beloved students and faculty were entangled romantically and would like to appeal the title of Center of Affection. “Center of Excellence ang akong goal para sa university, I believe the university is partly at fault for lack of guidance,” he said. Jane Makavega, senior computer science student, said, “Unsaon man nga gugma man jud ning amoa ni sir? Let’s be open-minded and be democratic.” Henry Patolbata, one of the instructors, said his relationship with his
student is not wrong and clarifies he is not bribing the student with additional grades in a subject but he is teaching in exchange for sexual acts. “Naa pakos akong mid20s ug 18 na ang akong uyab, di na siya bata, kabalo na siya kon unsa ni among gisudlan,” Patolbata said. Some students and teachers have already submitted a signed petition on allowing their relationship to the Student Appears and Services (SAS). Meanwhile, Hulyo Bentarelo, SAS director, said, “Natumban na jud ang ethics sa pagkateacher ani…we will be coordinating with the board in investigating and deciding on the just punishment for those in this kind of relationship.”
fake news. “I’m just giving you a piece of my mind tungkol sa fake news, alam ko ang sakit, kasi ako rin ay biktima ng fake news,” she said. Over 6,000 Norsunians came to take part on the seminar, however, the crowd went out of control when Aryo Seyin Amalayer, senior Social Science student said, “Nabibiktima din pala ng fake news ang mismong nagpapakalat ng fake news?” The commotion began when Uson responded to the student that she found
his words offending and that she would blog about how ignorant Norsunians are with social and political issues. “Ni-research ko din kayo, alam ko kung gaano ka groundless at illogical ang mga post niyo sa NHF [NORSU Hidden Files],” Uson added. Dario Makakurog, crowd control officer, said they had a hard time in stopping the students in throwing a fit, “Maygani ang barikada ra ilang naguba ug nakagawas ra nga safe si Mocha Coffee.”
Norsunians join Nat’l Bike-Walk to School Day Casa j. LamponyetE
Aiming to fit in healthy lifestyles and to lower the country’s greenhouse gas emissions at the same time, 2,000 Norsunians joined the National Bike-Walk to School Day in Dumaguete City, October 16-17. The two-day national event was realized together with the transport and labor groups’ nationwide strike to protest on the government’s public utility vehicle (PUV) modernization program. “What a coincidence!” Kring-kring Rosa Praning, Federation of Stoogent Government president, said, “Hindi naging problema
ang nationwide strike. May National Bike-Walk to School Day din naman kasi.” According to Department of Health secretary Presko Inosente, children and adolescents should get an hour or more of physical activity each day. “Gusto ko ring magexercise ang mga Norsunians,” Praning said. “Kung hindi man underweight ang mga students, overweight naman. Parang ‘hitting two birds with one stone’ lang ang peg.” Along with health, Roselinda Abalang-abala, University Sekyu Management Opis (USMO) head said the event is focused on safety considering the fact that
“walking or riding a bike to the university is safer than facing the risk of vehicular accidents.” “Ang dami namang arte ng gobyerno at may strike pang nalalaman ang mga tsuper,” aviation senior student Maryang Mataray said. She further said, “Simple lang naman. Mas kaunting sasakyan, mas walang traffic at polusyon. Bike-Walk ang solusyon.” As of press time, Praning plans to suggest to the Bored of Rangers (BOR) the significance for the academe to have a bike-walk policy for students, faculty and staff with the positive feedback of the said nationwide event.

Prompted with the guest speaker’s claim, several Norsunians broke barricades during Mocha Coffee Uson’s seminar on responsible journalism on October 10 at NORSU gym.

VOL XXXV ISSUE NO 17-18 | SEPTEMBER 25 - OCTOBER 6, 2017
This series contains scenes and languages unsuitable for the uncaring audience, however, administrator guidance is not a must; other wise, they might ban the whole show and subject anyone caught watching for disciplinar y measures. “Winter is coming.” The mere mention of the said statement signifies a warning that shouldn’t be ignored. In winter, White Walkers are waiting, and this means a threat to the Seven Houses, all pre-occupied on how to gain supremacy amongst all. Based on Georgia Anyar Makinis’ best-selling book series, “A Song for Azure, Blue and Lily White,” this series has come to be known as the Game of Funds, which storytelling stays not only to the minds of readers, but to each of our respective houses which would soon wreak havoc if they read a mere synopsis.
House Dumaguete I & II “Hear me oink.”
Reigning for over 109 years, other Great Houses have sprouted as its wings across the lands of Negros Easteros. Contrary to what has been told about the incestuous history of its leaders, the series showed that even within its great walls, there is a seemingly not-so-well relationship with each other, following up with corruption— pretending they do not know how to spend the great funds while its vassals outstandingly need funding for their activities.
House Bayawan —Sta. Catalina “Fire and mud”
House Bayawan-Sta. Catalina offered a great deal of benefaction to House Dumaguete due to incoherent and insufficient distribution of funds in exchange of loyalty. But this didn’t turn out well. They are currently preparing a duel which aims the defeat of Dumaguete, not realizing that the war they are trying to create is one-sided.
House Siaton “As high as a drunkard.”
House Mabinay
“We do not sew.”
The House rebels against the Iron Throne, but no one really knows if they actually want to sit on it. They have expelled themselves out of the scene, but unfortunately, they haven’t even accomplished anything at all. Ending, they are somehow divided, and cling onto what would keep them alive. Certainly, they cannot really show anything. In Negros Eateros, they are waiting for a big break. Hashtag nganga.
House Guihulngan “We stand forever.”
House Siaton aims to soar high with wide wings but ended up flying low. They want to rebel, but not now. In order to fly high, they must stick themselves with other Houses and somehow go with the flow amongst others, after all, nothing is better than stabbing friends in the back and winning after wards. The House’s land is located in the far South of the Negros Easteros. No wonder why they fly down. Oops!
Houses Bais I & II
“Typhoon is coming.”
Proclaimed as Rulers of the North, the Houses’ rulers have had a well relationship with each other but still vie to be the houses in par with Dumaguete. Unfortunate events have come to them but they seem to be capable of handling things on their own. There’s not much to say. Proceed to the next.
Located in the Great Guihulngan Riverlands, this House is great in the field of Agriculture. But if you ask a GOF fan-wannabe, he or she would probably scratch his or her head since it is one of the Houses majority will forget whenever they enumerate the Seven NORSU Houses because they are too far from civilization. It won’t even be a surprise if rebels invade them. Their motto says, “We stand forever”— but of course, wala talagang forever!
House Pamplona “Ours is not the fury.” If House Guihulngan seems to be the outcast, then you have never heard about House Pamplona. It is said to be that this House is an extension of the House Dumaguete, but it almost extinct. As much as they want to be a part of the Great Houses, they can never really have the fury. Now, the White Walkers, a.k.a. ‘students’, are waiting. They are waiting for the administrators of their respective Houses to notice them, hear them, but they are pertained to as legends because no administrator would want to believe their existence. It probably isn’t new that man of all age, status, and face – may they be as high as kings, sturdy as knights, or conniving as liars – vie in a dangerous game for control of the Seven Houses of NORSU, to sit atop the Iron Throne and manipulate the ever-kept P 1 billion worth of funds. But if you still don’t get a hint of what the series is about, I suggest you watch it. You be the judge.

As you gaze at the mirror, you laugh at what it shows you. You laugh at your own reflection. When you realize the fact that you are laughing at your own mistakes, you either feel sorry or annoyed. Madam Bertud, the pub’s infamous astrological forecaster, is here to the rescue. Let the stars foresee your fate. Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 10. In Judaism, ten men are the required quorum for prayer services. How about your way of praying? Perhaps, an atheist would not mind.
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is an 11. In a class having a teacher who is fond of failing students, the survivors and the students who are tagged as “The Fallen 44” deserve 11 guns in a gun salute. Besides, it is amazing how the poor academic performance of the students affect Virgo their teacher’s teaching ability. (August 23-September22) Today is a 6. A six digit income is what everyone wants, and so being a degree holder is an asset to reach that dream. But wait! How are your INC (Incomplete) and NG (No Grade) on your grade form? Instead of worrying about whether you’ll graduate on time or not, just eat a lot of spaghetti this year for a Leo (July 23-August 22) longer life. Today is a 7. Witness the seven wonders with your friends on campus. Notice the functioning HD Smart televisions (TV) that are only used for accreditation purposes, and find time checking whether the water fountains are still working or not. Huwag maging dayuhan sa sariling unibersidad. Ganun lang.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) Today is a 9. Nine sounds the same as the word “longlasting” in the Chinese culture. So, may forever pala sa Gemini people. Forever alone.
Libra (September 23-October 22) Today is a 5. Five days of work a week. This is the time for you to influence the NORSU offices about the no-noon-break policy. Perhaps, you are in a good mood!
Cancer (June 21-July 22) Today is an 8. Spending eight hours of sound sleep is an ideal sleeping habit. No matter how busy you are, sleep for the betterment before you become one of the zombies chanting, “Nagaral, nagpuyat, bumagsak. Werpa!”
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) Today is a 4. Your fourwheeled vehicle can’t help you with the transport and labor groups’ strike to protest on the government’s public utility vehicle (PUV) modernization program. It is better for you to just walk or ride a bike when going to school.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18) Today is a 1. One mind, One heart, One NORSU. You will be unable to cope with much of anything this year. Sorry. Perhaps, Madam Bertud finds it hard to have a wild guess about your fate. Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) Today is a 3. Three is a no-no in a relationship. The moment when you become the third wheel of the group, you realize that there are no easy answers. For example, if you have a dog who is a Bichon Fwrise and Shih Tzu mix, is it called a BichTzu or a Shih-Chon?
Capricorn (December 22-January 19) Today is a 2. Two is better than one. This week, you might find yourself lying awake in bed early in the morning while listening to “Two is better than one” by Taylor Swift on repeat and crying softly into your pillow because you’re still single since birth.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) Today is a 0. Experiencing zero tension is impossible in college life. Brace yourself for more class preps, more tedious
org meetings, and more demands for evidence of “productivity.” When you think there’s no one else to lean on, just remember to light a candle. Panagkot na lang. Haha.

Student activists rip grade forms
Kennot Sy S. Sorryna
Like historical Pugadlawin, they tore grade forms shouting “No to status quo!” Student activists of Negros Oriental State University (NORSU) gathered at the campus court on October 20 and tore their grade forms demanding change in the
enrollment scheme. “Let these torn papers symbolize the system and our desire for better change!” Hasolka Ayo, students’ welfare advocate leader, said. “Nikuha kos grade form pagka-release nila, pero I.R. [Incomplete Remarks] man nigawas. Nagpaabot kog semana before nagpaevaluate pero N.G. [No
Grade] man gihapon. Minor ra ni nga subject ha,” Waykla Ro, education student said. The group demanded the instructors to follow class schedules, lesson plans and examination schedules, and pass grades before enrollment to save students’ time and effort. “Ngano man gud nila paaboton og enrollment usa mopasag grades? Mabalaka na
gani mi, mahasol pa gud,” Ro stated. Affected instructors admitted their errors and inconsideration done to the students, thus, vowed to serve better. “Everyone in my office respect their opinion and they were right. I guess stress ra pud mi tanan and trying to escape reality, nalimot mig balik.
Sorry,” Anne Laag Gone, a part-time instructor, said. Meanwhile, members of the group voiced out their concern against the alleged over-charged printing of evaluation forms and demanded the evaluation form to be free of charge. “Dugay na ni nga isyu pero bisan unsa nga reason ang ihatag nila, dili jud ko
modawat,” Hasolka Ayo said. “If libre gani ang paghatag nila sa grade form, why not libre na lamang sad ang evaluation form? Pangwarta man nuon ni ilahon,” he added. The university heads are taking the matters into consideration wherein university registrar Remilo Kadakpan said it would take some years to be deliberated.
LSO set to utilize Buglasang booths ‘17 tt
Markito B. Pakito-pakito
Laliga de S tudyante Organizations (LSO) president Clint Johnsnow Grammar laid the society’s main plan to use Buglasang Festival booths on Founder’s Day. Grammar coordinated with the province’s governor after witnessing how the materials used were wrecked and thrown out by the workers, “after a long discussion and convincing, they [the province] gladly agreed on our request,” he said.
The initiative was pushed through since the university cannot allocate funds to the 78 registered student oganizations. “Instead of demolishing the entire booth, why not donate the materials or the entire booth itself to NORSU? Maka-save na ang mga bata, makatabang pami sa state college,” Negros Oriental governor said. The governor is quite curious on how the administration is running the university and catering the students’ demands, and questions how the university’s money is being
used. “Sa tinud-anay lang, bilyones gyud ng kwarta sa NORSU pero sige nalang ga ingon nga walay kwarta. Asa diay napunta? Gitagoan ra? Naunsa! Gina-compromise nila ang activities na dapat para sa mga estudyante,” the governor said. Student leaders have started their preparations. Vencio Maayo, Engines and Archipelago student society president said he commended the LSO president’s initiative. Maayo furthered, “Dako og tabang nga naay booth daan kay makaluoy ang mga estudyante pa mismo
mohakot og kahoy ug motukod,” Maayo said. Kora Tan, BS Massaging (BSM) student said, “Tungod sa ka-inot sa university, gipagawas nalang namo na donation ang among pag-amot para sa booth para di maissue. Maayo ni ron kay maka-save namig time and effort.”
to disprove [the perception] that the dumped garbage in the said barangay destroys the environment.” “May pera sa basura,” Dumaguete City mayor Philips Repollo said in an interview with The NOISYnian (TNn), making use of the dumped garbage as a new tourist attraction in Negros. Candau-ay, according to Repollo, has artificial hills made up of garbage that could help improve the status of tourism in the city.
He said the budget for the relocation is more than enough, but his constituents are not persistent enough to have the project realized, so he negotiated with DOT to have the place recognized as new tourism destination, instead. “The odor of the area [dumpsite] is strong enough for the people to take a look and notice it, so why not make it as an attraction? After all, I am in support in promoting tourism of Dumaguete,” Repollo added.
Meanwhile, DOT Regional director, Sta. Catalina Tiyan III, approved Repollo’s proposal since it does not bend any legal document or republic acts. Tiyan even suggested to proclaim all dumpsites into tourism destination since there is a very low rate for these [dumpsites] to be transferred to a landfill. “This is a big step towards the progress of our tourism in Negros Oriental,” Tiyan said.
“Maayo kay nakahunahuna akong beloved students ana, however, there is really no budget for founders and we are still strictly implementing the no collection policy… that’s all,” Joel Limestone, university
president said.

Approved campus parking 2 Norsunians injured on Admin vehicle accident
Papers and books dispersed on the ground. Two bodies left wet in blood. Soon students flocked around. This was the scene after two Norsunians got injuries after being hit by an adminowned vehicle that lost control, running inside the campus vicinity on October 6. Victims were Kerwin Laag, 17, and Anna Mae Gala, 18, both freshmen education students. Based on the reported statement of the sole witness who refused to mention his name, the victims were just walking. Abruptly the vehicle’s bumper came their way in full speed.
“Wala dayon sila nakabantay kay kusog kaayo ang dalagan sa salakyan ug lisod kaayo makalikay kay gamay ra jud ang pathway sa campus,” witness said. Rey Pabaga, 56, driver of the university’s official vehicle, said there is no problem with faculty parking inside since they are staying inside the campus the entire day and the casualty is only a mere accident with both parties at fault. “Gadali ra jud ko ato mao wala nako na control akong pagpadagan…unya wala pud sila nilikay” he added. Meanwhile, Gala said, “Gitukod ang NORSU para makat-on ug ma-ensure ang safety sa mga estudyante
sulod sa campus, dili kay para parkingan. Ngano mang ang estudyante maoy mag-agwanta nga walay ka parkingan ang admin?” “Dili man gani mi ka parking nga mga estudyanye sa sulod sa campus.

Eww!” Several students were seen making iyak and protesta outside the campus, throwing placards and making sunog student handbooks to show their dismay to the admin’s abrupt decision. Alternatively, Lotlot and frens, first year students of Bachelor of Science in Nursing, expressed their thoughts in an interview with The NOISYnian (TN), “Mas chada ‘cause we’re like bagong kasal sa kasalan ng NORSU/ go back to page 6

Murag wala niagi og GMRC.” Raining complaints were sent immediately to the director of Student Appears Services (SAS) Hulyo Bentarelo and later on forwarded to CHED Region 7 director Fredie Bernalow. Bernalow said though not all professors with doctorate degree are performing
misconduct on their duties, generally speaking he reminded them not to abuse their position. “Sayang ang mga dissertation and original research natin kung arogante tayo. Right attitude and skills must be equal,” he said. As per mandate of CHED Center Opis, professors with doctorate degree in NORSU can still stay, but shall render service limited to office works, temporarily. Markedly, NORSU Human Resourceful Management Office (HRMO) opens 250 job vacancies for new instructors to replace those with doctorate degree.
