Lintunganay sa tinood na kagawasan

Sipi ni Dr. Rogelio Bayod 

Asa na man ang mga isog nga aktibista sa UP ug uban pang universities? Nganong hilom man mo karon nga ginapamastamasan ang edukasyon pinaagi sa plano CHED Education Committee nga tangtangon ang ubang General Education (GE) subjects apil na ang ETHICS?

Kung sa national issues, kusog mo musyagit og hustisya. Karon, nga mismo ang kinauyokan sa edukasyon ilabina ang pag-umol sa panghunahuna, pamatasan, ug pamalandong giatake, nangita ko sa inyong mga alingogngog nga mga tingog dinhi sa social media.

Ang pagpanalipod sa GE subjects ilabina ang ETHICS kay dili lang kay para naa moy mga trabaho kay daghan sa inyoha mga teachers sa philosophy ug ethics. Para ni sa kaugmaon sa nasod. Kung kuhaan na gani ta og tulubagon sa pamatasan ug kritikal nga panghunahuna, unsa nalang mahitabo sa umaabot nga mga lider sa atong katilingban?

Panawagan ni sa tanan nga edukador, estudyante, ug aktibista: Mata na. Barug na. Panalipdi ang kalidad ug integridad sa atong edukasyon. Dili ta anang activism na adunay pinili. Di na mao ang lintunganay sa tinood na kagawasan.

Gazing into the Abyss of Political Decay

By Prof. Menelito Mansueto (MSU-IIT)  There's a circus in town but we need to know who the real clowns are. The desecration of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ is a manifestation of the way power politics operates in this country. The recent attacks on VP Sara Duterte is not very different from the old style of character assassinations. But it is KOJC Pastor Apollo Quiboloy who has become the proxy in the war between the House of Marcos and the House of Duterte. Now is the season of politics.  The storyline goes to show that once again Philippine democracy is the loser. Instead of spending on infrastructure such as the Mindanao railway or the Cebu - Bohol Bridge, billions of funds in the form of ayuda are used for politicking. We are wasting public resources on bad political habits and practices. The government is functioning like an organized crime syndicate where stealing public money has become rampant. But the story extends further.  What is appalling is that those who que...

Power and Politics: The Limits of Legality

  By Givheart Dano "Let the court decide." These words have been echoing, attempting to balance the tremors of today's issue regarding Duterte’s arrest. Legal minds have tried to justify this, yet their opinions remain divided, it all comes down to how they interpret the law. However, the truth about Duterte’s fate in the face of justice has yet to be determined, as the ICC has not yet rendered its judgment. The ICC claims to be the entity that will bring justice for crimes committed in his own country. But one may ask: why outside his own land? Of course, returning to the legal perspective, the ICC still has jurisdiction despite the Philippines’ withdrawal from the court during Duterte’s presidency. This withdrawal does not strip the ICC of its jurisdiction, as cases were already filed before the withdrawal took effect, allowing the ICC to retain its authority. However, even among the judges in The Hague (ICC), opinions are divided on the question of jurisdiction, which ...

The Different Types of Filipino Masses: From EDSA to Duterte

-
Image
  By Oliver Perater  Former President Duterte and Former President Marcos Sr. have something in common, both awakened the Sleeping Political Consciousness of the Filipino Masses. The former, however, made the masses rally behind his back while the latter made the masses rally against him. The Edsa People Power masses were driven by pure disgust for the former president Marcos. It was merely a phenomenon to remove him and his cronies without offering a better replacement. At that time, people seemed willing to allow anyone to lead the country except Marcos and his allies. In fact, it was a chance for the Communist Party of the Philippines to seize political power, but they failed to listen to the sentiments of the masses. People were never as involved in elections as when Duterte started to participate in national politics. Actively supporting a politician without being paid is a new phenomenon. Filipino participation in elections before Duterte was not as personal as it is now...
