I refuse to believe that contractualization ended when all that changed was its name. Recently, legislators have once again refiled an anti-ENDO bill to address pervasive contractualization in the Philippines. This is a stark reminder that promises to undo and end the practice have yet to translate into real protection for workers.
Independent candidate Tristin Karmel De Mesa, a 4th-year Architecture student, was proclaimed as the new Chairperson and Student Regent (CSR) of the Bicol University (BU) University Student Council (USC) for AY 2026–2027 after a live canvassing of votes from 18 colleges, with results showing an evenly divided council among political parties and independents. De Mesa secured 12,660 votes, while BU Leaders: League of Democrats standard bearer Camia Verallo received 4,499 votes, giving De Mesa a winning margin of 8,161 votes.
In a defining moment for medical education and student leadership in the country, Jerralson Paguio of Bicol University College of Medicine (BUCM) was named Top 2 in the “Natatanging Mag-aaral ng Medisina ng Pilipinas 2026” during the awarding ceremony on April 11. The award, one of the highest recognitions for Filipino medical students nationwide, placed Paguio among the most distinguished future physicians in the Philippines.
Tila napurnadang kadena ng behikulo ang itsura ng hanay ng mga komyuter sa gilid ng kalsada ng Daraga, Albay habang nag-aabang ng pampasaherong dyip nitong Marso 19. Isa sa kanila si Rica Galoso, 24 anyos na saleslady, na papuntang trabaho sa Legazpi City. Halos 15 minuto na siyang naghihintay, subalit ayon sa kaniya’y mailap noong mga oras na iyon ang pagdaan ng mga pampublikong sasakyan.
Cold wind drapes over the city. Fierce drops of water drizzle onto the cemented floor. The sound of sirens echoes through, as the "once-safe" shelter turns a mellow rainy night into a bloody mishap.
Concerned Drivers and Operators-Pagkakaisa ng mga Samahan ng Tsuper at Operator Nationwide Bicol (Condor-Piston Bicol) organized the second wave of the transport strike in the province on March 26 at Daraga Park as the oil and gasoline prices continuously increase due to the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East.

Isang daan at siyam na pu’t isang kilometro ang lalakbayin mula sa maiingay na sulok ng Bicol University tungo sa barangay ng Malasugui, Labo, Camarines Norte kung saan matatagpuan ang puso ng BU alampay. Sa mumunting komunidad na ito umusbong ang isang sining na naghahabi ng kahel at bughaw na tela na siyang nagdudugtong ng simbolo ng tagumpay para sa mga BUeño at ang buhay na kulturang CamNorteño.

Ang pagkalayo ng isang ina sa kaniyang pamilya nang pansamantala ay tila sala-salansang kargada na sa araw-araw ay dala — lungkot dulot ng pangungulila, at pag-aalala sa kalagayan ng pinanghuhugutan niya ng sigla.

This year, however, the celebration is met with a clash of colors—some seeing only one shade of womanhood, while others recognize the full spectrum, igniting debates on inclusion and the evolving definition of what it means to be a woman.

𝘯𝘪 𝘉𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘖𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘰 | Yung mga self-proclaimed-student-leaders, kahit wala namang kayang patunayan ay talaga namang tatakbo sa konseho.
