The Bicol University College Entrance Test (BUCET) results for Academic Year 2025โ€“2026 have been officially releasedโ€”and with them, a wave of both celebration and heartbreak. From a total of 18,953 applicants, only 5,406 were accepted, while 1,450 landed on the waitlist. These numbers are more than just statistics; they reflect the growing intensity and competitiveness of gaining admission to Bicol University.

โ€œEverybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.โ€ But does it really make the fish foolish? Or just the judgement? It is a conflict of a man versus himself once again for the Bicol University students as recent exchanges of hurtful words and โ€˜trashtalksโ€™ were thrownโ€“which only started with a humorous comment. While the scorching heat among colleges and campuses intensifies and feels like a tight game in the finals, the temperature on social media platforms remains unfazed and cranks up to a whole new level, as they kick-off a heated discourse about forte and intelligence hierarchy. This is after a consecutive exchange of debates regarding the comparison among Institute of Physical Education, Sports and Recreation (IPESR) and other colleges and programs of Bicol University.

Kasing kunat ng hindi-gaano napakuluang taba ang kasalukuyang pamamahala. Ilang buwan na ang lumipas simula nang nguyain ng mga Bueรฑo ang mga katagang โ€œUniversity for Humanityโ€ na tila nakapapagod sa panga at nakasusuka sa sikmura. Wariโ€™y mga salitang pilit isinungalngal sa lalamuman upang hindi makahinga at makapagsalita.

Kindness Has No Face

In times of crisis, the first response from the government becomes a lifeline for survival. However, it is also during these times that politicians create a platform for themselves to be seen. This practice of printing their faces on relief goods must be called out for what it is: exploitative and unethical.
