Editorials
These were the editorials I wrote for The UP Parser (see Campus Journ). During my tenure, we released 7 issues, though the last one didn’t feature an editorial. The editorial cartoons were drawn by our uber-talented artist, Mai Sibayan.
If you’re looking for articles infused with political awareness and nationalistic fervor, I’m sorry to inform you that you won’t find them here. I chose to focus on Department-related issues, as there was no avenue to tackle them save for our student publication.

While apathy is rampant in the nation, apathy in smaller communities such as the Department is also a major cause for concern.
Coming of Age
The Department sets out towards a bold, new future as it moves into its new building, nicknamed “Mount Olympus” and “Helm’s Deep“.
