Philippines embraces China Is China our “companion”?
By Cine Cera
“Pumunta ako ng China, they just want to be friends. Binigyan ako ng armas, binigyan ako ng bala, eh hanggang ngayon wala namang hiningi, wala namang hininging teritoryo [I went to China, they just want to be friends. They gave me weapons, they gave me bullets. Until now, they have not asked for anything, they did not ask for any territory],” Duterte said during the PDP-Laban campaign rally in Malabon City Tuesday night. In governmental issues, they state, there are neither changeless companions nor foes, just perpetual interests. The issue with this real politic cliché is that it's solitary half-genuine. All things considered, interests themselves are not lasting, since our inclinations and objectives develop after some time, contingent upon our chronicled collaborations with the outside world and inner reflections on the importance and motivation behind presence. Also, this conveys us to the practically existential inquiry we face as a country today: Is China our "companion"? What's more, as needs be, has President Duterte's Beijing-accommodating approaches worked for our national intrigue? Since the start of this current year, a naval force of Chinese paramilitary vessels has swarmed Pag-asa Island (Thitu), which has facilitated Filipino troops and regular people for over four decades. From various perspectives, this is progressively looking like Mr. Duterte's very own form of the Scarborough Shoal emergency, aside from on a far more terrible scale. There have been upwards of 657 sightings of, and 275 individual Chinese vessels required, in what progressively resembles a hard and fast attack on Pag-asa. This is an exemplary Chinese "hazy area" methodology went for dislodging other petitioner states through organization of apparently "angling" vessels as opposed to utilizing warships. To begin with, it limits our developments in the territory, including our anglers. Second, it compromises and threatens our supply lines and observation exercises. Third, it spies and screens our support exercises on Pag-asa. Having constructed monster fake islands (likely utilizing our own dirt) and completely mobilized them with best in class weapons, China at last needs to rule the entire South China Sea without discharging a solitary shot. What's more, the organization of paramilitary powers is essential to the satisfaction of this goal. But then, Mr. Duterte demands that China is a "companion," a partner critical for our national improvement objectives. I've seen this is the President Duterte one sees each time he visits China, a nation he is set to visit for the fourth time in under three years. Amid the meeting, the previous city mayor leader depicted China as a formative accomplice, yet in addition communicated a pessimist see on the South China Sea debate. China may have been a companion eventually ever, a similar way majestic Japan and nineteenth century America were our foes at another point.

Moving Up Certified Legislature
By Kimberly Valdez
Is college degree an assurance to attain a good government?
Consultative Committee and Former Chief Justice Reynato Puno approved the review of the 1987 constitution regarding the college degree as a requirement of being a politician. In the same page, President Rodrigo Duterte also approved the proposal of having college degrees in different sector of the government.
Senators have the highest deliberative functions in the government. It only means that every senator in position are responsible to make and amend laws for the benefit each citizen. I definitely agree that senators should have a college degree for them to stand firm for the whole country.
As far as the other working place hired people with degree, how come the highest position in a country doesn’t entail college degree as a requirement before passing a certificate of candidacy.
Requiring each senator’s a college degree holder aims to elevate the kind of service that the future officials would give to Filipinos. With this, it will also increase the probability of electing much credible candidates.
Former Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago tends to prioritize the educational attainment of each official. She said in one of her speeches, “Any idiot can run for president and possibly poll a certain number of votes among his fellow idiots”. In this statement it manifest that an electionist who wants to have a position in higher government must have a reliable background inclined with politics. Basically, he or she should hold a college degree.
Credentials are one of the bases in choosing the officials but skills will not only build without the knowledge that we can get from school. College is one of the most important investments of education because it helps a person to dig deeper on the knowledge that he or she must have for a specific course that can also contribute on the outside work force. Earning college degree matters a lot especially in building a better nation.
Senators are responsible for the legislative side of the government. They should be educated on the laws and assured themselves that they will be an effective part of our administration, which holds millions of people who gave their trust and full support for the position that they deserve.

WHO IS TO BE BLAME?Unpoint fingers to others
By Jerico Fermin Maybe you have taken a naked selfie or video of you for your significant other, or you have let someone take a photo of you in the nude or while doing things he himself should only see and know about. Once that photo exists, and with the presence of internet, it is all too easy for someone to send or post it publicly without the subject's consent. Recently, there have been several people, celebrities or not, a famous couples having sex with each other, a young actress touching her breasts, and a veteran singer masturbating on a video call who have been a victims of hackers or by people they trusted and shared their private photos or videos with that have been exposed for the world to see. These scandals have made their rounds on social media and lasted for a month, with Filipinos becoming more and more uneducated and judgmental, for still blaming the victims on their nudes to be posted on social media even without their permission, like it was the fault of those who were involved. But, is there really something wrong when lovers recorded themselves while enjoying each other's company in bed, a young woman exploring her body, and an old person who just seemed like giving himself pleasure? Nothing. People may still believe that these acts are inappropriate, they are actually not. They are just a normal expression of our sexual selves in which we should embrace and celebrate, not condemned. What actually inappropriate is when you share a personal photo of someone to another person without his prior knowledge. The problem with us Filipinos is that we are too quick to judge. We really wanted to see other people's sufferings, and waiting those who are doing well to commit mistakes especially those who have a better life than we do. Another factor is the conventional belief that sex should be done after the holy marriage, it was instilled already in our minds while pre-marital sex is prohibited because it is believed to be dirty and immoral. The real perpetrators here are not those who were filmed while enjoying having sex, but those who leaked them and violated the privacy of these people. And we, as watchers, and sharers of the video could be imprisoned because it is a crime to watch what the owner does not permitted us to see. We don't realize it yet but we are already violating another person's private and intimate possession through watching these videos and making them viral. So what if they are having sex? So what if she is touching herself? So what if he is already old? So what if they are doing things that are different from your beliefs? It should not be a big deal but it will, when you do not mind your own business. They are just enjoying themselves, as much as you enjoy watching their videos. The only difference between you and them is that they are not doing anything wrong, but you are. The next time you see a scandal going around social media unintendedly, make it stop from you and do not share it to others too, or even when the subject gave it to you willingly that doesn't mean you have the right to share it with your friends or upload it publicly. Stop judging other people and start minding your own life.

OBVIOUS BOGUS Philippines, future victim of Chinese Money Trap
By Joshua Eric Fresco
China is a known ally of the Duterte administration. And an ally’s job is to support you in any way possible. As a developing country, the Philippines need money. That’s why China’s supporting Duterte’s programs by lending him massive amount of money. The “Build, build, build” program, two Philippine railway projects and 30 smaller projects are the confirmed government programs that are funded by China. But not for long, China will soon chase the Philippines with this debt if we can’t pay it on time stated on their confidential contract. And we are not blind about this because China is known for this gimmick as they already did this to other countries. An example happened to Sri Lanka. They loaned money to China for them to develop their infrastructure state. With the loaned money, they built skyscrapers, highways, airports and shipping ports which was a big boost for their country. Years later, Sri Lanka couldn’t pay their debt because of interest rates. So they handed over a port to companies owned by China. That’s how smart yet obvious China worked. But Sri Lanka is not the only victim, the same thing happened with South Africa, Egypt, Maldives, Papua New Guinea, Malaysia, Laos, Pakistan and Kazakhstan. They all fell for the same offer. Sooner or later, I believe Philippines will be on that list if we keep this run in our government. But behind this easy money gimmick which China is offering the poor developing countries. They’re chasing the natural features of a country like the land and ocean territory as the collateral on their loan agreement. This is a secret for some but China is trying to develop a new silk road with the territories or routes they got from the countries they called “allies”. And if they succeed, everything will be easy and reachable for them. As the world renowned video maker Nuseir Yassin also known as “Nas Daily” qouted, “The world is already made by China but I think slowly it will be owned by China.”

SLOWPOKE Slow internet, slow Philippines
Internet has been very useful to the people. It brings access to various and limitless amount of information through the use of browsers and search engines. It brings access to educational e-books for studies, communication between people worldwide, online money transactions, news updates, social media, and the like. Basically, it plays a major role in a day to day life of every people. In the Philippines, the average internet usage by Filipinos is 10 hours and 2 minutes per day according to a digital report by Hootsuite. And according to the reports from the International Telecommunications Union and Facebook Inc., 63% percent of the Filipino populations are internet users. But despite being one of the countries that mostly spends time on the internet, It is also one of the slowest internet connections in Asia with an average speed of 5.5 Mb/s. Slow internet connection in the Philippines has always been a problem for the citizens. Sometimes, the promised internet speed provided by network companies does not reach its given standards and it leaves people frustrated. Also, there are only few internet providers in the Philippines and most of them offer expensive prices. Internet problems will lead to our social progress and developments as individuals who are living in this age of information. It cannot be denied that the Philippines is suffering from a severe lack of ICT infrastructure, a huge challenge that we need to overcome in our country. The government should plant more cell sites all over the country to help the stabilization of internet speed or let the other international internet providers open their business inside for more affordable or cheaper prices. Filipinos should have access to internet. Paying a large amount of money for a substandard service will not even happen in the first place if the companies built upright service for their consumers. The government and other companies should try to think of more solutions for a greater good of accessibility.

WALK THE TALK Raise your flag, ladies!
As time goes by, women are receiving the equality they once hoped for. They showed how they deserve and should be served equal rights and treatment. Being in a family dominated by female, I saw how they are able to stand out firm despite any challenges that might come in their way. I saw how they are the ultimate multitaskers living in this world – juggling household chores, taking care of their children, going to the market for groceries, and even managing their working careers. Also, they are the best when it comes sacrificing their own happiness for other people’s happiness. The kind of emotional strength they have to conceal what they feel just to keep other members of the family unaffected by them. Aside from the power they possess inside the household, they have so much more in store. Once you see them transform into their career woman looks, they become unstoppable giving their best to their work and defying the concept of patriarchy in the workplace. Well-know female leaders in different industries in the career world is a manifestation of the influence they have. Weak is not anymore a description for women for they are able to withstand any emotional, intellectual, and physical distress. Any affiliated negative description or discrimination with being a woman are now questioned for they are not worthy for them anymore. To empower women is the least thing a fellow woman can do. But in a world where women are still being discriminated and degraded, it’s our duty to help and strengthen each other. Let us not be afraid to raise our flag, ladies!

WAKE UP!
Politics have always been an interesting topic to each and every citizen in a country, especially, Filipinos. From generation to generation, ever since the first former President Emilio Aguinaldo sat down in his office politics was known to be dirty, too many secrets in the closet, lies, and broken promises were made. The Philippines is a democratic country which means the power is on the people. We, Filipinos, have this we call election to nominate the rightful leader for us that’s why those people who are running for the positions aim for our trust and votes. However, if we’re going to look in today’s election and politics, many issues can be lay down and sadly, most of them are negatives. Most of us vote and vote but we really don’t know who we are voting and we don’t really see their real agenda why they badly wanted the position they are running because most people in our country only base on popularity, family backgrounds, physical looks, or can be because of lack of knowledge or interest and many other things that are not important. Now that election is coming again, many people should be more intelligent who’ll they vote. But why does some people are running again for the position after all their bad records and corruption cases? And are the citizens who’ll vote for them even thinking? They should never allow them because they already showed their true color and trust is being broken already. How can they even have the guts to face every citizen in their campaign with smiles on their faces after all they’ve done? I know everybody deserves second chances but when it comes to leading the public—I don’t think so. Why should we put someone on the senate who already stolen something that the Filipinos deserve. We should wake up and see who really deserves for each and every position. It’s saddening how the history is quite being repeated especially in politics. From the President that people are now bashing and making fun through different social media and even on prints up until to the senate and even to small cities. Everyone has their own goal, everyone wants to lift up their own chair and make a good image to the public instead of helping the country to be a better one. Many citizens are losing hope for the Philippines but we should not too. All we can do is to open our eyes and be an eye opener to others of the things happening in our country. We have the power to elect which is our biggest benefit and contribution in this country. It’s in our hands who will be the next president, vice president, secretary, senators and other positions needed.

Lady Falcons ends its season 81 with a bang
Adamson Lady Falcons clinched their second seed after slumping UP Lady Maroons in three straight sets, 25- 20, 25- 23, 25- 19 of their last game in the UAAP Season 81 Women’s Volleyball Tournament, last April 27 at Filoil Flying V Centre.
Both teams were screwed from a 13-13 in the opening set, but the Lady Falcons detonated with unstoppable run and never looked back.
The Lady Maroons popped up with a back to back points and trimmed the gap to three 22-19, but then unforced errors handed Lady Maroons that brought the Lady Falcons to set point.
Bernadette Flora attack error gave Lady Maroons a chance, but she bounced back overpowered a cross- court hit down the line, the San Marcelino crew drew first blood.
In the second set from a 7-7 deadlock the Lady Falcons fired off an 8-3 run, the Lady Maroons scored three consecutive points before Lady Falcons fought back with a 6-2 brought the tally to 21-15.
Chiara Permentilla sparked an ace and took Adamson to set point, but the Lady Maroons stopped the bleeding and stretched the third edge with three consecutive points and kept their hopes alive 24-23.
But Joy Dacoron carried away the set two with her perfect dish running attack.
The Lady Falcons off to a strong start in the third set with a slim 5-1 advantage and ignited to a 17- 10 lead, but the Lady Maroons recovered and made the deficit to two, 18-16.
However, the Lady Falcons soared high and scored five straight points and towed the margin to seven, 23-16.
Permentilla’s sharped serve with an ace rolled the Lady Falcons to match point and the Lady Maroons delivered three points to extend the game.
But the graduating Dacoron ended the game with her hammered running kill that landed in the middle zone of the Lady Maroons defense.
Thang Ponce was named the Player of the Game with 31 excellent digs and 15 receptions.
Permintilla dropped16 points while Dacoron had 11 markers.
According to Ponce, it was their last game that’s why they gave their all out to make it beyond expectations in season 81.
“Sinunod lang namin bawat sinasabi ni coach samin at saka last game na yun kaya binigay na naming lahat ng magagawa naming at syempre inaalay talaga naming yung game para kay ate Joy at ate Eli. Alam naman natin hindi rin biro kalaban ang UP pero siguro mas ginusto namin manalo,” she said.
(We just followed everything that our coach said and it’s our last game that’s why we gave our best to do what we can and of course we are dedicating this game to ate Joy and ate Eli. We all know that it’s not a joke playing against UP but maybe we are more eager to win this last game).
“Syempre masaya kasi kahit dalawa lang ipinanalo naming this season at least yung last game namin maganda tapos siya ng season na to at sana ganon din sa pagpasok next season 82,” Ponce added.
(Of course I’m so happy because even though we only won two games this season at least our last game was the best among them and I hope it will be the same when we enter season 82).
Ponce also said that, the Lady Falcons are much more awaited for the next season.
The Adamson Lady Falcons ended its campaign still at bottom-line in the standings at 2-12, but broke a nine- game losing streak.

GRIT Alma Matter will not matter
College is another chapter of life where you will root out the reliable ticket for success. You are in the driver’s seat choosing and banging away where school or university you will touch down. Does going off to well-known universities really matter in the long run? Summer is rolling again, this is the optimum time for the incoming freshmen students to embark on the next journey to enter, and it is their college life. Many of the students are composing their mindsets with various college applications and their time where certainly occupied on finding colleges or universities that is perfect for their career and fit for them. They are devoting time to work hard in studying, since they are chasing for the top colleges or universities in order for them to pass the entrance exams. It is truly nerve- wracking for them due to the standards that they aspire to in one college or university. But for other students, things don’t look quite rosy; it is not a big deal where they will go in college. Though they are also dreaming to get in to the ideal college or university, yet they have no choice they can’t do anything. Crossing the threshold into college is becoming progressively harder. Many of the students and their parents set down enormous stress on themselves to do utmost every possible action to get into well-known colleges or universities. We cannot deny the fact that, we are hooked with the belief of the majority that where we go to college will totally impact our ability to get a job and definitely that is one of the biggest factors students are considering when applying to colleges or universities. Having this mindset that the name and the ranking of a college or university is momentous and that will set you apart from others. The fact you will have better learning experience, high quality education, best environment, outstanding programs for your chosen majors, great benefits and advantages. As they said, it will open up a whole new world opportunity for you that will be a gateway to higher lifetime. Certainly, most of the people believe, where you went to college truly matter. Those words turn me to wince internally every time I hear them. As a freshmen student, this belief is absolutely not suitable for my perspective I have different view about it, because for me Alma matter will not matter in the end. I’m not saying that I’m against with the top universities I know all students have dream schools, dream universities and the parents want only to attach ultimate importance to seek and secure what is best for the success of their children. What I am putting into words here is that, not every student gets into a big name college or university and there are number of reasons why they didn’t nail it; some students fail to pass the entrance exams though they pour all of their hard works and heavy efforts on it, yet they need to accept the fact and move to another college or university and some have financial struggle with that they can’t afford to go to a better college or university, and those conditions of them doesn’t profoundly mean that they don’t have the intelligence and skills at all, that they cannot have great advantages and opportunities and they cannot be the same with the students who are in the well-known colleges or universities. Hear me out! A student works to lift up himself and not the university itself. I firmly believe that each university has its own identity. The problem with us is we often think that our first choice is the only path to success because you think that is the perfect one for you and when you can’t enter to that college or university pressure and anxiety will follow thinking about your future. Without even knowing that, there is more than one road to success. Some students fall into trap of thinking that top universities will always be the best. Don’t let yourself hold back by the gravitational pull of gossips about college, though it can deal a tough blow, don’t wallow too long. Be the director of your dreams and focus on how you will take advantage of every opportunity wherever college or university you wind up at. Never let the name of the school affect how you envision your wonderful future. It is about you and it is because of you. Maybe that school is in the books of top colleges or universities, maybe is not, put in mind that rankings don’t have to dictate your dreams. You are the voyager of your goals in life it doesn’t matter where you get into, what matters the most is how you will survive to it. You are unfortunate to study in the best university, but you can be fortunate in your own way. To succeed you have to see the big picture out there. You know what? If you are determined and dedicated enough and you have the great passion in your mind and heart, certainly you’ll get what you really want to and it will keep your dreams alive. It is about embracing everything, your perseverance and everyday hard work will definitely lead you to success, just keep on striving to thrive on the challenges. It is not always about greatness, it’s about consistency of pushing yourself to the limit, and it takes sweat from your huge efforts. Keep your eyes on your goals than the name of the college or university. You can study hard and work smart, to make your social and academic connections broad. There are so many things that are going to matter beyond the name of the university you attended. Your work ethic, discipline, character and aptitude will influence your future more and having those things, you will give yourself the best opportunity to reach your goals. We are placing standards in the matters that we should not have to. We think they have to be something that rapidly stuns everyone, something hard to attain, something that only the best people can have, and something that everyone desires. Mind you, no matter which college or university you go to, you will shine. You are the one honing your strengths to be better you, it is in your hands regardless of where you are. There are so many successful people out there who did not come from big name universities and honestly didn’t finish their studies, but they have given the best gift that they could give to themselves which is a successful life. You will get where you need to be when you really planted it in your mind, you can overtake the doubts and your breakthrough will surely arrive. At the end of the day, we are all in the same fields running and hunting to get a job. We are all the same presenting ourselves in the best way we can. We are all the same struggling. We are all the same dropping sweat and working hard. Wherever you go to, you will still experience different situations like everyone else. The skills you have mastered are what employers want to see most. They want to see the proof of your hard work and that distinguishes you from others. Your sweatshirt doesn’t have to be the same pigment as theirs if you have the persistency, resiliency, perseverance and you are passionate to work hard you’ll always have a job. It might not necessarily matter where a student went to college. It’s the fact that he or she did. It’s not the school rules your success but yourself, your volume of drive, your strong commitment and willingness to learn. You are not in top college or university, yet still you can be on top in the long run.

The Noblest ending in history
EPIC! GLORIOUS! AWESOME! All of the tremendous words to describe fits in this marvelous movie.
After all, Marvel's biggest and best ever blockbuster is the culmination of 11 hard years of work and 22 separate films. You'd think that they'd want to pull out all the stops in order to close this chapter of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in style.
Directors Anthony and Joseph Russo have made a three-hour epic that flies by, just like Infinity War did in 2 hours and 40 minutes. Yet Endgame multiplies the scale tenfold. Adding Captain Marvel to the lineup of familiar faces, it has way more heroes, way more destinations and way more complexity.
Last year Infinity War was a perfect villain movie that revolved around the bad guy Thanos with the quest to "balance the unvirerse by wiping out half of all life with the snap of his fingers". Endgame brings the focus back to the surviving Avengers as they fight to avenge the fallen heroes.
The shift in focus brings a change in tone, marked by the camaraderie between Captain America (Chris Evans), Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and the rest of the heroes who headlined 2012's The Avengers. With the likes of Brie Larson's Captain Marvel and Paul Rudd's Ant-Man on board, this one goes lighter as it turns toward the heroes with plenty of humor and even some absurdity mixed in with the heartbreak and dizzying action sequences.
The Russo's gave us a moment that sometime in three hours of "Endgame", and it's scene that will have fans all over the universe parsing it out like a silent film-style with circles and annotations. And beyond the sheer adrenaline of that impending impact, seeing so many characters on screen reminds us that “Cinematic Universe” isn’t a term being thrown around willy-nilly; all these principal characters and pals and sidekicks and armies add up to an impressive mob of metahumans, and the film efficiently directs all this traffic.
In addition, as we see Captain Marvel (Brie Larson), Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) and another female character, and another, and another, all stepping up to take care of business. The MCU may have been slow to give us a film with a female headliner, but they’ve been building a deep bench of women characters all along.
Avengers: Endgame” isn’t about anything, really, except its own internal mythology and where it all goes from here. And knowing the realities of filmmaking and the needs of an ongoing franchise, it builds most of the viewers theory and expectations that give the hype of the movie.
No wonder why it shatters Philippine box-office records as it posted P937.5 million over the four days since it opened on April 24, making it the film with the biggest opening weekend of all time.

STRAINER Vilest Scheme of segregation
Competition is always a factor in any aspect of the Philippines and also in the world. It is within human’s nature to do better and be on the top. Yet, people develop this attitude more in school (one of the foundations of molded-being) because grades narrate the capabilities of a person, thus it perceives of how good he or she in different work fields. According to John Nicer Abletis, a researcher from Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP), academic achievement means a condition wherein a student has high grades, could have won curricular (academic) contests, has a big chance to become one of the school’s cream of the crop, has a reputation of being an academic achiever, and is being looked-upon by his/her teachers, classmates, and other students. Student-sectioning is a common practice of schools, whether public or private, with considerably large student population. It is mostly part of every school’s educational-organizational management strategy. This system directly affects the perspectives, behaviors and social interactions of each student. People perceived that those who are part in the “star” or “special” section, known to be “intelligent”, “smart”, and are good when it comes in academics than any other students. On the other hand, those who have an average performance were classified as general sections or the lower sections. Sadly, I can say that grades measures the competencies of a student. Students in the higher ranks may feel too much pressure in their studies because they must be productive or competitive for they are with the top of the batch. Sometimes, they tend to cheat because for them, grades matter the most. They are also seen as superior for they are called as “spark plugs” and more knowledgeable in different aspects of education. Also, they choose their friends based on their levels. “Lower ranks” will either exert more effort in their studies in order to be qualified on the top or just say “bahala na, basta makapasa lang.” Sometimes, they remain languish with their performance due to the lack of confidence and self-esteem. They also feel that there is unequal approach between them and the higher ranks. Moreover, peer issues arise for they always thought that they are not belong to the group of “brainy” students. Grades don’t define the mental capability of a person. Students were gifted with different unique skills. But for me it seems like not being on the special section degrades a student. They will consider themselves as not smart enough, not worthy of their parents’ financial support, and not enough as a person. This kind of mentality may lead to suicidal thoughts. On the other hand, higher ranks are more likely “grade conscious” that they value grades a lot. For them, not reaching the expectations and standards of people around them is a big failure. Depression also occurs. Divisions should be eradicated in schools to break pressures, assumptions, and expectations within competencies. Let no walls divide the students with their own intellectual abilities. It’s their right to have a good and equal education in each classroom. End the stratification---segregated system in schools. No to labels!

Falcons off to a great flying start as enrolment commence
Adamson University (AdU) continue to render a marked increase of enrollees for academic year 2019-2020 after they had opened doors for incoming freshmen students last April 22, 2019.
Within its first week, a 38% inflate with AdU’s enrollment rate has been recorded comparative to last year’s statistics. And as the month of May came forth, slots were being filled in by hundreds of new Adamsonians.

Letter to the entire AdU community
A message to the Adamson University (ADU) community by (Sgd) Fr. Marcelo V. Manimtim University President was posted via Adamson University official Facebook page last April 29, Monday.
Fr. Manimtim has expressed his concern on the upcoming elections this May 13, specifically on the national level.
On his statement he said, “I am calling on the Adamson University community to take an active part in the May 13 elections. Take a deliberative and critical stand on the candidates, particularly on the candidates for the senate,”
“Look not so much on their party affiliation, their standing on the surveys or on the political machinery that support them. Investigate, rather, their advocacies that are supported by their accomplishments,” he added.
According to Fr. Manimtim, the youth should think for their future as it will help them shape their decisions on the elections. He encourages them to share just valid information with their friends around their area.
The schedule of Final Examinations will be after the elections. Faculty Members and Registered Student Organizations were advised to deliberate and discuss important concerns to the youth of Adamson University.
