Abundance Towards the Diamond
Years” stream via online channels

where the discussion focused on the
university’s future and the comamunity’s
role in achieving the objectives of providing
high-quality education to students and
how it will contribute to the nation’s
advancement as an academic institution.
“There is no going back to the
way it was before, because right now
things are going to be different after the
pandemic—there are three periods you
have to listen to: pre-pandemic, pandemic,
post-pandemic, or what we call the new
normal. There is no way we are going
back because reality has brought several
changes,” said Dr. Gisela Luna, University
President, after being asked on what to be
improved for TUA to be running back again
like it was before the pandemic.
Dr. Luna added that the first thing
to be done is to conduct a methodical
and systematic assessment of what TUA
has and can do as it advances. She also
mentioned about the gaps that must be
addressed since the previous two years
have diminished the quality of the facilities.

students should be exposed to a variety of
co-curricular and extracurricular activities.
“High school is a year of identity crisis,”
Mr. Somera stated as he also explained

that JHS students must also prepare for

high school is a vital year for students to
figure out what they actually want as they
go to college.
Dr. Francisco, on the other hand,
was concerned with developing medical
technology skills other laboratory
procedures since licensure exams are
required for medical technology and the
recent passing rate is less than half of the
takers. It has made Dr. Francisco to focus
heavily on student quality and his goal for
the students is to overcome difficulties and
prepare learners to become leaders in the
future growth of world-class registered
medical technologists.
Meanwhile, Dean Ulgado-Rosas
claimed that she faced the most difficulties
because she was appointed at the height of
the pandemic. She shared that she had to
tread carefully when it came to assisting
students with mental health issues. With
the aid of everyone at CBMA, she said that
they were able to adapt to developments in
the real world of business.
Students from different colleges also
shared their obligations and responsibilities
and how they were able to conquer all of it.
Subsequently, another set talked about
the challenges encountered, namely Dr.
Teresita Capacete, Officer-in-Charge of
the College of Arts, Science and Education;
Arch. Marjorie Marfil-Obsum, Director of
Building Administration and Maintenance
Unit; and Ms. May Ann Laciste, Manager of
the Center for Education and Technology.
Dr. Capacete highlighted the
importance of co-curricular and
extra-curricular activities to the total
development of students while Arch.
Marjorie Obsum assured that her office has

made the entire campus safe and adheres
to the health protocols set by the local
and national government. For Ms. Laciste,
she is thinking of ways on how to train
the faculty to offer the new courses using
the Hyflex which is a learning system that
combines face-to-face (FTF) and online
education. She mentioned that this will
helps students improve their skills and
continuous progress is needed to be done
in order to achieve it.
Another set of student leaders
also shared some insight on how they
dealt with the responsibilities they have.
Commonly, they value teamwork and time
management in order to fulfill their roles
both in their academics and organizations.
They also instilled the core values of a
Trinitian student to overcome difficulties as
a student leader.
The last set that tackled their stories
of challenges were Mr. Homer Balmes, OIC
of Student Affairs Center, and Ms. Jeanette
Victoria Naval, Director of Guidance Center.
Mr. Balmes explained that the
main challenges were the context of
communication during a pandemic, yet he
later on realized that there is still a need
to appreciate and explore ways to connect,
people just have to efficiently utilize
resources.
Based on Ms. Jeanette, doing their job
requires prevention of being overwhelmed
to perform what needs to be done, just like
reaching out to students, making facebook
pages, setting up email accounts, and
converting all resources into an online
form.
The first day of the week-long
celebration concluded with a song of
prayer by TUA alumni.

Big tech’s erosion of democracy
Where do we go from here?
While the official proclamation of
the Philippine election are still on the
horizon, it is no joke that this immense
populism and historical revisionism is the
result from big tech’s lack of adequate
safeguards against disinformation. This
election season has further confirmed my
suspicion that we live in echo chambers.
As a result, we are quick to dismiss any
opposing ideas and the popularity of said
ideas.
My feed has been filled with
movements from the opposition, and I
thought we had a fighting chance. Sadly,
with the numbers coming in, I might
have been misled by algorithms that fed
me what I wanted to see based on my
internal biases. It honestly feels like the
Philippine internet is divided into two,
one that reads credible news and the one
that does not.
Suppose the media had enough time
to respond to the information vacuum
that has now been continuously filled
with fake news. In that case, we might not
see the majority of Filipinos forget our
painful history. Sadly, the media are facing
problems on both sides, silencing and

being attacked by the government. On
the other side, big tech and propaganda
are outpacing traditional news outlets,
leaving room for more disinformation.
The media used to be the gatekeepers of
information but now that role has been
given to tech companies whose primary
motivation is not of the truth but of
profits.
There is a saying that democracy is
only as good as the education surrounding
it. But when you constantly attack sources
of information and the truth, democracy
is eroded and subjected to populist and
misinformed beliefs. When these things
happen, we can see the tyranny of the
majority, the same thing that led to the
rise of populists throughout the globe
from Trump, Bolsonaro, Duterte, and now
Marcos.
These falsehoods weaken our
democracy by weakening the institution
and everything surrounding it. When our
democratic institutions are weak, we see
abuses of power and tolerance towards it.
Fake news discredits the truth and
facts but also puts the credibility and
perception of the victim and the media in
question. As people grow more skeptical
of the press, the power of the fake news
peddlers grows, and the people that read
their propaganda become their captive
audience.
My friend once said that we should
stop looking at misinformation and
disinformation as social crises but it is also
an epistemological crises. A war waged
against reason and knowledge is a war
against truth. If there is no truth, there are
no facts; how can we truly see the world
objectively? How can we see the world
for what it truly is and was?
If there are no longer facts and
objectivity, how can democracy function?
To fight disinformation, we must
tackle it head-on; we must make people
who don’t believe the truth trust it
again. Fighting disinformation is not just
rebutting people with “well according to
my research.”
Fighting disinformation includes
convincing, educating people with a
heart, trying to understand where they
are coming from, and debunking their
perceptions. While cold heart facts might
be great, I’d say when talking to someone
that is misinformed, we shouldn’t
Can we change history?
Growing up, history has always
been a favorite subject of mine.
I always loved learning about
how things came to be, and why
they even happened in the first
place. I had a deep interest in the
relationships between different
countries and what made historical
icons, well, icons.
From a young age, we were
always reminded of the importance
of studying history, and if not that,
we were taught the importance of
looking back at certain events in
our life; without these past events,
there would be no present, and if
we never learn from the mistakes
of our past, we would be making
PIERROT
Jean Andrei G. Senen | Managing Editor
the same mistakes during our
future.
I was also taught to pick up the
good attitudes and throw away
the bad ones; I believed that this
didn’t only apply to attitudes and
how we treat people, but I retained
the idea that this could also apply
to the lessons we learn from other
people.
History is chuck-filled with
lessons. Often it is said that if we
do not learn from history, we are
bound to make the same mistakes.
But there is a tricky part in
history, wherein it is more often
than not, written by the winners
or those who survived. And
nowadays, I’m beginning to learn
that history can surprisingly be
subjective, given that people have
different experiences throughout
certain events.
Take for example, while others
will remember past storms and
typhoons as nothing too lifechanging,
but maybe a gift even,
because school and work had
been suspended and because of
the cold weather. But this only
counts if you live in higher, nonflood
prone areas.a If you lived in
a flood prone area, or maybe even
in the provinces that got severely
hit by the typhoon, of course you’d
remember it as a horrible thing.
Or when the COVID-19
pandemic had hit in the early
2020’s. Others will say that the
pandemic had brought onto them
much-needed rest and bonding
antagonize them, but we should make
them trust and make them love the truth
once again.
I will be honest with you; every news
outlet will have a slant or something
lacking in their reportage. But that
does not mean they want to feed you
misinformation and propaganda. It also
does not mean that they are secretly
colluding with elites or whatever
conspiracy you have in your mind. As
readers, it is our job to corroborate the
facts and read multiple news sources,
even those outside of our identified
political spectrum. Journalists from any
news outlet are not immune to any errors,
hence why ‘erratum’ exists, so it pays to
fact-check your journalist.
Lastly, the most logical solution is
the hardest one; it is to hold big tech
accountable for the erosion of democracy,
not just here in the Philippines but also
worldwide. Legislation needs to be
passed to make sure that big tech will
control the spread of misinformation and
disinformation in their platforms.
Until that happens, we need to tackle
disinformation head-on.
time with their families, since
everyone couldn’t go out and was
quarantining at home. And plenty
of others, such as myself and a few
others I know, would remember
the pandemic as something that
stripped them away of work and
motivation, and left them in a state
of depression, anxiety, grief and
despair.
History itself is not subjective–
what has happened has happened,
and there is no denying the
truth. What is subjective is the
experiences of others. Someone’s
experience is always going to
be either better or worse than
someone else’s, but in no way does
that mean we disregard someone’s
experience.
But then again, that doesn’t
mean we can change history to
fit a personal narrative either. Just
because the rain was a blessing
for you does not mean it was not a
burden to another.
Almost a month after the
2022 elections have passed,
I constantly ask the people
around me the same question I
ask myself every time. Where do
we, Filipinos, go from here?
I woke up to an already tiring
day, having slept only a few
hours while desperately clinging
to the hope that somehow the
unofficial tally of the results
might change. It felt like I was
going through a breakup. To
even kickstart my morning, I

Do you ever wonder why scientists
resorted to civil disobedience?
The time left for saving the Earth
was recently estimated at only three to
five years. Whether people will believe
it or not, natural and scientific evidence
do not lie. Warnings were neglected
over the decades, restoration
efforts were blatantly forsaken, and
consequences were unequivocal. Bet
that other people even laugh at their
peaceful protest, but mind you, it was
effective in waking up the sleeping
environmental affection instilled in
almost everyone on this planet.
If I were in their shoes, I guess that
I would not think twice of doing the
same thing. With all the modernization
and technological advancements
that we are savoring, do admit that
every single person is to blame.
These scientists would not protest for
nothing and as a citizen, I feel how
desperate they are to risk arrest and
urge people in bid to resolve this
climate crisis.
The alarm has been ringing since
then.
VERACITY
Sophia Viviane B. Datu | News Editor
Peter Kalmus, a part of the Scientist
Rebellion, was one of the NASA
scientists who chained himself in the
JPMorgan Chase. This bank is known to
be one of the world’s largest investors
in fossil fuels. Kalmus imperiled his
career for the future of the Earth, his
sons, and the generations to come.
Climate activists and ecologists of
the Scientist Rebellion founded the
movement in order to persuade the
world leaders and government to start
addressing and minimizing the impact
of climate change. They have no time
for blundering and take every chance
to remind and raise awareness to
people, yet only very few heed to their
calls.
Note that it takes a global effort to
fix this, but step one starts with you, in
ourselves.
Humans are the root of this
devastation, perhaps, humans are
also key to resolving this. Start with
simple solutions now– there is no
more room for procrastinating.
Reduce your own carbon footprint
by walking, biking, and using public
asked me this question, I would
probably be rich by now. And to
answer, I have a very optimistic
approach to this matter. We
should not lose hope. Right
now, I see a generation full of
people who are open to change,
volunteerism, and fighting off
disinformation. People grew
tired of the same treatments
and are now willing to take a
step toward changing that. It is
a remarkable scene to witness,
and it is an honor to be a part of
it.
We have started a movement,
so we should finish it. Now
more than ever, Filipinos need
each other. We should also take
this time to learn more about
politics and immerse ourselves
in our culture and history.
Our advocacies should live on
transportation whenever possible.
Conserve electricity and water, use
paper bags and eco bags instead of
plastic, and bring your own spoon,
fork, and straw whenever eating at fast
food chains or staying at cafes. Also
remove unnecessary and trash emails.
As much as possible, dispose your
garbage properly and practice the 3Rs.
The to-do list goes on and these are
just basic yet worthwhile steps in the
long run.
See, the pursuit of profit had cost
the priceless nature.
So spread awareness until it
compels the higher authorities. Keep
demanding for the larger corporations
and companies to be obliged and
partake in halting the impact of
climate change, knowing that they
are the main perpetrators. They
spawned majority of pollution that
contributes to the biggest share in the
ongoing global warming. If only these
companies and institutions started
to cooperate, then the Earth can
eventually breathe.
Stiil, the alarm will continue
ringing.
It will only be silenced once good
faith efforts are made– ultimately.
Truth be told, this was just once a
science lesson that is taught during
primary years of education. However,
the lessons we learned just sank and
were forgotten to be applied.
while we aid the marginalized
and those in need. We should
practice spreading facts-based
information and help stop the
escalation of false ones. Respect
goes both ways. We should
coordinate and give chances
to our new government. Let us
stay vigilant and call out any
wrongdoing. In summary, let us
be better citizens.
At the end of the day, we are
Filipinos. We are all affected by
our decisions. Let the feeling
of hope prevail from the fear
and sadness we have felt over
the past few days. I know it is
easier said than done, but it is
worth a try. Let us be active in
our movement towards a better
system and a better Philippines.
We may have lost the battle, but
we sure as hell did not lose the
war.
Due to delinquency, irreversible
havoc is reaped. The clock is ticking,
all we can do is to act with urgency.
Protect this only planet we live in at
all cost. This is a must for everyone,
everywhere.
Do you feel any pressure right
now? I hope so.

January- June 2022
Breaking the chains of misogyny
It is no secret that Philippine society is not as progressive as it muses itself to be when it comes to its
treatment towards women. From the weaponization of scandals and leaked videos, to the ad-hominem
attacks against a woman’s appearance rather than the evaluation of her character as a whole, as well as
normalized misogyny; society has put a premium on the condemnation of womanhood.
There is an air of deeply-rooted shame that is burdened upon Filipino women as they grow older. Life
lessons are taught through warnings, whereas their counterparts are always encouraged to simply strive
for their goals. This may seem like a smaller social issue, but it has come to the point that it is so rooted
in our society that denigration creeps into becoming a norm in the lives of everyday Filipino women; this
bleeds out especially during pivotal moments in history, such as the upcoming elections. Within the campaigning
period of the different electoral bets and partylists alone, we can already see how women are
painted in contrasting views: some portray strong, intelligent women, others show women who conform
to the male standards of success, and others blatantly continue to objectify women for a cheap laugh.
Beyond political agendas, the degradation of womanhood is very much alive, more so thriving. With the
rise of social media and the concept of dark humor, misogyny is modernized through content from the
internet. Lest we forget the several sex scandals leaked onto social media, with netizens jokingly asking
for links and berating the women within the video. It seems as if blaming women for scandals (that often
aren’t even true or posted within their consent). It seems that in some way, women are always the one to
blame for things they were never responsible for.
In the struggle for a better tomorrow, it is important to recognize the small things that contribute to everyday
misogyny: the idea that only women are capable of doing household work, the idea that womanhood
is only fulfilled through traditional means such as motherhood, shaming, Where women are told to
strive in domesticated fields and to take on more traditional roles, men are always told to take advantage
of their surroundings, and are told to strive for greatness. Women who strive for the same things in life
are ridiculed and belittled for their achievements, whereas some men have a sense of entitlement that
they are destined to succeed.
In this new era of gender fluidity,
breaking stereotypes and breaking
norms, perhaps it is time for
us to completely acknowledge as
a society that we cannot continue
to let the little things become
bigger and bigger. Our traditional
values have taught us to de-value
those around us, and it may be
the time to show that we are the
generation of true change.
This is not a callout to men, per se;
but this is a callout to the actions
of men that lead to the inequality
and injustices towards women.
But this is also a message of empowerment;
a message that clearly
states that womanhood should
not be equated to weakness, but
there should be strength found
within it.
