The organization was one of the affected
student-based organizations in the institution caused
by the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to Mr. Israel Gallogo, coordinator of TINGOG
and Lasallian Yearbook Publication Center, members
were highly affected by this situation—thus, they were
inactive for two years, and Br. Butch Antolin Alcudia
III FSC, Vice President for Lasallian Mission, urged to
revive the organization.
Out of more than 30 applicants, only 23 students
succeeded, notifying them through their University
email. The campus press was on the verge of
disappearing, but despite all of the hurdles along the
way, the determination of former members to bring
back the organization became a reality.

Back on duty
Mr. Gallogo could not deny the joy that triumphs his
heart, seeing the successful launch of ‘Tingog
Comeback’ through reviving the inactive Facebook
page through consistently posting short yet precise
news updates during Panaghugpong 2022.
During the deliberation to revive TINGOG-CPO, it was
instructed to Gallogo to launch the group with only ten
members. However, he was later informed by Ms.
Tefanie Matutes, current Editor-in-Chief (EIC), that this
number of student staff is insufficient – thus accepting
everyone who listed their names during the
recruitment process. Although not everyone showed
up during the first meeting, he’s somehow thankful
that the current members have shown commitment,
dedication, and effort for their craft.
With the members’ impressive chemistry while doing
their tasks, Gallogo feels hopeful that as the
publication gradually shifts to the online platform,
they would stand more firm “regardless of any
upcoming hurdles.”
