Paskuhang Masa: A Juan Christmas Special

Image
 By: Eleonor Reyes Christmas is known as the jolly season of the year. This is the celebration that brings us closer, where we share our laughter with our relatives and loved ones, and of course, can we even forget about the exciting gifts? But even without that, the presence of our friends and family is the greatest gift we could ever receive. While this is the most awaited time and probably the joyous one, itโ€™ll be the opposite for some. Lucia, a cigarette vendor in the vicinity of Malolos Cathedral, shared that she will be observing Christmas on her own this year.

Em, a seasoned tricycle driver with over 5 years of experienc...

 By: Jennyric Borromeo, Jeweleen Enriquez โ€œAng relasyon ay โ€˜di parang laro, halimbawa, di naman kayo nagbabahay-bahayan, talagang tunay talaga, kasi ginusto niyo โ€˜yan parehas na mag-asawa โ€˜yan,โ€ says Ricardo Carrera, 64, as her wife of more than 40 years, Virginia Carrera, 58, smiles and agrees. โ€œAng relasyon dapat pagtibayin niyo,โ€ Ricardo speaks. In a world that often seems to whirl at an accelerated pace, where trends and fads come and go like fleeting gusts of wind, there exists a rare and enduring phenomenon that stands as a testament to the strength of human connection โ€” long-lasting relationships. When a lot of Filipinos thought that love teams in a long-term relationship would be the end-game, they are yet to be reminded that some love are not exceptional and everlasting. Just like how Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla broke many hearts with their sudden separation. Picture this: A ballroom in space where couples dance without stopping, their steps timed to the music tha...

The campus canteen promotes a budget meal suitable for every student's pocket, but for some students it is still not affordable . In an interview with Lanz Vergara a freshman from the College of Arts and Letters, he stated that some stalls in BulSU are budget friendly but some are not. "For me may mga stall na oo sulit sya but meron ding hindi. I can say na mas budget friendly yung mga meals sa CON Canteen, kasi sa halagang 100 pesos mabubusog kana kasi talaga. I usually separate my budget kasi sa food so 100 pesos lang talaga ginagastos kahit na 300 pesos ang baon ko a day kasama na ang pamasahe pauwi. When it comes naman sa medyo mahal na food, namamahalan ako sa food sa CSSP stalls, halagang 65 kasi minsan ang konti ng s...
