By: Jennyric Borromeo




On December 10, 2023, a Pride Celebration in Malolos, Bulacan celebrated the LGBTQIA+ community and emphasized the value of diversity, acceptance, and equal rights. BulSU Bahaghari, UP Babaylan, and many other schools joined the IpagLOVEan: Human Rights Day Celebration held in honor of International Human Rights Day. It drew participants from all over the Philippines in a vibrant show of inclusivity and friendship in hope that the government will heed their call to pass the SOGIE Bill.

The IpagLOVEan united individuals from diverse backgrounds, bridging geographical distances, in a vibrant and lively gathering. Participants wore white shirts featuring the message "Happy Equality", waved flags, and carried banners promoting acceptance, equality, and love.

Interactions between attendees and participants promoted a feeling of belonging and united with a common goal. During the event, speakers emphasized the value of creating safe spaces for everyone and the ongoing fight against discrimination through moving stories and messages.

The event was elevated by the fabulous participation of iconic drag queens, including the Zymba, Zilverzwan-Revlon, Mrs. Tan, Jan Merckz, and Deja. Senator Risa Hontiveros also conveyed her message for the event through a video, promoting equality and inclusivity.

In addition to honoring diversity, the occasion served as a forum for the development of understanding and acceptance. Stereotypes have been eliminated and understanding developed in the local communities as a result. The occasion acted as a spark for discussion and learning, eliminating myths and encouraging acceptance in the community. Through highlighting the solidarity of various Philippine regions, the IpagLOVEan: Human Rights Day Celebration showed the nationwide appeal of equality and human rights.

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

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 — 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 that do
