Today marks the EDSA People Power Anniversary, NOT February 24.

While EDSA as an event stays in the past, our efforts to enact its democratic ambitions continue in the present. May our spirit keep alive as we dream of a more just, compassionate society in the future.

We duly note the Citizen's decision to take down the opinion piece and apologize to people who may feel aggrieved after reading. By holding to journalistic tenets and extending empathy to the LGBTQIA+ community, we hope to serve you better.

[The Citizen @thectznadmu]

STATEMENT: Over the past few days, we, The Citizen, underwent consultations with our stakeholders and members about a piece that failed to consider the perspective of the LGBTQIA+ community. We apologize for this error and to everyone who was hurt.

Read our statement below.

In light of the conflict between the nat’l government and MILF forces last 11/08, the Ateneo Assembly calls for stronger peace mechanisms this 11/11. With that, we manifest peace, love, and solidarity among our Moro siblings.

Inaanyayahan namin ang lahat na maghatid ng tulong sa mga nasalanta ng Bagyong Paeng sa pamamagitan ng mga donation channels ng @_TangingYaman (TYF). Tumatanggap ang TYF ng pera at in-kind donations (de-latang pagkain, hygiene kits, at mga damit na di pa nasusuot).

PAHAYAG SA #PAENGPH: Ugnayang pampamahalaan, susi sa ating kaligtasan

Saludo kami sa pagtulong ng ating mga kababayan at pinuno sa mga lugar na nasalanta ng Bagyong Paeng! Tuwing nagbabayanihan tayo sa oras ng sakuna, mas marami tayong buhay na maliligtas. A 🧵.

[The Ateneo Assembly @AteneoAssembly]

Bilang mga mamamayan, katuwang natin ang mga LGU at ahensya sa pagtiyak na ligtas ang lahat. Alam nating mahihirapan tayong isantabi ang mga alitan, pero susi ito sa pagsasabuhay ng bayanihan para sa pagbangon ng bansa at pagwasto ng mga dating pagkakamali sa pagtugon sa krisis.

However, if information about the budget remains inaccessible to many—with the crucial details only visible in livestream recordings—the student body would not truly engage with the Sanggunian. Ultimately, the latter risks robbing itself of the voices of its own constituents.

[The Ateneo Assembly @AteneoAssembly]

A historic presidential veto. A budget miscalculation of over 88k. Indeed, the past few days have been consequential for the Sanggunian and, especially, the student body. A thread 🧵.

[The Ateneo Assembly @AteneoAssembly]

Transparency begets engagement, the latter of which is two-way. The Sanggunian could open up more channels to monitor how the budget is used so that the student body can offer more feedback regarding its initiatives, thus serving everyone’s interests further.
