This issue also tackles the ways sectors tell emergent stories and the way such is obscured by dominant forces. As vernacular writers use writing and translation to grapple with an uneven Bangsamoro peace process and forward decolonization, queer scholars continue to weave...

All the while, the US-led Pax Silica coalition bats for a 1,618-hectare industrial hub in New Clark City that will feature minerals processing facilities and data centers.

As political crises deepen, foreign business stays on top. Filipinos continue to spend hefty out-of-pocket expenses on medication and treatment subject to price gouging by multinationals.

Covered in the pages too is a fire in Parola Compound, Binondo that left 2,134 families in precarity, while corporations push to cut hundreds of trees on Quirino Avenue, Manila to build the Southern Access Link Expressway.

The Collegian also discusses the rare impending Super El Niño that threatens to destroy the livelihoods of farmers and fisherfolk. Meanwhile, the state continues to shortchange evacuees of the 2017 Marawi Siege with delayed compensation claims and slipshod housing.

Save for his latest attendance that was crucial for securing the votes to permit the recent leadership shakeup and a looming warrant of arrest from the International Criminal Court, he is not expected to appear before the Senate anytime soon.

This new warrant is for the plunder charge which is non-bailable. Estrada is now the highest-ranking official with involvement in the flood control debacle to be arrested.

[Philippine Collegian @phkule]

JUST IN: Sen. Jinggoy Estrada has submitted himself to authorities. This comes at the heels of the Sandiganbayan’s filing of an arrest warrant for plunder against him.

Lastly, Ross Tapsell, Associate Professor of the Australian National University, floated the prospect of resetting the Southeast Asian internet by revisiting concepts like the digital divide, ...
