CORRECTION
In the masthead of ThePILLARS, Karl Benedict Perez, Research and Development Director, and Marifer Mameng, Associate Research and Development Director, were inadvertently omitted. The position "Associate Managing Editors" was also misspelled. This has since been corrected in the online version of said release. ThePILLARS regrets the errors and apologizes to those affected.
EDITOR'S NOTE
ThePILLARS apologizes to its readers for the delayed release of the June 2024–May 2025 issue. As the official student publication of Ateneo de Naga University, timeliness is part of the responsibility we owe the community we serve, and we fell short of that standard.
The issue was conceptualized and produced under the Editorial Board 2024–2025, but its release did not fall within that board's term. The transition to the Editorial Board 2025–2026 meant the issue had to be passed down, along with the institutional knowledge, sourcing, and editorial decisions already built into it. That turnover took time to manage well, and the delay that followed was the cost of getting it right rather than rushing an incoming board through work it did not start.
We take this experience as a lesson in how ThePILLARS handles editorial transitions going forward, and we are committed to releasing the next broadsheet issue within this semester. We thank our readers, sources, and contributors for their patience and continued support.
— ThePILLARS Editorial Board
