Beyond the Rank: One Score, Two Stories

A number may capture an achievement, but the stories behind it reveal the perseverance, purpose, and convictions that make it meaningful. For Maria Nya Nkara Borja and Ivy Jane Peñaredondo of Ateneo de Naga University, their shared rating of 92.80 and eighth-place finish nationwide in the September 2026 Psychometrician Licensure Examination mark not only a milestone, but two distinct journeys shaped by a common desire to understand and serve others.

Nakatingin ba ang Diyos?

Echoes of the River: Naga City's 1972 Tragedy

History tells us that bridges connect people to places, and places to people. Perhaps a bridge’s heaviest weight is not the people who stand on it, but the stories it carries through time. And when one collapses, the weakest link is not always its foundation, but the system entrusted to keep it standing. Do you know the Colgante Bridge?

Sino Ba Talaga ang Bayani?

We have been taught to recognize heroism by its monuments: a name carved in stone, a face printed in textbooks, a death dramatic enough to become a national memory—but perhaps a country is also built by the people whose names never make it onto one.

Three months after James Jazmines and Felix Salaveria Jr. vanished five days apart in Tabaco City, their families are still waiting for the state to answer for what witnesses and CCTV already show.

Censored Freedom

Press freedom is celebrated so often that the calendar itself seems crowded with reminders of it. Perhaps that is the cruel irony of commemorating freedom in a country where the press must constantly prove that it is free. How free are we, really?

Nasa hawla si Martha. Pero sino ba talaga ang nagtayo nito? Isang pagsusuri sa 'Sayaw ni Nanay' (BETCo x CEC)—dula ng debosyon, kahirapan, at ng presyong dapat bayaran ng isang ina para lang matawag na mabuti.

Ang Conyo Mo, Pare

Hindi Ingles ang problema. Ang problema ay kung paano natin ito ginawang simbolo ng talino, propesyonalismo, at mataas na antas ng pamumuhay.
