Heed the call.
Amid the worsening political and socio-economic crisis, now more than ever, the studentry and the Filipino masses need fearless and critical journalism that does not remain silent but stands alongside them in the pursuit of truth and justice. Yet press freedom remains under attack, from campus publications to independent and alternative media, journalists continue to face red-tagging, harassment, surveillance, and state repression. The administrative interference against Primum,alongside continued detention of community journalist Frenchie Mae Cumpio and the extrajudicial killing of RJ Ledesma, underscores the dangers by those who dare to report.
In the face of these attacks, it is imperative that journalists persist in their mandate to uphold the people’s right to know, confront the machinery of disinformation, and remain unyielding against the silence imposed by an oppressive system. To write is already to choose.

NOW HAPPENING | The UP Stand Against Pax Silica (UP SAPAX) conducts a press conference, aiming to address and amplify student demands against the Pax Silica initiative, at the UP Mindanao Atrium Steps, November 10, 2026.
According to the University Student Council (USC), the press conference is a collective discussion on the Pax Silica project and its threat to Philippine sovereignty, which only aims to advance imperialism and unequal economic conditions.
“As Iskolar ng Bayan, we must refuse to be passive spectators as imperialist powers seek to dictate the economic and political direction of our nation. Our universities must stand at the forefront of resisting foreign domination and defending the interests of the Filipino people,” the USC stated in a Facebook post.
