The LATHE

The LATHE is the official student publication of Batangas State University - Pablo Borbon Campus
(4)

OUR HISTORY

The LATHE is derived from a piece of wood-making machinery used in the early days of Pablo Borbon Memorial Institute of Technology. The name would, later on, be passed from one generation to the next, strong in its primary objective to uphold responsible scholastic journalism. The oldest running student publication of Batangas State University marked itself in history as one of the mo

st competitive tertiary publications not only in the region but among the entire Luzon island. It is home to the writers who penned some of the most historic moments of the University. It never ceased to signify that Batangas State University has provided a top-notch successful journalism program to a brood of truth-seekers and progressive artists in the name of press freedom. Like its namesake, The LATHE is built on the ideals of honing minds on the immense responsibility of a free press and its undying principles of democracy. The LATHE is Batangas in fervor, a spartan in strategy, and a Filipino in practice.

Habang ginugunita natin ang mga Pilipinong nagbuwis ng buhay para sa kalayaan, patuloy ring ipinaglalaban ng kasalukuyang henerasyon ang isang bayang malaya sa katiwalian at pang-aabuso.

Sa kalsada man o sa iba't ibang institusyon, nananatiling buhay ang diwa ng paglaya sa bawat kabataang may tapang na manindigan laban sa mga tiwaling mapagsamantala.

Mabuhay ang sambayanang Pilipino. Mabuhay ang kalayaan!

Isang mahalagang bagay ang nawala sa pangangalaga ni Ding. Itinuturong salarin ang sidekick ng isang Hollywood superhero.

“Bahala na si Batman!” saad pa nito.

Si Robin na kaya ang susunod na Darna dahil itinakas niya ang bato?
