Why are women still seen as objects? This is a question that continues to haunt our society. Despite countless articles and protests—both online and in real life—advocating for humanity and women's empowerment, not everyone truly grasps the importance of their rights. It is disheartening that even today, so many continue to overlook the inherent value of women. As a result, conflicts rise, leaving us unable to break free from the sickening mentality that society has built.

Why is this behavior normalized? It is exhausting how often women must endure this disrespect. Imagine a woman simply going about her daily routine, only to find herself objectified in public and sexualized on social media—reduced to a line on a ranking list, like an item in a store. Teenage boys are the ones who are often the perpetrators of these bothersome acts. Some excuse it as mere immaturity, while others claim "it is just how men are." These are shallow excuses; there is no reason for a person to degrade women, regardless of their age or gender. Perhaps they know what respect really means and just choose to disregard that fact.

It is horrifying that so many teenagers hold this mindset. Do they simply not care? Or is this just a way to boost their own egos because they think it makes them look cool? Either way, their reasons are pathetic. They rate a woman's physical features based solely on whether they find her attractive or not, acting as if they are all that, like grabbing their attention is so special. Their ignorance of this pressing matter is the root cause of why women continue to be dehumanized. If left unchecked, they will carry this mindset into adulthood, where they could become genuinely dangerous or, worse, easily influence the next generation. Instead of living in a peaceful environment where they can simply be themselves, women are forced to be hyper-cautious of what they wear or how they act around men just to avoid a dangerous outcome.

Again, this is not a matter of immaturity; it is a blatant lack of empathy and poor decision-making. Most of these perpetrators are students who spend a massive amount of time on social media. They must see, at some level, that their behavior is completely weird and awfully creepy, yet they continue to harbor these harmful thoughts. Furthermore, these boys have women in their own lives. While they may only target specific girls, they are indirectly disrespecting their own friends and family members who are women. Yet, they continue to strip away a woman's value, acting as if they are entitled to judge and objectify others. This behavior is so cruel that it severely impacts a person’s mental well-being. Due to these actions, women proceed to have difficulty in socializing with the opposite gender, constantly afraid they will experience that very same trauma. These boys are not only tearing women down, they are forgetting their fundamental humanity. Do they truly feel no shame for what they are doing?

Educating these individuals is vital; instead of dismissing their behavior as a "normal reaction," they must be challenged to shift their perspective toward women. People who still tolerates this kind of mentality must be held accountable for their insensitivity and forced to acknowledge that their actions have lasting effects on women's safety and well-being. Women do not exist to be objectified—they play a crucial role in society. They deserve the freedom to harness their strength, to lead, to protect, and to inspire the world that their worth far exceeds their physical appearance. We are no longer living in the past; it is time to demand fairness and leave these harmful misconceptions behind for good. Men must not only change for the better but also take responsibility for the damage they have caused. They need to offer genuine apologies to those they have harmed, outgrow the negative stereotypes society has normalized, and stop justifying their behavior. It is time to own up to their faults. Society must learn to reject these toxic perceptions and recognize a fundamental truth: women are not toys, but independent human beings whose value is as great as anyone else’s.

Bringing last year’s unposted moments back to light—still fueling the fire. Archive Embers highlights the scenes from the past to reminisce, treasure, and value the memories made because some stories take a little longer to catch fire.

A tribute to the past and a reminder for the present is to cherish every moment before it becomes history. What was once a lived experience is now a legacy for others to anticipate. Looking back at the moments that kept the spark alive last year, the heat hasn't faded; it’s just been waiting for the right time to burn.

2 out of 3 from the Courier’s archives: a fantastical world transformed the Gymnasium with the theme, The Greatest Showman. On November 22-23, 2024, the event elevated victorious, iconic, and striking performances to the crowd, finally out of the satchel and into the light.

Flames burn brighter when they’re shared, so reminiscing SHS Fest 2024 serves as a legendary remembrance of the bonds created despite the competitive atmosphere.

Student Leaders from local student councils, registered student organizations, and university-wide organizations assembled at the University Gymnasium for the opening day of Daluyon Leadership Camp 2026 on May 11, 2026, marking the beginning of a leadership initiative focused on collaboration, responsibility, and service.

The activity began with the “Para’d Sika” Outreach Program spearheaded by the Supreme Student Council in partnership with Centrum Fuel, where transportation workers received in-kind donations and fuel assistance. The outreach initiative emphasized the importance of extending leadership beyond the university and into the community.

During the Completion and Success and School Priorities discussion, PHINMA-University of Pangasinan Chief Operating Officer (COO) Ms. Catherine R. Garcia highlighted the university’s commitment to making the lives of others better. She also presented data regarding student completion, graduation, and employment.

Center for Student Development and Leadership (CSDL) Director Mr. Adele S. Traspe later introduced updated systems, expectations, and agreements for the student leaders for the incoming academic year.

The morning session concluded with the Pagbabasbas ceremony for newly elected and incoming officers, attended by college deans, SOG heads, university officials, and incumbent leaders to formally welcome the next set of student leaders.

In the afternoon session, CSDL Student Formation Unit Manager Ms. Ma. Carmela M. De Perio revisited the university’s “Making Lives of Others Better” module, reminding student leaders to practice 'pakikipagkapwa' in serving others. During the Director’s Hour, Mr. Adele Traspe emphasized that genuine leadership is grounded in accountability, character, and commitment to service rather than recognition or popularity.

The first day concluded through breakout sessions, where organizations and departments discussed evaluation reports and upcoming plans for the next academic year.

Did I come here out of interest,
or something closer to unease?

I’m wide awake—
holding a drink she chose for me,
trying to settle into something
I’m not sure I understand.
But the question keeps finding me—
why am I even here?
I look at the flower she handed me.
Something I once mentioned without thinking,
now resting in my hands,
like it was meant to matter.

Suddenly, I hear her voice—one that sounds heaven-sent.
It is almost impossible to name what I am feeling within—
something familiar, like a déjà vu I cannot trace back to when it began.

I walk beside her, careful,
letting her lead,
as if that might make things clearer.
It doesn’t.

Was it really a crime to be unsure?
To be uncertain?
And still, quietly, I ask myself—
who knows how I got here?
She’s certain.
She’s kind in ways that make this harder.
And I— I knew better.

“𝘏𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘺𝘢 𝘴𝘢 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘣𝘪𝘬𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘢 𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘥𝘰!”—a cry that now carries not just anger, but grief. The streets fill with voices, yet behind them are heavy hearts mourning the loss of Alyssa Alano, a student leader from the University of the Philippines Diliman, who was killed in a military operation in Toboso, Negros Occidental. She was more than a headline—she was a student, a leader, a life in motion. Her death leaves a question that refuses to be silenced.

On April 19, 2026, her life was reduced to a report: one of those killed in a military operation in Toboso, Negros Occidental. The Armed Forces of the Philippines called it an encounter with alleged members of the New People’s Army, insisting those who died were armed combatants. But against that version, another truth is being held just as tightly—by students, by advocates, and by people who knew her name beyond a list—that she was a civilian, that she was there for community work, and that she should have come home. Nineteen lives were gone in a single operation. And now, an investigation begins, as if answers can be gathered after the fact. But even as institutions search for clarity, the question lingers, heavier than before: when stories conflict and lives are lost, whose truth gets to live—and whose gets buried with the dead?

The Armed Forces of the Philippines, through its chief Romeo Brawner Jr., reduced her life to a single line: “𝘚𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘥. 𝘚𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨.”—a statement he made while insisting that Alyssa Alano was an active participant in the April 19 encounter in Toboso, Negros Occidental. The military further claimed that witnesses and supposed visual evidence showed her carrying a firearm and engaging troops during the clash. But beyond these claims lies a fracture in truth: while the state frames the incident as a legitimate armed encounter, reports and counter-statements point to the possibility that among the 19 killed were civilians—lives that, like hers, cannot be so easily defined by a single narrative.

Then came the question that lingered in public discourse, spoken with doubt and suspicion: “𝘚𝘪𝘯𝘰 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘳𝘦-𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩 𝘴𝘢 𝘣𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘬?”—as if her presence alone was sufficed to justify her fate. It is a question that does not seek answers but plants accusations. In a country where red-tagging has long blurred the line between dissent and danger, Alyssa Alano’s name was quickly pulled into that pattern. Her work, her intentions, and her identity were all recast to fit a narrative of suspicion. Rumors spread faster than facts, turning a student into a symbol of something she may never have claimed to be. In that rush to label, to reduce, and to accuse, the real violence is not just in the bullets fired, but in how easily a life can be rewritten after it is taken.

In the wake of it all, what follows feels painfully familiar—the quiet, calculated effort to make the narrative fit the action. When the state is questioned, it does not simply answer; it justifies, reframes, and insists. Even when doubt is loud, it is met with louder certainty, until repetition begins to sound like truth. In this pattern, activism is slowly recast as suspicion, dissent as danger, and those who speak out are made to look like enemies rather than citizens. It plants a dangerous norm: that to care too much, to question too loudly, is to be seen as a threat. When that idea takes root, it does more than defend a single operation; it reshapes how a nation learns to see its own people.

In the end, this is no longer just about how Alyssa Alano died, but about how easily a life can be taken and then rewritten. Justice cannot exist where narratives are shaped to excuse, where questions are met with suspicion, and where the dead are forced to defend themselves within stories they can no longer speak. To demand accountability is not to take sides—it is a call to refuse silence, to reject a future where truth is dictated by power alone, and to insist that every life lost be met not with justification, but with justice. Because if a student can be reduced to a threat, if a voice for change can be silenced and then justified, then the loss is not hers alone. It becomes ours. And the question she leaves behind will not fade: in a country that claims to protect its people, who is truly being protected—and at whose cost?

The last school bell has rung.

Everything felt surreal, like the air carried the weight of countless early mornings alongside our quizzes, exams, activities, failures, and successes. It sounded so peaceful, but also something tragic… a goodbye. These hallways that once echoed with our laughter now fall back into their natural silence, as if even the walls around us are trying so hard not to forget us. The classrooms we sat in day after day no longer feel like places of uncertainty, but have now become places we will long for years after we have passed.

It is not strange to think that time moved differently here. We spent our days building precious friendships, creating memories that we will someday call home. Even if this place stays quietly in the back of our minds, we know that someday, we will find our way back.

Because the things we leave behind are never truly gone. They live on in the laughter we remember, in the lessons we carry, in the achievements we hold onto, and in the people we have become.

And now, the school year has wrapped up. The performance tasks are done, and our exams have been submitted. The long nights have finally come to rest. Ahead of us is a break—a rest that we have long deserved. So look forward to the days to come, to the summer ahead, where you will make new memories—not just here, but everywhere you go.

But worry not, for someday, you will return here again. To create more memories… memories that you will once again call home.

Because for us, this wasn’t just a school year. It was a chapter in our lives. And now… we’ve made it to the next one.

Losing our limbs as humans would mean the loss of a critical body part that we can never get back, sometimes even leading to fatal situations—but not for flatworms, specifically planarians. This tiny pancake-like worm can survive a beheading, with the disembodied head even being able to grow its own body after a few days.

The secret to this seemingly magical power of theirs comes down to stem cells. While stem cells only make up less than 1 percent of the human body, the Schmidtea mediterranea—a freshwater planarian—has adult pluripotent stem cells spread all throughout its body. These are cells with the potential to grow into any other type of cell, and planarians just so happen to be good at storing them.

In most animals, stem cells are stored in specific places within the body called niches, where their behaviors are planned out and regulated by neighboring cells. These niches and their surrounding cells make it so that the stem cells are only responsible for doing or restoring a specific function in the body. For example, blood-forming stem cells are stored within the bone marrow in humans, where they divide and renew themselves to make new blood cells.

On the other hand, planarian stem cells seem to have no preference as to which function they perform or repair. New research from the Stowers Institute for Medical Research reveals that planarian stem cells have figured out a way to turn into any type of cell while being independent of a nearby niche.

Although there are great benefits to this discovery, much is still left to be discovered. Stem cells have the potential to grow into cancers when left unregulated. Stowers molecular biologist Alejandro Sánchez Alvarado says they aim to figure out the rules that govern stem cells and what guides them to become specific tissues instead of going rogue and growing into tumors, as tumors in humans usually begin when they ignore these rules

This discovery holds the secret to improving the body’s natural healing abilities and is one big step closer towards an innovative future of new medical treatments and regenerative therapies.
