When 26-year-old John Michael Ausejo first entered college, he didn’t know that it would take him 10 years to finish his degree.
He was in for another, though more pleasant, surprise after he took the February 2021 Geologist Licensure Examination. Despite delays, Ausejo ranked fourth among 108 examinees with a score of 84.1%.
“I only applied for the exams on the day of the deadline because I faced several challenges beforehand. I also didn’t expect to be a topnotcher since I only prepared for two months. But maybe the victory was really meant for me,” Ausejo said.

Filipinos online revisited the lessons of the EDSA People Power Revolution as the whole nation commemorated its 35th anniversary on Thursday, February 25.
On February 25, 1986, millions of Filipinos from all walks of life marched as one to topple dictator Ferdinand Marcos, paving the way for the return of democracy in the country.
Six presidencies later, democracy in the Philippines has come under threat as human rights abuses, attacks on the media, and assault against academic freedom persist under the Duterte administration.
Commission on Elections (Comelec) spokesperson James Jimenez and other netizens said Filipinos can best commemorate the EDSA anniversary by registering to vote.

Journalists, educators urge student press to fight disinformation in campuses

Journalists, educators urge student press to fight disinformation in campuses

How important is the role of campus journalists in the fight against disinformation?
In an online national conference on democracy and disinformation hosted by the University of the Philippines (UP) Visayas on Monday, February 22, media practitioners and educators highlighted the significance of campus journalism in preserving democracy given the current online landscape.
At a time when red-tagging has been used to attack universities and campuses, UP Diliman journalism professor Ma Diosa Labiste said there was a need for "counterspeech."
“We have to create counterspeech or a speech that refutes hate speech, disinformation, fake news, or dangerous speech,” Labiste said.

Although Tropical Storm Auring (Dujuan) has yet to make landfall, parts of Surigao del Sur were already massively flooded on Sunday, February 21, due to the Philippines' first tropical cyclone for 2021.
Surigao del Sur's capital of Tandag City, especially, has been struggling with the heavy rain brought by Auring.
Some houses in Tandag City were submerged in floodwater on Sunday, prompting the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) to send response groups to help in evacuation and rescue operations in coordination with local government units (LGUs).
To help provide relief, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), through its field office in Caraga, has given initial assistance of P179,000 worth of food and non-food items to affected LGUs in the region as of Saturday, February 20.

Guno Kem Ye: A halfway maternity home for T'boli mothers

Guno Kem Ye: A halfway maternity home for T’boli mothers

In the town of Surallah, South Cotabato, members of the T’boli tribe continue to struggle with access to maternal health services.
Aside from living far from the town’s center and having few modes of transportation, T’boli mothers are averse to the idea of giving birth in hospitals. They prefer giving birth at home to practice their traditional rituals such as having a hilot (midwife) present during delivery and using
malong (Filipino wraparound skirt) so as not to expose their private parts.
