End of a legacy

Clark Edward Runes Uytico - @inquirerdotnet 07/28/2020

No one is too poor to give

12/01/2018

These other kids have money to spend to give big donations; these came from the excess of what they have. We gave from our own supply of rice, which is a big sacrifice for us. I’ll never…

Life is like coffee

RICKY GABUT 09/08/2018

Drinking coffee is more than just for the sake of enjoying a mix of sugar, coffee, water, or even some cream. Coffee keeps memories and experiences that will never be repeated again. Every time I drink coffee,…

The privilege of owning a book

ACE Z. ALBA 08/29/2018

I used to be eager when buying a book. They were adventures that broke the monotony of a lonely childhood, or snippets of wisdom that illuminated strange and foreign realities. These stocked shelves once filled me with…

Beneath these thick layers

MIGUEL CARLOS LAZARTE 08/25/2018

I was a “healthy” child. People always labeled me cute because I was literally a round child. I was edgeless, soft, chubby, and all the other euphemisms one heard for overweight kids. It was months after my…

Shouts on a Friday morning

Nikka G. Legaspi 08/16/2018

Friday. The day when we utter “Thank God it’s Friday.” The day we all love because Friday is synonymous with rest and sleep. The day when almost everybody heads to and roams around the malls. But to…

Truth, insult and letting go

07/28/2018

‘Bisaya,’ ‘probinsyana’

ALECXIS CARINGAL 07/05/2018

Hello, how are you?

Ma. Erika Oliveanne P. Castillejo 06/16/2018

Thank you, USC Accountancy

I’m part of the University of San Carlos (USC) Accountancy Batch of 2016. I’m one of only two students in my batch who took an additional subject, a minor in Economics. I was president of my batch,…

The road to freedom

09/01/2016

IT’S 5:30 a.m. and I’m in a rush to get ready for school. By 6 a.m. I’m making my brother gobble up his breakfast at the risk of choking so we can leave before traffic starts building…
