Young Filipino scribes push back against campus repression, disinformation

AT 22, Troy Ortega almost had it all when it comes to facing hardship as a Filipino student journalist. “It was never easy,” said Ortega, shortly after An Lantawan, the official campus publication of Leyte Normal University in Tacloban City, bagged the “Campus Press of the Year” for main campuses of state universities and colleges in Eastern Visayas and the “Ben Domingo Jr. Award of Campus Press Freedom” on Sunday, April 7, 2024. Ortega recalled that prior to his appointment as publication editor-in-chief, An Lantawan faced attacks against press freedom through the filing of a cyberlibel case by a university student leader against their former editor-in-chief Gio Costuna on July 17, 2023. The publication also faced shutdown allegedly due to non-accreditation in October 2023. An Lantawan has been serving an estimated 7,000 students at the university, which was established in 1921. “We struggled hard but it was all worth it… However, winning these awards is not only for An La

Filipino cop proves you can be both tough and godly

DENVER Jay Busa reminisces about his childhood, which was spent surrounded by books, flowers, and female friends. “I grew up with a great love for flowers, especially during Flores de Mayo, because I love to decorate our church with lots of flowers to make it look more beautiful,” says the 27-year-old police corporal from Maydolong town in Eastern Samar province. His affection for beautiful flowers stemmed from the lessons he received from his catechist teachers at St. Roch the Healer Chapel, in their small village of Maybocog in Maydolong. Maydolong is a quaint, fourth-class town in Eastern Samar, with over 15,000 people. “My religion teachers reminded me that when you offer a flower during Flores de Mayo, you offer it to Mama Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ. From this, I realized that we should do our best and give everything to the Lord all the time,” he says. At the age of nine, Busa already started working in the church, assisting the priest during mass and
