As the old adage goes, “The truth shall set you free.” But for Jun Palafox, Jr.,
the whistleblower of the tree-cutting scheme in Subic, the truth he has told just
gained him legal and death threats from the powerful elite. After all, a multi-
million resort isn’t always a good reason to cut down trees. Ever wondered how
environment and corruption came together? (Recommended for students taking
up Sci 10 – Science and Society)
A strong hold of the nation’s hope belongs to today’s youth. Mr. Harvey Keh,
one of the most accomplished youth leaders has proven that young people should
realize their important role in the society by spurring change. To further highlight
this, he will convince you that responding to realities like poverty and corruption
needs more than immediate action and political reform. He believes there is
nothing that the youth and every Filipino cannot do because he knows that Kaya
Natin.

Corazon Lalu-Santos of the Filipino Department in raising and answering the
question: Nasaan na nga ba ang protesta? – nasa panitikan at literatura!

experiences in Reg2Vote and Bantay Bilang, let Karl Satinitigan guide you in
your discernment on whether or not your vote is worth your while.
Amidst all the slogans, the photographs, and the endless promises, a government
official’s duties and responsibilities are to the public. How do they let the people
know what they have done during their term? How do they keep in touch with the
masses that have put them in their position in the first place? If you have these
questions in mind, find out with Mr. Jason Cabanes of the Communication
Department about the intriguing union of politics and communication.
