CJs deserve better!

Another quarter has already come to an end, students moving forward as they survived a month flooded with deadlines. Students celebrate their achievement, receiving praises from their teachers. But, the atmosphere seems different in the world of campus journalists. I should be proud to be a student journalist representing my school—General Santos City National Secondary School of Arts and Trades (GSCNSSAT), yet I feel very shameful to be one. I was confused and shocked, holding my report card struck with a straight line of seven. Do my rights to quality education still exist?
Protect Learners from earners!

Quality education is not a favor, it is a constitutional right and a global commitment under Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4). Yet is questionable, for millions of Filipino learners, this right exists only on paper. While the government promises free and accessible education, many still lack access to it. In a country overflowing with political speech and reports that billions of peso budgets are allocated with different priorities, where are the funds that were supposed to ensure every student can learn?

Law must Lead, not Linger!
DSPC Inquirer
In a society where rights are written yet rarely realized, the gap between law and implementation continues to widen. Justice was ignored when officials were at fault, education that was supposed to be the key for our better future wasn’t accessible by many. This issue was brought up during the school-based press conference at General Santos City National Secondary School of Arts and Trades (GSCNSSAT), where Lakas Bisig Publication adviser James B. Lomocho emphasized that we have rights protected by law.
