Mask Up BulSUans!

 By: Kristian Sandig GUINHAWA, MALOLOS — Face Masks are more important than ever during this flu season at Bulacan State University (BulSU) as the university continues to mandate everyone to wear face masks upon entering the campus in line with the increasing cases of flu-like symptoms and illnesses within and outside the university.

𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 : 𝐀 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐝𝐮𝐞 By: Khyrus Santos The focus is always on the action, but never behind the curtains As the Bulacan State University’s Intramurals 2023 draws to a close, we recall the energetic atmosphere and the enthusiastic contenders of the events, despite the weather.

In August 13, 2019, Gretchen Diez, a transgender woman, got arrested just for using a woman’s restroom in Cubao Mall, Quezon City.

(You still have your manhood. Remember that.) In addition, Diez was also dragged to the security room of the mall. She was cuffed, detained, and shamed. Diez was treated like a criminal for simply trying to relieve herself in the restroom. "Sa akin lang po, ‘yung para kang shoplifter na kinakaladkad sa loob ng mall, na nakatingin sa’yo ‘yung mga ta
