The impact of inflation towards the budget meals in Bulacan State University

 By: Emman Cruz Jr. 


Is it acceptable to say something is a “budget meal” if it is not affordable? With the continued increase of prices in basic goods due to inflation, the prices inside the Bulacan State University also feel the same effects, specifically the budget meals. Many students are relying on the budget friendly meal especially if the students budgeted their money. 

According to Myla Garados, a 5-year seller of budget meals in BulSU, that their hotdog with rice which included in the budget meal they offered was affected by the price increase, the 45 pesos budget meal is now 50 pesos. She also expected that the price will continue to increase in the next couple of years. 

Another of these vendors is Aisa, a recent seller of budget meals on campus, stated that all of their meals are budget friendly, hence it is always sold out by students. She added that they added a little increase to the price of their meals due to the inflation. Despite the price increase it's still affordable for the students. 

In conclusion, inflation has impacted the prices of the basic goods in the country and with that it affects the budget meals inside the Bulacan State University. But regardless of the price the students will always find the budget meals that are truly essential and everyday needs of individuals.

 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. In light of the increasing instances of COVID-19 and infectious illnesses across the country, Bulacan State University's Office of Student Affairs issued a memorandum on November 27, mandating the use of face masks within the university premises.

But it is not only the contenders who were there, nor the cheering audience: there are also the student coaches who guided these athletes, who are never in the limelight. Dan Francis Madrazo was the student coach of the CAL Green Raven Taekwondo Team. Despite having an interest in this martial art, he initially had no interest in coaching the team. “It’s more of a request from a friend as there is no one interested or capable enough to coach taekwondo players. But overall, I am honored to coach the CAL Taekwondo Team,” Dan Madrazo states. James Daniel Danio coached the CAL Green Ravens Women’s Basketball Team. A passionate fan of the sport, he was

The Urgent Need for Gender-Neutral Restrooms and Inclusivity in Society

 By: James Rusia How would you feel if you were a straight man, using a public restroom, and then suddenly a man wearing makeup, a long hair wig, and women’s clothing entered? Or vice versa if you’re a woman? Would you feel comfortable? What about that man wearing make-up, is he or she comfortable? In August 13, 2019, Gretchen Diez, a transgender woman, got arrested just for using a woman’s restroom in Cubao Mall, Quezon City. According to Diez, she was prevented by a janitress from using the female's restroom because the janitress insisted that Diez is still a man. "May utin ka pa rin. Tandaan mo yan." the janitress said. (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
