One of the rights at hand of the Filipinos is the freedom of expression. In such democratic country, you can freely express your whole self. It covers your ideas and points of view towards a certain topic. These are evident through the various newspapers nationwide. And school publications really proved this truth.
As I had read, the different publication of the universities of Ateneo de Manila (the Guidon), University of Sto. Tomas (The Varsitarian) and Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila( Ang Pamantasan), they all wanted to be heard using their articles. They all have the stand to the different issues /concerns in their respective school and to our country as well. These three presented both objectivity and subjectivity in their works. But the latter weighted more. They all presented facts and information but on the way they expressed their punto de vista, there are obvious differences. The writers from the different publications have their own unique style in writing. From The Varsitarian, we have Emil Carlo dela Cruz( Brother looking out for his brother), he presented equal sides of the story; the writer of Probing for the true disturbance from Ang Pamantasan is brave enough to express himself of who and what are the nuissace candidates and lastly in The Guidon , Ma. Anna Margarita Bueno (The stories worth living for), at first it seems personal but instead, it is for the concern of everyone in the end.
The writers are critical enough in expressing their views and insights on something. What matters most is the meaning they wanted to convey to the people. Writing is all about "Choice" and "Change".
