HALFWAY through the season, UST is clinging on a two-point lead over De La Salle University for the UAAP general championship.

UST has a total of 155 points in large part because of championships men’s taekwondo, women’s judo and poomsae.

But UST sports officials are not celebrating early, knowing a lot can still happen in the second semester.

UST took home silver medals in men’s basketball, men’s judo, men’s table tennis, men’s beach volleyball and women’s taekwondo, and grabbed bronze in women’s table tennis.

The Tiger Jins and the Female Judokas muscled their way into two consecutive championships while the UST poomsae squad redeemed themselves from last year’s third-place finishing on top podium this season.

WITH THE fast-paced tide of information flowing from different media platforms, quality in journalism should not be overlooked.

This was the central theme of the 17th Inkblots held last Dec. 1 to 3, highlighting a series of lectures from the country’s top journalists.

Award-winning broadcast journalist and ABS-CBN news anchor, Karen Davila described journalism as a “calling,” which should be practiced with responsibly reporting stories to the public.

“In the past, you only get information unilaterally, through only one direct source, but social media has changed that; it is a portal of limitless information,” Davila said in her keynote address, speaking before the 263 campus journalists gathered at the Thomas Aquinas Research Center auditorium.

YOU CAN probably associate the word “paskuhan” only with one university—UST.

But UST’s Paskuhan, highlighted by a beautifully lit Christmas tree, captivating lights and enchanting music, does not only symbolize the Thomasians’ way of celebrating Christmas.

The colorful Paskuhan also mirror parts of history of the University and how Thomasians value charity, solidarity and spirituality.

Ever since it was organized, Paskuhan is not only a year-ender event for the Thomasians but also as a showcase of empathy during tragedy, celebrations, or simply as a countdown for a highly anticipated event for the following year.
