As the summer break comes to an end, the beginning of a new academic year awaits Mapúa's best and brightest. Newer students and freshmen alike, however, might be hesitant about the return of Mapúa’s standout feature: its Quarterm system.

Mapúa University School of Multimedia and Digital Arts (SoMDA) Dean David R. Corpuz is set to unveil his latest full-length feature, “Tayo Lang Ang Nakakaalam” (Only Known to Us), at the 22nd Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival.

Known for its excellence as the Philippines’ premier engineering and technological institution, Mapúa University (MU) has long been a breeding ground for technical innovators. Often associated with hard hats, drafting tables, and circuit boards, the Mapúan community has been consistently branching out into wider horizons, defined by camera lenses, storyboards, and festival spotlights.

The recently concluded Good Governance Conference 2026, held at the Quezon City Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions Center, has shifted the landscape of local public administration toward radical transparency and data-driven civic spaces. The summit gathered more than 300 student leaders, journalists, and civil society advocates under the theme “Tayo ang Gobyerno: Sama-samang Pagkilos ng Kabataan Para sa Mabuting Pamamahala.”

The Philippine film and video industry is often viewed through a lens of glamour, yet for aspiring creators, the path from the classroom to the studio can feel like a complex maze.

Years ago, local television screens frequently asked viewers how far PHP20 could go. Back then, it was a lighthearted inquiry about a sweet ice cream treat on a sweltering afternoon.

Nowadays, media consumption is embedded in our everyday lives. This manifests in the family noontime shows we watch during siesta, all the way to the newscasts we tune into in the evenings right before dinner. Various stories are embedded into these media, tying threads that connect us to one another in a true Filipino fashion. This connection has enabled us to build our distinct culture, share knowledge, and form a sense of community and nationality.

Coinciding with the height of the Philippines’ fire prevention month is also the start of the vacation season. Heading out the door means leaving it in a fragile state. Sometimes, fires are viewed as a distant “what if,” but the reality is that they are more likely to happen. Its aftermath leaves a devastating wind of what once was.
