There is always a winner in every battle, in every game, in every sport.
Tested by time, one of the most known rivalry in the face of Philippine sports, and not just in basketball alone, are donned in the colors of blue and green, of arrows and claws, between the Green Archers of De La Salle University (DLSU) and the Blue Eagles of Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU).
But first, let me first tell you how the legendary rivalry between the Archers and the Eagles began and continued for generations now.
Isa sa mga 18 Lumad tribes na matatagpuan sa Mindanao ang mga B'laan, na kabilang sa mga indigenous people’s group na bumiyahe mula sa Mindanao para makiisa sa Lakbayan 2016.
Ayon kay Dolphing Cugan, isa sa mga pinuno ng mga Blaan, ang kanilang tribo ay nagsimula bago pa ang panahon ng mga Espanyol. Noong panahon ng Sinaunang Pamayanan kung saan ang kalakalan ay masagana bago dumating ang mga Espanyol, mayroong dalawang magkapatid na pinuno, sina Flasap at Pley Fubli. Nag-asawa si Pley Fubli ng isang mangangalakal mula sa gitnang silangan habang si Flasap naman ay hindi. Ang mga anak ni Flasap ang kasalukuyan ngayong ninuno ng mga 18 grupong Lumad habang ang mga anak naman ni Pley Fubli ay ang mga ninuno ng 13 grupong Moro ngayon.
Communication was the first and foremost thing that is needed in building a civilization. It is the awareness in the environment and discovery of the unknown that would let the people continuously build their societies. Journalism, on the other hand, shapes our thinking and way of life as we rely and we believe on the news it brings.
Having knowledge on the information around us lets us govern ourselves independently.
Before everything else, there are principles in journalism that must be practiced to obtain the information that would let the people be liberated from ignorance and be able to have complete control over their destinies.
