ON THE SUPPRESSION OF CAMPUS JOURNALISM

HIMATI EDITOR-IN-CHIEF TIARA ANGELA MEJOS ASSURES EVERYONE TO EXPOSE ANY ACTION OF RIVERO TO SUPPRESS CAMPUS JOURNALISM


. . . last wednesday GCR asked for a meeting with the staff of himati in answer to a letter we sent to her office asking for a copy of the budget proposal of the investiture (no liquidation papers yet). this happened after she approved our request (for the release of our funds).

what GCR asked to read was the draft copy of the investiture article, to which i replied that i will have to consult the editorial board first. the editorial board has decided not to comply with GCR's request.

on a personal note, yes, i am a bit wary of the new requirement. i've been with himati for 2 years and this is the first time that we were made to ask for the release of our funds from the OC. i am of the knowledge that this could open the publication to admin repression, as she can choose to sign, delay, or ignore the request.


but if the Office of the Chancellor (OC) or anybody else for that matter, will try to repress Himati’s freedom to write and publish, we will immediately notify not only this blog but all the pertinent offices, the media, and the students.

yours truly,
tiara angela mejos
eic, HIMATI

Tama, dapat lang jud na maging vigilant ang Himati sa pagbantay sa mga pag-abuso ni Mommy Gilda!

The Himati needs to be vigilant about issues raised against Mommy Gilda.

We the Himati readers deserve to know them considering that we pay our fees for the student paper!

Kaya, dear editor, grabedad jud ang inyong responsibility to counter the oppressive style ni Rivero by exposing them.
