UST VARSITARIAN: In the light of Catholicism and public

Varsitarian just made their way in the limelight, way out of the UST perimeters - sadly, it is on the negative note.

The official publication of the University of Sto. Tomas published a editorial write-up with an implied unified view on the ongoing and popular debate bill - the Reproductive Health Bill. However, on the sad note, the editorial doesn't justify anything. 




On my perspective, the editorial doesn't reflect the opinion of the UST community at all but only depicts the view of the unknown writer; proven by the angry and/or irritated feedback of the UST students, alumni, and other members of the Catholic University.

We always respect views of others as we have freedom to do so....but as the write-up said, it is not ABSOLUTE. UST have their own right to choose their stand over the hot topic -RH Bill. It is okay to clearly state the stand - if this is the unified perception of the university of the school and proclaim your high ground on being a "PONTIFICAL INSTITUTION" but wrongful to insult and not clearly state the facts among other Catholic schools - mostly for ADMU and DLSU. 

The Varsitarian Editorial just bragged about the university and trying to put it on top while doing damage to other two - that's all. A narcissist who just want to won the argument at the expense of other. The published opinion is nonetheless but a bias write-up which doesn't show the true light of the pros and cons of both the school and the bill - which by the way, a good journalist should do. CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY. From the word itself, UST, together with DLSU and ADMU are both a Catholic and an educational institution that adheres to educational excellence and enlightenment of its students, faculty, and other members with the light of Catholic teachings. With regards to Varsitarian opinion, you only favored Catholic teachings without regards to high education. If that is the case, then, you should not be an institution for knowledge but better be a center of Catholicism which shapes a person according to HIS teachings. Likewise, if the Catholic stand of both school should be reviewed, University of Sto. Tomas educational competence to mold its students intelligence without any hindrances and hone their given talents without any bias should be put in question.
