In an era troubled by disinformation, historical distortion, and mounting threats to press freedom, the campus press bears the responsibility of serving as a vital vehicle for grassroots struggles and social memory.

Championing advocacy journalism, Gawad Kulê Para sa Natatanging Ulat sa Karapatang Pantao is an awarding competition that recognizes journalistic outputs created using a human rights framework.

Beyond conventional news reporting, in-depth campus journalism operates as an essential form of literary and cultural work, rooting itself in the rich traditions of alternative media reportage, which includes social realism, committed literature, and creative non-fiction. These traditions approach investigative writing, documentary storytelling, and visual narrative not only as information dissemination, but as literary craft and cultural resistance.

Submissions are open for the following:
Best In-Depth Report (News/Feature)
Best Literary Piece
Best Video Output
Best Photo Essay

The competition is open to all tertiary or college publications in the Philippines. Entries must be published within the time frame of Oct. 1, 2025 to Dec. 1, 2026.

Submissions are open until Dec. 1, 2026 via https://tinyurl.com/GawadKuleSubmission.

For inquiries, send an email to gawadkule@gmail.com.

NARITO NA ANG BAGONG ISYU NG KULÊ!

Woven together by the struggles for land, life, and liberation, the sixth issue of the Collegian examines the crises confronting communities and sectors in the Philippines and beyond.

The issue examines police entry into union offices in UP Manila and the Commission on Human Rights’s slow handling of cases, raising questions about the protection of rights within and beyond the university. It also scrutinizes the UP System’s failure to establish a unified welfare policy, leaving campus animals vulnerable to neglect.

Outside the university, the Collegian investigates the recurring floods in Dinalupihan, Bataan and the conditions faced by BPO workers on graveyard shifts. The issue also looks into pop psychology and how it shapes the way people make sense of their struggles.

At the issue’s heart is the Ayta community of Sitio Kalangitan, Tarlac, whose ancestral land is threatened by the Pax Silica initiative. Their struggle lays bare the violence of so-called developmental projects and underscores the continuing fight against displacement and environmental destruction. Alongside this is the publication’s editorial on Palestine, which calls for solidarity with the Palestinian people in their fight for freedom, return, and self-determination.

NARITO NA ANG BAGONG ISYU NG KULÊ!

Sa nagpapatuloy na kultura ng dahas at pananakot, ang pulis pa mismo ang nasa harapan ng hanay na ito. Binigyang-pansin ng editoryal sa ika-apat hanggang limang isyu ng Kulê itong pagsasawalang-bahala ng kapulisan sa karapatang magprotesta, isang taon makalipas ang pag-aresto sa Mendiola 216.

Sa kabila ng pagpupuntirya sa piling taong binansagan ng awtoridad na suwail tulad ng Defend the Hood, isang alyansa ng mga crew ng street artist, binabawai pa rin nila ang mga espasyong ipinagkakait ng estado, maging sa graffiti sa pader o sa pakikibaka sa lansangan.

Napupunta pa rin sa kapahamakan ang buhay ng mga lumalaban para sa kanilang karapatan dahil sa ganitong mekanismo ng kapulisan—kita sa pag-aresto sa LEC 5 sa Bonifacio Global City at sa paghuli sa mga lider at organisador ng kaniya-kaniyang sektor.

Sa kabila ng deka-dekadang panggigipit, tinatalakay din ng isyung ito ang kauna-unahang parliamentary election ng Bangsomoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindnao, bunga ng pakikibaka ng mga mamamayan nito para sa sariling pagpapasya. Ang naturang eleksyon ay isa sa mga hakbang na patuloy na ipaglalaban ng mga Moro para sa inklusibong kaunlaran at pagkakakilanlan ng rehiyon.

Sabi ng mga Ayta, pinangangalanan daw ang kanilang lugar batay sa kung ano ang naglalarawan dito—ngunit kabaligtaran ito para sa realidad ng Sityo Kalangitan.

Sa kabila ng payak na pamumuhay ng mga Ayta sa Sityo Kalangitan, Capas, Tarlac, patuloy silang pinagkakaitan ng batayang pangangailangan at inaalipusta ng mapanupil na pamahalaan. Mula nang pumutok ang Bulkang Pinatubo, pinalipat-lipat sila ng tirahan at tinratong parang basura.

Mismong komisyong dapat na nangangalaga sa kanila ang nambastos sa mga Ayta. Sinira na nga ng Hann Reserve at Kalangitan Sanitary Landfill ang kalikasang nakapaligid sa kanila, ngayon, nanganganib pa silang mawalan ng lupa dahil sa Pax Silica.

Kung magpapatuloy ang ganitong pagtrato sa ating mga katutubo, may kinabukasan pa kaya silang aasahan sa kamay ng mga namumuno?

From the cats and dogs in Vinzons Hall wearing ID collars to sheep grazing around the College of Science, every corner of UP Diliman’s vast 493-hectare campus offers a glimpse of the animals that have made the campus their home.

Whether through emotional support animals or campus strays, these critters have shared spaces with students, faculty, and other members of the UP community. Disputes over their treatment and protection have exposed the need for a comprehensive animal welfare policy, one the university has tried to tackle over the years.

Despite UP touting its line of progressive animal welfare policies since 2015, animal mistreatment cases persist across campus. From November 2019 to September 2026, the Collegian identified at least 23 incidents involving abandonment, neglect, confinement, injury, and death on university premises, conduct prohibited under the Animal Welfare Act.

UP’s efforts towards recognizing animals as part of the community also requires the university to determine how abandonment is addressed, how impoundments are reviewed, and how community members and animal welfare groups are included in decisions affecting the lives of animals in the campus.

Fresh off his historic goal for the country, UP Men's Football Team defender Joshua Meriño reflects on scoring the opener in the Fighting Maroons' title defense in the #UAAPSeason 89 Men's Football Tournament.

Meriño recently etched his name in Philippine football history after scoring the country’s first Asian Games goal in 52 years, carrying his international experience back to the Diliman as State U seeks to defend its crown.

The defending champions now shift their focus to the Battle of Katipunan against Ateneo de Manila University on Oct. 11, Thursday as the Fighting Maroons look to sustain their winning momentum and continue their march toward another UAAP Football trophy.

Anim na taon na ang nakalilipas nang pumanaw si River Nasino, isang tatlong buwang gulang na sanggol na inihiwalay sa kaniyang nabilanggong inang si Reina Mae Nasino—isang manggagawa sa karapatang pantao at aktibistang inaresto sa paratang na ilegal na pagmamay-ari ng mga baril at eksplosibo. Isang buwan pa lamang si River nang sapilitan siyang ilayo sa ina, ayon sa utos ng korte, dahil walang angkop na pasilidad para sa pangangalaga ng bata sa loob ng Manila City Jail.

Sa araw ng pagpanaw ng sanggol, anim na oras lamang ang ipinagkaloob kay Reina para makita ang anak, habang binabantayan siya ng 43 tauhan, nakaposas, at nakasuot ng kompletong PPE, na ikinagalit ng publiko. Ngunit hindi ito nag-iisang pagkakataon: noong 2014, inaresto sa bisa ng maling paratang si Miradel Torres, isang bilanggong politikal na nagkaroon ng komplikasyon sa pagbubuntis habang nakakulong. Gayundin ang sinapit ng anak ni Nona Espinosa, si Carlen Espinosa, na pumanaw ilang buwan matapos si River.

“Kataka-taka ang tila katahimikang namamayani sa likod ng isa na namang kaso ng pagkamatay ng isang bata, na para bang nakasanayan na natin ang ganitong uri ng balita. Ngunit kahingian sa ating umalpas sa kampanya ng gobyernong gawing normal ang karahasang katulad nito,” isinulat ng lupon ng Patnugutan noong Marso 1, 2021.

Sa patuloy na pagtaas ng presyo ng petrolyo, pahirapan ang pag-usad ng parehong ordinaryong tsuper at komyuter sa kani-kanilang mga kabuhayan. Samantala, patuloy naman ang lubusang kakulangan sa pagtugon ng gobyerno sa kalbaryong ito buhat ng kanilang mga pribilehiyo, na banaag sa pagpapanatili ng Oil Deregulation Law, pangongolekta ng tax sa mga produktong langis, at pamimigay ng ayudang di-sapat.

Sa pagod at stress ngayong midterms season, hindi nalalayo sa posibilidad na makabuo ng bagong mga kaibigang sasamahan ka sa hirap... na una mo sigurong makakausap sa lilim ng kapunuan habang pinagluluksaan ang mga iskor sa exam!

Sundan si Karl, isang iskolar ng bayan na kasalukuyang tinatawid ang parehong acads at paghahanap ng roommate sa dorm, at ang kakaibang kaibigan niyang si Kap, isang kapreng sinusubukang makipagsabayan sa bagong henerasyon ng mga estudyanteng nasusubaybayan niya mula sa kanyang tahanan.
