Following the “peeping” incident in the female dormitory yesterday, the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs and Services (OVPSAS) and the Security Office urged Viscans to directly report such incidents for them to conduct immediate actions.
Viscans jammed to a series of musical performances as the VSU Baybay University Student Supreme Council (USSC) proudly presented a post-Valentine’s concert aptly titled "FLAMES," instilling a spirit of celebration and inclusivity last February 16, at the VSU Gymnatorium.
Amid corruption rumors, former president Gardon reappears to grant an interview with Amaranth in an effort to clear out the issue. The USSC follows suit to clarify the matter.
Ever pondered the idea of Physical Education as an academic subject? You heard it right, Viscans! so get those muscles and ‘bagtak’ sessions seriously as we make ‘bawi’ for your grades. As they say this time, “Walang tapon sa PE subject.”
After acknowledging the lack of compensation for student assistants (SAs) at Visayas State University (VSU), the University Supreme Student Council Federation (USSCF) announced on their official Facebook page the increase of student assistant allowance from PHP25.00/hr rate to PHP60.00/hr after the Board of Regents (BOR) approved their proposal through BOR Resolution No. 92, s. 2023, last December 29, 2023.
Every March 5th, the United Nations (UN) launches a global effort to “maintain international peace and security” with the commemoration of the International Day for Disarmament and Non-proliferation Awareness Day. However, what good is a holiday intended for a cause, when bullets and bombs continue to shower the world in a blatant attempt to attain power and encourage an ideology of violence.
Layunin ng ‘Bagong Pilipinas’ na magkaroon ng maayos na pamamalakad sa gobyerno, pero sa anong katibayan at kasiguraduhan na ang pangakong ito ay hindi sa kanyang pansariling interest at para sa talaga sa benepisyo ng bawat Pilipino? Bilang isang anak ng bayan, mahirap itong asahan ano pa at ang kanyang pamumuno ay may bahid ng mapangahas na nakaraan at magulong kasalukuyan.
Visayas State University (VSU) is well known for its lush green scenery, offering shade and a calming atmosphere for the students and faculty. However, these past months, the university’s pride in lush greenery has slowly been cut down, in the most literal sense. Native trees ranging from the Eco Park up to the Department of Arts, Letters, and Languages (DALL), Department of Philosophy and Social Sciences (DPSS), and Department of Tourism and Hospitality Management (DTHM) have now been pruned, and Viscans are left questioning the rationale of this action.
We're truly fortunate to be experiencing this golden age of technology. Gone are the days when students slaved away over final term papers – now a swift ChatGPT session can save the day. But the magic doesn't stop at essays; they can now also make 'art'. But here's the thing: for as long as we remember, art has been a human-only activity. We learned to make art before we started writing. Our essence is woven into every piece of art we deem authentic. R.S. Mellette says: "Art is what makes us human." But if what makes us human is replicable by machines, where do humans come into this? As it stands now, humanity is slowly becoming obsolete, easily replicated by machine.
With all the intentional long-weekends and extended holiday seasons, it wouldn't hurt for the administration to at least recognize its existence and declare its withstanding pathos even if it was slated on a weekend. The point of this writing is neither to reflect upon the dubious decision of not getting another Friday for a regular rest day, but it is the fact that we as Filipinos cannot just have February 25 as a lazy Sunday.
Valentine’s Day is over! While we gear our eyes toward the romanticism that occurs on the 14th of every February (bouquets, chocolates, and plushies if you're lucky), we often disregard what happens after these declarations, pushing this into the farthest corner of the room. It is in our biological demands that we yearn for sex, yet its discussion still fails to hit the limelight.

ORMOC CITY, PHILIPPINES—Nine members of Amaranth, the official student media organization of Visayas State University (VSU), convened at ACLC College of Ormoc City on March 9 for a day dedicated to sharing their expertise with aspiring student journalists.
Visayas State University (VSU) started as a small agricultural school and then gradually developed as time went by. In its 100 years of service, it has produced notable individuals in the field of agriculture, just like these two #TatakViscan who were shaped to be a sower of change – an agriculturist who cultivates success.
The VSU Forestry team solidified the status of the University as one of the premier schools for Forestry in the country as representatives garnered multiple awards during the newly concluded National Forestry Olympiad at the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) from February 21 - March 1, 2024. Among the eight events that were competed by 22 schools, VSU brought two awards from the said sets of competitions; they claimed the 4th spot overall.
There's something so endearing about knowing that Amaranth is home to artistic talents that take a slice of pride in being a Viscan. These people that we work with, the Creatives and Design team, have poured enough soul and imagination to bringing life and color to the stories that Amaranth makes on a regular basis, and I believe they deserve to be recognized for such dedication.
For this National Arts Month, I wrote some notes as well as a few reflections for every member of our Creatives and Design Team. Just a little something to cap off February, and to show how much I admire their work for the publication thus far.
Did you check your calendar? Or were you one of the victims of writing “1 or 365” during the New Year? 2024 is a special year—a leap year! Yet, has it ever crossed your mind why we have an extra day? Why does February 29 exist? Fret no more— this is a sign for you to read this treat! You best be-leap this!
The current atmosphere of cancer detection technology requires multiple tests that are invasive, uncomfortable, complicated, and generally unaffordable to the general public. This is why there is a prominence of creating better strategies where some scientists resort to blood testing due to its appeal as being less-invasive and simple compared to tests such as Colonoscopy (for colon cancer detection), CT scans, or Pap Smear.

News burst out that a heavy solar superstorm is near and approaching, and will wipe out the internet without proper context.
The efforts to revive the Baybayin cement a stronger Filipino pride and self-identity that is presently formed and will be passed down to generations to come. The language, being the soul of one’s national identity, is essential as it is the epitome of culture and tradition. As the world inevitably changes, the Filipino progresses - living in the age of technology is not a nudge to overlook one’s identity but an art of preserving language and culture for generations to come.
