By D/C Emmanuel Jaboneta In commemoration of the National Women’s Month, the University of Cebu – Maritime Education and Training Center (UC-METC) has inaugurated a groundbreaking initiative by introducing the Maritime Women’s Empowerment Association (MWEA), a student organization dedicated to fostering empowerment among enrolled cadettes on campus. During the inaugural meeting, held on March 10, MWEA members deliberated on proposed activities and outlined the responsibilities of the newly elected officers. Deck Cadette Nicole Marie Cabije was elected as president, leading the discussion and setting the tone for the association's future endeavors. “As the new president of this organization, I am very much delighted in knowing that a women’s organization has finally been created here at UC-METC.

Kabataan Pa Ba ang Pag-asa ng Bayan?

EDITORIAL Cartoon by Garner Sereñina You’ve probably heard it before: “Iba na talaga ang kabataan ngayon.” It’s a familiar refrain from older generations, often accompanied by a tsk or a resigned sigh. But is this just another way of dismissing the new generation, or is there something more troubling beneath the surface? Recent events have brought this issue into sharp focus. During a recent Filipino reality show episode, a participant flubbed a basic fact about Dr. José Rizal, calling him “Joe Joe” and “J Rizz.” This blunder, while seemingly trivial, has sparked a torrent of online criticism and highlights a troubling trend about our education system.

 EDITORIAL Cartoon by Matthew Barcenas Like a flock of birds swooping toward a hill of grains, METC cadets crowd around the university’s main gate every morning—shoulder-to-shoulder, haircuts all over the place. It’s a sight that immediately raises a question: what happened to the days of adhering to proper grooming standards? Proper appearance and attire might not seem like a big deal, but in a university, especially a maritime school, it’s crucial. Uniforms, haircuts, and even rules against earrings or tattoos aren’t just about control—they’re about creating an environment that fosters discipline. When everyone follows the same rules, it stops the endless comparisons and allows students to focus on the stuff that actually matters—self-improvement, growth, and preparing for the real world (Ståhlberg, J., et al., 2019). At the University of Cebu-METC, cadets know the drill. The haircut rules aren’t suggestions—they’re requirements, with regular inspections to keep everyone in ...
