FACTS about SUBJECTIVITY

The similarities of the three student publications named ‘The Guidon’ of Ateneo, ‘Ang Pamantasan’ of PLM, and ‘The Varsitarian’ of UST is that everything written in the articles are totally SUBJECTIVE. Editors gave their opinions and point of view regarding the issues and topic they write. (e.g. Ampatuan Massacre, politics, and each university’s current controversies.) Perhaps it is really subjective but premise with objective. Everything written such as opinions and perspective of the editors are based on FACTS.

However, their difference is on its SUBJECTIVITY as well. It only differs in the DEPTH of its subjectivity. Some editors or writers of a particular student publication express their point of view with so much brutality. Consider that some oppose their university itself. Like the ‘The Varsitarian’ of UST. Editors describe their university as a religious but not moral. As well as the ‘The Guidon’ of Ateneo, attempts to write an article about ‘Pabaon’ that they call as a lie. On the other hand, the ‘Ang Pamantasan’ of PLM has so many articles complimenting the changes and improvement made by their former University President Adel Tamano. Editors look as if doing their tactics for the promotion of the candidacy for the upcoming 2010 election of the senatorial candidate.
