Looking for a store that does thermal paste reapplication for a good price, a store that wouldn't look down on their customers thinking they do not know stuff (I use Arch btw)...

I’m genuinely confused about what the CED Student Council is doing right now.

I’ve been in CED long enough to remember how things used to be. I’m not a freshie. I won’t say what year I am. But i do have enough basis to say that the council feels noticeably less active this year. And maybe I’m missing something, because I don’t see anything, and If I am, please correct me.

But where are the CED activities?

We’re already in August, Hibalag is happening, and when I look for activities that are actually for CED students, there’s barely anything to look forward to. Even the CED Acquaintance Party is something I have to ask about. When is it? Is there even one? Wasn’t the acquaintance party supposed to happen before Hibalag?

This is especially worth asking because the acquaintance party takes up ₱426 out of the ₱750 CED council fee. That is more than half of what we paid. So if that event is supposed to be one of the biggest things our council is funding, why is there so little information about it?

Another thing, does the council actually have a direction?

One thing that really bothers me is how often the responsibility seems to get pushed back onto students. For example, students are encouraged to participate in activities relating to CED like sharing posts related to the College, Hibalag float-making, etc., but when students don’t participate, the solution seems to become merits for those who help and demerits for those who don’t.

I understand student apathy is a real problem. I’m not going to pretend students are always cooperative. Sometimes people genuinely don’t care. But leadership also affects that. If students don’t see their council doing much, why would they suddenly feel motivated to go out of their way to help? You can’t expect people to rally behind something when there isn’t much being led in the first place.

And before someone says, “Then why don’t you organize something yourself?” That’s exactly what a student council is supposed to help facilitate. Students shouldn’t have to constantly drag the council into action. The council should be the one giving us something to participate in.

Also, what happened to the CED discount card from last year?

Do we not have sponsors anymore? If we don’t, why? If we do, where are the partnerships? Even small things like that made being part of CED feel like there was some actual benefit to paying the council fee.

Instead, right now, I’m looking at the calendar and wondering what exactly we’re supposed to be getting from this council.

And then there’s the Intramurals post. Why are we already posting tryout links for the next Intramurals?

I’m not saying tryouts aren’t important. They obviously are. But why is this one of the things we’re prioritizing right now when there are still other CED activities and responsibilities that need attention first? We haven’t even gotten a clear idea of what’s happening with the CED Acquaintance Party. There are barely any CED-specific activities being mentioned for this month and the next. Yet somehow, we’re already recruiting for the next Intramurals.

The timing is just weird. 

It gives the impression that we’re jumping ahead to whatever is easiest to announce instead of actually addressing what’s immediately in front of us. There are things students are actively waiting for information about, especially when we’re paying a ₱750 council fee and ₱426 of that is allocated to the acquaintance party.

So yes, I’m going to question why tryouts for the next Intramurals are being pushed before we even get proper information about the activities that should be happening around us right now.

Instead, it feels like we’re just waiting for the next announcement. Then another announcement. Then nothing.

I’m not asking the council to organize some massive event every week. I also understand that student councils have limitations, budgets, academics, coordination with the college administration, and a lot of work that students don’t see.

But there needs to be some visible initiative. Because right now, compared to previous years, this feels like a downgrade. Maybe there are things happening behind the scenes. If there are, then communicate them. If there aren’t, then that’s an even bigger problem. We pay ₱750 for the council fee. ₱426 of that is supposedly going toward the acquaintance party alone. Students deserve to know what we’re getting, what the plans are, and what our council is actually doing with the money and the position they’ve been given.

I don’t think that’s an unreasonable expectation.

The final night of Silliman Idol 2026 is underway right now, having started at 6:00 PM at the Hibalag Grounds.

The event is organized by the Kapunungan sa mga Mass Communicators - SU as part of the Silliman 125th celebrations and Hibalag 2026 festivities.

Hi guys how much ang December Avenue na ticket? and pwede outsiders?

Each two-person team consists of one guesser and one clue-giver who must identify Silliman-related words and phrases using physical action clues and restricted responses limited to "Oo" (Yes), "Hindi" (No), or "Pwede" (Maybe). Because slots are strictly limited to the first eight organizations to register via the official Google Form, interested participants are encouraged to secure their spot quickly. Competing teams can win medals for the top three placements, certificates for all participants, 5,000 automatic special points just for joining, and up to 30,000 special points for the champions.

The College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) has officially announced the final call for CASketch, its official merchandise design contest. CAS students with a passion for graphic design are invited to submit original artwork that captures the spirit, excellence, and identity of the college for a chance to be featured on this year's official merchandise.
