Philippine Collegian
The Philippine Collegian, also known as Kulê (Tagalog: [kʊˈleʔ]), is an alternative news outlet and the official student publication of the University of the Philippines Diliman. Established in 1922, the Collegian is commonly associated with the national democratic movement, with many of the publication's staffers opposing martial law under Ferdinand Marcos.
The Collegian continues to publish views critical of the university administration and the Philippine government as a "mainstay of the Philippine democratic left."
The Collegian, first established in the University of the Philippines as the College Folio in 1910 and then Varsity News in 1917, was one of the first undergraduate journals in the Philippines. The Philippine Collegian was officially established in 1922.
In 1935, the Collegian published historian Teodoro Agoncillo's review of Ricardo Pascual's Dr. Jose Rizal: Beyond the Grave despite strong opposition from the Catholic Church. In 1951, editor-in-chief Elmer Ordoñez criticized the resignation of University of the Philippines President Bienvenido Gonzalez as an "ouster" due to political pressure under President Elpidio Quirino.
During the Japanese occupation of the Philippines, the Collegian was largely silent, since many of the university's units were shut down. It resumed publication in 1946.
Despite the Red Scare, the Collegian continued publishing articles tackling socialism and armed struggle under the Hukbong Mapagpalaya ng Bayan.
The 1950s brought to the fore issues of academic freedom in the university, heightening the clash of beliefs between the Collegian, the university administration, and the national government. Then-editor Homobono Adaza was expelled for an editorial criticizing the UP administration.
The Collegian at the turn of the 60s included such figures as revolutionary and Communist Party of the Philippines founder Jose Maria Sison, journalist and academic Luis Teodoro, and writer Petronilo Daroy. Sison had previously written a requiem published in the Collegian for assassinated Congolese Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba under a pseudonym, and together with the re-publication of Benedict Kerkvliet's Peasant War in the Philippines, led to a hearing by the House of Representatives' Committee on Anti-Filipino Activities protested by over 3,000 students and faculty.
