The Guidon
The Guidon (stylized as The GUIDON) is the official student newspaper of Ateneo de Manila University. Published monthly between August and March, The GUIDON is a member of the Ateneo's Confederation of Publications and is one of the founding members of the College Editors Guild of the Philippines, along with The Varsitarian of the University of Santo Tomas, The Philippine Collegian of the University of the Philippines Diliman, and The National of National University (Philippines). As of 2025[update], The GUIDON is in its 96th year, with its editor-in-chief being Azra Samanta R. Cagsawa, its associate editor being Nicole Anne Kelsy L. Sy, its managing editor being Qichsia Brea Paladin, and its design executive editor being Anthea Maria B. Rey.
After several years of Ateneo de Manila students asking for a school newspaper,[citation needed] The Guidon was founded on June 22 by 1929 by Rev. Frank O'Hara, SJ, with Manuel C. Colayco as its first editor-in-chief. During the 1930s, the paper immersed itself in national issues with a Catholic slant, which included its protestation at the time of a proposed divorce bill. It ceased publication at the onset of World War II, eventually resuming operations in 1946 under the editorship of Maximo Soliven.
In the 1950s the paper began international distribution and expanded its focus to include major global issues and more social issues. During this time it received numerous awards, with the Columbia Scholastic Press Association and the Associated Collegiate Press consistently recognized its excellence.[citation needed]
In the 1960s, The Guidon began discussing the possibility of co-education at the university and sought to lessen its domination by elite Filipinos.[citation needed]
In the 1970s, the paper involved itself in national issues, with issues 38 and 39 being published as Ang Pandayan (English: The Foundry). During this time, the paper's Editorial Board became increasing politically divided, leading to the publication of two versions of The Guidon.[citation needed] Both versions of the paper were temporarily shut down by the martial law declaration of Ferdinand Marcos, eventually resuming publication as a single newspaper in 1973.[citation needed] The same year women were admitted to the University for the first time, with Chao Chuatico becoming the paper's first female editor-in-chief.[citation needed] After the assassination of Benigno Aquino Jr. in 1983, the paper increased its coverage of national issues.[citation needed]
In the 1990s The Guidon editorial team began using modern computer technology to create its newspapers and began splitting them into two sections.[citation needed] During this time the paper renamed its Research Department to the "Inquiry Team" and created an outreach program called Pamaskong Handog. The newspaper also expanded to include the Operations, Human Resources, and Marketing positions and increased its involvement in University legislation, proposing amendments to the Campus Journalism Act of 1991.[citation needed]
In 2003 the newspaper renamed its Operations position to Externals and created the Human Resources Training and Development Team.[citation needed] In 2007, The Guidon launched Beyond Loyola, a new section of the newspaper that would discuss Filipino social, political, and economic issues.[citation needed] In 2008 the newspaper launched an online lifestyle magazine called g,[citation needed] relaunching it as Katipunan Magazine in 2012,[citation needed] and as Vantage Magazine in 2014. In 2017, The Guidon launched its Broadcast News staff and recreated its Research position to help research topics that include quantitative analysis. In 2023, the Research staff officially rebranded into Research and Development, signaling its deeper involvement in assessing internal operations.
The Guidon's 31-member editorial board team is divided into three departments: the Writing Cluster (abbreviated as W8), the Design Cluster (abbreviated as D4), and the Organizational Cluster (abbreviated as O4).
