You and Filipinos Since 1892
It was how a millennial met her Prince Charming in year 1892 that glittered our history as their fairytale began. I Love You Since 1892, a famous book written by Binibining Mia or well known as UndeniablyGorgeous as her pen name conveyed a great kaleidoscope of unforgettable plot, crafted from twisted reality and numerous memories. It conveyed all the fading features from the past that nowadays people cannot be seen anymore. It dwelt into the abyss of history where treasures of our wonderful country used to lay. It tackled every inch of the addictive view of past's picturesque as if it was a time machine that could bring as back to a year we were not born.

Death of Truth
In our country doomed by the seemingly never-ending greed, the ambitious cravings of the self-centered public officials had our journalists bearing the cross of suffering, pressure, and torment upon their shoulders, walking through the path of uncertainties; barefooted on the ruthless road of intimidation.
