My vision for the publication is to continue making a difference beyond words by producing quality articles and executing events/projects that benefits everyone. I hope that our works will reach out to people and hindi lamang limited to students in UST JHS. Other than that, I hope that I will be enjoying being in The Aquinian despite the expected heavy workload. I envision each one of us to grow, learn, and see our expectations for the publication and for ourselves to come to life.

Joining Aqui was really a big decision for me to make because I was having doubts if I can manage to balance my acads and responsibilities as a student journalist. But, now that I am here, I am truly enjoying what I applied for. As the publication year approaches, I  look forward to grow myself better as a person. I hope to have fun during my stay here and widen my creativity more through photography  to produce remarkable coverages for the student body. With all projects and events aqui will spearhead this year, I really wish for it to be a success and allow everyone to appreciate the hard work they put in it... I hope to get to know more about everyone and work comfortably! Goodluck this yearr aquiii ! <3

I envision our Editorial Board to be powerfully forged in the journalistic arts, proving to be steadfast keepers of the truth and prolific writers of tomorrow. I believe that this publication year will be filled with colorful views, eventful activities, and numerous written pieces not only for the knowledge of the student body but also for the recognition of the school and most especially the publication.

Throughout the year, I hope to establish deeper friendships and connections with the Editorial Board members whilst sharpening the weapons in my literary arsenal. As time flies, making the most of each opportunity, event, collaboration, and task shall be my primary goal, to be both a better student journalist and an even greater friend.

Best of luck to all of us, this P.Y.!!

My vision for the publication this academic year is to make and share great works for the student body to continue appreciating. It may not be easy being the official student publication of UST JHS however I believe that we can all make it through this year and grow better not only as student journalists but also as individuals.

For my last year in JHS, I want to use my time for greater things this academic year compared to my previous years. I hope to spend my last year wisely and to enjoy every moment. Moreover, I wish to improve my skills academic wise yet also balance my time with the people and things I appreciate the most.

<3 aqui!!

Sa Aqui, wag kayo mahihiya guys!! Mukha lang kami nangangagat, pero mababait kami ^^ We are one family and together we can overcome kahit yung nakakaiyak na broadsheet <3<3

Kapag marami kayong major revs/comments sa broadsheet, ito lang tandaan niyo:

"We are not criticizing you, we are criticizing your work," Ate Andre Felice Regis, EIC of P.Y. 2022-2023
(Original ata by Sir Corcuera AHAHAHAH di ko na matandaan)

I know that all of us are students and there would be a long road ahead of us to adapt and cope with the struggles of the club. Nevertheless, I know that we can do it. This event proved that nothing can be done without teamwork. It was really fun getting to know all of you and I hope we can continue and even more strengthen our bond.

To my fellow photogs, sobrang nakakapagod kahapon pero I'm proud of all of us! It wasn't easy but we somehow made it yesterday! I just wish that we were more organized like may time durations para hindi lahat ng cams malolowbatt or mawawalan ng space sa sd cards all at the same time. But other than that, we did our best to make it work and I'm so happy with the results. <33

Tbh, i don't have a lot of expectations from aqui for this year. Not bc i don't think na di natin kaya na maging successful and stuff, but bc i want our to cherish each step we take as the publication year progresses. Ik nmn na ever since you joined aqui, all of you have this pressure surrounding you to do well and be the best out of everybody. And i want to change that nang slight. Let's make this year memorable because of the people we spend it with and not because of the amount of accomplishments we achieved individually or as a group.

If anything, i want our juniors to not be afraid of their seniors, batchmates, and advisors kasi that will really limit your potential and skills, and ofc we don't want that. My overall vision for the publication year is that masaya tayo lahat na nagdadala ng balita sa masa. Hindi napipilitan, hindi labag sa loob. Masaya kasi nakakatuwa kasama ang mga miyembro ng pahayagaan at talagang nagtutulungan para sa ikabubuti ng lahat.

I admit na nakakatakot me magcomment pero that's far from who i am as your friend, your classmate, and ofc, as your ate. I appreciate all of our aqui members s. Ever since our first meeting, i wanted to make sure na comfortable kayo around one another so chinichika ko kayo nang sobra HAHAHAHHAHA. Regardless, I'm happy to be part of this batch of The Aquinian and i hope you all are too.

Labyu guys (real)

Love,
Your AEIC, clar <33

The vision I have for the publication and its succeeding years is to be able to produce quality articles and work for the student body. Aquinian, being the official student publication of JHS, it is the beacon of light for students to be guided and updated with daily news.

As for my goals for myself, I hope that being in the Aquinian will help my improve my writing skills and as well as how active I become with the news.

To the executive board, I would like to express my gratitude to you all for being so active in to making the Aquinian a great publication and as well as a club. You hard work, blood, sweat and tears will never go unnoticed !!

Lastly, for The Aquinian, I hope that we are able to get along with each other. Beyond the ink and pen, at the end of the day we are all students and we have our personal lives. I look forward to getting along with everyone in the editorial board. :)

Seeing the efforts of our EIC and AEIC (shoutout po @Antonia and @Clarisse), with the bond formed in this event, I truly expect Aqui to be a lot more active and overall better as a publication. I saw that the editorial board is, at some point, comfortable with each other and that would surely help in coverages, events, advocacies, and broadsheets. There might be a ton of difficulties and challenges, but I see that we will get through it together, as one team. We are all a work in progress, so I also expect everyone, including myself, to have Aqui as one of their environment to grow and be better individuals, students, and journalists. :))

LOVE YOU ALL MWA

My vision for the publication this school year is for us, as the official publication of our university department which students rely on for information and even memories that are captured through cameras, to be able to be the light towards the truth, especially in the society we are living in now.

But aside from that, as we plant new relationships and friendships, we are able to bring out the best in each other academically, as journalists, and of course as a person. And definitely for us to find comfort in one another as we embark on new opportunities. And lastly, for us to survive the hectic coverages, competitions, and even hurdles we might encounter as we work together through it. - Zea :)

I want my fellow students to appreciate journalism -- campus journalism in particular. I envision that the Aquinian and I, as a part of it, will bring positive change to the Thomasian community in every piece we will write and photograph we will capture.

I was really intimidated by Aqui at first, I was also scared that I will not reach the standard. It took me a lot of courage to try and start conversations with you guys T - T but with this event, Emblaze, communicating with you became easier. Di na ako nahihiya, especially during the cheer making.

I love how everybody is humble and is open to comments, constructive critism, etc. That's one of the main things we need for a publication. My main goal is to improve my writing skills so that we can deliver information to the student body with a high quality.

I hope we have more COMDEV activities this year and mabalik yung mga f2f events like Project RISE. My main goal is to grow and have better writing skills, make new friends and learn more ^^

Let's go, Aqui !!

love,
crissss~

My vision and expectation for the incoming PY is that we'll be able to grow and develop together as people and that we'll be able to accomplish many projects and be a source of light and truth for the student body. I expect to see everyone accomplish more together, and I know that everyone will do better and perform better when working as a team ;)

Whenever I think of what Aqui will be this year, a lot comes into my head. When I first joined last publication year, I never expected to step up to become part of the executive board, but I don’t think I regret anything. I’m hoping that we can start taking more opportunities, like spearheading more events and joining more competitions. I’m confident that we can push through this year as a team. I hope to work more with everyone, especially my photogs <3

I feel like we all have similar goals, but I want to maintain my acads while being an active member of the publication. Being part of a busy club is stressful, but I’m sure that this will help all of us grow and achieve our goals as one team with one dream.

My goals is to thrive more in the publication, expand my connections with other people, excel in writing articles and academics and pursue my hobby of writing.

My goals for Aqui naman is that I hope we will continue to bring glory to the name of our publication, and become an eminent figure in the field of journalism.

Other than that, I hope that the members can create memories together during the publication year. Sana matapos yung broadsheet this school year, we can do this!! :D

My vision and expectation for the incoming publication year is that we will be able to produce and spearhead more projects that will continue enlightening the student body regarding specific issues. I also hope that I will continue to improve myself in different aspects, especially in my writing. Finally, I truly believe that this year's ed board members will consistently be the voice of UST JHS and will continue to make a difference beyond words.
