Why should child sexual abuse be understood as a systemic issue?

Through their insights, we begin to uncover how gaps in institutions, policies, and accountability shape the realities faced by children today. 🧩

This is only the beginning of the conversation.

[CALL FOR DONATIONS]

Drew, a 3rd year Financial Aid Scholar of BS Psychology and a dedicated Gawad Kalinga Ateneo Volunteer, sustained a severe arm injury and was rushed to The Medical City Emergency Room on April 11.

While he is currently stabilized, he is in need of surgery as soon as possible and is taking consistent medication to prevent further complications. The surgery is of highest priority as the longer without it, the higher the likelihood the blood vessel in the arm cannot fully recover and permanently cut off circulation from the rest of his arm.

Drew is now in need of assistance, especially as this takes a major hit on their finances and Drew’s ability to attend and perform in his classes and other responsibilities.

We are kindly knocking on your hearts to ask for any amount to help fund Drew’s surgery. Your kindness is greatly appreciated! Kindly scan the QR Code to donate to Drew's Mom's GCash, or message our page for additional help.

Thank you!

Advocacies rooted in hope and care deserve to be shared. 🌷💜

TUGON reaffirms their commitment to protect and empower children and all people through holding their “Bantay Bata, Buong Bansa” — the self-defense initiative under NCSAAM 2026, last Wednesday, March 25 at Ateneo de Manila University’s Faura AVR. 🥋

This event successfully helped participants gain more knowledge about awareness and personal safety. 💪

While the event is over, may this be a step for us to stand for one another, and create a more secure environment for all. 🫂

“because all her life, she lived to feed.” 🍳

In “Omelettes,” Mikael Aller traces the quiet, enduring labor of the women who made life possible, particularly his mother and grandmother. While the poem centers on her grandmother, it carries the weight of a lineage shaped by care that often goes unnamed: feeding, tending, holding a life together so another may move forward.

The piece lingers in the small, intimate textures of memory: the smell of sun-dried laundry, the sound of familiar music, the taste of a dish that never quite becomes the same in one’s own hands. Through this, Mikael reflects not only on distance, but on the subtle, aching gap between generations: what is inherited, what is lost, and what can never be fully returned.

At its core, “Omelettes” becomes both a remembering and an offering; a way of honoring the lives that came before, and the quiet sacrifices that continue to shape the present.

“She's just a player who lost a level she never got to finish.
And she's still waiting to be loved like the game is over.”

DISCLAIMER: The following story contains references to child sexual abuse, trauma, and psychological distress.

This National Children’s Sexual Assault Awareness Month, we confront the quiet, often invisible ways violence embeds itself into memory, body, and growth. Not all harm ends in the moment it happens; some of it lingers, rewrites, and follows survivors long after, shaping how they move through the world. 💌

Read “The Quicksave Corruption” by Player 10, a powerful narrative that explores survival, memory, and the lasting impact of abuse through the language of a game that was never meant to be played this way.
