By: Chloe Arabella Cristobal | Copyedited by: Mekylla Marie Villapaña | Publication: Elyzza Esteban Fashion is a word that holds a lot of meaning for many different people. It’s also one of those words that can be characterized in many unique ways. Some may describe it as a collection of the latest clothing trends you see on social media, or a personal wardrobe that you think fits your style the most. Although, at its very core, fashion is defined as a way of dressing or behaving in a particular time and place. From bold colors and loud prints to muted shades and intricate designs, one’s choice of clothing has never failed to let us catch a glimpse of the personality wearing the garments. Clothing serves to cover bareness, but in doing this, a person’s heritage, culture, and history may be laid bare for us to witness. The utter volume at which fashion speaks through its design is the reason why it does not only provide the runway statement pieces, it can also provide the public with important political statements that are relevant to our time. Regardless of this notion, on July 10, 2024, House Secretary General Reginald Velasco announced that guests wearing outfits with political statements or derogatory words will be banned from attending President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) on July 22. As I heard the news, I thought back to the countless activists and politicians that wore these issues on their sleeves, literally. Over the years, multiple personalities have sported outfits related to often unaddressed political problems to the government-sanctioned event to shed light on these rudimentary issues. In the 2022 SONA, the Kabataan Partylist stunned the attendees with a special Barong Filipino worn by Kabataan Rep. Raoul Manuel. The initial sketch was made by student-artist Albert Raqueño, who turned the Barong Filipino into a canvas for a mural painting that showed the need for unity and social progress. On the back, there is a phoenix that symbolizes the struggles that each generation goes through to achieve this change, yet the continuous flow of the painting emphasizes the everlasting hope and optimism of the youth. Similarly, in last year’s SONA, Gabriela Women’s Partylist Rep. Arlene Brosas graced the red carpet with a top designed with stunning rose gold embroidery and a bottom half painted with imagery portraying opposition towards the Maharlika Investment Fund. This Filipiniana was designed by art teacher and activist, Michael Joselo. On the same carpet, ACT Teachers Partylist Rep. France Castro wore statement attire that pleaded for salary increases for teachers, nurses, and government workers. The skirt was painted with images of underpaid workers’ struggle as they try to navigate through their journeys despite this setback. It was also decorated with red and blue arrows pointing upwards signifying the need for salary increases. This was also designed by fellow educator, Joselo. The last stop in our trip down memory lane is the political SONA wear of Bayan Muna Rep. Carlos Zarate. In particular, his Barong Filipino designed by Atty. Ma. Sol Taule that was painted with depictions of Filipino Fishermen declaring sovereignty in the West Philippine Sea over China. In 2019, when tension was at an all-time high because of China’s belligerent presence in Philippine waters, his attire sent a needed reminder that we needed to fight for what is ours. These are only some of the many instances that have shown how fashion can function as a reflection of our time and a prompt of our past. Moreover, it can also serve as a hallmark that shows the progress we have made since these issues have risen. In modern times, fashion is not simply just what is popular, fashion is a reminder of what holds most relevance.

I Can See Who Skipped
By: Zyriel Josh Coronel | Copyedited by Mekylla Marie Villapaña | Graphics: Fre Anne Grace Tenedor Instagram is undoubtedly one of the most used social media platforms in the world. In fact, it has been for many years already. And if there’s one good thing that it brought us, it was its ability to inform and raise awareness about social causes and issues. Some may have seen Instagram stories that include stickers that state, “Tap in if you’re against rape,” “Repost if you support Palestine,” “#NoToJeepneyPhaseOut,” and more. While these chainmail-like messages may advocate causes, the problem arises when these stickers are followed by “I can see who skipped” or “I can see who ignored,” forming guilt-tripping. These stories employ guilt-inducing public perception. Immediately after seeing them, the person feels under pressure to repost, or else they could be perceived negatively. Some people could believe that by not reposting, they demonstrate their lack of support for the social cause. Furthermore, this trend deflects attention away from the problem by highlighting individuals who refuse to share instead of the problem itself. Rather than placing the load on the offenders or disseminating crucial details about the issue, those who refuse to share are put on trial in front of the public. Another point is that specific stickers, such as those about anti-rape, may be more detrimental rather than helpful, as they may cause triggers for the survivors who might see them. Viewing these stories may cause them to relive their own trauma. Social media activism may be a powerful tool in modern advocacy, especially with its ability in rapid dissemination of information and mobilization of support. However, it is crucial to understand the importance of fostering healthy conversations and avoiding harmful behaviors. Let us aim to shift from guilt-tripping to constructive dialogue that encourages people to engage thoughtfully and empathetically with issues. Provide facts, statistics, and personal stories to help people understand the issue deeply and feel motivated to take action. These methods not only amplify the message but also ensure that it resonates more deeply with a broader audience, driving meaningful change. While solidarity is crucial, using guilt to achieve it is counterproductive. By shifting from guilt-tripping to positive and inclusive strategies, activism can become more effective in creating lasting change and garnering genuine support for important social causes.

RaTQing SONA 2024
The Quantum’s Statement President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. delivered his third State of the Nation Address (SONA) on July 22, 2024, presenting the administration’s priorities and responses to pressing national issues, including economic, political, and social matters, for the coming year. In his address yesterday, Marcos harped on concerns such as inflation, particularly focusing on rising rice prices, and pledged improvements in energy infrastructure. The president also reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to disaster preparedness and educational reforms. He also addressed matters concerning the country’s state in tourism and healthcare. Lastly, Marcos discussed his foreign policy positions on the West Philippine Sea and ended by announcing the immediate ban on Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs). While the Quantum’s Editorial Board agrees that Marcos’ addresses are truly commendable and powerful, some if not most rely on effective implementation before showing results. This is especially true with the agricultural sector dabbling in renewable energy, the education sector prioritizing bridging the “digital gap”, the infrastructural sector dealing in ways to increase bandwidth and internet connectivity capability, and even a slight mention of exploring artificial intelligence and its practical use. More than ever before, the administration is dealing in new territory, requiring meticulous planning in order to minimize possible losses and ensure the many projects’ success. We also acknowledge the long-awaited ban on POGOs, which have been linked to serious crimes such as financial scams, money laundering, and human trafficking. It is peremptory for Marcos to provide clear directives on the cessation of operations for the remaining Internet Gaming Licensees (IGLs), given that the regulator’s authority extends only to legal operators. The 43 IGLs currently employ approximately 40,000 Filipinos, raising significant concerns regarding job displacement and the transition to alternative legal gaming operations, such as land-based casinos. The responsibility for addressing the persistent issue of illegal POGOs, which continue to operate covertly, now falls to law enforcement agencies and local government units. While the ban on POGOs is a positive development, additional measures are necessary to effectively address and eradicate the illegal activities associated with gaming. In tandem with addressing illicit industries, the President’s focus should also turn to fulfilling the constitutional mandate to prioritize education. The 1987 Constitution imposes that the highest budgetary priority be given to education. This is a legal obligation, not a discretionary choice by any president. While President Marcos Jr. has claimed credit for improvements in higher education, the true driving force behind this recognition is the hard work of Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs), empowered by their constitutionally guaranteed academic freedom. To support education, President Marcos Jr. should announce substantial budget increases for all state universities and colleges, potentially tripling the 2024 budget allocation. As a student publication from a public science high school, we emphasize the gravity of this situation and call for curriculum updates, infrastructure investments, and salary increases. While the Quantum recognizes the administration’s plans and achievements in various sectors that are laid in the SONA, certain issues remain unaddressed by the president. The absence of discussion on the Freedom of Information (FOI) bill, the Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity/Expression (SOGIE) Equality bill, and the Divorce bill are notable gaps. The first in particular speaks volumes for the current state of press freedom in the Philippines. Such matters cannot fly under the radar as something not of top priority. Doing so only blurs the line of the nation’s information transparency. This proves that significant public issues are yet to be given the attention they command and that the SONA leaves much to be desired in this regard. The Quantum firmly believes that true evidence of a nation’s progress must stem from genuine experiences with government interventions, not merely polished or manufactured narratives. We stand united with the Filipino people in declaring that rhetoric alone is insufficient. The continual cycle of acoustic politics without substantial progress on critical issues is no longer acceptable, and most definitely not fitting of the title “Bagong Pilipinas.” After captivating the populace of cascades of promises and assurances, we call on President Marcos Jr. to roll in now the tangible results.
