After a PHP security vulnerability was identified, the University of Southeastern Philippines (USeP) restricted the access to its websites and information systems Thursday, Oct. 22.

The security measure came to ensure all institutional data and digital services are safeguarded from potential breaches.

According to the university, the online channels are temporarily accessible only within USeP campuses when connected to campus networks.

It also added that despite a physical presence inside the campus, users will still not access the digital systems when using external networks and mobile data.

Currently, the Systems and Data Management Division (SDMD) is addressing the issue and a notice will be posted once resolved.

Entries may be written in English, Filipino, or Cebuano and should respond to this weekโ€™s one-word prompt: ๐Œ๐„๐ƒ๐€๐‹.

A medal is more than a piece of metal worn with pride. It carries the weight of every effort, the memory of every sacrifice, and the joy of reaching something once thought impossible. Yet, behind every shining surface lies a story that may never be told.

For this week, look beyond the medal and tell us what it truly represents. Is it a symbol of victory, a reminder of a difficult journey, or a keepsake of a moment that changed someoneโ€™s life? Perhaps the most meaningful stories are not about the medal itself, but about everything it took to earn it.

Selected works, along with their illustrations, will be published on The Collegiate Headlightโ€™s official page.

Tatlong hindi pa nakikilalang lalaki ang pumasok sa apat na opisina ng University of Southeastern Philippines (USeP) Mintal Campus noong madaling-araw ng Oktubre 18, 2026, at tumangay ng โ‚ฑ2,700.

Inalerto ng mga tagapangasiwa ang mga awtoridad noong umaga ng Oktubre 19 at ipinasa ang kuha ng CCTV na nagpapakita sa pagpasok ng mga suspek at sa pagtatangkang harangan ng isa sa kanila ang kamera.

Ayon sa PNP-Mintal, posibleng may kaugnayan ang insidente sa iba pang pagnanakaw sa lugar, kabilang ang mga naitala sa Philippine Science High School noong nakaraang linggo at sa Mintal Comprehensive High School at Mintal Elementary School noong madaling-araw ng Oktubre 19.

Iniulat na ni Mintal Campus Director Dr. Aristeo C. Salapa sa PNP-Mintal ang insidente at ipinaalam din sa administrasyon ng unibersidad ang nangyaring pagnanakaw.

Nagpulong din ang direktor ng kampus, mga pinuno ng mga apektadong opisina, at mga kinatawan ng ahensiya ng seguridad upang talakayin ang mga posibleng hakbang upang matugunan ang mga kahinaan sa seguridad ng kampus.

Sa kasalukuyan, hinihintay ng unibersidad ang resulta ng imbestigasyon ng PNP-Mintal at ang pagkakakilanlan ng mga suspek.

Pinaagi sa pagpanlimos, iyang paningkamotan nga matubag ang iyang inadlaw nga panginahanglan, apan nagpabilin ang pangutana kon asa siya makapahulay nga dili mabasa sa ulan ug dili mahadlok sa pagpangdaog-daog. Hangyo ni Jamael sa City Government sa Davao ang tabang pinansyal ug oportunidad sa trabaho aron makakaon ug makapuyo siya og tarong. Andam siyang makat-on ug motrabaho kon hatagan og higayon, samtang nagpadayon sa pagsalig sa Ginoo. Sa luyo sa iyang pagpaningkamot, ang iyang pangandoy yano lamang: ang adunay luwas nga kapuy-an, pagkaon sa matag adlaw, ug kahigayonan nga mabuhi nga adunay dignidad.
