THE COMM.360° | The Day We Call Mother’s Day

There is a version of love we only begin to understand as we grow older—the kind that was always there. It lives in quiet sacrifices and everyday routines, in the meals prepared, the reminders given, and the care that never asked to be noticed but quietly holds everything together, especially on days when life feels rushed or heavy.

Mother’s Day is not the beginning of that love, but a brief pause where it is finally recognized. It reminds us of the different ways mothers carry their responsibilities—some working long hours, some doing it alone, all showing up in the ways they can. It is a moment to appreciate the presence and effort that shaped us long before we learned to see it.

THE COMM.360° | Power at a Price: When Electricity Becomes a Daily Struggle

Electricity should power our lives, not limit them, yet today it feels like every switch we turn on comes with a consequence. As a college student, I have started to see that electricity is not just a necessity but a constant source of worry. In the Philippines, where power rates are among the highest in Southeast Asia, electricity has become a growing burden for ordinary consumers. It is no longer just about using less electricity; it is about surviving the cost of it. A big part of this problem lies in how electricity is priced, from dependence on imported fuels to added charges like VAT that make monthly bills even harder to manage. Even institutions like universities are forced to adjust through energy-saving measures, showing that the issue is no longer individual but systemic.

Saving electricity is often presented as the solution, but for many Filipinos it already feels like a sacrifice rather than a choice. Families limit appliance use despite extreme heat, students study under less comfort, and daily routines are shaped around avoiding high bills. While global fuel price increases and inflation continue to push costs upward, electricity remains a basic need that is increasingly difficult to afford. When consumption is reduced out of necessity rather than sustainability, it highlights a system that places too much burden on consumers. Ultimately, electricity policy is not just about power supply—it is about whether everyday life remains livable for those who depend on it.
