In May, welfare institution Hospicio de San Jose appealed for monetary aid after going into lockdown after some of its staff members tested positive for COVID-19.
To aid the foster care institution and to help sustain the Lasallian community pantry, the Taft Initiative will be hosting Tahanan Benefit Concert on Saturday, July 31.
“As the effects of the pandemic are still being felt by communities all across the country, people with the best intentions at heart continuously step up to the plate in order to address these problems,” the student-led organization said.
“Whether it may be to provide food for starving families and those in need, to creating projects that serve as an avenue for raising awareness to the different social and political issues at present, the Filipino youth has always thrived in the service of others.”

“To ensure that all eligible members of the Lasallian Community will be able to vote in May 2022 general elections, everyone is encouraged to visit the neatest COMELEC Office and Satellite Registration site to process their voter registration, transfer, reactivation, or verification,” DLSU Chancellor Br. Bernard S. Oca FSC announced.
Meanwhile, faculty and staff of DLSU may also file an official business request for the same purpose.
“Let us all register, vote, and actively participate in determining the future of our nation,” Oca added.
At least four million new voters have registered for the 2022 general elections.

On Sunday, Padilla said DLSU was established for “insulares, peninsulares, and mestizos” during the Spanish colonial period in the Philippines.
“Are you from Ateneo? de la Salle? UST? All Spanish established schools for insulares, peninsulares, and mestizos. You don’t need to be a doctor of anything to accept reality,” the action star wrote on his Facebook account, replying to a netizen who called him out for defending Sen. Bong Go who earlier claimed that Lapulapu was a Tausug who came from Sulu.
Padilla’s claim was quickly debunked by history advocacy group High School Philippine History Movement.

Aljun Melecio led the final batch of players who beat Wednesday’s deadline for application to the PBA Rookie Draft set March 14.
The La Salle guard confirmed his decision to forego his final UAAP season and put his name to the record list of applicants for the virtual draft proceedings.
A record 97 players applied for the draft as many opted to capitalize on the cancellations of other leagues and the relaxed requirements for Fil-foreign cagers due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Melecio followed the lead of other UAAP cagers who submitted their names in the draft following the cancellation of the collegiate league’s cage season due to the pandemic.
