As Women’s Month comes to a close, we take a moment to look back and celebrate the stories, strength, and brilliance that women continue to bring into every space they lead.

We are honored to celebrate a milestone in leadership, as this publication year, we proudly highlight the all-women Editors-in-Chief of the HAU Press Club. Across every publication, these leaders guide our campus journalism, uphold journalistic integrity, and prove that the future of leadership is undeniably female.

To the women who have led our publications, thank you for your vision, strength, and commitment to serve the truth. Your voices inspire, empower, and pave the way for generations to come.
Here’s to women who lead, who write, and who shape the stories of tomorrow.

𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗡𝗢𝗪 | Commuters wait at the SM City Telabastagan Terminal for transportation towards San Fernando today, March 23. This continues amid the nationwide transport strike, joined in by jeepney drivers and conductors transiting in between San Fernando and Angeles.

With that, the city government of San Fernando has launched a “libreng sakay” program for commuters with specific pick-up and final drop-off points from 6:30 AM onwards. Waiting time for commuters has been reported to reach an hour before being able to ride on government vehicles.

The Angeles City government has cancelled its planned “libreng sakay” program in routes going to Dau, Mabalacat, Magalang, and Porac as jeepney drivers and conductors in those areas did not participate in the strike. The city government of Angeles and Holy Angel University have not declared suspensions for work and classes today.

| Today, March 13, concerns have been raised among Angelites as phishing emails are spreading in their Outlook using alleged or impersonated names such as “Harold Diaz” and “Chang Hyun Park”, falsely claiming that recipients have an outstanding tuition balance of 12,000 pesos or 15,000, and are demanding to settle their remaining balance.

The emails also state, “Furthermore, if your debt is not settled before 16/03/2026, we will have to forward your file to our litigation department,” threatening students with legal action if they do not pay urgently via GCash. The senders also request proof of payment and promise “results within 2 to 3 days” once the balance is settled. They also encourage financially struggling students to apply for financial assistance to pay for the required amount.

Emails such as this one are called a phishing scam. It is a deceptive digital tactic where someone impersonates a trusted individual or institution, just like the use of HAU Finance in the emai, to deceive the receiver into surrendering money. It uses a psychological hook or fear-mongering to persuade and push the victims to follow their demands. Scams like this usually use punycode or fake email— “[email protected]” in this case.

Beware of falling into phishing scams. To verify your remaining balance, you can check the online payment center at the HAU Campus portal.

Keep safe and informed, Foxes!
