Welcome!

It's finally up! Arrrgh!

After what we thought was eternity, someone finally managed to setup this site. Plans of setting up The Adamson Chronicle site was hatched as early as August, but several things got in the way.

Nevertheless, tachronicle.8m.net is finally up. In the next few days we will be updating this site with the latest campus news that will not be able to make it to the print version of the paper. We would also be providing for a feedback site, some opinion section from the editors, as well as being able to post ur own messages online via the "Freedom Wall" where everyone gets to post his ideas about anything. Of course, we would give priority to issue-related matters and localized content, whenever possible.

Also, watch out for a weekly update of your favorite nosy little frog Kurimao as we open our channels to your side. Got a point to drive? Send it to us and Kurimao will happily tackle it.

This site will also post selected feature and literary articles rom past and present issues of the paper, giving you a balanced dose of news, commentaries, culture, and even entertainment.

In addition to giving pertinent information about what's happening in and out of Adamson, the paper also strives to provide for an open environment for interaction.

With this, we are also inviting everyone to submit their articles to us and post them up, which is of course subject to editing.

THE DEPARTMENT of Labor and Employment-National Labor Relations Commission (DOLE-NLRC) dismissed the charges of unfair labor practice filed by the Adamson University Faculty and Employees' Association (AUFEA) against the university administration for lack of merit based on the decision it issued on November 27, two months after the union were forced to wage a strike following the failure of CBA negotiations between the union and university officials.
  The said order, signed by Commissioner Vicente SE Veloso, also stated that the strike staged by AUFEA on September 3-11 was illegal. It also upheld the termination of the five top officers of AUFEA as legal due to its defiance of the Return to Work Order and directed the parties to "conclude their CBA within thirty (30) days from receipt hereof in order that the industrial peace restored by the DOLE Secretary's certification be maintained."
 "The NLRC has distorted facts," Babylin S. Tero, terminated AUFEA president, averred in her reaction to the NLRC decision. She added that they are awaiting the decision of the Court of Appeals (CA) which they believe would be favorable to the union. read more.


3 students cry foul vs Maans

THREE ADAMSONIANS found themselves in a tight situation after being slapped with extortion charges by the proprietors of Ma-Annes Student Canteen, a popular eatery found along C. Zobel Street.
  Last October 29, Val Candelaria, a 4th year Political Science student, Marlon Escobar, a senior Electrical Engineering Student and Willie Eclipse, a Management Graduate, were having their meal at the said canteen when they found a rat's tail in their Bicol Express.
  Shocked, the three called the attention of the food servers regarding what was served to them.
  The trio sought the assistance of a certain Kagawad Yambao of Barangay 660, which has jurisdiction over the canteen. They filed charges at the Barangay Headquarters, where Barangay Chairperson Haidee Solidum stepped in as arbiter to resolve the issue.
  According to the logbook of the Barangay, the two parties met in a series of hearings and both presented their sides. Mrs. Sheila Sy, the owner of Ma-Anne's, said that she herself prepared the said meal and that she did not notice anything unusual with the food that she was preparing and that "she was very careful in doing so."
  Solidum then proceeded to talk about compensation for the offended parties. Mrs. Sy stated that she can only give back the amount which the group had paid for their food. Candelaria declared P150,000. Mrs. Sy argued that she did not have that much money to pay them that amount.
  In an exclusive interview of the three students with the The Adamson Chronicle, Eclipse stated that Mrs. Sy had told them before the meeting that she will pay no matter how much the amount will be. Candelaria added that he was seeking for the said compensation because of the humiliation he felt on the statement that she said. "Ibinibigay nga sa amin yung tig-te-trenta namin, sabi nila wag na daw kaming kumain doon (Ma-Anne's)," Candelaria averred.  
  October 14, 2001. After almost two weeks after their meeting, the two sides met again at the barangay headquarters for what was supposed to be the last meeting of the two parties. The trio is to receive the compensation from Mrs. Sy under the supervision of the barangay captain. Mrs. Sy handed the money to Eclipse, who passed the money to Solidum to be counted, which is the way it should be as Solidum was the overseeing authority, according to Eclipse.
  According to Solidum, Mrs. Sy promptly left the barangay headquarters after she handed the money over to Eclipse.
He then gave the money to her (Solidum) in order for her to count the money when uniformed police officers entered the premises and nabbed the three students, citing that it was an entrapment operation for an extortion case filed by Mrs. Sy. Solidum was unaware of such operation.
Both parties agreed afterwards to a reconciliation. Eclipse said that they were not the ones who brought up the idea of a compensation, and that all they wanted was a thorough medical check-up.
  Mrs. Sy however said that since only one student ate the Bicol Express, he should be the only one to file the complaint and that the other two should just serve as witnesses.
