Why is an organization representing student publications giving its highest commendation to someone whom the CPP itself identifies as part of its armed revolutionary movement?

Noong Pebrero 27, 2026, inaresto ng Quezon City Police ang dating College of Arts and Letters Representative sa University Student Council na si Jobert Pillas kaugnay ng alegasyon ng rape. Ilang araw matapos nito, mula Marso 2 hanggang 4, nagsagawa ang University Student Council ng emergency general assembly at ipinataw kay Pillas ang 30-araw na preventive suspension. Kapansin-pansin na sa naturang assembly, hindi agad isiniwalat sa maraming miyembro ng konseho ang partikular

But before her name appeared in an encounter report, Bihag was known a decade ago as a campus journalist and youth leader.
