Established on 27 October 1987, UP Manila’s official student publication has always struggled to echo the voice of the students, preserve the rights to freedom of speech and expression of the university, and practice advocacy journalism to serve the Filipino people. Up to this date, The Manila Collegian continues to feature the struggles of its constituents — the Filipino people through its articles, illustrations, and photographs. Thirty-two years after its inception, The Manila Collegian lives up to its motto: The truth is mighty and it shall prevail!
