MANILA, Philippines — As debates persist about how to uplift Philippine society during the 2025 midterm elections, the voices of local communities are too often ignored.

Foreword 2025 is an issues-based interview series for senatorial candidates running in the national midterm elections this May, organized by The GUIDON, the official student publication of the Ateneo de Manila University. Guided by the United Nations’ 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, the series serves as a platform for the concerns of the nation’s youth and marginalized sectors to ground public discourse and uplift voices.

In the first episode, The GUIDON sits down with Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) Representative France Castro.
