All About the USA Publications

The USA Publications is the official student press corps of the University of San Agustin, Iloilo City, Philippines. It has served as a venue for free expression and intellectual dialogue since its founding in 1928 through the efforts of Jose Mijares and Jose Garcia-Sanchez, insofar as it has set the path for student involvement and active participation. Its unwavering commitment to providing responsive, developmental, and research-based campus journalism is bound by the shared values of truth, courage, and commitment through cutting-edge stories, enriched by Augustinian action.

The USA Pub continues to publish The Augustinian Mirror (Magazine), The Augustinian (Tabloid and E-Newspaper), Irong-irong (Literary Folio), and Dingding ni Gusting (Wall Newspaper) that reap awards in both local and national scenes. Not only does it strive for excellence in the field of campus journalism, but it is also a record of journalistic distinction, with its members continually adding to the Publications' laurels, rather than resting on them.

Our Vision

The USA Publications is an Augustinian center of campus journalism, fostering the advocacy of the common good and acting as the voice of the student body through responsive, developmental, and research-based campus journalism.

Our Mission

The USA Publications dedicates itself to promoting campus journalism inspired by Augustinian ideals through publishing papers upholding Augustinian values, building linkages and partnerships, enhancing the capabilities of the staff, and maximizing the use of adequate equipment and facilities.
