Matanglawin, literally "Hawk's Eye" and usually contracted as Mata, is the official student publication of the Ateneo de Manila University in the Filipino language.
The character of Cabesang Tales from Jose Rizal's novel El filibusterismo took the word as his moniker when he descended into terrorism and banditry after having been maltreated and denied justice by the Spanish colonial government.
[3] The publication does not limit itself to being simply a dead piece of paper; Matanglawin also presents itself as an organization of students who advocate social involvement and substantial reforms within its avenues of service to the University and the country.
In view of this, the organization is divided into seven branches or "bagwisan" (literally, "wing"):[4] Matanglawin has garnered a multitude of awards in its 40 years of existence.
In 2002, it has also won the Best Magazine Award at the annual Gawad Ernesto Rodriguez Jr, sponsored by the College Editors Guild of the Philippines.
