's (EAC) official publication was known as the Magdalo. It released its first issue, with Laura Campos at the helm. She found a need for a publication, and fortunately, she also found potential from Physical Therapy
students. It was regularly released twice every semester or four times a year. The topics then were light and positive, focusing on matters about the administration, events inside the campus, and other issues relevant to the students' interest.
In 1987, EAC and the De La Salle University System (DLSU) merged to form DLSU-EAC. Because of this, Campos, who then became the Dean of Student Affairs, considered adopting a new name for the publication in order to distinguish it from the former EAC's publication. (EAC-Manila also used the name Magdalo for their publication.) A contest was held to give the publication a new name, but since nobody joined, Campos decided to name the publication Heraldo Filipino, in reference to a revolutionary newspaper released from 1898 to 1899 by the Philippine government
under Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo. The new name, which is Spanish
for "The Philippine Herald," was launched and effected in 1989.
Other publications may be released, depending on the situation and preference of the student body.

In her note in the digest, it reads: "Ang kahiwagaan ng palad ng bawat tao at sulak ng kanyang init—ito ang nagbibigay-buhay sa aming pagsilang" (The magic of every person's palm and the outburst of his/her soul—this gives life to our birth). The name Palad literally means "palm" in the Filipino language

The publication is divided into two departments:
On the other hand, there are seven sections, namely:
, reporting mostly on the different issues encountered by the school and its constituents. One such issue was DLSU-D's university-status issue, which caused an uproar among the community. Another issue was during the 2004 student elections, when a Halalan article reported on an underground document called Bantayog, which utterly discredited some student leaders, faculty, and administrators. As a result, some of the people denounced in the Bantayog sued the writers of the article and the editorial board for "discrediting them." HF asserted that they were merely reporting on the issue, and that they have no motive to further discredit the complainants. As a result, the charges against the HF members were dropped.
Aside from publishing newspapers, magazines, etc., HF also holds different seminars, contests, and events, mainly for DLSU-D students. Most of its events are held annually.
In school year 1997 to 1998, HF showed off its stuff in the 5th Regional Tertiary Schools Press Conference, winning awards such as the Best Editorial Page, Best in Page Design/Layout, and First Place in Editorial Cartooning English division in the broadsheet.
