ALERT | Mga delegado ng General Assembly of Student Council (GASC) ng Unibersidad ng Pilipinas, hinarangan at hinarass ng Tacloban CPO PRO 8.

Ngayong araw, Agosto 16, 2024, kinasa ang isang lightning rally sa McDiola, Tacloban City kung saan 200 na delegado ay naroroon upang irehistro ang mga panawagan sa akademikong kalayaan at pagtitigil ng matinding militarisasyon sa rehiyon ng Silangang Visayas.

Subalit, habang isinasagawa ang protesta, mainit na sinalubong ng Tacloban CPO PRO 8 ang mga delegado. Marahas din na inagaw ang mga bitbit na mga placards at banner, at tinulak ang mga lider estudyante na kung saan marami ang nasagutan at nahimatay.

77 na mga delegado ang hinarangan ng PNP, habang isa sa mga delegado ang pinosasan ng mga kapulisan.

Mula 2020, ito ay ang kauna-unahang kilos protesta sa Tacloban. Ang tugon ng kapulisan ay manipestasyon ng pasistang rehimen na walang ginawa kundi takutin ang mga estudyanteng payapang nagprotesta at ang tanging bitbit lamang ay ang mga panawagang kanilang pinaglalaban!

This is a developing story.

HANDS OFF OUR STUDENTS!
DEFEND UP!

Sa pagbukas ng bagong akademikong taon, ating sindihan ang apoy na lumalaban para sa mga boses na hindi pinapakingan, hinuhusgaan at pinapabayaan bilang iskolar ng bayan. Tankilikin ang kanilang tinig sa First Day Rage.

Pakinggan ang aming mga boses, at palakasin ang aming adbokasiya habang ipinaglalaban namin ang aming mga karapatan at ipahayag ang aming mga hinaing.

Sama-sama nating paglabanan angkontra-mamamayan at kontra-estudyanteng polisiya sa loob at labas ng ating unibersidad na nararapat dinggin tulad ng kakaharaping 2.9B na budget cut ng UP System, militarisasyon ng mga pamantasan, PUVMP o Jeepney Phaseout, 4.0/5.0 policy, kawalan ng reading break, at ang napakarepresibong Charter Change ni Marcos.

Maging mga responsable tayong mamamayan at turuan ang ating sarili sa tunay na kalagayan ng ating bansa at kapaligiran.

Iskolar ng bayan! Tuloy parin ang laban!

ALERT: ILLEGAL ARREST AND TORTURE OF FORMER UPV CASSC CHAIRPERSON, FORMER UP STUDENT REGENT FROM UP VISAYAS DESIREE JARANILLA PATUÑ-OG AMONG FELLOW COMMUNITY AND PEASANT ORGANIZERS

CENTRAL LUZON – A group of community and peasant organizers including UP Visayas alumna, former UPV-LFS member, former SAMASA UPV member, former Pagbutlak UPV member, former CASSC Chairperson (AY 1996-1997), and former UP Student Regent Desiree Jaranilla Patuñ-og were apprehended by armed men in CIDG uniforms along the stretch of Jose Abad Santos Avenue in Mexico, Pampanga last July 29, 2024. All in all, five peasant and community organizers and their driver were illegally arrested, including Maria Theresa Buscayno, Andres Ely, and Oliver Millo.

The victims underwent physical abuse which was then followed by their separate detentions at the regional CIDG office and at the provincial CIDG office in San Fernando, Pampanga.

The detained community and peasant organizers vehemently deny the alleged violation of Section 28, RA 10591 AND RA 9516, insisting that the rifles and hand grenades “found” in their possession were merely planted as pieces of evidence against them. This tactic of state forces is no longer new, as planting evidence has long been a practice to conveniently indict activists and organizers.

On top of the illegal arrest and torture, the detained organizers are currently enduring contusions, bruises, and wounds from the assault, with existing medical conditions before the arrest.

The UPV USC VEHEMENTLY CONDEMNS this shameless display of violence, intimidation, and illegal arrest towards our community and peasant organizers who have done nothing but commit to uplifting the dire situations of the Filipino people through their noble and selfless ways. We recount former SR Desiree Jaranilla Patuñ-og’s dedicated service to the masses since her time at UP Visayas’ mass organizations and during her service as the University of the Philippines’ Student Regent, and call on the relevant authorities within and outside the institution to amplify our calls and actions for her release as well as her fellow arrested organizers. As the highest representation of the UP Visayas studentry, we express our disdain towards the state’s brazen violence towards students who consciously chose the path of rendering service to the oppressed and disenfranchised sectors of society, and call for immediate accountability from the CIDG personnel behind this attack.

Just in| Discussion on the 4.0/5.0 Latin Honor Disqualification not included in the University Council meeting set tomorrow, June 20.

Despite the UPV University Student Council’s (USC) official statement released last June 15 regarding the 4.0/5.0 disqualification policy, and the subsequent independent statements from various local College Councils and several degree program organizations, the University Council (UC) Executive Committee has decided not to include the discussion of the appeal.

The decision was based on the reason that the matter was already discussed and tackled in two prior UC meetings.

The UPV USC appeals to UC for reconsideration on their request and readdress the matter, emphasizing the need for further discussion on the issue; moreover, they are set to release an updated position paper for the said matter.

| The University Council (UC) decided NOT TO INCLUDE the matter on the 4.0/5.0 latin honors disqualification in tomorrow's UC meeting agenda

Tonight, a day before the 134th meeting of the UC that is set on June 20, 2024, the USC were informed that the UC decided NOT TO INCLUDE the discussion on the 4.0/5.0 grades and latin honors disqualification in tomorrow's agenda, despite the clear appeal of the students for the esteemed body to answer questions that we would like to be clarified with.

The reasoning that there had already been lengthy discussions regarding the matter, and that it has already been tackled in two UC meetings from before, is counterproductive to the request of the student body. The independent statements of our local College Councils and several Degree Program Organizations that have been released in the previous days support our claim that we are yet to receive answers from the University Council, including the clear justification as to why this policy exists and must be upheld in our academic guidelines.

With this, it is now, more than ever, that we, the highest representatives of the students from UP Visayas, stand our firmest ground on this matter. Our efforts in lobbying and healthy discourse were subjected to dismissal by the select members of the institution who are the only ones who can provide answers for us. Thus, we are asking once again, for the whole of UC to reconsider our request and have the body discuss this legitimate concern tomorrow at the 134th UPV University Council meeting. We are also calling on the professors from the UC who understand the merits of providing answers to the students, to support us and raise our position to the members.

Tomorrow, the UPV USC will release an updated position paper. We only request for the members of the UC to take their time in reading the paper, and understand the necessity of another discussion with the body.

𝗢𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝟰𝟰𝗧𝗛 𝗨𝗣𝗩 𝗨𝗦𝗖 𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗨𝗣𝗩 𝗔𝗗𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡’𝗦 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗩𝗘 𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝟰.𝟬/𝟱.𝟬 𝗔𝗖𝗔𝗗𝗘𝗠𝗜𝗖 𝗣𝗢𝗟𝗜𝗖𝗬 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗡 𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗢𝗥𝗦

Last April 2, 2024, the 44th UPV USC held a dialogue with Chancellor Clement Camposano, OVCAA Representative Prof. Nilo Araneta, Vice Chancellor for Administration Farisal Bagsit, and Office of Student Affairs Director Prof. Sonny Huyong, where matters regarding the UPV Students’ Specific and General Demands for 2024 were discussed. In the meeting, 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟰.𝟬/𝟱.𝟬 𝗮𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 “𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲𝗱” 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿, citing the decision made by the University Council last July 2022 which ruled against the granting of latin honors to students who incurred a 4.0/5.0 grade on NSTP and PE classes from the Class of 2022.

However, it is in this council’s strongest opinion that the matter is not and must not be treated as resolved in due consideration of the underlying facts and nuances that are yet to be relayed and clearly presented to the student body, faculty, and the members of the University Council. The 44th UPV USC does not find its opinions different from the points stated in the position paper submitted for consideration at the UP Board of Regents last 2023[1]. We would like to emphasize once again that the implementation of this policy in the Class of 2022 did not follow the rules on proper publication following the decisions of the Supreme Court, as Memorandum No. NOA-2022-07-13, the only document that first contained this announcement, was released only 10 days before the 2022 graduation ceremony. This behavior of the UPV Administration and University Council highlights the major issue regarding the campus administration’s negligence of democratic practice and transparency in matters, most especially policies, concerning the students.

Considering the implementation of this rule in the UPV Student Handbook version 2022-2023 published last March 2023, where it first officially appears as an explicit academic policy without the conduct of proper consultation with students who are directly affected, due clarification must be provided regarding the clause “all courses prescribed by the program,” in the Additional Rules from the Graduation with Honors section of the Student Handbook. In the beginning of the section, the absolute minimum weighted average grade for the latin honors are specified, including the statement that clarifies the basis for the computation of GWA which is as follows: “𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘂𝗺, 𝗮𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗮𝘀 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀, 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲.” NSTP and PE, being courses that are not included in the subjects 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙗𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙪𝙢 𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙢 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙪𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙂𝙒𝘼, nor counted in the units earned to qualify for graduation, must not affect the students’ qualification to graduate with latin honors. This same point has been continuously emphasized in the last two years, from those made by the former sectoral regents at the 1382nd BOR meeting, to the agenda of the 43rd and 44th UPV USC in the several dialogues with the UPV administration.

We respect the University Council having the sole and highest authority in the institution that sets standards and qualifications for graduating with honors. However, as the highest representing body that stands at the forefront of championing students’ democratic rights and welfare, the 44th UPV USC would only like to reaffirm our stance on calling for the UPV Administration, particularly the body that comprises the University Council to once again, open themselves on a discourse regarding our academic policies. With this, we invite the UC to consider the following questions on its 134th meeting this coming June 20, 2024:

• What makes UP Visayas different from other UP constituent units, being the only CU that strictly implements this blanket academic policy for the courses prescribed by its academic programs?
• Can the esteemed members of the UC take a moment to consider and discuss as an independent body on the necessity of the existence of this policy in the first place?
• For further clarification in the interest of the constituents, what caused the UC, as a body, to decide on the 𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆 regarding the 4.0/5.0 rule for latin honors in 2022?
• Finally, is there a chance that members of the UC believe there is a connection between the 4.0/5.0 rule and its rigid implementation because of the premise that there are concerns on “grade inflation”?

If, in any case, there is dissatisfaction in the quality of our students’ or graduates’ skills and capacities, we believe that there is a misdirected attention if we find that the answer to this is depriving students from receiving latin honors for incurring a 4.0/5.0 grade, despite the final general weighted average reflecting their qualification. As advocates of academic freedom, we also believe that there must be no question on the members of the faculty who are the immediate evaluators of each student. We believe that what all faculty members teach, how they teach, and how they assess students are matters that must be honored and treated with integrity. Therefore, if the cumulative value of all these individual assessments point to the student’s qualification for a latin honor, then no additional rule must apply to deprive them of such recognition.

The USC wishes to make it clear that we hold the University Council of utmost respect and regard especially as they stand as pillars of academic freedom for honor, excellence, and service. Thus, we are posing the challenge for this esteemed council to confidently defend the integrity of this institution, heed the calls of the students, and present its firm position on academic freedom and democratic rights that does not contradict between the welfare of its constituents.

To the organizations, students, faculty, staff, alumni, and all concerned individuals, the 44th UPV USC calls on your active participation in this discourse. In the midst of the present education crisis, mired with the colonial, commercialized, and repressive elements of the ruling system, 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗳𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀.
