Re: First General Assembly
Warm Greetings!
The sword of Damocles hanging over our heads was not at all removed with the lifting of Presidential Proclamation 1017. The crackdown on Gloria’s opponents and the assault on the freedom of expression and right to assemble did not at all end with the removal of the dictatorial measure.
In the context of the Arroyo administration’s systematic abandonment of the education sector and the unprecedented attacks on civil liberties to stifle all opposition to the regime’s anti-people policies, there is a need to wield the sharpest line in advancing the student’s democratic rights and interests.
Let us stand firm in another dark period of unbridled political repression and wield the weapons of critical thought and collective action. Twenty years after the ouster of Marcos, the challenge is upon us to relive, and not only remember the lessons of EDSA.
To this end, we will hold our First General Assembly, 6:30 PM this March 7, 2006 (Tuesday) at the Student Council Office. The meeting, a day before the official commencement of our term, is intended to tackle our initial plans for the next few weeks.
While the incoming UPV-USC councilors will have to wait till June for their terms to start, they are still invited to observe the College-SC General Assembly with the incumbent UPV-USC councilors.
