Re: General Assembly
In approaching the salient question of our essential tasks for this coming summer vacation, it is important that we understand the seriousness of our vocation for the advancement of democratic rights in the UP community. Indeed, we should be responsive to the objective needs and interests of our constituents. To do so require ample time to consciously plan and rapidly take steps to concretely answer and surmount any challenge that we will inevitably face throughout the year.
The vacation provides us the occasion to prepare for the coming academic year. Let us take advantage of the relatively greater time given by the summer break to lay down the general direction of our term and draw up corresponding plans that are both tangible and specific.
From our last General Assembly for the academic year 05-06 we have, through consensus, designated committee assignments, established summer schedules, updated ourselves on the alarming wave of human rights violations draping the country today, and adopted a resolution defining our stand against “the proposals to make the Reserved Officer Training Corps or ROTC mandatory among all students.”
Let me present our tentative schedules for the summer and committee assignments as discussed during our most recent meeting last March 27, 2006:

More waves of anti-student impositions are expected to hit the university in the near future as the deepening crisis afflicting our backward, agricultural, and foreign dominated society aggravates the commercialized and repressive character of Philippine education.
We must unite firmly to carry out our tasks for the purpose of carrying forward the student’s battle for democratic reforms within the UP community and link these struggles to the people’s movement for a just, democratic, and independent Philippine society.
Let us as much as possible devote our- selves to serving the people and exert the utmost effort to lead the students in such an endeavor.
