Message from the Chairperson

Butyag Student Council Publication Date: [July 3, 2006]

From the University of the Philippines Cebu College Student Council, warm nationalist greetings to all the brave and genuine Iskolars ng Bayan who were united in opposing the proposed tuition increase in the June 30 Systemwide mass action.

Due to the unity and show of force that we projected in all UP units the UP Board of Regents has decided to postpone the discussion of the proposals to another date. We have temporarily stopped the approval of the said P200 to P600 per unit tuition hike.

This is another testimony to the fact that it is only through collective action that we can bring our struggles to victory.

The Student Council calls on each and every one to be vigilant against all anti-student policies that the administration would like to approve without any consultation.

Once more, we thank everyone who heeded the call to wear black, the more than a hundred UP Cebu students who participated in last Friday’s collective gathering, and everyone who gave support to our fight in defense of the right to education.

Fellow Iskolars, our fight has just begun.

No to Tuition and Other Fee Increases!
Uphold Poper Student Consultation!
Fight for Higher UP & Education Budget!
