NAGKAKAISANG PAHAYAG NG MGA KONSEHO AT ORGANISASYON NG UP MANILA TUNGKOL SA KARAHASAN NG MGA PULIS

Kahapon, matagumpay na nagsagawa ng kilos-protesta ang libo-libong mamamayang Pilipino, kasama ang sangkaestudyantehan ng UP Manila. Mula Luneta ay nagtungo tayo sa Mendiola upang ipakita ang kolektibong galit sa korapsyon at kawalang pananagutan, at patuloy na singilin ang rehimeng Marcos-Duterte.

Subalit, ang protesta ay naharap sa karahasan ng kapulisan ng Maynila. Sila ay nang-intimida, nang-aresto, nanghila, naglabas ng tatlong teargas, nagwater cannon, at namaril ng mga sibilyan at kabataan na dumalo sa protesta. Isa sa mga hinuli ay si Mattheo Wovi Villanueva, isang mag-aaral mula sa UP Diliman College of Arts and Letters. Sa gitna ng mapayapang pagkilos, siya ay brutal na binugbog at sapilitang kinaladkad palayo ng mga kapulisan. Ito ay malinaw na halimbawa ng pamamasismo ng gobyerno sa sambayanang lumalaban. Patunay lamang na ang mga pwersa ng estado ay tagapagtanggol ng interes ng mga naghaharing-uri.

Mariing kinukundena ng mga konseho at organisasyon ang patuloy na kaharasan ng kapulisan – ang brutal na dispersal, pananakit, at arbitrary arrests laban sa mga nagprotesta sa Ayala at Mendiola. Binabatikos din namin ang pagpigil ng mga kapulisan na makausap ng kaanak at mga abogado ang mga arestado. Patuloy naming ipinapanawagan ang hustisya para sa mga biktima ng kaharasan ng pulis, at iginigiit namin ang kagyat na pagpapalaya sa lahat ng inaresto, lalo na sa mga menor de-edad at PWD. Dapat ding ipagamot ang mga sinaktan at inabuso ng mga pulis.

Naninidigan ang mga konseho at organisasyon na makatwiran ang magprotesta. Ang pagsasagawa nito ay pagpapahayag ng galit ng sambayanan sa korapsyon ng bulok na estado. Hindi kailanman krimen o terorismo ang paglaban. Sapagkat ang tunay na krimen ay ang pandarambong sa kaban ng bayan at ang tunay na terorista ay ang administrasyong Marcos-Duterte, ang imperyalistang US, at mga tuta nitong kapulisan, na patuloy inuuna ang pansariling interes habang nilulugmok sa kahirapan at pang-aapi ang mamamayang Pilipino.

Kasabay nito, inaanyayahan namin ang buong komunidad ng UP Manila na patuloy tumindig at makibaka laban korapsyon at pasismo ng bulok na administrasyong Marcos-Duterte.

Palayain si Mattheo Wovi Villanueva!
Palayain lahat ng bilanggong pulitikal!

𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐚𝐰 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐚 𝐠𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐚 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐬. Until now, it is a grim reminder of how Marcos Sr. silenced the press, suspended freedoms, and unleashed years of numerous human rights violations while billions of ill-gotten wealth were stolen from the people. Its consequences persist through blatant corruption and dynastic rule of unqualified leaders, including Marcos Jr., which continue to deprive Filipinos of their rights. Yet despite attempts to erase this dark chapter, the horrors of Martial Law are not forgotten—the cries of its victims still echo in the streets, a testament that true power lies in the people.

𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐏 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐦𝐚 𝐀𝐥𝐩𝐡𝐚 𝐍𝐮 𝐒𝐨𝐫𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐥𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐦 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐨 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐮𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐚𝐰 𝐞𝐫𝐚. A country cannot fully recover from its past when it willingly forgets the truth that haunts us even up to this day. The scars of Martial Law remain through the illusion propagated by the Marcos-Duterte regime dubbed as ‘Bagong Pilipinas.’ There is no ‘Bagong Pilipinas’ when ghost infrastructure projects, petty political debacles, and systemic corruption continue to remind us that the chains of the past still bind the present. As long as there are Filipino citizens suffering under this administration, the fight against corruption should never end. Turning a blind eye and remaining silent will never be a solution, as prices of goods continue to rise, health services fail to provide the care people desperately need, education faces crisis, workers receive low wages, all while they face the threat of even higher taxes.

The attempts of the current Marcos administration to recycle his father’s regime is an insult to the thousands of activists who lost their lives in the struggle for justice and the suffering endured by the Filipino people. We cannot let history be rewritten when the abuse of power, lives lost, corruption, and the impunity during the Marcos regime continue to plague us through the persistent ills of our society today.

Decades may have passed, but our duties as Filipinos remain: to commemorate the past, demand for accountability, and defend our democracy. Today, we are challenged to demand for our rights and fight against the persistent injustices against our country and countrymen. 𝐀𝐬 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬, 𝐰𝐞 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐬—𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐮𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬.

Across the country, anti-corruption protests are taking place, and we encourage everyone to join in this collective struggle. Let us not allow these crimes and injustices to fade into forgotten headlines of the past. The stories of those who suffered, resisted, and fought for freedom must remain alive in our conscience. We must keep demanding accountability until those responsible are truly brought to justice. We once stood together to defend our democracy. We can do it again.

𝐍𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧. 𝐍𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐚 𝐩𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐲; 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐚 𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐛𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧𝐞. 𝐏𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐮𝐬. From 2023 to 2025 alone, anomalous “ghost” projects have drained the Philippine economy of ₱118.5 billion, a staggering amount that will never see the light of day… safe in the pockets of “PolitiContractors.” The Commission on Audit has flagged numerous infrastructure projects which were already labeled as complete despite being incomplete, defective, or worse–projects that continuously haunt us by existing only on paper. One of which is UP Manila’s historic Rizal Hall which remains inexplicably unfinished after seven years.

𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐏 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐦𝐚 𝐀𝐥𝐩𝐡𝐚 𝐍𝐮 𝐒𝐨𝐫𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐥𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐲 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐠𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬. We stand firm in demanding transparency, accountability, and completion of all these government-funded infrastructures to the level of quality and safety that the Filipino people deserve.

It is clear that the current accountability mechanisms in place are not effective against the deeply entrenched practice of bribery, kickback, and political patronage that only serve those who benefit from a subdued democracy.

The Philippines loses billions of pesos to corruption annually and ghost projects are a big contributor to this. The Filipino people are not suffering because of the lack of funds. We are suffering from unsafe roads, substandard healthcare and education because of lack of transparency. Choosing not to hold those in positions of power accountable means choosing the disruption of national development and worse, a bleak future for the generations to come. We should not allow the cycle of deception and misuse of funds to continue while Filipinos suffer the consequences of poor infrastructure.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐏 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐦𝐚 𝐀𝐥𝐩𝐡𝐚 𝐍𝐮 𝐒𝐨𝐫𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐥𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲, 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐲𝐞𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐛𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬. In a nation where democracy is built upon the people’s voices, transparency and accountability must be the foundation of the leaders serving them. Ghost projects cannot be labeled anymore as mere administrative lapses when every miscounted peso could have been used for roads, schools, and hospitals instead of luxury shoes, bags, and cars. Those who are guilty must face concrete consequences such as fair prosecution and restitution of stolen public funds, so that justice is rightfully served for the Filipino people.

We also call on every Filipino to keep being vigilant and demanding for transparency and accountability. Our collective and active efforts in calling out those who are guilty have already sparked resistance against the injustices that we have been facing–another step towards a culture where accountability is normalized and corruption is shamed. We also encourage the UP Manila community in taking a stand against such injustices by joining the 𝗪𝗔𝗟𝗞𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗧𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟮, 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝟭𝟭:𝟯𝟬 𝗔𝗠 𝘁𝗼 𝟭:𝟬𝟬 𝗣𝗠. Together, let us use our voices in demanding accountability and transparency. We cannot remain silent anymore.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐏 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐦𝐚 𝐀𝐥𝐩𝐡𝐚 𝐍𝐮 𝐒𝐨𝐫𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐥𝐚 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐬 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐞𝐬’ 𝐃𝐚𝐲. On this day, we commemorate and honor the courage and sacrifices of every Filipino whose unwavering love for our country and countrymen continue to shape us as a nation. We firmly stand on the belief that we are called to continue the heroism of those who came before us by carrying forward the fight for freedom and injustices in our country.

As we celebrate National Heroes’ Day, we would also like to highlight some of our modern-day heroes–our Filipino doctors, nurses, and medical staff–who continuously serve us with compassion and empathy, despite the challenges they face. From 1990 to 2017, around 350,000 doctors, midwives, and nurses have left the country caused by several factors driven by low morale and lack of government support (Bernal, 2024). As of June 2025, most Filipino nurses are underpaid and understaffed while healthcare demands continue to rise (Dizon, 2025).

With this, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗣 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗺𝗮 𝗔𝗹𝗽𝗵𝗮 𝗡𝘂 𝗦𝗼𝗿𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗹𝗮 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀. Our National Heroes have taught us that nationalism thrives when a nation supports its people–and today, that is a responsibility that we must carry on forward by uplifting our healthcare workers. We honor their sacrifice not only with remembrance, but by refusing to be silenced in the face of injustice.

Many nurses earn only an amount that falls far below living wages and pushes manu of them to leave the country in search of fairer and better opportunities (Bernal, 2024). This not only undermines their dignity as professionals but also weakens our healthcare system, leaving millions of Filipinos without adequate access to medical care. Supporting our healthcare workers, therefore, means supporting the health and survival of every Filipino. By standing with them, we affirm the principle that healthcare is a right, not a privilege, and that those who safeguard the nation’s health deserve fair pay and humane working conditions.

While some argue that budget constraints hinder major progress, the issue is not the lack of resources but the lack of prioritization. The study shows that new medical and nursing graduates receive little to no support from the government despite rising healthcare demands (Gatchalian, 2025). If the government can allocate substantial funds to other sectors, it can also invest in those who save lives everyday. Their struggles with low pay and understaffing have long been ignored, yet they continue to serve with passion and dedication. To ignore their plight is to weaken the very backbone of our healthcare system.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗣 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗺𝗮 𝗔𝗹𝗽𝗵𝗮 𝗡𝘂 𝗦𝗼𝗿𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗹𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝘄𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀. From doctors to nurses, medical technologists to support staff, these modern-day heroes have sacrificed beyond measure and deserve far more than recognition alone. They deserve just and livable wages that truly reflect their invaluable service, not public shaming and unjust accusations amidst the overwhelming working conditions they have to navigate while saving lives. To truly honor them is not simply to praise their sacrifice, but to demand systemic reforms that uplift their dignity. Hence, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗿𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝘂𝗽𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗴𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲. On this National Heroes’ Day, we call not only for remembrance of those who fought for freedom, but also for decisive action that ensures justice and dignity for people who embody heroism in our time.
