University of the Philippines students have declared August 20, Tuesday, as the"UP Day of Walkout and Action," to protest against deemed threats to academic freedom from state authorities.
John Isaac Punzalan, UP student regent, said in a statement that"our academic freedom is high at risk of being taken away from us as we become vulnerable to baseless accusations, intimidation and harassment." The rally, which was endorsed by UP Diliman Chancellor Michael Tan, will begin at the AS Lobby in UP Diliman, Quezon City, and end at Liwasang Bonifacio in Manila.
You guys are studying for free using taxpayers’ money. Kindly be more responsible enough and utilize this opportunity better😂
That's tax payers money well spent smh
Defund UP. Don't want my taxes funding some entitled, delusional kids. Want to go to the street or support the NPA? You don't need our taxpayer money for that.
Walk out and don't return.
Ibalik nyo pera namin. Mga walang kwentang estudyante winawaldas ang pera ng taong bayan.
Sige, provoke nyo pa si Digong hihi
Mag liberal arts or humanities related courses lang sumasali dyan. 😏
