“We will not allow both the Marcoses and the Aquinos to reshape our history…”
“We are here today because we believe that the struggle of Filipinos during that time did not end. As youth, we have a role to continue that not only for our future but for the next generation as well.”
“We hope that the Supreme Court will see the realities that the DepEd refuses to acknowledge, and not become a party to killing the dreams of hundreds of thousands of young Filipinos.”
“Government should act on the worsening education crisis.”
“We strongly condemn China’s militarist approach to the sea dispute.”
“There is a need for us to express alarm, since this oppressive policy – which has already been the subject of congressional debates in the past – remains largely in place.”
Youth groups are set to stage walk-outs to protest rising tuition and other fees.
“What greater injustice could there be than to be robbed of one’s youth? To be jailed for one’s beliefs?”
“The proposed reform will not raise the quality of UP education contrary to what the proponents say. UP has long suffered from dilapidated facilities, high tuition, and exorbitant fees due to lack of state support. What we need is a truly progressive, patriotic and mass-oriented UP education, not more colonial education.”

“To generate profits, Apec and other similar chains, employ fewer and unqualified teachers and provide facilities which do not comply to standards. What’s quite regrettable in this regard, and almost scandalous, is that the government has waived regulations that exist in the provision of education, to satisfy the business interests of Pearson and Ayala.”
“Our protest today symbolizes our disgust for the current rotten system.”
“Our fight for greater state subsidy for education continues.”
“Is the AFP trying to play catch-up with the horrid human rights record of the previous administration?”
June 1 marks the start of school calendar in public schools in the Philippines. It is also a day of protest for critics of the government’s K to 12 program.
How ready is the government to implement K to 12’s Senior High School in 2016?
“The illegal imposition of increases in tuition and other school fees continues even without the Ched approval.”
“The commencement exercise and her welcome speech then became not merely traditional school-officiated exercises but alternative avenues to speak for justice.”
“Today we walk out against BS. No more lies, no more injustice, no more impunity.”
