ang daming tatangang takes at halatang hindi taga-up dahil clueless sa culture ng univ.

di ko mawari kung paid trolls yung iba rito o mahilig lang mangialam kahit walang alam eh

if ur gonna pretend u belong in this community at least do research para nuanced ang take di yung tunog bobong redtagger lang kayo na naglipana rito

I’ve worked with Alyssa before noong fst council namin. I was in the other side of the aisle. I’ve always resonated with the progressive center-left even before I stepped into college. We didn’t always meet eye to eye with univ and local issues, but I never took it na masamain yung disagreements namin on things. At the end of the day, we’re all fighting for the same progressive cause, just with different methods and principles.

When I heard news of her death, my heart sank. Naging kaklase ko pa siya this sem and one of my last chats to her was reminding her na tumulong sa group report namin. Hindi makatarungan ang naging pagpaslang kay Alyssa. This is state fascism, I call it how I see it. Sobrang nakakasuka ang ginawa ng AFP. Not only that, pero ang lakas din ng troll farm ng estado para lang i-dismiss yung pagkamatay ni Alyssa. Sobrang nakakadiri yung mga nag-ccomment ng “cornbip” at yung haha reactions sa FB. Now, they’re even saying that ginagamit si Alyssa ng mga NDs for political clout. Nakakagalit na makita ang iniwan ni Duterte na kultura ng kabastusan.

Seeing the recent wave of discourse surrounding her death reminded me of the grief the entire UPD community went through. I was so sad I wasn’t able to come sa mga earlier mourning kasi I was sick at that time. I am reminded that injustices happen because of state neglect and violence. Everyday, we seek to change the system, but everyday, we live through the horrors of our material realities.

I might not be the best messenger of this news given that I am from ALYANSA, but I see this more than ever as a time to be united. Let this elections be about the student issues at hand, the current international and national issues. I may not always agree with them on certain issues (e.g. coalitions, fraternities), but let’s not let this divert us away from tackling genuine student concerns.

Hustisya para kay Alyssa Alano!!
Hustisya para sa Negros 19!!

gets sa hate for frats and fratmen pero wag sana mag malinis yung mga org members diyan hahaha dami sa mga “app process” niyo na borderline hazing pero di kayo ma-shame kasi “orgs” lang naman kayo 🥴

Let’s all agree that the idea of an organization isn’t a bad thing. Sobrang daming lessons na you can get from a decent org. Pero let’s all agree that “frats” is not just a simple org. It’s a cult.

And if you’ll say that it is the right of all citizens to freely organize, and that the same logic applies to frat, then think twice. When those same fraternities you’re defending are the roots of all the bad things in UP. Starting from the admin, Jijil, himself a proud APB member, the current chancellor of Diliman, Vistan, a member of Lonsi. And don’t get me started with SR. By far. the worst thing that happened to UP—just look at Enrile, a proud member of SR lol

Throughout the years they have gathered boys and has perpetuated sexism, misogyny, racism, homophobia, islamophobia, violence, HAZING, in their ranks, and hiding themselves from accountability using an ass of a concept that is “brotherhood”

That is why it is insane to me to see a post that is asking advice whether to join one for a petty reason. If you’re looking for free admission in UP then you don’t deserve being here in the first place. I know a lot of to-be-lawyers from those waitlisted deserve it more than you do. And really,, sa SR pa out of all of the bunch?

No matter how much they try to sanitize their image by invoking the names of their prominent alumni, they cannot erase the stain of blood and tears left by those they have oppressed and the families of those who have died because of their violence.

So to all the freshies, I want you to know na there’s a reason why we need to #AbolishFrats

nung pinaka-first sem namin as freshies okay naman sila (theres two of them). pero next sems na naging parang avoidant (??) or standoffish sila sakin. i noticed this bc isang araw, nag-aactivity lang kami sa class, and we were drawing and coloring models which didnt require much focus kasi sobrang basic lang, and lahat talaga nagdadaldalan (sila din nakikipagdaldalan as well). i asked them a question about the activity and di ako sinagot so i thought my voice was just mahina, so i asked again PERO NAG AACT SILA NA PARANG GHOST LANG AKO WTF. sinabi na nung isang classmate namin “huy tinatanong kayo” pero kunwari parin walang narinig…?!

i had good relationships/friendships with our other progmates/batchmates naman & got along well with everyone. wala naman akong possible na ginawang mali sa kanilang dalawa kasi hindi ko sila regularly kausap, parang normal lang naman kaya di ko talaga gets

is this a normal thing at UP? naexperience niyo na din ba to hahahahah

pansin ko lang ha bakit puro mga pumapasok sa candidacy e may mga natabunang issue? know someone na nasa EFC pero cheater at pedo. microcosm na talaga ng Pilipinas ang UP. nakakafrustrate lang siguro yung kapal ng mukha.

Hello, I recently passed UP Tacloban and I have friends na hindi nakapasa ng UPCAT or hindi nakapasok UPG nila sa UP branch na gusto nila. Nung nag ask family ko about it i told them why tapos sabi nila sakin “Ah so kaya ka lang nakapasa kasi mababa lang requirements ng UP Tac?” and honestly, its been giving me imposter syndrome. Napapa-isip nalang ako na baka mas deserving sila instead of me or I passed caused it was “easier”. Meron pang ss dun sa post ni Ned Meijia na parang sinabihan siya ng “hindi naman talaga UPD yan, lower smth campus naman yan nakapasa” SMTH LIKE THAT and sa totoo lang mas lalo ko tuloy dinadoubt yung sarili ko, kasi ganun pala tingin nila sa branches na lower ung UPG requirements. 🫠
