𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐃𝐈 𝐁𝐈𝐍𝐔𝐁𝐔𝐑𝐀 𝐀𝐍𝐆 𝐊𝐀𝐒𝐀𝐘𝐒𝐀𝐘𝐀𝐍.

54 na taon na ang lumipas mula nang ideklara ang Batas Militar. Ngunit sa paglipas ng panahon, hindi dapat kasabay nitong maglaho ang mga alaala ng mga Pilipinong nakaranas ng takot, pang-aabuso, at pagkawala ng mga karapatan.

Kaisa ang UP Agribusiness Society at ang buong sambayanang Pilipino sa komemorasyon sa masalimuot na karanasang dinanas ng ating mga kababayan sa ilalim ng rehimeng Marcos at ng Batas Militar. Sa mahigit dalawang dekada ng pamumuno nito, iniwan sa ating kasaysayan ang malalim na sugat ng malawakang paglabag sa karapatang pantao, korapsyon, katiwalian, at karahasan.

Makalipas ang mahigit limang dekada, muling nagkaroon ng Marcos sa pagkapangulo ng bansa. Lalong nagiging mahalaga ang pagpapanatili ng katotohanan sa kasaysayan, lalo na sa harap ng mga pagtatangkang baguhin, pagtakpan, o baluktutin ang mga alaala ng nakaraan. Huwag nating hayaang mabago, baluktutin, o burahin ng paglipas ng panahon ang mga aral ng nakaraan. Sapagkat ang kasaysayan ay hindi lamang mga pahina sa aklat. Ito ay mga buhay na naapektuhan, mga pamilyang nagdala ng mga alaala, at mga karapatang ipinaglaban.

Huwag tayong manahimik. Makialam, makiisa, at makilahok. Ipagpatuloy ang pag-alala, ipaglaban ang katotohanan, at gamitin ang ating tinig upang mapanatiling buhay ang mga aral ng kasaysayan para sa mga susunod na salinlahi.

Para sa isang bansang punong-puno ng likas na yaman, bakit kaya mas nakikinabang pa ang mga dayuhan kaysa sa bayan?

Isang taon matapos tayong sama-samang lumabas sa ating mga silid-aralan, patuloy pa rin nating nararanasan ang mga suliraning dulot ng kapabayaan at maling prayoridad ng estado. Sa buong UP System, nakaamba ang ₱2.95B budget cut para sa susunod na taon. Sa CEM, ilang taon nang nakatengga ang gusaling dapat sana’y nagsisilbi na sa atin, habang nagsisiksikan ang mga mag-aaral, faculty, REPs, admin, at staff sa limitadong espasyo.

Habang kinakapos ang pondo para sa edukasyon, patuloy na tumataas ang presyo ng mga bilihin at nananatiling kulang ang sahod ng mga manggagawa. Samantala, itinutulak ng administrasyong Marcos Jr. ang Pax Silica at Luzon Economic Corridor, na higit pang nagbubukas sa ating ekonomiya at likas na yaman sa dayuhang interes.

Kung hindi ka pa galit, bakit?

Bilang mga Ekonomista ng Bayan, hindi tayo mananatiling tahimik habang ang edukasyon at kabuhayan ng mamamayan ay isinasantabi para sa interes ng iilan at dayuhan.

CEMBAYANAN, LUMABAS SA SILID-ARALAN! WALKOUT NA! ✊

Protecting schools means defending the dignity, aspirations, and opportunities of every learner.
