Over a hundred multisectoral groups from Baguio–Benguet marched in white and red as they joined the Protestang Bayan para sa Serbisyo, Kabuhayan, at Panagutan on November 30, 2025, walking from the Baguio Convention Center to Burnham Park.

The localized protest, which coincided with Bonifacio Day, was dubbed “Baha sa Burnham” and is part of a simultaneous nationwide call to end the country’s systemic corruption. It gathered various sectors, including public market vendors, jeepney drivers, teachers, artists, students, mining-affected communities, and members of the religious and health sectors.

Aside from the main call to end systemic corruption, the groups also raised concerns on several local and national issues directly affecting residents, including the proposed mallification of the Baguio City Public Market by SM Corporation, the jeepney phaseout, mining in Itogon and Mankayan, budget cuts in education, and lack of access to quality health care, among others.

Underscoring these concerns, Kabataan Party-list Cordillera Representative Gabriel Siscar said, “Kasabay po ng bilyong-bilyong ninanakaw sa pondo ng taong bayan ay kinakaharap din naman po ng simpleng mamamayang Pilipino ang samu’t saring problema. Nariyan ang banta ng mallification at corporate takeover sa ating palengke, nariyan ang patuloy na banta ng jeepney phaseout, nariyan ang panghihimasok ng mapanirang proyekto sa ating komunidad—dito sa ating probinsya at sa rehiyon.”

Among the sectoral groups that aired their concerns were the public market vendors threatened by the proposed market development under the Public-Private Partnership scheme. Sofia Villanueva from Women Vendors Association asserted that vendors are not against development, what they want is for the government to develop the market instead of a mall developer.

“Kami po hindi tumututol sa development ng palengke, ang gusto po namin ay ang gobyerno ang gumawa ng palengke na kaaya-aya sa mata ng taga Baguio, kaaya-aya sa mata ng mga turista, upang akitin natin ang mga tao sa loob at labas ng ating lugar, para magkaroon ng magandang kontribusyon sa equity ng ating lugar,” said Villanueva.

Adding to these sectoral perspectives, Jaime Bernabe II, Editor-in-Chief of The Mountain Collegian, spoke about the struggles of earlier mobilizations in Benguet. He pushed back against the misconception that protesting is “not what Igorots do,” noting that demonstrations have long taken place in their communities and even within Benguet State University. He added, “Ang Igorot po ay may kakayahan at characteristic po na mag-resist noon pa lamang.”

Aside from the solidarity speeches delivered by various sectoral groups, performances rendered by the local artists were also a highlight of the program protest. The protest then concluded with the waving of flags, culminating the protesters’ show of solidarity.

Youth leaders from across the Cordillera region convened for the Panagtipun 2.0: Regional Youth Leaders Summit held at 456 Hotel, Baguio City, on November 28–29, 2025.

The summit, spearheaded by the Cordillera Youth Center in partnership with KIYO, a Belgium-based non-government organization, brought together student council leaders, campus publications, and youth-led organizations from all provinces of the Cordillera Administrative Region.

The two-day gathering aimed to strengthen leadership skills, amplify the voice of the youth, and build networks that connect local initiatives to broader national and global advocacies.

Throughout the summit, participants were immersed in discussions on the Cordillera youth situation, youth participation in governance, and advocacy work. These were followed by workshops facilitated by the National Union of Students of the Philippines–Cordillera, the College Editors Guild of the Philippines–Cordillera, and Innabuyog Metro Baguio.

Students from various institutions took part in the event, including Benguet State University, University of the Philippines Baguio, Kalinga State University, Apayao State College, Mountain Province State University, University of Abra, Ifugao State University, University of the Cordilleras Senior High School, Pines City College, and Cordillera Regional Science High School, among others.

“As Cordilleran youth, we carry unique stories and struggles, and this summit helped us turn those into collective action. Meeting fellow youth leaders from different provinces showed me how powerful we can be when we work together. I’m going home with new skills, stronger connections, and a clearer purpose, knowing that even small initiatives in our schools or communities can create meaningful change,” said Shekinah Hombrebueno, a participant from Benguet State University.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗕𝗮𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗼’𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁, 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸

When people think of Baguio, they imagine the cool mountain breeze, pine-covered hills, and the bustle of tourists seeking pasalubong before heading home. For generations, the answer has always been simple, you go to the public market.

But imagine five years from now. Instead of the familiar maze of stalls, you are greeted by a four-story building sleek, modern, and guarded. Bags are checked at the entrance, fresh produce is replaced with packaged displays, and the vibrant chaos of vendors, porters, and convoys is silenced by mall music and fixed, pricy goods. What was once a living market becomes another mall, hidden behind the façade of “redevelopment.”

𝗨𝗿𝗯𝗮𝗻 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲

Baguio has long been called an “urban jungle.” Its rapid growth of almost 5.4 percent in 2024, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority, has reshaped its landscape beyond the original city plan envisioned during the American colonial period. The city now holds far more residents than it was designed to accommodate, straining infrastructure, transportation, and public spaces.

Urban planning prioritizes balance, development that respects cultural heritage, environmental sustainability, and the needs of consumers and its people. Yet the proposed “redevelopment” of the public market risks repeating the mistakes of unchecked mallification, where malls dominate Session Road and Luneta Hill, erasing green spaces and community hubs in favor of corporate profit. The city of Baguio is not made and shouldn’t be known to be a mall-nolitic city, but a hub made and convened of different cultures and communities.

𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗺-𝘁𝗼-𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸

The market is not just a place of commerce; it is the lifeline of farmers from Benguet and the Cordillera. Every day, vegetables, fruits, and other produce flow directly from farm to market, sustaining livelihoods and ensuring affordable food for residents and tourists alike.

If the market is transformed into a mall, this chain is disrupted. Farmers may lose direct access to consumers, squeezed out by corporate suppliers and standardized pricing. Kargadors, porters, and delivery convoys, those who carry the literal weight of the city’s food supply, would be displaced. Awa sa farmers whose survival depends on the continuity of this system, not its replacement by mall facilitators.

𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲

Markets are more than economic spaces; they are cultural institutions. In Baguio, the public market embodies resilience, hospitality, and community. It is where generations of vendors have built livelihoods, where stories are exchanged over bundles of vegetables, and where tourists experience the authenticity of local life.

Mallification erases this cultural fabric. A mall is generic, transactional, and impersonal. It discourages the mingling and human connection that define a true public market. To lose the market is to lose a piece of Baguio’s soul.

𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲

Thousands depend on the market for income, vendors, porters, small traders, and their families. Redevelopment that risks pricing out locals, replacing affordable goods with expensive commodities, and marginalizing those who have sustained the market for decades.

This is not just an economic issue; it is social justice. The public market is public by name and by spirit. It should remain managed by the city and its people. It should be an expanse solely dedicated to the public, free from a corporation whose principal office resides outside Baguio, and free from non-disclosure agreements that breed suspicion and undermine transparency.

Baguio needs redevelopment, yes, but redevelopment that strengthens, not erases, its identity. Urban planning should improve infrastructure, safety, and sanitation while preserving the farm-to-market system and cultural heritage. Development must mean better facilities for vendors and farmers, not another mall that caters to corporate greed.

The people of Baguio are not against progress. They are against progress that comes at the expense of their culture, their livelihoods, and their right to a truly public market.

The Baguio City Public Market is more than a place to buy pasalubong. It is a living testimony of resilience, community, and culture. Redevelopment should honor that legacy that was passed by the original vendors, from the group up.

𝗕𝗦𝗨 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴

Benguet State University students along with faculty members and alumni, raised placards and banners as they demanded “Pundo! Pundo! Nayunan yu para ti eskwelaan a BSU!” in a historic Baguio-Benguet Walkout Para sa Edukasyon, Karapatan, at Pananagutan, on November 18, 2025.

The walkout protest, which amassed around 300 participants, held a discussion group and placard making in front of the university library before marching toward gate two, where a call for student action followed.

During the discussion, Jaime Bernabe II, Editor-in-Chief of The Mountain Collegian, spoke about the systematic corruption leading to the budget cuts among the Cordilleran SUCs. He also highlighted pressing issues such as the development takeover of the Baguio City Public Market and the mining of ancestral domains, in line with the consent violations within the region.

On challenging corruption, Bernabe said, “Kailangan po natin palitan ang bulok na sistema na ito. Nag-dedetoriate po na sitwasyon na ito, ay ang nag-aalab ng ating damdamin para po magkaisa. Kaya po kailangan na tayo ay mag-kaisa para po sa kinabukasan. At para na rin po maging strongholds sa ating kinabukasan na gagawin, para po hindi na tayo mabalik sa ganito na kaparaanan at sitwasyon.”

Meanwhile, when asked about the reason for joining the walkout, Samantha Ching To, a student from the College of Natural Sciences said, “…I believe that together, we can amplify our collective voice and demand meaningful change. By uniting, we increase the pressure on the government to listen and respond to our calls for increased university funding and improved facilities.”

Speaking on how the budget cuts affected her as a student, To claims, “….university budget cuts have led to frequent cancellations and postponements of classes due to classroom shortage and unfilled instructor positions. Laboratory equipment is lacking, and essential facilities such as restrooms and classrooms remain in poor condition.”

Moreover, Kabataan Representative Kenneth Arroco also said in a statement, “This is a very historic event that will shape the BSU community.” He added, “Hindi ito ang huli, marami pa tayog kakayurin para sa ating adhikain.”

The call for action continued with a centralized event at Malcolm Square, Baguio City, where 5,000 attendees from BSU, Saint Louis University, University of the Philippines, University of Baguio, and University of the Cordilleras, joined forces in demanding accountability amid the ongoing corruption probe in the government.

Benguet State University students have successfully obtained official approval to hold their Walkout Para sa Edukasyon, Karapatan, at Pananagutan protest, following active lobbying with the university administration.

The protest is scheduled for November 18, 2025, from 12:00 noon to 1:00 p.m. in front of the BSU Library. Students will call for increased state subsidies to reverse budget cuts and demand accountability amid ongoing corruption affecting education and livelihood sectors.

As part of International Students’ Day, the walkout will unite students from several Baguio-Benguet universities, including the University of the Philippines Baguio, University of the Cordilleras, University of Baguio, and Saint Louis University.

After separate campus activities, participants will converge at Malcom Square, Baguio City, at 5:00 p.m. for a centralized program.

Benguet State University students are set to demand an increase in state subsidy amid budget cuts to the university’s capital outlay, as they take a stand against corruption and call for accountability through the Walkout Para sa Edukasyon, Karapatan, at Pananagutan happening tomorrow, November 18, 2025.

As part of the International Students’ Day, the protest is a collective initiative that brings together students from various universities across Baguio-Benguet to denounce systemic government corruption, which has harmed both livelihood sectors and the education sector, leading to shrinking budget allocations for state universities and colleges.

Gathering support from faculty members and alumni, the students will push through with the protest in front of the BSU Library from 12:00 noon to 1:00 PM, despite the university administration’s recent announcement denying any support or endorsement for the mobilization.

In the official statement of the Mountain Collegian, students are asserting their rights to protest within legal and constitutional bounds without seeking explicit permission for the assembly itself, as inscribed in the Batas Pambansa 880. “It is not our intent to destroy or damage the reputation of the university or its administration, but rather to find equal grounding to unify diverse perspectives in uplifting the BSU community when it comes to providing quality and accessible education.”, the statement emphasized

Aside from demanding increased state subsidies to stop budget cuts and uphold quality education, the discussion during the protest aims to deepen students’ awareness of their role beyond the classroom and encourage active engagement with pressing local issues, such as the “mallification” of the Baguio Public Market and the Indigenous peoples’ struggle caused by Crescent Mining in Mankayan.

Other participating universities include the University of the Philippines Baguio, University of the Cordilleras, University of Baguio, and Saint Louis University. Students will hold their own walkout and program on their respective campuses before converging at Malcom Square, Baguio City, at 5:00 p.m. for a centralized program.

This will be the second protest within the municipality this year, following the "Benguet Tumakder Ka!" rally that took place last October 18.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐚𝐧’𝐬 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐨-𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐨𝐮𝐭

Our deteriorating situation, driven by widespread corruption, demands a continuous and consistent call to action. It is no surprise, then, that movements have emerged calling for systemic change. In line with this, the youth and students continue to take the lead in working toward a just future.

Thus, universities remain active in organizing initiatives, including the upcoming Baguio-Benguet walkout on November 18 in observance of International Students’ Day. These initiatives did not emerge out of nowhere; it is a response shaped and compelled by the very conditions of the system we face.

In this light, the Mountain Collegian, the official student publication of Benguet State University recognized the desire of our very own student body, faculty, and stakeholders to lead the movement in our own university, as we believe is rightfully so. It is written in our mandate that we are the mother organization that bridges the voice of the studentry to the administration. Hence, being at the forefront of this solidarity action within the university is not merely a choice but a necessity.

We are disheartened to read the statement of the Benguet State University in their page discouraging the event when the purpose of the solidarity action is to be an avenue for meaningful dialogue and to give our community informed decisions for the betterment of everyone’s future.

We disagree with the idea that a walkout, especially one grounded in clear, well-informed, and justified concerns, is automatically irresponsible or unproductive. Peaceful assembly and protest are fundamental to any academic community that values freedom. They are, in fact, a direct expression of the thoughtful and critical thinking that the administration itself claims to promote.

Our demand is clear: higher state subsidy for our university, stop the budget cuts, and uphold quality education. This standpoint arises from the practice of critical thinking, which nurtures students’ genuine concern for the university and its development. This is not the usual rhetoric of merely following a trend or speaking without understanding the consequences of our actions. BSU constituents have real, lived experiences within the university, and that alone is proof that we know exactly what we are fighting for.

Thus, the solidarity action was deliberately designed to begin with a discussion focused on the facts we gathered regarding the university’s bid for a higher budget, as well as the students’ concerns about classrooms and facilities.

The discussion also aims to deepen students’ understanding of their role, recognizing that their learning is not confined within the four walls of the classroom. There are local issues in their communities that require their intellect and energy, such as the situation at the Baguio Public Market and the intrusion of Crescent Mining in Mankayan.

We even adjusted our timeline to noon to 1PM, which is lunch time, to minimize the class disruptions that the event will bring.

As courtesy to the university, a letter for endorsement of the activity was sent to the Office of the President. The office, however, required that it should be done in due process as a student activity, with an activity design, a program paper, and a permit.

We admit that the processing of the papers is still underway due to time constraints, given the expectation that the proper student organization will take the initiative for the cause of the students and the BSU faculty.

Given this problem in the process and technicality, we also recognize that it is a right inscribed in our laws that any student is free to protest within legal and constitutional bounds without seeking explicit permission for the assembly itself.

Any student, faculty, or stakeholder of the university can exercise their right to peaceful assembly and freedom to express, even without a permit, when held within the campus of government-owned and operated educational institutions, as stated in the Batas Pambansa 880. The Commission on Higher Education’s statement dated September 23, 2025 also says that no form of silencing, threats, or intimidation may be directed toward students who speak up about corruption.

Our intention is pure. We are not your enemies.

It is not our intent to destroy or damage the reputation of the university or its administration, but rather to find equal grounding to unify in uplifting the BSU community when it comes to providing quality and accessible education.

We understand your concerns, knowing that protests are uncommon in our university. Still, moments like this call on us to be a beacon of truth—something that must outweigh any hesitations.

We hope that the BSU administration sees this effort as a collective stance and contribution to unite the university as a whole, sharing its goal of improvement and excellence.

With this, The Mountain Collegian is one with the students of Baguio and Benguet in their "Walkout Para sa Edukasyon, Karapatan, at Pananagutan.” We encourage BSU constituents to exercise our thoughtful analysis and critical thinking skills by turning our learnings into meaningful action!

Hello, admins and BSUkols! Lately, we have been thinking of the dynamics surrounding the Benguet State University (BSU) Freedom Wall (FW) and its impact on the university as a whole. The BSU Freedom Wall has been a subject of debate regarding whether it is actually doing more harm than good for the university.

With that, we figured it is the perfect time to gauge the public perception of the social media platform through an online survey prepared by The Mountain Collegian. Non-students, such as faculty members and administrators, are also welcome to participate in the survey! Click the link below:
