On September 22, 2025, UCLM students filled the Annex 1 Quadrangle with one voice—demanding justice, accountability, and truth. What began as a rally against corruption became a powerful declaration that the youth will not be silenced.

With raised fists and unwavering conviction, students called on leaders to guard the nation’s hard-earned taxes and end the betrayal of public trust. The sight of hundreds standing shoulder to shoulder sent a clear message: a new generation is ready to rise, united for a just and honest society.
