PANOORIN: Nagmamartsa ngayon ang mga miyembro ng LGBTQIA+ community upang ipagdiwang ang Pride Moth 2023. Ang ilan sa kanilang panawagan ay ang pagsasabasura ng VFA at EDCA at ang hustisya para sa mga biktima ng gender-based violence.

Sa UP-DILG Accord, ipinagbabawal ang pagsasagawa ng kapulisan ng anumang operasyon sa loob ng kampus na walang pahintulot ng administrasyon, maliban na lamang sa ilang natatanging pagkakataon katulad ng “hot pursuit.”

Bagamat sinasabi ng kapulisan na hindi naman operasyon ang pakay nila sa loob ng kampus, nakababahala pa rin para sa mga estudyante ang presensiya ng mga ahente ng estado sa akademikong espasyo.

Dagdag ng mga estudyante, hindi na bago sa kapulisan ang pagpapalusot at pagtatago ng intensyon para tiktikan ang mga nais hulihin.

JUST IN: Matapos ang pagraratsada sa Senado kaninang madaling-araw at ang pagpapatibay ng Bicameral Conference Committee Report ngayong gabi, tinanggap na ng Kongreso ang bersyon ng Senado ng Maharlika Investment Fund Bill.

Lagda na lamang ng Presidente ang kulang bago ito maging ganap na batas.

Binatikos ng mga progresibong grupo ang minadaling pagpapasa sa naturang panukala na anila’y dahil sa malinaw na pambabraso ng Malacañang.

Giit ng mga nagsusulong ng panukala, makatutulong ang MIF sa pagbangon ng ekonomiya ng Pilipinas.

Ngunit sabi ng mga kritiko, walang sapat na proteksyon para sa pera ng taumbayan na gagamiting pampuhunan nito, at hindi malinaw kung paaano mapapanagot ang mga nasa likod nito.

Nauna nang nagpahayag ng pagtutol sa panukalang ito ang mga konseho ng buong UP system noong ika-54 na General Assembly of Student Councils sa Cebu noong Pebrero.

TIGNAN: Inanunsyo na ng Office of the Student Regent ang simula ng proseso ng pagpili ng susunod na UP Student Regent.

Magiging kinatawan ang ika-40 na Student Regent ng lahat ng mga mag-aaral ng UP sa Lupon ng mga Rehente.

| ATTENTION: ALL UP STUDENT COUNCILS, PUBLICATIONS, FORMATIONS, AND STUDENTS

The UP Office of the Student Regent officially announces the start of the Search Process for the next UP Student Regent!

The Student Regent is the sole representative of more than 50,000 students across the UP System in the Board of Regents, the highest decision-making body of the university. It is the responsibility of the Student Regent to know the issues and demands of the students in every unit of the UP System to mount and spearhead systemwide campaigns with them effectively in advancing their democratic rights and academic demands. In recognition of the historical struggle for student representation, the UP Office of the Student Regent is the product of the militant tradition and movement of the UP student body.

Truly, the struggle for justice continues and along the way, our student representation must remain preserved and protected.

The OSR will start receiving nominations today, May 31, 2023, until June 13, 2023.

Here is the latest memorandum from the OSR for the Search for the 40th UP Student Regent.

TIGNAN: Nakiisa ang iba’t-ibang sektor sa pagkilos na ikinasa ng mga manggagawa ng Wyeth Philippines Progressive Workers Union kanina, Mayo 30, sa harap ng Nestle Cabuyao Factory, bilang pagtutol sa hindi makatarungang pagtatanggal ng kumpanya ng higit 140 na manggagawa, kasama na ang ilang opisyales ng unyon.

Bagamat noong Marso pa nakatanggap ang ulat ng unyon na binabalak ng kumpanya ang malawakang pagtatanggal, ikinabigla nila nang sinabihan silang huwag nang pumasok noong Mayo 18.

Giit nila, nakaw na yaman ang bilyon-bilyong kinikita ng kumpanya kung handa silang basta-bastang tanggalin ang mga lumilikha ng yaman na ito para makatipid.

Kung kaya ng kumpanya na kumita ng kabuuang P5.8 bilyon o netong P2.7 bilyon noong 2021, anila, hindi nito kailangang magtanggal ng manggagawa.

Patuloy nilang iginigiit ang pagbabalik ng trabaho para sa mga tinanggal.
