AN OPEN LETTER TO OUR FELLOW UCIANS 💌📫

To all our fellow UCians,

You are not alone. The dream of a better university is one we all carry. We envision a future defined by expanded campuses, sufficient facilities, and systems that actually work for us, and not against us.

For nearly a decade, the Tuition and Other Fee Increase (TOFI) has moved in only one direction: upward. Still, the services we depend on continue to decline. We see the toll this takes clearly, from students pushing themselves to the breaking point to make ends meet, to parents working double shifts, all for an educational experience that feels stagnant.

We still carry the effects of an inefficient school calendar, inadequate student spaces, and limited learning resources on our backs. We still complain when we experience the slow wi-fi, the on-off elevators, and the push-pull from busy weeks to empty hours. These are not minor inconveniences, but real lived experiences that require change, not resilience nor indifference. Especially not when we pay thousands of pesos every year, again and again.

In the ongoing struggle for genuine, free, and high-quality education, we must stand together. We call for a 0% TOFI for the next school year. It is time that we demand transparency, democracy, and quality put over profit. Our education is not a commodity, it is our future.

Yours In Struggle,
Kalasag UC
