| KONSENSYA NG BAYAN, MAKIISA SA LABAN NG MGA MAGSASAKA SA NUEVA VIZCAYA!

TUTULAN ANG KONTRA-MAMAMAYANG ADYENDA NG PASISTANG ESTADO!

Nitong ika-13 ng Hunyo, ang ating kapwa Iskolar ng Bayan at USC Councilor-elect na si Angel Lopez ay nakaranas ng panghaharas at sapilitang interogasyon ng militar habang nagsasagawa ng community immersion sa Nueva Vizcaya. Kasama ang ilang boluntaryo, kinuhanan siya ng mga retrato at pinrofile ng mga awtoridad. Sa naturang interogasyon ay nakaranas siya ng panre-red-tag at pinaratangan siya ng mga gawa-gawang akusasyon. Higit pa rito ay walang pakundangang ginamit ang kanyang pamilya upang siya ay sapilitang “sumuko”.

Isa lamang ito sa maraming kaso ng paniniktik at panunupil na nararanasan ng mga kabataang pinipiling isabuhay ang husay at dangal sa diwa ng pag-oorganisa, pag-aaral, at paglubog sa hanay ng masang inaapi. Malinaw itong manipestasyon ng pasistang adyenda ng estado na naglalayong hadlangan ang lumalawak na pakikiisa ng mga mag-aaral sa pakikibaka ng mamamayan.

Sa kasalukuyan, kinahaharap ng Nueva Vizcaya ang lumalalang paglabag sa karapatan ng mga mamamayan at mga banta sa kalikasan dulot ng malawakang operasyon ng pagmimina. Mula noong Pebrero ngayong taon, marahas na binuwag ng mga kapulisan ang mga barikadang itinayo ng mga residente ng Dupax del Norte bilang pagtutol sa pagpasok at pagmimina ng Woggle Corporation, isang British-owned mining company, sa kanilang mga kabundukan. Kasabay nito, sunod-sunod ding naiulat ang mga insidente ng panghaharas sa mga mamamayan, kabilang ang pag-aresto sa anim na senior citizens na matagal nang naninirahan at nagsasaka sa kanilang mga lupain. Lumilitaw din ang panibagong banta ng paglawak ng operasyon ng iba pang mapaminsalang mining companies sa mga karatig-bayan, na nagdudulot ng pangamba sa patuloy na pagkasira ng kalikasan at paglabag sa karapatan ng mga lokal na komunidad.

Bilang mga Konsensya ng Bayan at mag-aaral ng agham panlipunan at pilosopiya, batid natin ang kahalagahan ng paglulunsad ng mga fieldwork at community immersion upang pag-aralan at ilantad ang tunay na kalagayan ng lipunan. Pinili ni Angel na lumahok sa community immersion sa Nueva Vizcaya para gamitin ang kanyang husay upang mapaglingkuran at maprotektahan ang masang inaagawan ng lupa at kabuhayan. Sa halip na tugunan ang mga lehitimong panawagan ng komunidad, pinili ng estado na sagutin ang kanilang mga hinaing sa pamamagitan ng militarisasyon, paniniktik, at sistematikong panunupil. Ang ganitong tugon ay hindi lamang banta sa mga residente ng Nueva Vizcaya kundi maging sa mga estudyante, mananaliksik, at mga organisador na nakikiisa sa kanilang pakikibaka.

Mariing kinukondena ng CSSP Student Council at ng mga organisasyon sa Kolehiyo ang walang habas na panghaharas, paniniktik, at pananakot na isinagawa ng militar laban kay Angel, sa mga mamamayan ng Nueva Vizcaya, at sa lahat ng mga lider-estudyanteng nakikiisa sa mga pakikibaka nila. Kaisa tayo ng mga komunidad ng Nueva Vizcaya sa kanilang makatarungang laban para sa lupa, kabuhayan, karapatan, at kalikasan, at mariin nating tinututulan ang anumang pagtatangkang patahimikin ang kanilang paglaban.

Dalawang buwan mula nang hindi makatarungang pinaslang ang mga kapwa natin Iskolar ng Bayan sa Negros 19, patuloy pa rin ang pamamasista ng estado sa mga kabataan at mamamayang lumalaban sa mapanupil na sistema. Higit lalong kinakailangan ang tatag at tapang ng mga Iskolar ng Bayan na lumabas mula sa apat na sulok ng silid-aralan para makipamuhay sa masang-api.

HANDS OFF ANGEL LOPEZ!
HANDS OFF FIELDWORKERS!
DEFEND NUEVA VIZCAYA!
MILITAR SA KANAYUNAN, PALAYASIN!

🚨 PHILIPPINE RED CROSS ACTIVATES EMERGENCY FUND CAMPAIGN FOR COMMUNITIES AFFECTED BY THE MAGNITUDE 7.8 EARTHQUAKE IN MINDANAO 🚨

A powerful magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck west of General Santos City on June 8, triggering tsunami warnings, evacuations, and disruptions across several parts of Mindanao.

Under the directives of the PRC Chairman and CEO Richard J. Gordon, the PRC Chapters have deployed personnel to conduct rapid assessments and provide immediate assistance to affected communities within the minutes of the earthquake. The RC143 volunteers have been mobilized, while ambulances have been dispatched in North Cotabato, South Cotabato, and Gingoog City to respond to emergency medical needs and monitor affected areas. PRC personnel also provided medical assistance to students who experienced hyperventilation following the strong ground shaking.

Health and Welfare Services teams are currently assessing hospitals and healthcare facilities, while chapter responders continue monitoring communities that may be affected by aftershocks, displacement, and possible tsunami impacts. To ensure readiness for further developments, PRC has placed emergency response assets on standby across Regions XI and XII, including six ambulances, three food trucks, four water tankers, two Volunteer Emergency Response Vehicles (VERVs), a rescue boat, a Humvee, and cargo vehicles ready for deployment.

"Our teams are already on the ground conducting assessments, providing emergency medical assistance, and coordinating with local authorities in affected areas. We are calling on the public and our partners to support the Philippine Red Cross Emergency Appeal so we can immediately provide relief, safe water, healthcare, and other critical assistance to communities that may be affected in the coming days," said PRC Secretary General Dr. Gwendolyn Pang.

PRC Chairman and CEO Richard J. Gordon emphasized the importance of swift humanitarian action, "When disasters strike, the speed of humanitarian response can make a significant difference for affected families. We appeal to the public, our donors, and partners to help us sustain these efforts and prepare for the needs that may arise in the coming days."

As assessments continue, the Philippine Red Cross is preparing to expand emergency medical services, relief distributions, safe water provision, psychosocial support, shelter assistance, and recovery interventions for affected communities.

The Philippine Red Cross remains on full alert and stands ready to scale up its response in coordination with local government units, national agencies, and humanitarian partners.

To support the emergency fund campaign, donations may be made through the following channels:

During the preparations for the KAPPrism: CSSP Career Talk, Dr. Zosimo E. Lee, former CSSP dean, was invited to talk to the current generation of Konsensiyas ng Bayan about the future that awaits them. Unfortunately, he was unable to attend the event due to his ailments, but that did not stop him from providing a message for the event, evoking conscience and reflexive insight about the path we ought to take moving forward.

The CSSP Student Council stands in grief with the College and the wider UP community in his passing. We express our sincerest condolences to his family, friends, colleagues, students, and loved ones.

Rest in peace, Dean Zosimo.

| HANDS OFF KATIPUNAN TERMINAL!

Pinapalayas ang ating mga Katipunan Jeepney Drivers sa kanilang terminal dahil sa gagawin na Urban Regreening Project and Park ng MMDA. Hindi sila kinonsulta o inabisuhan na deadline na sa kanilang pagpapaalis noong May 24-25 o mayroong konkretong plano ang naturang opisina kung saan sila ililipat kapag natapos ang proyektong ito.

Hindi makatao ang simpleng pagpapalayas sa ating mga tsuper! Lalo na sa matinding kinahaharap nilang krisis, dagdag-pasanin pa ang proyektong hindi naman inalerto ang mga maapektuhan dito. Pakinggan niyo ang kanilang hinaing! Panatilihin sila sa kanilang terminal!

Sumama sa Pulong Masa kasama ang mga drivers at operators ng Katipunan Balara at UP Campus bukas sa ganap ng 2:00 n.h. sa Katipunan Terminal.

Protektahan ang kabuhayan ng mga tsuper! Espasyo ng komunidad, depensahan! Hands Off Katipunan Terminal!

Sa laban ng tsuper, kasama ang komyuter!
