LOOK | The PUP Santa Rosa Campus Student Council (PUP-SRC SC) attended the consultation meeting on CHED Memorandum 117, s. 2026, more commonly known as the policy on 100% online classes for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).

The consultation meeting critically examined the provisions of the said memorandum by grounding the discussion in the lived realities of every Iskolar ng Bayan across the system, identifying both its strengths and existing gaps.

During the meeting, an open forum was conducted to surface the current conditions faced by students—particularly the persistent lack of genuine support and readiness for education amid the rising heat index and the ongoing transportation crisis brought about by continuous oil price hikes.

Insights and collective positions gathered from the consultation will be consolidated and forwarded to the concerned offices and relevant stakeholders, as part of a broader effort to push for policies that are genuinely responsive, inclusive, and grounded in the material conditions of every Iskolar ng Bayan.

| In line with the scheduled PUPCET on April 18, 2026, all classes will temporarily shift to asynchronous mode on April 17 to 18, 2026, as announced by the Office of the Campus Director.

All students are advised to coordinate with their respective instructors and manage their academic requirements accordingly. Please be guided.

Your 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 mean so much during this difficult time. Thank you for being a source of hope.

MAY KAGITINGAN SA BUHAY NG ORDINARYONG MAMAMAYANG PILIPINO!

Sa paggunita ng Araw ng Kagitingan ngayon, hindi ito simpleng paggunita lamang. Isa itong matinding paalala sa gitna ng krisis na araw-araw dinaranas ng bawat Pilipino. Sa patuloy na pagtaas ng presyo, mababang sahod, pahirap na buwis, at mga patakarang lalo lamang nagpapabigat sa buhay, malinaw kung sino ang tunay na nagsasakripisyo.

Hindi ang mga nasa kapangyarihan, kundi ang manggagawang halos maubos na sa kakakayod, ang estudyanteng lumalaban para sa maayos na sistema ng edukasyon, at ang pamilyang pilit na pinagkakasya ang kulang na kita. Sa kabila nito, patuloy na binabalewala ang hinaing ng mamamayan habang sinisikil ang karapatan at pinapatahimik ang mga tumitindig.

Kasabay nito, hindi maaaring ipikit ang mata sa patuloy na dahas at panghihimasok ng US Imperialist sa iba’t ibang panig ng mundo. Ang mga digmaang inilulunsad nito ay hindi lamang sumisira sa mga bansang patuloy na binobomba, kundi may direktang epekto rin sa mga mamamayang Pilipino sa anyo ng lalong pagtaas ng presyo, impluwensya sa mga patakarang panlabas, at pagpapatuloy ng hindi pantay na ugnayan.

Ang kagitingan ngayon ay hindi lamang alaala ng nakaraan. Totoong magiting ang ordinaryong Pilipino dahil sa kabila ng pamamasista ng estado, panggigipit sa hanapbuhay, at pagpapapasakit sa buhay ng taumbayan, patuloy itong bumabangon. Ngunit hindi sapat na palaging nagtitiis ang masang api habang lalo lamang tumitindi ang pang-aapi.

Habang patuloy ang panggigipit, lalo ring tumitindi ang panawagan para sa tunay na pagbabago. Hindi matitigil ang tinig ng mamamayan hangga’t nananatili ang inhustisya.

Unity Statement of PUP System Student Councils on the Ongoing Repression Against the Youth

The Black Saturday marks two months since the DOJ declared as “deemed submitted for resolution” the fabricated sedition cases by the PNP-CIDG against PUP student leaders Tiffany Brillante, Jacob Baluyot, and other youth activists over the Sept. 21 anti-corruption rally. A decision should have come within 60 days of their Feb. 4 hearing, but the Marcos Jr. regime remains silent—leaving their future uncertain.

While Filipinos suffer from rising oil and goods prices, low wages, joblessness, and debt, the regime ignores the roots of the crisis. Instead, it silences dissent—especially among the youth. The cases against Tiffany and Jacob aim to intimidate young people who speak truth to power. Fabricated cases move fast, even with no evidence: the recent arrest of Charlize “Ceeka” Garzon shows another young voice targeted. Meanwhile, corrupt officials walk free. The regime wants to erase resistance, but it cannot kill the youth’s spirit.

We oppose fabricated cases against the youth. Criticism is not a crime. Truth is not sedition. For every subpoena, arrest, and false case—we resist. The red-tagging and repression are part of a fascist strategy to crush dissent. But each arrest awakens more youth; each fake case strengthens our fight.

We call on the entire PUP community—students, teachers, staff, officials—to stand with Tiffany and Jacob. Neutrality in a crisis is complicity. PUP cannot stay silent while its Iskolars ng Bayan are targeted.

DROP ALL TRUMPED-UP CHARGES AGAINST THE YOUTH!
HANDS OFF TIFFANY BRILLANTE!
HANDS OFF JACOB BALUYOT!
RELEASE CHARLIZE “CEEKA” GARZON!
