Students against simultaneous price hikes!




... sa totoo lang, ngayon lang ako namulat na nangyayari pla talaga ang mga ganitong bagay,
like students protesting for their rights..

Well then, why not? let them hear our voices from our innocent lips yet courageous gestures. We are all part of this country and we are part of the affected community brought about by the simultaneous price hikes.

"skolar ng bayan, lumalaban
militanteng estudyante, magklase sa kalye"
That's what my former classmate who is studying right now at UPLB has texted me. It was during the day when students are rallying in mendiola and in anothar place,(i forgot where, sorry) and I got inspired by it because they are shouting out their voices to be heard despite the police officials who are stopping them. Their protests were about the tuition fee increase and another was about oil price hike. These students are right because the government must be doing some ways for the Filipino people not to suffer.

The tuition fee increase, not only in the state universities but with the private schools as well, are, i think, so much and not reasonable. That is because they should be considering that most of the population of the students are not that rich, kumbaga makaraos lang sa pag-aaral. Yes there are sholarships but you kow what? me myself as a scholar does not feel it.

Oil price hike is so hot today and just yeaterday was the strike of the jeepney drivers. The fare has really increased and that's another factor to be budgeted within our allowances. This issue that we are undergoing right now is one of the effects of the world crisis about oil. I know that these are what's being served for us right now and I know we can do something about it
