Title:
Student Protest at the RH Lobby
Date Created:
27/01/2017
Description:
The RH lobby as well as the RH steps in front of the UP Oblation bear witness to numerous student and faculty protests regarding relevant social issues that affect not only the University but the nation as well. The rise of student activism in UP began in the 1960s with UP students staging rallies against the US bases, parity rights, the US involvement in the Vietnam War and the Philippine government’s plan to send a Philippine civic action group to South Vietnam, and the perceived Americanization of UP, among others (Jose, Samson, and Sabio, 2011). The tradition of student activism has become a trademark of UP students since then. In recent years, student activists have used their collective voice in the fight against campus militarization, against extrajudicial killings, and for higher state subsidy for basic social services especially in the sectors of education and health. The student protest in the photo above, calling for free education for all, was held in January 2017.
