One decade ago, at a pivotal point in our history, ALYANSA was formed as a force for social transformation both from within and beyond the University. Today, as another turning point looms in the horizon, these ills are very much present, and the pessimism they breed is as strong as ever.
In achieving the daunting goals we have set for ourselves, we clearly have yet to succeed. Nonetheless, our journey thus far has not been in vain. In a decade, we have represented our fellow students with a brand of leadership that delivers, engages, and unifies.
It is with this hope from our past that we look towards our future.
In our future, ALYANSA sees a UP unified by leadership that walks with integrity, a testament to the principles our University was built upon and is capable of. We believe that our principles demonstrate our values, and leading with principles allows a community as diverse as ours to transcend our differences and work for common goals. Our same principles would enable us to chart our future, a future as boundless as our collective aspiration.
Through this leadership, made possible only by consultation and mutual respect for each student’s views and rights, ALYANSA calls for inclusion and engagement. Only through inclusion and engagement could we tap into our collective potential, and lead our University by the strength of our common endeavor.
We in ALYANSA commit to deliver a University Student Council that matters, and is relevant, to the students. We in ALYANSA commit to solve our problems with practical, commonsense solutions that work for us. We in ALYANSA commit to work for inclusion, seeing that our USC as the heritage of our struggle and the embodiment of our future.
We invite you to join us as we turn a new page in our University’s history, and as we aspire for something greater than ourselves. KASAMA KA sa ALYANSA. KASAMA KA sa USC.
