Maraming Salamat, Iskolar para sa Bayan



Maraming salamat, Iskolar para sa Bayan, dahil Kasama Ka.

You have been with us for an entire year, when we sought honor and excellence in our student institutions. You have been with us, as we redefined leadership and service by being Iskolars para sa Bayan.

Now, the banners of blue, yellow, and red have been rolled up. The streets have gotten calmer. Another election has passed. This election, with every pin, every poster, and every statement, with every room-to-room campaign, every handshake, and every speech, ALYANSA sounded one common message: Lahat tayo, Iskolar Para sa Bayan.

In every classroom, every org, and every dorm we visited, this message resonated with each of our fellow UP students, our fellow Iskolars Para sa Bayan. Thanks to you, we have established our identity as scholars who live by the values of honor, excellence, leadership, and service. Thanks to you, ALYANSA will continue to bring these values into our next University Student Council. And thanks to you, it will be these values that will guide us as we face the coming year’s challenges within and beyond the University.

Through all the cheers and the jeers, the praise and the occasional criticism, the joy and the tears, you were with us as we gave our all for a better USC and a better UP. Now, as we are humbled by your trust and support, we pray that we will continue to work together in pursuing our hopes for the future.

To our opponents, we echo the call to unite our collective strength towards the vision of a better tomorrow. After all that has been said and done, we ask that you join us in bridging the divisions left by this electoral battle. Let us recognize that amidst our diversity, it is the good of our community and our nation that we would all give our lives for. With this understanding, let us make the coming year the best UP has yet to see.

Bughaw, pula, o dilaw, kasama ka sa paglilingkod tungo sa pagbabago.


Isko’t Iska, maraming, maraming salamat.

Lahat tayo, Iskolar Para sa Bayan.
