April 2010: Lester Pascua, an alumnus and a former Vice-Chairperson for Publicity and Publications of ALYANSA was attacked by masked men using lead pipes in Katipunan.
March 12, 2011: Carlo Tañada, UP ALYANSA's 2007 College of Human Kinetics Representative to the USC candidate and founding member of the Forging Leadership and Excellence in CHK (FLEx CHK), was also attacked in a very similar manner as Lester's.
Should there be more?
March 17, 2011: This question was answered affirmatively as two groups of men engaged into a brawl, leaving AS Parking another bloody area of brutality. No details have been released yet but it appears that this is another case of fraternity-related violence. Despite having these on- and near-campus skirmishes, ALYANSA reiterates that violence has no place in an institution of higher education, education that is geared towards service to the people.
ALYANSA has always been at the forefront of leading the fight against fraternity-related violence. We remain committed in continuing our campaign against this barbaric behavior that is unforgivable for civilized human beings.
We call on the members of Greek-letter organizations to turn from such acts of aggression, and to be one with the students in sincerely condemning all forms of violence. To our fellow Iskolar para sa Bayan, it's time we end this culture of sadism. Join us in this battle of condemning acts of violence by being part of SAWA (Student-led Anti Fraternity Violence Watch Alliance).
Iskolar Para Sa Bayan, tutulan ang karahasan!
Hindi ito sukatan ng kadakilaan, katapangan, at kapatiran!
KASAMA KA sa patuloy na paghangad at pagkamit ng katarungan!
