UP ALYANSA has been receiving tweets from members of Congress (Senate and House of Representatives) since the Iskolars para sa Bayan intensified its "Increase the UP Budget, Invest in Education" campaign. The following are their tweets on our Twitter account, @upalyansa.

San Juan City Rep. JV Ejercito (@jvejercito):
@upalyansa @jeffcrisostomo @jctejano Salamat din sa pagdalo, malaking bagay ito upang maintindihan ng aking mga kasama and estado ng SUCS.
@upalyansa It is my belief that the human resource is our most precious resource, therefore education should be given highest priority.
