#BagongUSC, Bagong Kuwento ng Paglilingkod!


I am a UP student. I wasn't able to get the STFAP bracket that I needed, but someone told me that my dreams didn't end there and that we could still do something about it.

I am a UP student. I'm gay and I was afraid to come out, but someone convinced me to live free and that I am safe in the University.

I am a UP student. I'm part of a fraternity, but someone made me realize that we are part of the solution in ending the culture of violence in our circles.

I am a UP student. My dorm has problems I thought I'd just have to live with, but someone reached out and said we’d work on them together.

I am a UP student. I used to believe that grades were everything, but someone showed me that there are lessons still to be learned beyond the classroom.

We are UP students, each with a different story to tell, but united in a shared narrative of trials and triumphs. In getting through our struggles, there will always be those with whom we share our fears, our hopes, and our dreams.

Imagine a University Student Council composed of fellow students which, far from being a passive fixture, becomes an active partner in our unfolding journeys; one that measures its relevance not simply by projects and programs, but also by the difference that it makes in the story of the Iskolar and the Filipino.

Envision an institution of student leaders which recognizes that contexts and ideas are in constant flux, and responds to them not by insisting on outdated lenses, but by being open to all perspectives for progressive change; one that does not rely on archaic modes of action, but instead adopts solutions as dynamic as the challenges themselves. While we recognize that the only thing constant is change, we see that beyond this, what is truly constant are our principles within these changes.

This is our University Student Council – a USC with a new story of leadership and service that embodies engagement, relevance, and innovation; a USC that takes the experiences of each student and weaves them into the collective epic of the National University and society.

Kaya nating bumuo ng bagong USC. Simulan na natin ang bagong kuwento ng paglilingkod.
