SIMULA NA NG #BAGONGUSC!

Iba’t ibang kulay – Ito ang angkop na paglalarawan sa mga salitang narinig natin nitong nakaraang mga araw. May kaaya-aya, ngunit mayroon ding hindi maganda sa pandinig. May mga pangako. May mga palusot. May mga panloloko’t panlilinlang. Subalit hindi tayo dapat magpalunod sa ingay. Hindi tayo dapat magparindi sa retorika.

Hindi tayo magpapalihis dahil alam natin kung saan tayo patungo. Sabay-sabay tayong nakatutok at gumagalaw papunta sa isang UP kung saan dinig ang kuwento ng bawat Iskolar sa gitna ng mga sigaw.

Hindi tayo magpapalihis dahil malinaw sa atin ang ating layunin. Sama-sama tayo sa pagbuo muli ng isang University Student Council kung saan inuuna ang paglilingkod na hindi naaantala – isang Konsehong binubuo ng mga kasaping may pagpapahalaga sa tungkulin sa kapwa mag-aaral at mamamayan.

Hindi tayo magpapalihis dahil may tiwala tayong hindi rin magpapalihis ang bawat mag-aaral ng UP. Taglay ng bawat Iskolar ng Bayan ang pag-iisip na ginagabayan ng pagiging matalino at kritikal, na siyang magtatakda sa ating pagdedesisyon sa eleksyon. Magkakasama tayo sa paniniwalang boto ang tugon natin sa ating mga narinig nitong nakaraang mga araw, maganda man o hindi.

Sa darating na Huwebes, ika-27 ng Pebrero, paparating na tayo. Sa araw ng eleksyon para sa University Student Council, paparating na ang pagbabago. Simula na ng BAGONG USC.

#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.
