The conversation doesn't stop yet.

Last week, the Beyond Classrooms webinar opened critical discussions on how academic workers' unions are defending scholars, educators, and students against political interference, censorship, and repression across Southeast Asia.

Now we carry the momentum forward. For the upcoming session this June, "Collective Actions and Academic Freedom: Sharing Organizing and Mobilizing Experiences" brings together advocates from across the region to share good practices, strategies, and lessons in defending academic rights and democratic space in higher education.

The College of Arts and Sciences joins communities around the world in celebrating Pride Month, recognizing the diversity and richness of human experiences and reaffirming our commitment to fostering an inclusive, equitable, and supportive academic community for all.

As part of this celebration and in line with our continuing commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, the Department of Behavioral Sciences, through the Graduate Program in Health Policy Studies (Health Social Science), in partnership with the Office of the Gender Program of the College of Arts and Sciences, will co-host the online forum β€œThe Right to Care Act: Advancing Inclusive Health and Social Protection in the Philippines” this June (details will be announced soon).

The forum aims to provide a platform for meaningful discussions on the proposed Right to Care Act and its potential role in advancing the rights and welfare of LGBTQIA+ individuals and their families in the Philippines. Specifically, the discussion will examine how the proposed legislation seeks to uphold the right of individuals to designate their chosen caregivers and decision-makers, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or family structure, particularly in matters involving healthcare, medical decision-making, and access to social protection.

As LGBTQIA+ communities face persistent barriers to securing equitable healthcare, legal recognition, and supportive social systems, the forum will also explore the broader social, legal, and public health implications of the proposed measure. By bringing together scholars, advocates, policymakers, health professionals, and members of civil society, the event seeks to foster informed dialogue on inclusive care systems, human rights, and policy reforms that contribute to a more compassionate, inclusive, and equitable Philippine society.

Through this initiative, the College of Arts and Sciences reaffirms its support for evidence-based policymaking, social justice, and the promotion of human dignity for all, in the spirit of Pride Month and beyond.

The Political Science program clinched the top spot at the SocSci YAW 2026, held on April 24, 2026, at the UPM Theater, with their stirring performance, "Kasali, Kasapi, Kasosyo," which challenged students to fight against abusive systemic relationships in Filipino society.

The event, a major highlight of DSS Week 2026, showcased performances from various disciplines that tackled urgent social issues, encouraging student awareness and action.

"Kasali, Kasapi, Kasosyo" stood out for its intense portrayal of systemic issues, blending dramatic performance with critical commentary to expose the nuances of abusive relationships within society. The play, which earned high praise from the judges, serves as a powerful call for students to recognize, confront, and act against systemic injustices.
