General Appointment Deliberations for additional members into the College of Arts and Letters Student Council, UPD

31/08/2026

ARTISTA NG BAYAN, TULOY-TULOY ANG LABAN! ✊🏽

Ngayong Pambansang Araw ng mga Bayani, pinagpupugayan natin ang mga martir at rebolusyonaryong nag-alay ng dugo, pawis, at buhay upang lagutin ang tanikala na gumagapos sa ating inang bayan. Mula kay Rizal na lumikha ng panitikan hanggang kay Bonifacio na piniling tumangan ng armas, kinikilala ng Konseho ng Mag-aaral ng Kolehiyo ng Arte at Literatura ang iba’t ibang porma ng pakikibaka para sa sambayanan.

Kasalukuyan nating ipinagdiriwang ang Araw ng mga Bayani sapagkat ang mga tunay na bayani ng sambayanan— ang mga manggagawa at magsasakang kumakayod upang matamasa natin ang mga serbisyong pang-araw-araw at ang bigas na nagpapakain sa lahat ng pamilyang Pilipino— ay patuloy na lubog sa baha, nanganganib ang hanapbuhay, at patuloy na binabarat ang sahod. Sa panahon ng pagkakasalanta, mga huwad na flood control projects, at ngayon naman, ang Pax Silica na siyang kakamkam ng lupang sakahan at kabahayan, lalong nilulunod sa kahirapan ang mga bayaning patuloy na ipinaglalaban ang kapakanan ng mga mamamayang Pilipino. Ganito ba ang nararapat para sa mga tunay na bayani ng sambayanan?

Sa patuloy na pamamasista ng estado at panghihimasok ng mga imperyalistang puwersa, higit na buhay ang diwa ng militanteng pakikibaka. Hangga't nananatiling huwad ang kalayaan, patuloy na mag-aanak ang Kolehiyo ng Arte at Literatura ng mga lalaban para sa lupa, sahod, trabaho, edukasyon, at karapatan. Patuloy na bibitbitin ang mga kampanya na mula sa at tungo sa masa. Dahil ang sining ay hindi lang palamuti. Ang sining ay lagi’t laging malaya at mapagpalaya. 🎭🎨✍️

EDJOP Campus Conversations: A Youth-led Forum with the Filmmakers of EDJOP is an engaging opportunity to listen, ask questions, and join meaningful conversations with the people behind the film, sponsored by the UPD Department of English and Comparative Literature.

As part of EDJOP’s national campus tour, the forum brings the film’s stories closer to the youth and opens a space to reflect on the questions it leaves behind:

Ano ang papel ng kabataan sa panahong tulad nito?
Ano ang ibig sabihin ng paninindigan para sa kabataan ngayon?

Isang hapon ng kuwentuhan kasama ang mga gumawa ng pelikula.

Kuwentuhan tungkol kay Edjop. Tungkol sa pelikula. Tungkol sa bayan. At higit sa lahat, tungkol sa atin.

Walang script. Walang “tamang” sagot.

Kayo ang magtatanong. Kayo ang sasagot. Makikinig kami.

Safe and brave space ito. Come curious. Come ready to listen. Come ready to speak.

Sep 1, 2026 | 1:00 PM | IBG-KAL Theatre UP Diliman Campus

Free admission. Limited slots only

UPD students and educators may register here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfqzrOWUAgDTSrk90C9I16UqPMVvO67QbB2EmBzLJ2D4D6uAA/viewform?usp=publish-editor
