As stated in our previous statement, we at URS Angono Campus strongly condemn all forms of red-taggingโnot only against every URS student, but also against young individuals who continue to use their voices to fight for the welfare, rights, and interests of the greater community.
As the only campus offering a Journalism program, we, as students, refuse to remain silent in the face of injustice. We will continue to stand for truth, uphold accountability, and amplify the voices that deserve to be heard. Activism must never be equated with terrorism. Exercising oneโs right to speak, criticize, and demand accountability is never a crime.
We also call on the University Administration to do better and take immediate action in ensuring the safety, protection, and welfare of all students within the institution. Educational spaces must remain safe environments where students are free to express themselves without fear of intimidation, harassment, discrimination, or threats.

As Iskolar ng Bayan, we carry the social responsibility to speak out against injustices, call out wrongdoing, and stand firmly for truth, accountability, and the protection of every studentโs rights and freedoms.
We call on the University Administration to uphold academic freedom and ensure that our university remains a safe space for critical thinking, responsible discourse, and democratic expression. Now more than ever, we must stand united in defending studentsโ rights, protecting freedom of expression, and fostering an environment where every voice can be heard without fear.
