400 YEARS OF REPRESSION: A Discussion on the History of Repression and Resistance within UST
From its colonial roots to the present, the University of Santo Tomas has functioned not only as an educational institution, but also as a tightly controlled space where student expression and dissent have repeatedly been suppressed and trampled on. Thomasians have experienced recurring limits on democratic participation and freedom of expression, where questioning the status quo has often led to fascism in the form of regulation and punishment.
However, these cases are not isolated. The systematic repression within our campus is a direct reflection of a broader, state-backed system that seeks to strip the youth of their critical voice and force conformity to the status quo. Similar to what happens within UST: state fascism uses intimidation, red-tagging, and bureaucratic regulations to silence critics, criminalize dissent, and suppress progressive ideas.
As Thomasians, to uphold Compassion, Competence, and Commitment is to stand against these forms of repression. Under the current climate of fear imposed upon the students, we must struggle against the threats of fascism within our campus. And to resist against repression means breaking out of the four walls of the university, learning about society and engaging with the masses to fight for genuine change.
To learn is to dissent! Join our educational discussion on the history of repression and resistance within UST!
