I. RATIONALE
The University of the Philippines is unique from other universities in our country;
unlike other universities who are separated from the community, UP is actually
integrated to its community. It is a proof of the university’s public image, that it
does not separate itself from the community or the nation. The community within
the university is an important factor to what UP is; for the everyday journey of
every Iskolar ng Bayan towards the road of excellence, there is Manong Ikot
driver to take him to his next class; of course, there is also Manang Manininda,
who provides the Iskolar ng Bayan cheap and accessible meals every day. It is
undeniably true that you cannot do away and separate UP from its community.
In the academe it always taught to us that we must always be one with the
masses; because trough them, we are putting into practice all the theories that
we have learned within the four-walls of the classroom. We can never be
considered academically excellent if we do not give out ourselves to the
community who provided for our education through their taxes.
The UP community, like any other community within the country, is currently
facing so many issues. Except for the National issues that the community and the
rest of the people are facing; like the increase of price in basic good due to the
increase of the price of Oil, there are other forms of repression that the UP
community faces; there is the admin’s plan that to build a Monorail within the
university which threatens the livelihood of the UP drivers; not only are they
facing high prices but they are also facing the threat of losing their livelihood.
Moreover, the maninindas are slowly being ejected from the university to be

These are only some of the pressing issues that the UP community faces, and as
Iskolars ng Bayan we must take charge in acting and addressing these pressing
issues; for it is threatening the democratic rights of the people within the UP
community. Most especially as student-leaders, we have a greater role of
mobilizing the studentry into fighting the cause of the community; it is within the
USC constitution that we must always unite with the community and that we
should always fight for their interest. Because of this, it is important that the USC
should have a committee that will address the rights of the community and be
able to bridge the community from the university. The Community Rights and
Welfare Committee plays an important role in achieving unity within the
studentry and the different sectors of the community in the continuous struggle
for democratic rights; for it is important that the UP students don’t limit
themselves on student’s issues only, but rather, directly act on issue of other
sectors within the university and the country. It is time to act! Serve the
community! Serve the people!
