UP Diliman, December 15

These are the scenes I saw when I went to the UP Diliman campus last Friday hoping to watch the Lantern Parade. Instead, I witnessed one of the biggest student demonstrations in campus since the mid-90s.

My account of that day in my other blog site.

With rage in their hearts, the students marched around the Academic Oval denouncing the tuition hike.


The students who marched were estimated to be around 5,000...


Some came all the way from the Manila and Los Baños campuses...


They were angry, defiant...


In front of Quezon Hall, the students razed an effigy of UP Diliman Chancellor Cao and UP President Roman


UP Diliman Student Council Chairperson Paolo Alfonso...


Alfonso declared that the fight has just began...


They are ready to continuously march to the streets until the administration rescinds its decision to hike UP tuition.

The ralliers led by Karapatan marched from Plaza Miranda in Quiapo to Recto Avenue, nearly reaching Mendiola before being blocked by a phlanax of cops.


Former political prisoner Donato Continente joins the protest march. During the program in Plaza Miranda, he read a "poem" by one Teo Marasigan.


Doris Cuario (rightmost) of Karapatan in Southern Tagalog urges her fellow activists to stand their ground.
