STATEMENT OF THE ALUMNI OF THE UP DILIMAN UNIVERSITY STUDENT COUNCIL AGAINST THE BURIAL OF FERDINAND MARCOS IN THE LIBINGAN NG MGA BAYANI

We are the alumni of the University Student Council of the University of the Philippines – Diliman.

We are part of an institution with a history that has been defined and molded by the continuing struggle for freedom for the Filipino people.

In the dark times of the regime of the dictator, Ferdinand Marcos, the UPD USC, along with student organizations and publications, was abolished to quell the dissent of the youth against a repressive government.

Many student leaders, activists, and journalists were abducted, tortured, raped, and murdered under his authoritarian rule. Upon the restoration of the UPD USC, we continue to call for justice and accountability, especially during these times.

We, former student leaders of the UPD USC, express our strongest condemnation for the burial of the dictator in the resting place of heroes.

We stand agains
