Pola: sana before SONAKei: release infographic in preparation for SONAPola: meron tayong counter analysis sa actual na nangyari in the eyes of the college in comparison to Noynoy’s own evaluation of his administrationRaymond: we can release it before SONA.Arjay: prior to the SONA, we’ll build information campaiangs on the performance. We’ll have a mob on the SONA, we’ll have forums after. Then after, we’ll have the Score Card Forum.

Mikhail: yung problem sa SONA, kung ano ung highlighted parts and things that are laid out. I think maganda after kasi we can’t foresee yung magiging laman ng SONA. in the past, selective with every president. Kung i-structure natin ng very detailed.Kei: why not a pre-SONA and post-SONA assessment? Before SONA, we’ll have an initial assessment so we can pinpoint yung mga babanggitin niya. Then after.Mikhail: pwede natin aralin yung nakaraang SONA. Meron siyang mga hinihighlight like anti-corruption, tourism.Raymond: so we’ll have information campaign then infographics kasama na yung scorecard. we’ll have the SONA, tapos may post-assessment na may recommendations.Arjay: so may grading sheet na prior and after.Mikhail: pwedeng similar sa MVGsArjay: pwedeng Rappler ng peg.

(UJF- 8:35)c/o Mikhail Solitario

Ang unang kailangan ma-meet ng UJF team is yung AdCore at JPIA. Mamemeet na sila before matapos ang 1st week of May. JP will meet Adcore din. JPIA in coordination w/ Aaron. Whatever vision we’ll have, up to consideration of partner orgs.

(End: 8:40)

(CRAW- 8:40)c/o Mico Pangalanan

This Friday, April 25- consultation w/ UP PoliceArjay: Isama si Leo at si JPApproach me if you want me to deliver concerns to UP Police, concerns from your commsArjay: Ma-present dapat yung sistema ng UPDP, etc. Advanced registration for freshies dahil tumataas ang crimes sa estudyante. Key areas: Philcoa, Veterans, North Avenue

We want to have a study on the security of jeepney routes because it’s not limited to just UP. We will include Katipunan and Aurora.

June 28, Saturday- First USC Integration to know more about the communitiesArjay: Suggestion ko ay sa jeepney drivers, CRAW ang nagfacilitate ng elections nila. May part na fun-fun, bonding with drivers, tapos may dialogue din (elections, smoke belching concerns, etc.). Okay lang ba sa’yo na drivers? May iba ring groups of drivers—SM North, etc.

July 14 or 19- Community Integration, no specific communities because I want STRAW to collate data on the communities around us.

Arjay: Suggestion ko…may organized group (e.g. mga nanay, mga lesbian). So coordinate with the brgy kasi may list sila ng contacts ng mga organized groups

July 22-July 25 Teacher Isko Program; Joint project with the SLIS SC, project on going to communities for story telling, etc. I have yet to coordinate with Chen and SLISSC but we want to capitalize on the long break.

Spet. 7 and Nov 9- G na G for Gender Sensitivity, for communities.

Arjay: Isama sa sinet ni Jethro na community kemerut na may talk on DRMM, etc. Task mo ay ireserve yung community venue. Envi ang task ay mag invite ng speakers. Gender sa speaker ng gender sensitivity talk. SPOHFI sa logistics ng medical mission. Isang buong araw kasi pag hiwa-hiwalay, hassle. So CRAW na ang in-chare sa pag-ensure na may communities na magpaparticipate.

September 13/20- Good Governance Seminar in BrgysI also spoke to GG, Raymond, he wants to have a committee seminar on good governance so the LGUs can participate, legal part to know their rights. We set two dates September 13 or 20

Mikhail: May alam akong NGO na pwedeng ka-tie up-- Galing PookPola: Same ba ito as community seminar?Arjay: Hindi kasi LGUs yung target audienceArjay: Ano ba yung topics sa community fairJethro: DRMM, med mission, genderRoi: Medical mission yung main eventPola: Feeling ko logistically, kailangan yung mga brgy officialsJethro: Sobrang laki na niya. Kaya nagwowork yung DRMM, med mission. Pwedeng pagsamahin yung gender at good governance.Mikhail: Suggestion, spread na lang throughout the weekend of community fairKei: Kung one whole community event ito, since may med mission, dagdagan na lang natin ng legal deskPatreng: Kung gusto talaga natin ng community organizing, dapat long-term at wag ipagsiksikanArjay: Yeah, nakausap ko na yung CRAW at peops strug. CRAW sa UP communities, peops strug sa sectorsPatreng: Maganda kung yung contacts, balikan yung communitiesArjay: Ang naisip ko, pwede tayong mag-iwan ng contact information na pwede kontakin ng mga umattend. But if there’s more demand, we can schedule in the middle of the sem*Motion to extend: 10 minsJethro: Kung nakaset na dates for community seminars, pwede naman nating sabihin sa mga di nakapunta na pumunta kayo sa Dagohoy, etc. Arjay: Bago matapos yung May, yung mga contacts ifinalize na.Pola: Weekend—Envi, CRAW, SPOHFISpt 6 & 7, Nov. 8 & 9

December 17- Commi Fair (?)- Fair for entire community where performers from the community may have presentations in the fair. Is there a project similar to this in December?Arjay: Anong pinagkaiba nito sa community event natin sa September?Mico: The one in September is for seminars, this one is cultural. I’ll contact KyleArjay: Suggestion, after finals week, pre-ChristmasPatreng: Year-ender na lang since di naman lahat CatholicTin: Why not sa Tacloban? Dahil sa volunTOURismArjay: Kaso ang peg ng CRAW, community within UP Diliman. Ipasok na lang yan sa peops strug.

Dapat may session tayo on approval of budgets. Isipin natin na these are funds from the students so when we do our budgets, isipin dapat natin na wag magsayang. It’s important that as USC, we spend our money wisely.

Meron tayong one hour and 30 mins on August for proper orientation so invite natin yung local council finance officers. Kaya magcracrash sa LCC kasi dati sa Saturday sinet at konti lang pumunta. Nageeffort naman ang councils na pumunta sa LCC GA, for maximum participation. We will also have council hopping on a more intimate and personal level, kung may clarification sila, etc. Okay ang JPIA na makipartner dito.

Arjay: Dapat may session din sa ALC. Hindi required ang UFTRS, so papasok na ang role ng college reps, added effort to convince your local council na i-adopt itong sistema to ensure accountability sa funds na binibigay nila. Pola: There’s an ALC in August, September and OctoberJamie: August. Si Cheryl ang in charge sa pagcontact ng compsci orgs.

end- 9:53

Arjay: For Sec, ang immediate concern ay may mga members tayo na mawawala for months. Under the same house rules, madrodrop from the roll ang mga mawawala kasi ang mga reason nila ay di covered ng excuses sa house rules.

Kei: Since house rules naman siya, they gave permission/ prior notice beforehand. Since special ang circumstance this summer, siguro pwede nating bagsakan kung pwedeng bigyan ng allowance yung mga taong ito.

Arjay: Ang proposal ba ay since special case ang summer, mas lenient?

Pola: We can apply yung ginawa ni Reg na may calendar kung saan ilalagay ang schedules, pero semester basis.

Jethro: Ito yung time na preparation lang ginagawa natin supposedly, baka okay lang nakapagprepare na tayo. Pero pag regular sem, ito na yung time na kailangan umattend.

Arjay: Bago mag August, may mga events na mamimimiss if ever. Yung mga tao na may concerns na ganito, gumawa na lang ng letter.

Jethro: Ano bang nangyari kay Wes?

Aaron: Nagresign talaga

Raymond: I have an internship in Thailand from June to July

Kei: Kung may concerns na isang lingo mawawala, ilatag sa body. Di kasi tayo pwede mag generalize. Ito yung tipo ng mga bagay na kailangan tayong magdecide case to case.

Arjay: So, yung mga taong may issue this summer

Ryan: June-July ay internship ako sa London

Jethro: 28 to May 16 for field work

Tricia: Mawawala ako this Saturday to May 31. pupunta akong Canada at US kasi kasal ng cousin ko. Since napresent ko siya way before, sana may consideration.

Arjay: If we base it from last year kasi, isang buwan siyang nawala so nagfile siya for LOA. Ang LOA kasi, hindi part ng house rules. So siguro in these cases, since house rules naman ay body ang mag-aadopt, tayo ba magdedecide kung valid ang excuse or hindi. So magdecide na tayo in each case. Yung kay Ryan, pupunta siyang UK for a thesis.

Mikhail: Yung kay jethro at Ryan kasi, part yung ng curriculum.

Jethro: Yung kay Raymond, pwede namang i-reject eh. Imagine, tumakbo tayo sa USC alam nating ganito yung trabaho. Marami talaga tayong gagawin. Sa case kasi ni Raymond, pwede naman niyang ireject eh. Wala naman kasi siyang bearing sa academic standing. It’s more of self-growth. It depends kung ano yung priority niya.

Mico: What’s the point of removing someone from the rolls?

Arjay: Mawawala ka na talaga sa USC. Kailangan ng 2/3 vote para magstay sa USC.

AJ: Is this sort of a once in a lifetime kind of thing?

Kei: Ito yung point ng case to case. We have to look at the specific circumstances. Magbabakasyon ako sa Zamboanga ng isang buwan kasi gusto ko lang, magbabakasyon ako ng Zamboanga ng isang buwan dahil kailangan kong masamahan ang lolo kong malapit nang mamatay. Meron tayong general mandate and responsibility to our constituents. If one person is given a once in a lifetime opportunity na siya lang yung inallow na bigyan ng ganitong opportunity sa UK, sa Australia. Ibang kaso yun sa gusto lang niyang magbakasyon sa UK or Australia. Madaling sabihin na hindi ka pwede ma-excuse kasi hindi yan part ng curriculum mo pero what if you were given 2 months scholarship na offered sa’yo lang? Ibang kaso yun, different altogether. In a grand scheme of things, hindi siya part ng curriculum mo. Pero what if it can help you with your career, network na makakatulong sa trabaho mo. Yun yung gusto kong ilatag sa floor, na magdecide tayo ng case to case. Sino ang maiiwan niya, kaya ba niyang magfunction kung mawawala siya, if it is possible to give a remedy sa pagkawala niya. Ano bang mangyayari sa pagkawala niya, sa committee niya. Pwede naman natin siyang bigyan ng condition—online. Pero what if 2 weeks di niya nagawa trabaho niya online. Doon na tayo magdecide. That’s what we have to look for in case to case. Hindi siya one cookie cutter thing na we cut it based on that formula. What are the remedies we can have, if at the end of the day we can say sa sarili natin na rineject natin yun na that is the best decision we made.

Arjay: At the end of the day, botohan.

Pola: Valid yung point na sinabi ni Kei but at the same time, accountable din tayo sa students. We have to keep in mind the accountability we have to the student body.

Arjay: Kaya mahalaga yung letter na gagawin kasi ipapaliwanag yung dynamics. Ito yung plan ko to make up for it.

Tricia: Yung functions ko dito at sa college ko ay Sec at MMC. At this point in time, pasa-pasahan muna. Wala pa akong specific responsibilities sa Sec. Pero yung deliverables ko naman sa MMC, kaya namang gawin online.

Yung functions ko sa college, magpapadala na lang ako ng externals officer. Sasabihin niya na lang yung concerns ng college.

Arjay: For college reps, mahalaga na malaman ng USC ang sentiments ng local college niyo lalo na sa mga hindi ex-officio.

Kei: We can decide as a body for another mechanism—proxy system for reps. I actually agree with Arjay na hindi na tayo pwede magdecide ngayon. Pwedeng ngayon as a body, we also decide on certain rules we have to take—are we gonna allow proxies, case to case look on certain situations. Siguro ano yung pwedeng suggestion, are we open to these kinds of things.

Arjay: Yung issue sa paggawa ng guidelines regarding this, pwede maghold sa lahat except Tricia. Wala na tayong meeting para magtalk about her case kasi sa Sabado aalis si Tricia.

Kei: Siguro we should give the floor to her now, ano yung mechanisms.

Arjay: Pero for the others, prepare a letter addressed to Reg, bakit ka mawawala, mechanism para di mapabayaan yung committees, para may panggagalingan yung council. I just want this to be smooth, yung system natin ng pag-allow. Chill muna sa mga issue na nabanggit, let’s give the floor to Tricia.

Jethro: Sa Monday ako aalis

TriciaL Pupunta akong Canada on Saturday cuz on May 3, it’s my cousin’s wedding. It’s been planned since last year. Our family planned the trip, we’ll be there for a month. Magstastay kami sa bahay ng cousin ko, may internet doon, I’ll be bringing my laptop. Babalik ako May 31, so activities natin May 31 onwards makakapunta ako. Yung sa functions ko, since nakapagvote na kami sa council naming ng external officer, si Kat (???), so kung may concerns ang Eduk or USC, sa kanya ibribridge for the mean time. Ex officio ako so wala naman akong committee na hawak. Wala naman kaming activities sa May except FOP, registration. Pag dating naman sa sec, since wala ako sa GA, di ako makakapagrecord, yun yung isang function na di ko magagawa. Pag dating naman sa MMC, ang di ko magagawa ay umattend ng meetings, campaigns sa summer na wala ako. Ang ginagawa ko for MMC ay photoshop, layout, na nagagawa naman online at pinopost sa FBG. Sa Sec naman, taga-edit ng proceedings, minutes. Since ako yung taga gawa ng Blitz, mas madali yung Sec-MMC jobs ko. Makakapagdeliver pa naman ako since nandoon naman ako sa bahay for the most of my stay.

Kei: I would like to open the floor to Tricia’s committee heads

V: Basically on my part, USC Blitz ang pinaka assignment ni Tricia so even if she’s in Canada, kaya naman niyang gawin. Tricia is really very responsible so I;m confident na kahit nandoon siya, magagawa niya yun. When Kei was saying the case to case basis, bago tumakbo si Tricia, her family already scheduled. Once in a lifetime yung wedding ng cousin niya. She didn’t plan this before she won, for me that’s considerable.

Mikhail: I think since binanggit na ni Kei kanina na we have to study the circumstances, we can also look at how she has performed. Magagauge din naman natin credibility nila when they present their own plans. Malaking percent naman ng mga ginagawa ni Tricia, magagawa niya rin. Based sa track record din

*Decision: Excuse Tricia*

Jethro: Yung sa akin, fieldwork siya. Dapat 1st week of April nakaalis na kami pero nag-acad calendar shift. 3 weeks ako sa Palawan, di ako sure kung may internet doon. Sa fieldworks kasi ng geol hindi kami sa tourist spots, doon kami sa dulo ng sibilisasyon. So maaga pa lang, kakausapin ko na yung orgs, GAEA. At least sa 3 weeks na wala ako, alam nila yung gagawin ng USC, may balak sila sa semplans sila. Ang tumutulong talaga sakin ay ang mga brods at gusto talaga nila tumulong. Yung pagscoscout ng buildings, mga walang diagrams,

fire exits, etc. kaya siyang gawin kahit di ka expert at yun yung tasks na ibibigay ko sa kanila. Yung tasks na kailangan ng celphone signal, internet, di ko pa alam. Issue talaga yan. Pero yung mga task

Arjay: Mamimimiss mo ay labor rally, FOP, call center. Ano committees mo besides envi?

Jethro: CRAW, UJF, Fin

Mikhail: Keri yung UJF.

Mico: Planning for community seminars, mahalaga na I get to coordinate with you. We can do it beforehand . Or catch up when you get

fin: okRoi: concerns for preparation for the june 5 Mickhail: its important that the dynamics will be fixed by jethro for the june 5 eventArjay: pick a deputyJEthro: picks Baba as deputy while Jethro is out for field work

Arjya: ensure that baba will be informed by jethro re envi events. for the meantime, she will be the point person

*Decision: Jetrho is excused

Arjay: Ang peg ay yung mga gagawin niyong mutually exclusive from your council ang ireport. Paano mamaximize yung college rep sa USC perspective. So far kasi based on what you presented, campaigns-heavy siya so matatap mo naman yung committees to join.

Audrey: CSWCD Goes High School, Red Earth, AdVocs, TaLi (Tayo at Lipunan)- basic masses integration sa college; mas malapit pa yung mga estudyante beyond their academic requirements. Mas malaking proportion ng population naming ay graduate students.

Revive Kulektibo (?) Nagwork siya sa term ni Rex Manala. June-July: call for writers layout, artists, August yung coordination with Majoy from Kule. August to December is call for contributions.

CSWCDSC Library- hiwalay na library sa college library. May issue kasi yung grad students na nagsasara yung lib at 6PM so di nila naaaccess during their time yung materials. So balak namin sa SC ay may hiwalay pang library, printing services, etc.

Yun yung danger pag one month yung celebration eh, marami kang events na natatamaan.Pola: Ayusin na lang yung SeptmeberArjay: Suggestion, first 3 weeks magset ng events like Pink Dot, para makapagbuildup to other events. Medyo haggard siya based on experience. Pola: Ang nilagay ko lang ay first week, EDs na genderArjay: ADD Policy/campaign.

Masasabi nila kailangan nila and we can cite laws. Tolits: Nakalaan kasi ang summer for general consultation with NGOs. In line with those brgy gender talks.

CS Rep PresentationRyan Lintaostart- 11:07

Magkakaroon ako ng office besides na CSSC office. Projects ng CS Rep ay magfollow up ng national science complex student center kasi may mga org na walang tambayan.

Adhoc committee ng CSSC—Career Assitance Program for Scientists (CAPS). CS lang yung malaking college na walang CAP. Iniisip kasi na ang job opportunity lang after CS ay research which is not the case.

Arjay: This is a CS rep initiative?

Ryan: Yes, pero adhoc committee siya for venue reservations

Diffusion, both from the local council and the USC. And napansin kasi last year ay magaannounce ang local council pero di naiintegrate yung USC, so sa CS Rep dapat dadaan. May #Diffusion for twitter, bulletin boards, campaigns

Student handbook for CS Students- mga dapat malaman ng CS students regarding services offered by the council, offices in college of science. Nakausap ko yung local council at gusto nila (ng straw), na ilagay yung STRAW sa handbook. Open kami kung may gusting ipalagay ang USC. Per institute, at mapopost online

Org recognition- ang basis lang for best CS org ay kung gaano ka ka-frequent pumunta sa Cool GA (?). Gusto naming na yung projects ng mga orgs na ito ay marecognize di lang sa college, sa univ kundi pati sa comminuty.

GIST greater investment in science and technology- 0.1% ang investment ng Philippines sa S&T. Nakita ko na there should be a call na increase ang investment ng government sa research and development at di lang sa science and technology. Gagawa ng bills, ipapasa sa congress, campaigns, etc.

Organ Organizations Action for the Nation- involve the orgs, promote the projects, para magamit to address the issues of society. Halimbawa yung kakulangan ng information on GMOs.

State of Science Address- series of for a na titingnan doon yung situation ng science and technology sa Philippines kasi yun yung magiging foundation mo for greater investment in S&T. Makikita mo kasi na dito sa Philippines, there is a need to invest in S&T, wala tayong industries na talagang nagcacater sa ating mga Pilipino, hindi sa mga neo-colonizers

end- 11:15

Arjay: For issues about budget, like CSWCD, pwede natin siyang idagdag sa budget campaign period. Sa UP rin- dorm concerns, college concerns, etc.

CFAPatreng Nonstart- 11:16

Ang peg ko ay mas palawkin ang audience ng art ng CFA—ilabas sa college at univ.

Fine Arts Rights Talk (FART)- GA kung saan pupunta yung students admin, as a community kami kikilos, ilalabas ang kilos at interes ng college, para sa collective na pagkilos

Remodeling Sculpture- usually kasi walang prof, 203 lang nag eenrol, walang sariling facilities at classrooms. Tie up with STRAW.

Right to Tambayan- ang FA kasi never nagkaroon ng tambayan. May space naman pero di raw kaya ng budget so nahihirapan kami gumawa ng plates. Nagtry kaming makipag partner sa Glob pero di sila gumogo kasi nakikita nilang maliit yung college namin.

Arjay: Alamin niyo magkano yung kailangan para magkaroon ng tambayan. Alamin ang itinerary, mga kailangan ng orgs in a tambayan

Patreng: Kung kailangan naman makipag dialogue

BMI, BMX: Ang art ay hindi art for art’s sake. Di lang dalhin ang art sa gallery and museums. Makipagintergrate sa mga manggagawa, art lessons, photo walks, para Makita talaga yung social issues.

Legal Rice- may café kami dati pero biglang nawala. Tapos yung dating MBB/archaeo, doon lagi bumibili at nahihirapan kami lalo na’t wala nang upuan. May initiative ang college naming na magphotoshoot na kumakain sa sahig. In partnership with STRAW and BSS.

Dahil ilalabas ang FA within our college, makiki partern tayo sa events ng USC, for road painting, props, events, like yung props sa Pork Barrel rally, wings ng Pride Week. So kung kailangan niyo ng pa-tattoo, face paint, contact niyo lang yung FA.

Yung FA, isa sa mga naunang colleges na na-establish, ginawa para iadvertise ang mga US products at ayaw na naming yun. Gusto naming ng sining na mulat, sining na nakikibaka. Irerelate ko yung events ng local, at irerelate ko ang events natin sa local

End- 11:25

LawRep. Kei Garcia11:25

Consult, Connect and Coordinate

Consult- alam talaga yung concerns ng Law students. Ang mandate kasi ng Law Rep sa constitution ay liaison officer, hindi ex-officio though may voting power. Hindi effective na liaison officer kung di ko alam yung concerns talaga. Projects with consultation, direct and indirect, feedback box. Yung una, para sa mas malawakang survey, yung feedback box gives anonymity kasi maraming mga hanash ng mga tao, they’re opinionated with a lot verbose opinions in life but a lot of the time, ayaw magkaroon ng repercussion in terms of their academic concerns. Maeensure sa feedback box yung anonymity

Coordinate- paano macocoordinate ang ginagawa ng USC sa ginagawa ng Law. Isa sa mga main na nabring up sa LSG plansem ay di talaga nararamdaman ang USC. Hindi issue ng LSG ang relevance because Law students find the relevance in the LSG, but not the USC so we have to ensure that we are very very relevant. Actually yung project ko, like yung Law Reps Bulletin, Reps report, in line naman with the MMC plans.

Freshies orientation—usually wala namang relevance sa freshies ng Law. Noong brining up ko na kung gusto niyo ng USC help, parang ayaw nila. So brining up ko last time nab aka pwede magkaroon ng tour. I have blocmates that don’t know how to go to SC, FA. Hindi sila marunong maglakad around UP, because half of the students that enter Law are not from UP—Ateneo, UST, etc. So what if we make these events relevant to the Law students.

Open up partnerships like yung project ni Carl on Bangsamoro, FOI/FYI.

Connect- CLAUSE, LAE Review, Bar Ops, Wanted Law Student (being a college of law student open up a lot of opportunities. Mahirap magpapasok ng tao sa Law kasi intimidating, mahirap din lumabas because everyday is a struggle. So if there’s one thing na makakapag-enganyo sa mga tao, it’s career opportunities in the future. Maraming alliances, institutions that are open to students from Law).

College of Law situationer: 2 main issues—1) Manininda issue- hindi naman sila pinapaalis. Ang mga manininda kasi sa Law, may certail level of autonomy because the students love them. They want to be able to cook like the other manininda, pancit canton, etc. Ang ginagawa kasi nila, cooked meal na so malamig na. Ang problema, di sila pinapayagan ng Admin kasi may contract yung admin naming with Chikaroo, bawal magluto ang any other concessionaire other than them. The thing is, the contract was did without proper bidding. Wasn’t open to public bidding, due process, etc. 2) 5,000 reservation fee issue- for the past 2 years, nangongolekta yung admin ng 5000 pesos from freshmen, refundable lang pag pumasok ka na. The things is, hindi pa narerefund yung 5,000 reservation fee ng mga freshmen, yung iba nga hindi pa freshmen. Nag dialogue ang OVCSA with LSG. Sabin g OVCSA, dapat dinaan ito sa BCO. Wala ngang memo eh. Pero, sabi rin ng OVCSA, usually pag idadaan ito sa Chancellor, ang gagawin ng chancellor ay ibabalik ito sa college. Kakabalik lang ng dean from a trip to another country. Sinabi niya na ibabalik natin yan at one point in time, pero kailangan ng ng formal letter na panghahawakan. The problem is the law admin, being lawyers themselves, know how to go through a lot of things. Magaling silang magsabi na we’re going to go through with this pero walang follow through. Kung meron, minimal compliance lang. After the dialogue of the dean, what’s next?

Arjay: Nabring up na rin to ni JP Rotap at ang usapan, sundan lang ang LSG. Baka magblow out of proportion kasi ito kung isama sa USC. Iba na ang Chancellor, iba na ang OVCSA so sana maka larga by May. Kahit USC na lang sa OVCSA at chancellor

Pola: Manifestation: 3 faces ang profs—rule makers, lawyers and our professors. Precarious ang situation ng LSG kasi sila yung nirerecognize nila as student representatives at sila pa ang vanguard ng students. So ang role ng LSG ay mag-establish ng balance sa Law school.

Kei: The thing is, this is what we’re dealing with in the College of Law kasi di nga nila rinerecognize yung USC, LSG lang.

Arjay: This is really about establishing na the Law admin is under them (the UP admin)

Kei: That’s why I’m eager with the legal instrument. Kung ano yung level ng pagcicircumsribe nila doon, malaki. So important talaga yung legal instrument.

Sa May 1 ay may program tayo na organized by All UP Worker’s Union. So naisip ko na sana magkaroon ng DG. Tutulong tayo gumawa ng banners for calls for the mob. Sa banners, gusto ko sana na 125 ang ilagay kasi yun yung hinihingi na sahod ng workers. Friday, 4PM onwards. Pwede ring isama sa RTR ang pag-imbita sa students to come. Ang magfifinance ng materials ay silang lahat, manpower lang ang kailangan. Yung calls na sinabi kanina, hindi nagbago ang sistema.
