    When in the course of class history, it becomes necessary for the students to cut off ties with the school. We hold the truth to be self-evident that all students are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator by unalienable rights, that among them are the pursuit of good grades, fairness, and happiness. Students allow themselves to be ruled by the teachers in order to protect their rights. The office is created to protect these rights instead of taking them away from the students. When the rights are being taken away from the students, we have the right to break away and form a new government. The tyrant of Room 25 have broken the social contract by making unfair rules, stopping us from learning, and rushing the due date for homework. The tyrant of Room 25 is corrupt and too strict.

    When in the course of student events, the school has taken away some of our natural rights as scholars. The school has taken our right of dressing how we please. The security guards treat do not treat us with kindness. They are feared by my fellow students who are too afraid to speak up against such cruelty.

    Here in UP, we often see students fight and protest for a higher budget for education from the government because this would directly affect every single one of us iskos and iskas. A part of the annual education budget of the country is meant to subsidize our UP tuition. The relatively low tuition fee here in UP is due to the fact that our government pays for some chunk of our supposed tuition; therefore what we have to pay for ourselves is a lower fee.

The money of the government comes from the Filipino people, our countrymen, so we owe our education to them. Their money is used to allow us to study here, therefore we are their scholars; we are scholars of our countrymen and of our country, hence the term “iskolars ng bayan”.…
