“We need to encourage our students to participate in the activities as part of their education.”

Ito ang naging pahayag ni University of the Philippines-Diliman Chancellor Michael Tan tungkol sa gagawing rally para sa ika-32nd anniversary ng EDSA People Power Revolution.

Aniya dapat na hikayatin natin ang mga kabataan na lumahok sa mga aktibidadis na tungkol sa kaganapan ng ating bansa.

Dagdag pa niya na kung maaari ay dapat excepted ang mga kabataang hindi makaka attend sa klase at dapat malinaw na hindi kalisa kung ito ay araw ng pagsusulit o kaya deadline ng reports.

“Whenever possible, please excuse students if they miss classes because of their participation in these activities, for which they should present proof of attendance. At the same time, it must be made clear that they cannot be excused for missing exams and deadlines for reports,” saad ni Tan.

Giit ni Tan, hindi dapat limitado ang dapat gawin ng mga kabataan. Lalo pa laganap na ngayon ang fake news at ang paglabag sa karapatang pantao sa Mindanao.

“I have participated in some of the activities and am disturbed, realizing that we live not only in an age of fake news but of silence, particularly in relation to human rights violations in Mindanao,” saad niya.

Sa paglilinaw rin ni Tan sa kanyang naunang pahayag, saad niya hindi ito panghihikayat kundi gusto lamang niyang makilahok ang mga kabataan sa mga crucial issues sa bansa, gaya na lamang ng isyu sa human rights, extra-judicial killings, constitution change at federalism, martial law in Mindanao, at ang crisis sa mass transport.

“People should go beyond protest actions and be able to propose concrete alternatives. That is what we are trying to do with a UP education.”

Paliwanag pa niya, “As we move toward commemorating the 32nd anniversary of the EDSA revolt, we recognize how troubling and uncertain the times are, marked by what the psychologist Leon Festinger called ‘cognitive dissonance.”

“Our young in particular are vexed by the sharp discrepancy between what we teach in schools about morality and democracy and by what they see in practice,” dagdag niya.
