Nagpahayag ng pakikiisa ang Unibersidad ng Pilipinas (UP) sa isasagawang mga kilos-protesta ng iba’t ibang grupo bilang panawagan laban sa malawakang korapsyon na lumalaganap sa bansa sa darating na Linggo, Nobyembre 30.

Sa isang pahayag na ibinahagi ng UP sa kanilang social media post nitong Biyernes, Nobyembre 28, mababasa ang panawagan ng kanilang institusyon para sa transparency, accountability, at justice.

“The University of the Philippines renews its call for transparency, accountability, and justice, and joins the Filipino people in lawful anti-corruption mobilizations on Bonifacio Day, Nov. 30,” panimula ng UP.

“UP itself is actively taking measures to enhance quality management and assurance systems, to effectively address key challenges in public infrastructure, strengthen accountability, and build institutional capacity. We encourage robust discussions within the community as part of our ongoing commitment to good governance,” saad pa nito. “This is our moment to advance genuine reforms.”

Sinusuportahan din daw ng UP ang karapatan ng komunidad upang ihayag ang kanilang “freedom of expression,” na  naaayon sa Konstitusyon.

“We stand behind our community’s constitutionally protected rights to free expression, peaceful assembly and association. We urge law enforcement authorities to uphold these fundamental rights,” anang UP.

“Together, let us drive systemic transformation, because the fight for a just and honest society cannot wait,” pagtatapos nito.
