Sulong UBC

Defend Our Future, Youth and Students!

As Marcos Jr. prepares his imperialism and ruling class-sanctioned SONA address, let’s confront the brutal reality his regime has inflicted upon the Philippines. The education system is a disaster, with the country ranking 77th out of 81 in PISA, and only 24% of students reaching basic reading proficiency. Economic hardships forced many of us to seek opportunities abroad, only to face exploitation and labour trafficking. In Canada, Filipino youth are trapped in scam colleges and low-wage jobs, victims of the Philippines’ labour export policy that values remittances over sustainable local jobs. We must rise against these oppressive policies, demand reforms that prioritise education, protect our rights, and end labour exploitation.

The PSONA, or People’s State of the Nation Address, is our platform to highlight the true voices and struggles of the Filipino people, countering the government’s false narrative. It is a day to amplify our demands and fight for genuine change. Let’s unite and fight for a future where Filipino youth can thrive back home. Kabataan, Kumilos Para Sa Kinabukasan! ✊

Sulong and Anakbayan BC, along with local BAYAN organizations, invite you to attend the 2024 People’s State of the Nation Address (PSONA) rally, here in metro Vancouver, featuring speeches, chants, cultural performances, and more. This year we echo the resounding call of Atin ang Pinas! US at China layas!

The 2024 State of the Nation Address (SONA), is being held this July by the US-Marcos regime to summarize its supposed “achievements”, and is a deceitful affront to the Filipino masses. To combat the president’s lies and misrepresentations, progressive Filipinos in the Philippines and across the diaspora are organizing the People’s State of the Nation Address (PSONA) to protest and expose Marcos Jr’s crimes against the people. At this critical time, let us reflect on the true national situation and the disturbing reality of what the Marcos-Duterte regime has done to the Filipino people.

In the last two years, the Marco II regime has accelerated poverty, food insecurity, and joblessness across the nation. This has pushed thousands of Filipinos abroad to support their families. However, Filipinos who have migrated to Canada have been met with exorbitantly high living costs and struggle to survive on the meager wages they earn. Instead of addressing this widespread poverty, Marcos has shown his priorities lie in pushing forward a Charter Change, that would directly open the Philippines to 100% foreign ownership.

Charter Change (Cha Cha) will also exacerbate the education crisis for young Filipinos. Cha Cha will leave the administration of education up to foreign ownership - leaving the future of our youth vulnerable to exploitation by foreign imperialists. Already under Sara Duterte’s leadership, only 24% of students reach basic reading proficiency (Programme for International Student Assessment, 2022), indicating that the country is lagging by five to six years in learning competencies. Filipino youth and students are already facing heightening tuition rates, insufficient public funding for education, and threats to academic freedom.

To Filipinos, anti-fascists, and progressives in so-called Vancouver: come support the People’s State of the Nation Address!

Sulong UBC will be tabling at the which will be taking place on Saturday, June 22nd from 8:30AM-9:00pm.

We will be tabling from around 9:00AM - 5:30PM so please stop by and learn about our organization and our ongoing campaigns!

This Filipino Heritage Month Sulong UBC celebrates our rich history of resistance and we ask that the youth of today carry that forward! 🇵🇭✊🏽

Today, Sulong UBC and other progressive organizations on campus will be holding a People’s Special General Meeting (PSGM) to address the reinstatement of staff access to the AMS Food Bank. The People’s SGM is a mass meeting of workers and students on campus where we can share our perspectives and cast our vote democratically.

Sulong UBC is an organization of Filipino youth who support international solidarity, national democracy, and the struggle for genuine change here in Canada and in our homeland. At this upcoming People’s SGM, we call on Filipino youth and students at UBC to vote YES to reinstating staff access to the AMS Food Bank and join the struggle for a dignified life for all.

Filipino youth and students in the diaspora connect the struggles of food insecurity impacting our kababayan at UBC to food insecurity caused by imperialism in the Philippines and in other semi-colonies around the world.

According to Ibon foundation (2023) there are 50.9 million moderately and severely food-insecure Filipinos, making the Philippines the most food insecure country in Southeast Asia. Neglect by the current Philippine government and its cronies keeps the Filipino people poor. The Marcos Jr. administration travels around the world with a huge entourage while ordinary Filipinos grapple with soaring food and fuel prices and low wages. Conditions in the Philippines directly force our kababayan to migrate overseas to countries like Canada.

But the same problems plague us here. According to Statistics Canada, Filipinos are the second most food insecure racialized community. In both the Philippines and in so-called Canada wages stagnate while food prices soar. We learned from campus workers that many of them bear the double burden of supporting themselves in Canada and sending remittances to their families in the Philippines and other countries around the world.

Genuine food sovereignty means the power of people and communities to assert and realize our right to food and to produce food. It is the power we exercise when fighting corporations and institutions that deny people equitable food access.

JOIN US FOR THE PEOPLE’S SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING‼️ ✊

Last week on Tues, June 4th the AMS held an ONLINE only Special General Meeting to vote on the motion to reinstate staff access to the AMS Food Bank. However the meeting didn’t proceed because quorum (623 students) was not reached before 10:30AM. Instead approx. 460 students showed up on zoom to raise their voice and concerns.

Sulong UBC alongside other progressive organizations on campus are calling to hold a PEOPLE’S SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING ✊ to show true democratic process for students and raise the concerns of workers impacted by AMS’s decision to cut off staff access to the food bank.

It is only through collective action and active participation we can shape the student union, our university, and a society that reflects the peoples true interests!

JOIN US ON TUES, JUNE 11TH 10AM AT THE LOWER NEST ATRIUM! OR HYBRID ON ZOOM (Zoom Registration Link in Bio).

STUDENTS AND WORKERS UNITE FOR FOOD JUSTICE!
UNITE FOR A GENUINELY DEMOCRATIC STUDENT UNION!

Yesterday - June 4 2024- the AMS Special General Meeting was scheduled for 10am. The meeting was called off however- because not enough students showed up to reach quorum. While we appreciate the efforts of the almost 460 people that came to support UBC service workers, we have strong reason to believe the AMS sabotaged the meeting. Purposefully or not, the AMS functionally blocked a democratic process called on by students.

The AMS blocked the SGM from happening by:

*FAILING TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT COMMUNICATION
Sulong UBC - despite being the main UBC campus org to call for the SGM (along with our progressive allies)- did not receive any active communication from the AMS. It seems, too, that many students were left out of the email notifying people about the meeting.

*FAILING TO GIVE TIMELY NOTICE
The AMS only gave 21 days notice of the SGM - announcing the June 4th meeting on their Instagram page on May 14th. We sent our petition signatures in early April- why did the AMS have to take nearly a month to verify them, holding the meeting in the summer when most students and faculty are off campus?
The AMS also failed to release the Zoom registration link at least 24 hours before the meeting.

*RELEASING A POST THAT PIT STUDENTS AND WORKERS AGAINST EACH OTHER

*ENCOURAGING STUDENTS TO VOTE “NO”

Even though we didn’t reach quorum, we are still fighting. We appreciate all that came out this morning, and the other campus organizations that have been with us in this campaign from the start.

Instead of an AMS SGM with its bureaucracy and antagonisms, we are planning a People’s Special General Meeting (People’s SGM) a week today. We need to show the AMS- and by extent, UBC- that WE are the student union. If the AMS does not represent the majority of students, we will find our own way to create true democracy.

PEOPLE’S SGM DETAILS:

Tuesday, June 11th 3-7pm
HYBRID EVENT- COME WHEN YOU CAN!
* AMS NEST LOWER ATRIUM (In-person drop-in)
* ONLINE ZOOM OPTION

On Resuming Peace Talks: Online Webinar with Nato Reyes and BAYAN Canada
December 15th, 2023 via Zoom
5pm PT | 7pm CT | 8pm ET

How can we continue the struggle for a just and lasting peace in the Philippines? 🕊️

On November 23th, 2023 the GRP and NDFP signed a joint statement expressing openness to resumption of peace talks. BAYAN Canada welcomes this development in the peace process as our organization has been calling for this resumption. It has been six years since the Duterte administration unilaterally terminated the peace negotiations in 2017 through Proclamation No. 360. However, it should be noted that this resumption is not just about the quelling of arms, but it should be addressed within the framework of the socio-economic and political basis of armed conflict.

BAYAN Canada stands firm in calls to abolish National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) and the Anti-Terror Law, which can detrimental to a principled and peaceful end to the conflict. These policies have resulted in red-tagging, arrests, and even killings of peace consultants and activists. We call on the GRP to uphold it’s commitment to human rights as outlined in Join Agreement on Safety and Immunity Guarantees (JASIG) and the Comprehensive Agreement on Respect for Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law (CARHRIHL). Additionally, we hope that through the peace negotiations, policies will be implemented such as CASER that will truly respond to the needs of the Filipino people.

JOIN BAYAN Canada and its chapter organizations for an online webinar and discussion: “On Resuming Peace Talks: Continue the struggle for a just and lasting peace in the Philippines!”
We will be discussing the current developments on the Peace Talks between Government Republic of the Philippines (GRP) and the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) in addressing the root causes of armed conflict in the Philippines.

We are launching a petition to call for an AMS Special General Meeting (SGM) to vote as a student body on a motion to reinstate staff access to the AMS Food Bank. UBC staff were cut off from the food bank in May after a decision by the AMS done without consulting groups engaged in food justice work on the ground on campus, and without consulting the student body. Many staff support families and work multiple jobs, are not paid living wages by UBC, and had come to rely on the food bank prior to being cut off unceremoniously. This decision is unconstitutional and unjust and sets a dangerous precedent for future AMS decisions involving access to student services. Workers and students will not be pitted against each other in our struggles with food insecurity and our fight for food justice!

Sign the petition (you must be a current student to sign), share and discuss with friends, give a class talk, or hand out flyers to spread the word. Come the SGM, we will need 600 students to show up on zoom or in person to vote YES on reinstating staff access to the food bank--keep an eye on our socials for a callout!

As a progressive group of Filipino youth and students we recognize that under neoliberal university institutions, students face the struggles of unaffordable tuition which is a symptom of the cost of living crisis under capitalism. Most students are workers struggling with multiple jobs and limited capacity to organize their workplaces. Yet, we see and recognize the strength of the working class students, who are at the forefront of building collective power against imperialism. We support the Undergrad Student Solidarity’s calls to a partial tuition refund to students whose education were disrupted during the strike, for SFU to commit to a cap on international student tuition fee hikes equal to domestic hikes, and a tuition freeze to ensure the wellbeing of financially precarious students.

Many migrants and international students have extensive experience and education and are overqualified for their programs and underpaid for their jobs. International students go to the same university, take the same amount of classes, yet their tuition costs are normally tripled compared to domestic students with no limit on the continuous increases. As Filipino youth, we see these local issues reflected as an extension of the conditions of our homeland. Working-class migrant international students carry the financial burden of sending money to family back home at the same time needing to sufficiently support their studies and their cost of living.

The students united will never be defeated! Abante estudyante, palaban militante!

Last Friday, November 17, was International Students’ Day. Sulong UBC urges youth and students in settler-colonial Canada to unite with us and realize our collective power! As a Filipino national democratic youth and student organization, we know that the youth have played an essential role in our history in fighting against oppression and exploitation and that The Students United Will Never Be Defeated!

It is more important than ever for youth and students to unite. Vancouver is one of the most expensive cities in the country and the cost of living crisis continues to worsen. International students are spending on living expenses and tuition, but are often limited to working 20 or less hours per week. Waitlists in student housing are in the triple digits. The current situation of international students is especially precarious since they also endure tuition costs at least double compared to domestic students, face vulnerable immigration status, labour exploitation due to restrictive work permits, deprofessionalization, devalued work and educational experience, and family separation.

Despite these hardships, the situation is no better in the Philippines -- the number of Filipino international students arriving in Canada in the past year has increased by 112%. The Philippine economy and education systems continue to decline, as the Philippine government continues its tradition of systematically exporting Filipinos to imperialist countries as a means of cheap labour and fodder for post-secondary institutions' profit via the Labour Export Policy (LEP), while refusing to create jobs in the Philippines. The Department of Education has also suffered under the 'leadership' of Vice-President Sara Duterte, who is also the Secretary of Education. During her tenure, state university and college and free tuition program budgets have been cut, while the government pours funds in to the Philippine Military Academy (PMA). Filipino Indigenous languages have been erased from the curriculum, there has been the push for mandatory ROTC to force students into the military, and state violence and red-tagging against students has intensified.
