Sa darating na linggo, mawawalanng pasok sa pamantasan. Mulitayong tinatawagang manindigan

at hamunin ang nasa kapangyarihan.Matapos harapin ng UP ang

mahigit isang bilyong pisong kaltassa badyet noong nakaraang taon ang pinakamalaking pagkaltassa kasaysayan ng pamantasan walang patumanggang inulit ngpamahalaan ang pagbawas. Sasusunod na taon, aabot ng P800milyon ang kabuuang kaltas sapondo ng pamantasan.

Sa susunod na taon,tatapyasan rin ng mahigit P146milyon ang pondo ng halos kalahating 112 pampublikong pamantasansa bansa. Mahigit P250 milyon

naman ang panukalang kaltas samaintenance and other operatingexpenses ng 45 pampublikongpamantasan, samantalang P403milyon naman ang ibabawassa pondong laan para sa sahodng mga kawani.

Hindi naman nanahimik angkabataan sa banta ng kapahamakan.Kung gaano kaaga ipinasang Department o Budgetand Management (DBM)ang panukalang badyetng bansa para sasusunod na taon, gayonrin kaagap na binatikosat tinutulan ng kabataan ang

mga balak na pagbawas.Ngunit walang ibang

isinalubong ang pamahalaan kunghindi panlilinlang. Sa pahayag niDBM Secretary Florencio Abadsa Collegian, ipinaliwanag niyangkathang-isip lamang umano angsinasabing mga pagbawas. Sahalip, nadagdagan pa umano angpanukalang badyet para sa mgapampublikong pamantasan nghumigit-kumulang 10 porsyentotungong P26.1 bilyon sa susunodna taon mula P23.7 bilyon sakasalukuyan. Sa pagtaya ngkabuuang badyet para sa mga

pampublikong pamantasan, isinama

tayong tinatawag upang saglit naiwanan ang ating mga pang-araw-araw na gawain at magdaos ng isangmalawakang kilos-protestang mulingyayanig sa mga kinauukulan.

May sapat na dahilan upangsuwayin ang kasalukuyang kaayusan.May bigat ang pagtalikod natin saating nakasanayanang pagpasoksa klaseupang patunayanghanda tayong lumaban para saating karapatan.

May kakayahan tayong tumugonsa pangangailangan ng atingpanahon. Napatunayan na ng atingpagdaos ng strike noong nakaraangtaon kung gaano nakapangyayariang sama-samang paninindiganng libu-libong mag-aaral nanananawagan para sa mas mataas nasubsidyo para sa mga pampublikongpamantasan. Noong nakaraangtaon, una nating hinalaw mula sapraktika ng mga manggagawaang pagwewelga o strikeangtigil-paggawa na idinaraos ng mgamanggagawa tuwing sinisikil angkanilang batayang karapatan.

Muli tayong tinatawagan upang

kumatha ng panibagong pahina ngkasaysayan. Muli tayong lalabasng mga silid-aralan, bubuhos samga lansangan, at magpapayanigng mga bulwagan ng mga nasakapangyarihan. Walang puwangang hindi pakikisangkot. Walangoras para sa pagkikibit-balikat.

Sa mga susunod na araw, itoang pangunahing hamon sa bawatiskolar ng bayan: tangan angdunong ng nakaraan, muli natinghawiin ang tabing ng panlilinlang atbuong pagpupunyaging lumaban.Mawawalan ng pasok sapagkatpahihintuin natin ang mga klasehanggang hindi tayo pinakikinggan,hanggang hindi sapat ang pondopara sa atin ng pamahalaan.

Matapos aprubahan ang pagtaas ngpamasahe sa Light Rail Transit (LRT)at Metro Rail Transit (MRT), umani ngbatikos si Pangulong Benigno AquinoIII at ang kanyang gabinete mula samga grupong nagsasabing sapat naang kasalukuyang singil sa mga trenupang maitaguyod ang operasyon nito.

Sinasagot ng gobyerno ang mayP45 agwat sa P15 na pamasahe mulasa P65 na tunay na halaga ng pagsakaysa MRT at LRT ng bawat pasahero,ani Aquino sa kanyang pahayag samedia noong Setyembre 7 sa NegrosOccidental.

Ngunit ang karagdagangsingil na sinasalo ng gobyerno aypantustos lamang sa kita ng mgapribadong kumpanyang katuwangsa pagpapatakbo ng mga tren, aniSammy Malunes, tagapagsalita ng

The mothers o missing UP studentsKaren Empeo and Sherlyn Cadapandeended the credibility o eyewitnessaccounts that linked Retired MajorGeneral Jovito Palparans security aideto the abduction o their daughters in2006.

Concepcion Empeo and ErlindaCadapan led a reply adavit duringthe Department o Justice (DOJ)preliminary hearing on September7 to answer Army Sergeant StafEdgardo Osorios counter-adavitin which he denied involvement in thealleged abduction.

Osorio and his counsel, however,ailed to appear in the said hearing.

In the reply adavit, the motherso the missing UP students explainedthat there was a compelling reasonor witnesses Wilredo Ramos andAlredo Ramirez to single out Osorioand include him in the list o accused

Kung susuriin ang kalahatingmilyong populasyon ng mga pasaherosa LRT at MRT, 81 bahagdan nitoang manggagawa, samantalang 15bahagdan naman ang mga estudyante,ayon sa datos ng Riles Network. Angnatitirang apat na bahagdan ay mgawalang trabaho na ginagamit ang LRTat MRT sa pamimili at iba pang gawain.

Ayon sa isang pag-aaral naisinagawa ng Japan Bank orInternational Corporation, halos 68bahagdan din sa mga pasahero angmababa pa sa P10,000 ang kinikitakada buwan.

Lalong titindi ang problema satrapiko sa EDSA sakaling mapatupad

ang pagtataas ng pamasahe, aniMalunes. Mababawasan ang mgapasahero sa MRT at LRT at lilipat nalamang sila sa iba pang sasakyangpampubliko gaya ng jeep at bus, aniMalunes.

members o the Armed Forces o thePhilippines (AFP).

In his counter adavit,respondent [Osorio] made a generaldenial o our accusations, whichcannot prevail over our and ourwitness positive and categoricalstatements, the reply adavit read.

Ramos was the son o the ownero the house in Hagonoy, Bulacanwhere Karen, Sherlyn and armerManuel Merio were abducted onJune 26, 2006. Ramos recognized andpositively identied Osorio when thearmy sergeant served as Palparanssecurity detail during the DOJ hearingon July 19.

Based on Ramos account, Osoriowas one o the armed men who tookKaren, She and Merio rom theirhouse more than ve years ago.

Osorio, Palparan and several othermilitary ocials including lieutenantcolonels Rogelio Boac and FelipeAnotado; second lieutenants Fracis

Mirabelle Samson and Arnel Enriquez;and master sergeant Rizal Hilario

were charged with rape, seriousphysical injuries, arbitrary detention,maltreatment o prisoners and othercriminal cases in connection to theabduction o the two UP students.

Weak alibiIn his counter adavit led last

August 31, Osorio denied workingunder Palparan in the 7th InantryDivision o the AFP, adding that herst met the retired general only whenhe was assigned as his security aide.

Osorios records indicated he wason training at Cebu at the time o theabduction.

However, the complainants arguedthat military assignment will ocourse not contain inormation o his

participation because it was a covertmilitary operation. They pointed outthat an ocial assignment at oneplace does not exclude the possibility

o being given a special missionorder in another place.

The complainants added that eveni his records are considered at acevalue it will shows that, rom May 5,2006 to July 6, 2006, he was alreadyback and assigned at Fort AndresBoniacio, making it possible or himto be at the scene o the abduction.

The deense o alibi cannot prevailover the credible, straightorwardand positive identication by [aneyewitness and survivor to theabduction] and is not worthy o belie,the reply adavit urther read.

DOJ hearing nears endOsorio ailed to appear on the

September 7 hearing, prompting thelegal counsel o the complainants tole a motion to waive his right to le

PhilHealth as the ultimate answer toall the countrys health problems.

The cornerstone o universalhealth care is ensuring that allFilipinos are protected rom thenancial burden illnesses bringthrough a reormed PhilHealth, saysDOH Secretary Enrique Ona.

However, poor inormationdissemination regarding the cardshas compromised this purpose. Hindinaiintindihan ng mga indigent ang mgacards na yan, says Pacapac. To availo PhilHealth services, one wouldrst need to secure a Members Datarecord, a requirement which mostmembers are not amiliar with.

In Fabella, she shares, only14 percent o patients availed otheir PhilHealth insurance which isconsidered very low.

Moreover, the services oered by

PhilHealth may continue to be limitedor as long as hospital acilities remaindecrepit due to lack o unding, saysDr. Geneve Rivera, secretary-generalo HEAD. For instance, a patientcannot truly avail o certain PhilHealthservices such as reduced rates orsurgery i a hospital does not have theproper equipment to do the procedure.

Indeed, instead o pouringgovernment unds into PhilHealthcards, increasing the actual budgetor acilities and equipment makesmore sense, argues Lukban. Pagsa MOOE [maintenance and otheroperating expenditures] ipinasok angpera, diretso agad sa ospital. Pag saPhilHealth, mag-aantay pa kami ng atleast our months.

Side efectsStrengthening the PhilHealth

system is part o Aquinos overallscheme to enhance public privatepartnerships (PPPs). Operating under

the concept o PPP, the PhilHealthtapped corporate partners rom theprivate sector to give the new ID cardmore value, according to PhilHealth.

The Aquino administration adoptedPPPs as a scheme to reduce the budgetor social services by coordinatingwith private companies. With PPPs, inaallow nila ang mga negosyantena tumulong sa development atenhancement ng hospitals, saysRivera. Pero alam natin na ang privatesector, pag pumasok sila, ang uunahinnila ay tubo, she adds.

As private companies prioritizeprot-making over the provisiono health services, health servicesmay become more costly and in turn,less accessible.

For instance, due to the P11million budget cut in the MOOE othe Philippine Orthopedic Center,rates or diagnostic tests increasedby over 100 percent. A chest PA X-raytest which initially cost only P120 wasincreased to P250 last March.

Budget cuts only led to the entryo private entities in the health sector

and the rise o health costs, accordingto the UP Health Organization orthe People (UP HOPE), a healthorganization based in UPManila.

UP HOPEcites the

construction o the Faculty MedicalArts Building (FMAB) within PGH andthe memoranda issued by Gonzaleswhich curtailed ree access o ClassD patients to laboratory services. Theunds used by PGH come rom the UPbudget and is in turn also a victim othe budget cuts experienced by UP.

As such, PGH, supposedlyestablished to cater to indigentpatients, is at the brink ocompromising its original mandatewhich was urther disregarded with theconstruction o FMAB which operateslike a private hospital within PGH.

Isa yan sa pinakamalakinginsultona magkaroon ng isangpribadong ospital sa loob mismo ngPGH na nag-ooer ng halos kapareho,i not aster diagnostic proceduresthan PGH, says Nisperos.

Alternative treatmentGiven the current ramework o

the administration, the whole healthsector is in critical condition or thenext ve years.

In the ace o such prospects,the solution then becomes obvious:increase the budget or healthservices, says Rivera. A P90 billionbudget should be given to the DOHto institute proper reorms that willeectively provide enough subsidies tostate hospitals.

To do so would

entail a reversal o the policies thatlead to insufcient unding o healthservices such as the automatic debtservicing policy which mandates thata higher budget is allocated to paydebt. For the 2012 proposed budget,the allocation or debt servicing was15 times higher than that o healthservices, according to IBON.

Spending or health must beprioritized, states Sta Regent JosselEbesate. Health services should notbe privatized and should instead bemade accessible among the poorestand most vulnerable, he adds.

While government coers areemptied to buy bullets and appeaseinvestors, meanwhile, more patientswill rush to state hospitals, waiting

in line to receive the health servicesthey could not aord had they gone toa private hospital. The queue becomeslonger as the delivery o servicesremains slow. Even the most basichealth services, it seems, has becomea privilege provided only to thosewho can pay.

*For LFS

Maraming mga kaganapang pinalalampas

Tadad na ang iyong imeableng akdang aralin a mga gimik upangmalamang noong isang linggo, may bagona namang planeang nauklasan, a na,sa isang walang kinalamang kaganapan,inihalinulad ni Noynoy sa dikador angmga akibisa.

Naganap ang huli sa invesiure ngbagong pangulo ng Aeneo kung saansinabi ni Noynoy na inanggihan niyangmaging miyembro ng League o FilipinoSudens noong nasa kolehiyo pa lamangsiya ulad mo. Pamilyar sa iyo marahilang LFS, silang mahilig mag-ingay amanawagan na ibagsak ang/si ganioganire.

Ani Noynoy, umanggi siyang magingkabahagi ng LFS dahil sa umiiral umanongdikadurya sa loob ng organisasyon.Para sa isang anak ng prominenengpoliical gures na nakaranas ngpandarahas mula sa miliar a esado,nakapagaakang hindi naging kaaki-aki para sa kanya ang radikal na puliikaa sa halip ay nahirai sa konserbaibongpakikisangko a nagawa pang umanib saROTC.

Marahil, pinili mo ring huwag sumalisa mga organisasyon ulad ng LFS, hindidahil pareho kayo ng rason ni Noynoy,

kundi dahil payak a simpleng ayaw

mong maging akibisa. Para sa iyo asa maraming kabaaan, isang malakingurn-of ang makialam sa pulika a mgapambansang isyu.

Maaaring maihalinulad mo ang iyongsarili kay Noynoy bunsod nio, ngunimagkaiba kayo ng pinanggagalingan.Kung isasaalang-alang ang iniinugangsirkumsansiya ng mga pahayag ngPangulo, ang mga io ay pagaangkangiligas ang kanyang sarili mula saposibleng pagdaluyong ng kabaaanginaasulo ng kanyang mga agibangna paakaran. Sa pagbanggi niya ngkanyang karanasan noong kolehiyo,ipinamumukha niya sa iyong kawangisng iyong kinasasadlakan ang kanyangmga pinagdaanan. Tulad din ng kanyangginawa, ang pagpili mong manahan sa

lilim ng kaalwan ay pinagmimisulangkaanggap-anggap.Ang nasabing alumpai ni Noynoy

sa Aeneo ay perpekong oporunidadupang yurakan ang kredibilidad ngisa sa mga masugid niong kriiko.Maaandaang ang kanyang pahayag ayginawa ilang linggo maapos marahasna idisperse ang iyong mga kamag-aralna nagproesa laban sa pagapyas sabudge ng UP a isang araw maaposmaipakia sa elebisyon ang mgaakibisa na nagaali ng puing ribbonsa braso ang mga kongresisa na nakiisa

sa kanilang kampanya para sa maaas

na subsidyo sa edukasyon. Karuwagangmaiuuring ang paninira niya sa mgakabaaang akibisang hindi naman niyapinakikinggan ang mga panawagan.

Iniuugnay ni Noynoy ang mgasaliang ulad ng dikadurya sa mgaorganisasyong ulad ng LFS upangihiwalay ang mga ulad mong kabaaansa mga pagkilos na naglalayong baguhinang lipunan. Kinailangan niyang gumaming bagong maanang na pang-uri dahilsa kabila ng mainding paninira ng mganakapangyayari laban sa mga grupongulad ng LFS ay marami pa ring kabaaanang naaaki sa miliane nilang radisyon.Alam ni Noynoy na likas sa ulad mo angumasam ng radikal na pagbabago, kayagagawa a gagawa siya ng pamamaraan,ulad ng pag-imbeno ng isang buko na

Bilog ang buwan, mahalumigmig ang simoy ng hangin

tamang-tama para sa inuman ng magkakapitbahay. Handa na sa mesa sa tapat ng tindahan ang malamig na serbesa at angpulutang adobong manok na dala ni Kapitan.

Natagpuan ko na lang yan sa bakuran ko kanina, ani Kapitan sabay nguso sa pulutan habang nagmumuwestrang ginigilitan angsarili sa leeg. Dedo.

Napa-iling ang mga kasama niya, hindi makapaniwalang napasok ng magnanakaw pati ang bahay ng kapitan na may limang

mababangis na pitbull at sementadong pader.

Alam nyo Kap, nangyari na rin tong nakanawan ng mga hayop sa isa pang baryo, anang isang lalaki sa umpukan.

Namumuhay raw kasama ng isang halimaw ang mga tao sa karatig na baryo. Sa matagal na panahon, nasanay na silang makatagpo ngnilapang kalabaw o baboy sa gubat, warak ang kalahati ng mukha at nilil ilok ng mga uod at langgam ang tiyan. Lagi ring nawawala ang mgamanok at iba pa nilang alaga.

Yung halimaw ang kumukuha? anang isa sa mga mama. Anong halimaw yan, kapre? Tikbalang?

Ano namang gagawin ng tikbalang sa mga manok? hirit ng isa, pero itinuloy pa rin ang kuwento.

Walang nangangahas maghanap o pumatay sa halimaw tanggap na ng mga mamamayan doon na bahagi na ng kanilang buhay ang takot at pangamba. Maingat sila atmapagmasid baka dumating ang panahong sila mismoy sasagpangan ng halimaw habang naglal akad sa gubat o naglalaba sa ilog.

Higit na tumindi ang pag-aalala ng mga mamamayan nang dumating ang panahon ng tagtuyot. Ilang buwang hindi umulan at hindinadiligan ang mga sumisibol na binhi. Namatay ang mga punot nagka-bitak-bitak ang lupa at hindi na rin kinaya ng ilang mga alagang

hayop ang init.

Nag-alay sila ng kalabaw, nanalangin sa mga engkantot humingi ng tawad sa mga duwendeng maaaring nagawan ngkasalanan ngunit hindi pa rin dumating ang hinihintay nilang ulan at patuloy pa rin ang pananalakay ng halimaw.

Nang maluklok sa puwesto ang isang kapitan, ipinangako niyang gagawa siya ng paraan upang manumbalikang dati nilang kabuhayan. Naisip ng kapitan: kailangang tugisin ang halimaw!

Bakit hindi na lang gumawa ng paraan para magkaroon ng patubig? nagtaka ang isang mama. Tumangoang lahat at humingi ng sagot sa kaibigang nagkukuwento.

Patapusin nyo muna!

Sinimulan ang paghahanap sa halimaw. Nagtayo ang mga lalaki ng mga bitag sa ibat ibang bahagi Nagtali sila ng mga lubid sa mga talasok na ipinasak sa lupa, at naglagay ng mga pain na karne.

Tuwing umaga, makikita nilang nasira ang mga bitag napigtas ang talit tila ba dinaanan lang ng isang dambuhna hindi kayang gapusin ng patibong.

Ibinenta ng mga tao ang natitirang pananim nila upang makabili ng mas matibay na pisi at ginamit nilang pain ang mga nahayop. Ilang linggo ang lumipas at, sa wakas, nagtagumpay din sila nang mahuli ang isang higanteng buwaya.

Mga singhaba ng bahay ni Kap ngayon, ganon ba? pagtataka ng isa. Oo, sagot ng nagkukuwento, higit sa l imang dipa ng tao.

Kung ganoon kalaki e bakit walang nakakakita? may isa pang nagtanong.

Naghihintay ng sagot ang lahat, habang nakangisi lang si Kap sa kanyang puwestot nginunguya ang inihandang pulutan.

Tingin nyo Kap? tanong ng isang lalaki.

Teka, anong nangyari pagkatapos?

Sa unay kinilabutan ang mga tao. Hindi nila akalaing isang higanteng buwaya pala ang halimaw na matagalsa kanilang baryo. At dahil nahuli na ito, umasa silang makapamuhay nang walang pag-aalala at mapapanumb

kanilang kabuhayan matapos ang tagtuyot.

Kinuha nila ang pinakamatutulis na sun dang para sa seremonya ng pasasalamat at walang habas nang nahuling halimaw. Naghihiyawan ang mga tao habang nalunod sa ingay ang napinid na palaha

binusalan. Idinilig nila ang dugo nito sa lupang uhaw.

Lalong nagdiwang ang mga tao nang maya-mayay may pumatak na ambon na naulan.

Marami pang tanong ang mga lalaki sa pagtatapos ng kuwento, pero panay malay-ko-ba ang sagot ng tagapagsalaysay.

Malay nyo may buwayang nagmamasid dyan sa likod ng mgnagkukuwentuhan tayo, biro ni Kap.

Tumawa ang lahat at nagpalitan sila ng haka-haka kung sino talaga ang manok sa baryo. Magtayo na lang tayo ng bitag para matigil ang sumpa! hiri

Matapos ang biruan at kuwentuhan, nagpasya nang umuwi at maghmagkakapitbahay.

Naglakad si Kap pauwi sa kanila, at bago tumuloy sa bahay, dumaan muna snapalilibutan ng mataas na sementadong pader.

Naalala niyang sa susunod na linggo na ang kaarawan ng kanyang misis. Napanhabang pinagmamasdan ang pinakamatatabat malulusog sa mga alagang manok . T

na naman ang buong bayan. Walang magtataka, walang makahahalata kung saangnanggaling ang kanyang ihahain.

Mamaya, katulad ng mga nagdaang bukang-liwayway, sa bakuran niya pa rin ma

pinakamalakas na koro ng tilaok ng manok sa buong bayan.
