KABATAAN PARTYLIST CONDEMS CHARTER CHANGE
Together with the launching of the Lihok Kabataan Batok Krisis ug
Komersyalisasyon and its campaign banner Pakigbisugan ang TSEK
(Trabaho, Serbisyo-Sosyal, Edukasyon ug Katungod), KABATAAN expresses
its strong condemnation towards the desperate move of the Arroyo
regime in pushing for Charter Change.
The group condemns this desperate move which only shows how selfish
the current regime via its intention to preserve and extend the hold
for political power beyond 2010.
The Filipino people, particularly the youth, will not benefit from a
change in the fundamental law of the land. The push for Charter Change
is untimely since it does not respond to the majority burdened by the
worsening economic crisis.
As for the youth, one of the marginalized sectors in the society,
education remains to be the primary concern which has been last in the
priority list of the government. It remains to be expensive despite
the current regime’s brag for free and quality education. Many youths
who cannot afford to go to school force and prefer themselves to work
for survival.
Even though the government offers a free basic education, the quality
stays low. The shortage of teachers, classrooms, textbooks, school
facilities is a manifestation that Philippine education has been,
somehow, neglected by the present administration.
While the government is busy wasting time and money in pushing for
Charter Change, the worst situation of the youth awaits to be
attended.
Youth Condemns Chacha!
No to Charter Change!
OUST Gloria!
Youth calls for quality and affordable EDUCATION!
Youth calls for Trabaho, Serbisyo-Sosyal, Edukasyon ug Katungod (TSEK)
Free Education, Not Corruption! Education, Not Corruption! Education,
Not Militarization!
Fight against crisis and corruption!
