KABATAN-ONAN, MAKIGHIUSA SA MAMUMUO UG BATAKANG MASA! SALMOT SA MAYO UNO!

Padayon ang walay hunong nga pagsaka sa presyo sa lana—ug uban niini, misaka ang presyo sa pagkaon, plete, kuryente, ug tanang batakang panginahanglan. Kada saka sa presyo, mas gilubong ang katawhan sa lalom nga kakabus.

Ang mamumuo gilansang sa ubos nga suholan. Ang drayber ginapas-an ang taas nga gasto ug gamay’ng kita. Ang estudyante naglisod sa pagpadayon sa eskwela. Usa ra ang ugat sa ilang kalisod—usa ka sistemang mas nag-una sa tubo kaysa sa kinabuhi sa katawhan.

Dili kini aksidente. Kini resulta sa sistemang gitukod sa imperyalismo, pyudalismo, ug burukrata kapitalismo—ang tinuod nga ugat sa nagbalik-balik nga krisis. Makita kini sa deregulasyon, kakulang sa nasyonal nga industriya, ug sa gobyernong nag-alagad sa dagkong kapitalista imbes sa katawhan.

Imbis nga pasakaan ang sweldo ug hatagan og igong pondo ang tinuod nga panginahanglan sa masa, mas daghang pondo ang gigahin sa US-Marcos ug Duterte nga administrasyon para sa militarisasyon ug pasismo, sama sa makita sa kaso sa Toboso 19.

Busa, karong Mayo Uno, klaro ang panawagan: maghiusa ang mamumuo, mag-uuma, kabatan-onan, ug batakang masa! Atubangon ug batukan ang taas nga presyo, sweldong dili makabuhi, ug sistemang nagpadayon sa walay hunong nga pagpahimulos sa katawhan!

MAKABUHING SUHOLAN, PAKIGBISOGAN! US-MARCOS UG DUTERTE, PALAGPUTON! ✊🔥

A report from the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) to the Supreme Student Council (SSC) announcing there will be a possibility of postponing this year's Student Council Elections (SCE) due to the SSC’s registration status. The COMELEC and SSC held an emergency meeting last March 20, 2026.

On February 4, 2026, a correspondence between the Vice President for Academic Affairs (VPAA) Atty. Largo and COMELEC Chairperson Yammani Pabillore stated possible delay of SCE due to the unregistered status of the SSC, directly violating the inherent democratic rights of the student body.

STAND USC condemns this attack and recognizes the broader pattern of neoliberal education system wherein it constantly undermines and violates the fundamental rights of the studentry. The party encourages the Carolinian community to be wary and condemn these neoliberal offensives amidst the current economic and political crisis brought upon by international tensions.

This is a developing story. Carolinians, be vigilant about the railroading attacks on our democratic rights.

FASCIST GOONS ON-SITE!!! 😡

In the on-going National Transportation Strike held in the Talamban Choke-point, 2 Police cars, 5 police officers and 2 SWAT officers have stationed across and other surrounding areas. Additionally, PETRON Nasipit, Talamban branch has also attempted to disrupt the strike, threatening the rights of drivers to express their dissent on the oil prices hike. This peaceful mobilization has no need for multiple police officers as they struggling Filipinos wanting for their demands to be heard and supported. Yet, the first response of the state is to deploy multiple goons when the obvious terrorist is this government putting its people into hunger and the US Imperialist bombing countries left and right.

We assert that police visibility and disruption of the strike should not become a hindrance in conducting the strike and the state should prioritize the safety of its drivers and service workers.

PALAYASIN AND PULISYA UG MILITAR SA TRANSPORTATION STRIKEB! ✊🏻

HAPPENING NOW: CEBU TRANSPORT STRIKE AGAINST OIL PRICE HIKE COMMENCES IN PETRON, TALAMBAN!

The increase in oil prices has caused a great economic crisis amongst public transportation drivers and local citizens, worsened by the Oil Deregulation Law and excise taxes. This issue serves as a threat to their livelihood and capacity to provide for their families—causing insecurity in basic needs. As commuters and students, we must stand in solidarity and show our utmost support for our jeepney drivers and operators in calling and demanding the implementation of these calls:

1.) END THE US-WAR AGGRESSION AGAINST IRAN
2.) INCREASE BASIC SALARY OF WORKERS AND PROFIT OF JEEPNEY DRIVERS
3.) REGULATE THE PRICE OF OIL AND OTHER BASIC SERVICES
4.) JUNK OIL PRICE HIKE, 12% VAT INCREASE, AND EXCISE TAX
5.) FINANCIAL AID FOR ALL WHO ARE AFFECTED OF THI ECONOMIC CRISIS
6.) JUNK OIL DEREGULATION LAW AND OTHER NEOLIBERAL POLICIES

Laban sa Drayber, Laban sa Komyuter! ✊🏻🚌

KOMYUTER, KUYOG LABAN SA DRAYBER!

In the worsening oil crisis due to the war being waged by the imperialist US, our best contribution as commuters and citizens, is to play an active role in the present struggle. This is an issue not only for the jeepney drivers and operators, but for all of us, who, everyday, must face the rising commute prices and that of all other expenses.

While oil prices have risen from P50, to now being P90 to P100 for gasoline, diesel, and kerosene, the big capitalists are using the crisis to gain even more money for themselves. In the corruption being sponsored by the government, the masses continue to bear the burden of VAT, excise tax, and the Oil Deregulation Law, which only serves to worsen our current state.

For this, we must be united in our call for the removal of the VAT and excise tax on oil, for the rollback of prices, and finally, to trash the Oil Deregulation Law; we also call for the nationalization of the oil industry so that it may serve the masses, and not the big foreigners nor the bureaucrat-capitalists, while we are being denied higher wages and lower prices for basic commodities. Lastly, we call for an end to the US war aggression which has cause the crisis we are facing right now.

Commuters, let us join the strike! Show the power of the commuter and jeepney driver united against the price hike, against the imperialist involvement, and for the genuine good of the masses!

Para! Sa Drayber! Welga Na!

A Donation Drive for the March 19-20, Nationwide Transport Strike

The relentless surge in fuel prices, worsened by the Oil Deregulation Law and regressive taxes, has reached a critical point. For the drivers and operators who survive on a constant daily income, these hikes are not just matters that they could just ignore, they are a direct threat to their livelihood and their ability to provide for their families.

We recognize that participating in this protest is a massive sacrifice for our drivers who are risking themselves from earning their daily income. In an industry where earnings are already depleted by high pump prices, choosing to strike is a courageous act of protest for the benefit of the riding public and the Filipino masses.

To support the participating drivers, we are launching this donation drive where the money received will be given to the participating drivers who will have zero earnings during these two days of protest.

We encourage the student body and our communities to extend their financial support through our donation channels.

Every peso directly helps bridge the gap for a driver who has chosen to prioritize our collective welfare over their daily boundary. Let us prove that our different sectors stand united in the face of an economic crisis.

📍 RALLY CENTERS (CEBU):
- Andoks, Mabolo
- Landbank, P. Del Rosario
- Shell Gas Station, Nasipit-Cabancalan

Global conflicts like the US and Israel’s war against Iran are struggles over resources and power. These wars push oil prices higher, and in the Philippines—a country dependent on imported fuel—the impact falls directly on working people. Rising transport costs, higher fares, and unstable livelihoods are the reality for millions, with the heaviest burden on jeepney drivers.

Drivers, who keep our communities moving every day, are already struggling to make ends meet. Many earn barely enough after covering fuel and maintenance, and the constant rise in oil prices worsens an already impossible situation.

In response, they have announced a strike on March 19, risking their daily income to demand urgent and just solutions. Us students and commuters alike also bear the cost of a broken, profit-driven transport system. Their fight is ours too.

✊ CAROLINIANS, we invite you to join our busking donation drive tomorrow at 12:00 NN, USC-TC Bunzel Canteen. Let us stand in solidarity with our jeepney drivers!

ROLLBACK FUEL PRICES! SUSPEND EXCISE TAX AND VAT!
JUNK OIL DEREGULATION LAW! NATIONALIZE OIL INDUSTRY!
SAHOD ITAAS, PRESYO IBABA!
STOP THE US WAR MACHINE!
