The UPLB University Library joins the community in honoring those who stood against tyranny and in remembering the lives lost in the struggle for freedom and democracy.

As stewards of knowledge and memory, we affirm the importance of preserving historical truth, protecting the integrity of our collective memory, and ensuring that future generations have access to the stories that shaped our nation.

May we continue to remember, learn, and stand for truth.

We remember the victims. We reject historical distortion. We continue the fight.

As an institution of higher learning, UPLB stands firm in its commitment to truth, historical accuracy, and the protection of human rights and democratic freedoms. We honor the memory of the martyrs and heroes who resisted tyranny, and we recommit ourselves to vigilance against any repetition of this history.
