APEX: THE UP LAW KICKOFF PARTY

4TH OF JULY 2009

CLUB CIRCA, EASTWOOD CITYWALK LIBIS

Resident and alumni brods alike joined the other “Friends of Chiz” in a dinner with Lord Chancellor Sen. Francis Joseph G. Escudero at the Centennial Hall of the Manila Hotel last June 26 and got to know more about the man who may be the next President of the Philippines.

The youngest decade of the Fraternity were honored at the Metro Manila Fellowship at Fort Bonifacio, Taguig last April 29. Four Alphans from the batches 2000-2009 were selected as Brothers Exemplar for their contributions to the country, University, and Fraternity.

The thrust of the University of the Philippines or Tatak UP is to inculcate among its students an unwavering commitment to the highest standards of academic excellence coupled with a deep and meaningful national consciousness befitting their stature as scholars of the National University. It shall be the duty of the University to produce graduates who are equipped with the intellectual preparation and sense of patriotism needed for them to become leaders in their chosen professions and vocations and to be catalysts of social justice and development. Towards this end, the University shall endeavor to foster creativity, critical thinking, resourcefulness, leadership skills, as well as socio-political consciousness, rights awareness and rights responsiveness, and a sense of national responsibility and civic duty among its students in an academic community that observes and protects the democratic rights and processes of students and student organizations.

In saying these, we believe that the lenses to be used in adopting rules and regulations governing student conduct in UP should be (1) rights-based, and (2) in the furtherance of student empowerment.

Following these basic principles, the Fraternity registers its strong objection against the draft 2009 Code of Student Conduct both on procedural and substantive grounds.

Armed with placards and lighted candles, the protesters denounced the planned impeachment of Chief Justice Reynato Puno (Law ‘62) as serious moves to serve “partisan, selfish, and unpatriotic interests.”

“We are calling for the defense of the Chief Justice not necessarily because he is our Fraternity Brother, but because he embodies what the Judiciary needs – credibility, integrity, unsullied independence, and probity.”
