UP Human Ecology Student Society

UP Human Ecology Student Society Constantly pursuing sustainable development without compromising the needs of the future. ✨

The University of the Philippines Human Ecology Student Society (UP HESS) is a college-based academic organization at the College of Human Ecology in the University of the Philippines Los Baños. The main thrust of the organization is anchored towards the promotion of academic excellence. It also gives equal importance to camaraderie and leadership as a means to aid the well-being of humans. Its approach is fueled by the passion of BS Human Ecology and BS Nutrition students who intend to contribute and integrate their knowledge on their respective fields with the larger society. Moreover, UP HESS believes in the principle, “Humans are a part of nature and are not entitled to work against it.” In this light, HESSians actively take part in the conservation and protection of the environment in pursuit of a sustainable development by the use of present resources without compromising the needs of the future.

UP HESS is Proudly celebrating ✨Women’s Month✨! 💜

The women featured in our publication represent generations of courage and impact: women who served communities with compassion, pursued knowledge with excellence, and stood firm in their principles despite challenges. Their lives remind us that true leadership is rooted in integrity, resilience, and heart. 💐

From advocates and educators to pioneers and changemakers, these women have shaped history and continue to inspire progress. They broke barriers, raised their voices for justice, and paved the way for future leaders to rise with confidence and purpose. 🌏✨

As HESSians, we draw inspiration from their stories. May we serve selflessly, strive relentlessly for academic growth, and remain steadfast in our ideals. In every initiative we launch and every community we uplift, we carry forward the legacy of women who proved that strength is not defined by limits, but by impact. 🩵📚

This month is not only a celebration of their achievements but also a call to continue empowering one another, striving for equality, and building a brighter, more inclusive future. 🌸✨

BABAE KA, HINDI BABAE LANG!

Sa ika-40 anibersaryo ng EDSA People Power Revolution, sama-sama nating alalahanin at bigyang-pugay ang lakas-loob na pagtindig ng masa laban sa salot, magnanakaw, at diktador na si Marcos Sr. Ito ay patunay lamang na sino man ang nakaupo sa itaas, ang kapangyarihan ay nananatiling nasa sambayanan mula noon hanggang ngayon.

Ilang taon na ang lumipas, ngunit hindi pa rin natatapos ang ating laban kontra sa mapang-api at mapang-abusong sistema na siyang patuloy na nagpapahirap sa mga Pilipino. Patuloy pa rin ang malawakang korapsyon at ang pagne-negosyo ng mga politiko sa serbisyong pantao na siyang dahilan kung bakit hanggang ngayon ay nagtitiis ang karamihan sa hirap habang ang mga buwaya ay nagpapakasasa sa yaman na galing sa nakaw.

Kaya naman ngayon ay mahalagang isadiwa pa rin natin ang EDSA at kapit-bisig na lumaban at manindigan para sa tunay na demokrasya!

NAGKAKAISANG PAHAYAG NG MGA KONSEHO NG MAG-AARAL AT ORGANISASYON NG KOLEHIYO NG EKOLOHIYANG PANTAO SA PAGGUNITA NG IKA-40 NA ANIBERSARYO NG EDSA PEOPLE POWER REVOLUTION

𝐄𝐤𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚 𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐧, 𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐲𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐤𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐧! 𝐓𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐤𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐬𝐲𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐠-𝐚𝐚𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐨 𝐬𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐧! 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐨𝐬-𝐃𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐞, 𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐧!

Patong-patong na ang mga isyung panlipunan at pangkalikasan upang singilin at panagutin ng taumbayan ang mga naghahari-harian sa lipunan at mga lider sa pamahalaan na animo’y sagisag ng korapsyon at katiwalian—kabilang na ang hari at reyna ng korapsyon na sina Marcos Jr. at Sara Duterte.

Ngayong araw, ginugunita natin ang ika-40 anibersaryo ng pag-aaklas ng mamamayang Pilipino upang patalsikin ang diktador na si Marcos Sr., na nagpahirap sa sambayanang Pilipino lalo na noong panahon ng Batas Militar. Bagama’t napaalis sa puwesto ang pasistang rehimen, nagpapatuloy pa rin ang impluwensya at kapangyarihan ng pamilyang Marcos sa pamahalaan. Patuloy na nararanasan ng mga batayang sektor—mga magsasaka, manggagawa, katutubo, kababaihan, kabataan, at iba pa—ang bigat ng mga polisiyang mapanupil at kontra-mamamayan.

Talamak pa rin ang korapsyon sa Pilipinas hanggang sa kasalukuyan. Hindi lamang iisa o dalawang pamilya ang nasasangkot dito, kundi maging ang kanilang mga kaalyado at kasapakat sa gobyerno. Kasabay nito ang mga isyung pangkalikasan, tulad ng hindi makatarungang pagmimina sa isla ng Mindoro, kung saan pangunahing naaapektuhan ang mga katutubong Mangyan, ang kanilang mga lupang ninuno, at ang kanilang kabuhayan.
Isa sa malinaw na bunga ng patuloy na korapsyon sa pamahalaan ay ang patuloy na pagkaltas sa pondo ng edukasyon, na lantad na nararanasan sa loob ng Kolehiyo ng Ekolohiyang Pantao. Bagamat ipinagmamalaki ang ₱6.78B na pagtaas sa UP budget—mula ₱22.69B noong 2025 tungong ₱29.47B ngayong taon—hindi pa rin ito sapat upang tugunan ang lumalaking pangangailangan ng mga estudyante at g**o: nananatiling kulang ang mga silid-aralan, hindi nadaragdagan ang mga kaguruan at kawani, at patuloy na pasan ng mga mag-aaral ang mabibigat na gastusin sa fieldwork at laboratory requirements. Hindi sapat ang numerong “tumaas” kung sa aktwal ay kapos pa rin ang suporta sa batayang serbisyo; ang edukasyon ay karapatan, hindi pribilehiyong dapat pagtipiran o gawing palamuti sa ulat ng pamahalaan.

Lantad na lantad na kung sino ang may pananagutan sa patuloy na kahirapang dinaranas ng mamamayan, ngunit pinipili ng administrasyon na magbulag-bulagan. Sa halip na tugunan ang mga hinaing ng taumbayan, mas pinipili nitong patahimikin at takutin ang mga progresibo. Gayunpaman, patuloy na umaalsa ang masa sapagkat batid nilang nasa kanilang kolektibong lakas ang tunay na kapangyarihan para sa pagbabago.

𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗼 𝗼 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗴-𝗚𝗨𝗟𝗢?

Matagal pa ang 2028 para sa susunod na halalan, ngunit nitong Pebrero 19 ay inanunsyo ni Sara Duterte ang kanyang planong tumakbo bilang pangulo habang nananatiling nakabimbin ang seryosong usapin sa paglustay niya ng mahigit kumulang ₱125M mula sa kaniyang confidential funds sa loob lamang ng 11 na araw noong 2022. Ayon sa Commission on Audit (COA), umabot sa ₱73.287M ang tinamaan ng notices of suspension at disallowance dahil sa mga iregularidad, kabilang ang umano’y pineke o depektibong resibo, hindi matukoy na mga tumanggap ng bayad tulad nila Mary Grace Piattos, at dobleng talaan ng gastusin. Habang kapos ang pondo para sa serbisyong panlipunan, malinaw na insulto ito sa mamamayang nagpapasahod at nagtitiwala sa mga nasa kapangyarihan habang kawalan ng pananagutan ang isinusukli sa kanila.

Kung sisipatin ang kasaysayan ng Pilipinas, makikitang inuulit lamang nina Marcos Jr. at Sara Duterte ang mga pagkakamali at pang-aabusong ginawa ng kanilang mga ama. Sa halip na solusyunan ang mga suliranin ng bansa, lalo pa nila itong pinalalala at ipinapasa ang bigat sa mamamayan.
Sawang-sawa na ang mga Pilipino sa paulit-ulit na mukha at apelyidong naluluklok sa pamahalaan. Sawang-sawa na rin sila sa sistemang pinatatakbo ng mga lider na anti-mamamayan at pahirap sa bayan.
Makatarungan at nararapat lamang na bumalikwas.
Bilang mga iskolar at ekolohista ng bayan na siyang primaryang tungkulin ay lumubog sa karaingan ng sambayanan, nagkakaisa ang tindig ng mga mag-aaral ng Kolehiyo ng Ekolohiyang Pantao. Hangga’t nananatili sa puwesto ang parehong mga pangalan at dinastiya sa pamahalaan, patuloy na lalaban ang taumbayan laban sa sistemang matagal na nilang tinututulan. Makatarungan ang pag-aaklas ng mamamayan sapagkat ito ang paraan upang igiit ang tunay na pagbabago.
Darating ang panahon na ang mamamayan mismo ang magluluwal at magluloklok ng mga pinunong nagmumula sa kanilang hanay—mga manggagawa, magsasaka, katutubo, kababaihan, kabataan, at tunay na pinunong makabayan.

Dahil dito, sama-sama tayong tutungo sa kahabaan ng EDSA at sabay-sabay na irehistro ang ating panawagan: panagutin ang lahat ng sangkot sa korapsyon, mula sa tuktok pababa.
LAHAT NG SANGKOT, DAPAT MANAGOT!
MARCOS, SINGILIN! DUTERTE, PANAGUTIN!
ANG TAO! ANG BAYAN! NGAYON AY LUMALABAN!
