Good day!
I would like to make it clear that the idea of forging ties with alliances such as KASAMA SA UP, SHOUT NOW!, UMAKSYON, Youth Act Now, and the like, is a project under STAND UP’s General Program of Action. This is to ensure that our interests and concerns as a college are addressed more effectively in the spirit of collective action.
Thanks. 🙂
