Skip to contentTHE VINCENTON POSTIn the name of the best within
you, do not sacrifice this world to those who are its worst. In the
name of the values that keep you alive, do not let your vision of
man be distorted by the ugly, the cowardly, the mindless in those
who have never achieved his title. Do not lose your knowledge that
mans proper estate is an upright posture, an intransigent mind and
a step that travels unlimited roads. Do not let your fire go out,
spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the
approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let
the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life
you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road
and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won, it
exists, it is real, it is possible, its yours. JOHN GALT

Seeds of Evil: How Communism Infiltrates PublicUniversities?

The evil political ideology behind free access to education is
very clear: Socialism.
A deliberate destruction of taxpayers' money!
The pernicious tentacles of communism are now at work in our
campuses, particularly state universities and colleges (SUCs).
The violent, barbaric, and highly disturbing March 19 student
protest at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP), a
taxpayers-funded higher education institution located in Sta. Mesa,
Manila, shows the degree of communist collectivization and
indoctrination of the Filipino youth today. Militant students
violently protested against the university officials plan to raise
tuition from the current P12.00 ($0.26) to P200.00 ($4.39).
The taxpayers-funded state universitys tuition hike proposal was
intended to improve school facilities and instruction. But the
school administrations notice, which states that a 1,567-percent
tuition hike would be imposed on incoming freshmen, enraged
militant students. The schools notice read: ADVISORY: The public is
being informed that PUP will increase the tuition and other fees of
incoming freshmen in board and laboratory-intensive programs for
the school year 2010-2011, subject to the approval of the
University Board of Regents.Irate militant students reacted with
violent protests wherein they staged a mass walkout from their
classes and torched chairs outside the universitys premises. They
claimed that the tuition hike proposal was unjust and inappropriate
without considering the fact that the P12.00 per unit charged by
their school was at 1979 levels. Apply that to the current pricing
of general services plus inflation and the purchasing power of
peso, said amount is reduced to less than one peso per unit. The
militant students and their political appeasers, particularly the
Kabataan Party and leftist party-list groups and organizations,
also paid no attention to the fact that the proposed hike is not
across the board for all academic courses, but laboratory intensive
courses, and that none of them would be affected, but only incoming
freshmen. The student activists also refuse to consider that the
state university has not increased its tuition for the past 32
years amid its insufficient annual budget of P660 million.
For the past 32 years, PUP has not increased its tuition fee
amid its meager budget of P660 million a year. It offers the lowest
tuition fee for its thousands of students from the marginalized
sector of the society.
The proposal was in response to a cut in the national
governments budget for PUP. Based on the 2010 national
appropriations act, the outgoing Arroyo administration cut the
budget for the state university by P43 million ($943,720) to P661
million ($14 million). The budget would be shared by 1,483 faculty
members and around 52,000 students across the state universitys six
campuses, two branches and 10 extension campuses across the
country.
As expected, militant youth organizations, such as the National
Union of Students in the Philippines and the Kabataan Party-list,
orchestrated the anti-tuition hike protests wherein militant
students stormed the Commission on High Education (CHED) building
in Diliman, Quezon City on March 22 to oppose PUPs proposed tuition
increase.
The Kabataan Party came up with an exaggerated statement wherein
it claimed that the tuition hike would affect an estimated 66,000
incoming freshmen.
This is a very important national issue that should be addressed
by presidentiables this election period. Those who promise to
advocate better access to education, a better future for our youth,
[and those] who declare that they want to help the poor should make
a categorical stand against the proposed tuition hike in PUP and
other state universities, the Kabataan Party secretary said. He
added: The next president must increase the budgetary allocation
and state spending on education and should stop unjust tuition
increases. If they fail to do so, they will be trashed like what
the students did to the armchairs.
What is the implication of this typical leftist rhetoric? Did
the Kabataan Party try to equate better access to education to free
access to education? Who will subsidize the tuition of these more
than 50,000 students? The government? The answer is NO! It is the
taxpayers who are paying for every centavo spent on every student
of every state university in the country.
Now the Kabataan Party calls on the next administration to
allocate more budget and state spending for education and to put an
end to unjust school free increases. But who will pay for more
government spending? Who will be sacrificed to what the militant
students and their political appeasers call better access to
education? The taxpayers! It seems that these leftist organizations
and militant students feel that every penny that the government
wastes or spends comes from an infinite source of magical
wealth.
More government spending means higher budget deficits. There are
only four sources of government wealth: 1) tax money; 2) foreign
creditors; 3) printing of paper money; 4) foreign donations.
Like their communist elders, militant students are also wont to
making exaggerated claims and sensationalized data and information.
Contrary to their claim that PUP proposed to impose 2,000 percent
hike on incoming freshmen (not all students), the real figure is
1,567 percent.
University of the Philippines professor and economist Winnie
Monsod is not convinced that PUPs proposed hike is unreasonable. In
her commentary on QTV 11, Monsod said that the state universitys
plan was very reasonable. She said that the price of all items,
including that of educational services, has increased for the past
ten years, from 2000 to 2010.
Thankfully, Monsod commented on the student activists
irrational, hippyish and violent demonstrations, which resulted in
the destruction of the state universitys property worth P.5
million, including that of the CHEDs steel gate and other property
worth P.5 million.
Bringing it up to P200 is unreasonable only in the sense that if
tuition fees had been allowed to rise in tandem with the general
cost of living, the tuition fee should only be P189.90 instead of
the P200 per unit, she said, adding: If we take into account that
education costs had increased much faster than the general cost of
living.
I guess somebody should bother to do the arithmetic, the lady
economist said.
But the most alarming and disturbing aspect concerning the
violent student protests is not the degree of destruction done to
school property, but the level of communist indoctrination of the
youth and infiltration of our colleges and universities, both
public and private. What Im seeing here is not the physical damage
to school property but the destruction of the consciousness of the
youth.
But since the proposal was made during the height of the
campaign period, several politicians like vice-presidential
candidate Mar Roxas saw an opportunity to gain the support of young
voters by supposedly saving incoming freshmen from paying a higher
tuition rate.
Another incident took place at the University of the
Philippines, the top-funded state university by taxpayers money,
when
Radical student activism at UP. Photo credit:
http://www8.gmanews.tv/
radical student activists lobbed plastic bags containing green
paint at a school official who was supposed to attend a meeting on
the imposition of new fees. The school official, UP Los Baos
Chancellor Luis Rey Velasco, was deeply saddened over the radical
activism at UP.
Pasensya na po kayo kung ganyan talaga ang salita ng mga
estudyante ng UP ngayon. Nakakalungkot [We apologize for the
behavior of UP students. Its saddening], the school official told
reporters before leaving the area.
Communist infiltration of the countrys higher education
institutions is no longer a secret. In his speech at the University
of the Philippines-Diliman, Bayan Muna Rep. Satur Ocampo urged the
students to continue the communist revolutionary struggle.
[L]et me salute the thousands of activists today, the older and
the young, from UP and elsewhere who, with commitment, enthusiasm
and hope, carry on the revolutionary struggle shoulder to shoulder
with the masses through its multifarious ramifications, means and
methods and up to its highest form. Regardless of how some people,
or perhaps a good number of people, may view its continuing
relevance to our national life, or its prospects of succeeding in
its avowed goals, the national-democratic revolutionary movement is
undeniably alive. said Ocampo.
The message of Ocampo is very clear: He wanted UP to be the
center of neo-liberal terrain so as to bring back the old glory of
militant activism.
The continued rise of student activism is just one of the
destabilization goals of the Communist Party of the Philippines
(CPP). The communist planners clearly understand the role of the
youth in the revolutionary struggle.
Perhaps not all student activists or militants fully understand
what theyre wishing for. Their activist mantra better and free
access to education which is being lauded by socialist politicians
in Congress, does not belong to a semi-Republican society, but to a
socialist slave pen.
Education is not a right. A right means mans freedom of action
in a social context. It pertains only to human action,
specifically, to mans freedom of action. A person is not born with
a right to a trip to tour the countrys tourist destinations. A
person has no in-born, innate right to a dinner at Manila Hotel, or
a free cosmetic surgery at Belo Medical Clinic or a college degree
in Nursing or Medicine. Those who argue that every person in these
parts has the right to free education either do not understand the
proper concept of right or have sinister political agenda. We
cannot have such right to a better and free access to education
because the concept of individual rights in a free society does not
impose any obligation on other people. The only obligation or
responsibility of every individual is to leave his neighbor alone,
to not violate his rights, to not interfere with his private life.
We dont have a right to enslave the productive members of our
society.
Free access to education simply means socialized or highly
subsidized education. It means that someone has to immolated or
sacrificed to others. While students in private schools, colleges,
and universities pay the agreed amount of school fees, student
activists would like to be exempted from this obligation. I used
the word agreed since student consultation is required by the
government through the CHED before any tertiary school is permitted
to increase its tuition rate. If students activists demand
exemption, the question is: who would pay for their better and free
education? The taxpayers, of course.
In the Philippines, the most taxed and regulated by the
government (e.g., corporations, businesses, and other profitable
private entities and individuals) are being denounced by the
leftists and their new student recruits. While these socialist
ingrates call for more government spending on education, health
care and other public services, they blatantly vilify and call for
the enslavement of those who produce the goods and make wealth
possible.
The evil political ideology behind free access to education is
very clear: Socialism. Five to ten years from now, the young
leftists in our campuses would become part of our social system,
and they would be instrumental in the concretization of the
ideology they absorbed from their leftist professors and the
neo-liberal intellectuals. Our campuses are like a ticking time
bomb. Most of which, particularly the taxpayers-funded colleges and
universities, are a threat to our freedom and to the future of this
country.

Pathetic ka talaga. Why dont you go there and tell it to the
students of PUP? Preach your gospel where there are lots of people
not here where those living on the streets cannot read you. These
so-called communists are a hundred steps forward in reaching out to
them. How about you? Reaching out only to people within your
pathetic circle. And I doubt if theyre many. GO ahead. Proclaim
your gospel where these people you are heckling on your website
are. Youre too comfortable sitting on your couch and typing out
these words.
Kulang ka sa exposure dito. Panu na lang kung maging komunista
na ang Pilipinas? E di kawawa ka na? Lol.
