Ginugunita ngayong ika-12 ng Hunyo ang Araw ng Kalayaan o ang pagdeklara sa ating kasarinlan mula sa tatlong siglong pagkakabigkis sa mga Kastila noong 1898. Subalit ang tunay na kalayaan ay hindi masusukat sa pagkakaroon ng sariling gobyerno lamang. ๐—›๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด๐—ด๐—ฎโ€™๐˜ ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ถ ๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฎ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ, ๐—ธ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ธ๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฃ๐—ถ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ผ, ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜‚๐—น๐—ผ๐˜† ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜†๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—บ๐—ด๐—ฎ ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ป๐—ฎ ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜ ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜†๐—ผ ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ป, ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜†๐—ฎ ๐—ฎ๐˜† ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ถ ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐˜๐˜‚๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ป๐—ฎ ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜†๐—ฎ. 128 taon na ang nakalipas simula nang pormal na iwagayway ang bandila ng Pilipinas, nagpupumiglas pa rin tayo para sa ating kasarinlan.

Noong nakaraang mga linggo, tila naging sarswela ang senado nang bastusin ng mga senator sa mayorya ang proseso at mga patakaran ng institusyon para sa pansariling benepisyo, mula sa pagkanlong at kinalaunang pagpapatakas sa puganteng si Sen. Bato Dela Rosa, hanggang sa kanilang pagpilit sa pagbabago ng patakaran para payagan ang remote voting kasabay ng pagkakaharap ng ilang senador sa mga reklamong may kinalaman sa korapsyon at sa nakaambang impeachment trial ni Vice President Sara Duterte. Sa ngayon, nahati na ang senado sa dalawang paksyon.

Habang tahimik ang presidente at bise-presidente sa kaguluhan, patuloy na naghihirap ang masang Pilipino. Sa katunayan, dahil sa pagpapalit ng liderato, naudlot ang hearing ng Committee on Agriculture, Food and Agrarian Reform noong ika-11 ng Mayo kung saan pag-uusapan sana ang kinakaharap na suliranin ng ating mga magsasaka. Muli pa itong naulit noong ika-1 ng Hunyo nang hindi sumipot sa plenaryo ang mga miyembro ng majority bloc, kasama na si Senate President Alan Cayetano, matapos arestuhin si Sen. Jinggoy Estrada. Nakatakdang talakayin dito ang proteksyon sa mga pasyenteng walang kapasidad para magbayad mula sa pagkaka-detain sa ospital, pagkakaroon ng Magna Carta for Barangay Health Workers, at Indigenous Peoples Rights Act of 1997.

Ipinapakita ng mga pangyayaring ito ang kawalan ng prayoridad sa tunay na mga isyung lumulugmok sa mga Pilipino. Ito ay lubhang nakababahala, lalo na sa kabila ng banta ng Super El Niรฑo, hindi pa tumitigil na giyera sa Middle East, at panghihimasok ng mga dayuhan sa bansa gaya ng pambabastos ng mga Israeli national sa Siargao at sa tinatayong AI hub ng Estados Unidos sa Tarlac. ๐— ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐˜„ ๐—ป๐—ฎ ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ถ ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฏ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜€๐—ฎ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜‚๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฎ ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—บ๐—ด๐—ฎ ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฎ๐˜‚๐—ฝ๐—ผ ๐˜€๐—ฎ ๐—ฝ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜๐—ผ, ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ธ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ธ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ฎ๐˜† ๐—ถ๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฏ๐—ถ๐—ฏ๐—ถ๐—น๐—ถ ๐—ผ ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ ๐˜€๐—ฎ ๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—น๐˜†๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ผ ๐—ป๐—ฎ ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฏ๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ฎ๐˜† ๐˜€๐—ฎ ๐—ธ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฎ ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ธ๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด๐˜†๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ป. Dagdag pa rito, ang kanilang pagkakaluklok ay ginagamit lamang upang panatilihin ang kapangyarihan sa kani-kanilang kampo at para hindi maagrabyado ang kani-kanilang negosyo.

Patunay ito na kahit na pormal na itinuturing na demokratikong bansa ang Pilipinas, ang kapangyarihan ay nasa kamay ng mga piling tao lamang. Binansagan sila ng sosyolohistang si C. Wright Mills bilang ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜๐—ฒ, o grupo ng magkakaugnay na makakapangyarihang tao na kumokontrol sa ibaโ€™t ibang institusyon kagaya na lamang ng gobyerno, ekonomiya, edukasyon, miliitar at midya. Nababalewala ng power elite ang demokrasya, lalo na ang proseso ng checks and balances sa gobyerno. Sa Pilipinas, ang mga politiko ay kalimitang mga malalaking negosyante o hindi naman kayaโ€™y parte ng dinastiyang politikal. Marami ang kanilang kapital at malawak din ang kanilang impluwensya buhat nito, kung kayaโ€™t madali nilang napapanatili ang kanilang kapangyarihan. Ang mas masama pa, sila ay nagiging tuta ng imperyalistang dayuhan, kung kayaโ€™t hanggang ngayon ay nakaasa pa rin tayo sa kanila at hindi nagkakaroon ng sariling industriya.

Hindi tunay na malaya at demokratiko ang Pilipinas kung patuloy na nagpapakatuta ang pamahalaan sa mga imperyalistang bansa at hanggaโ€™t ang iilan ang naghahari. ๐—ž๐—ฎ๐˜†๐—ฎ, ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ถโ€™๐˜ ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ฎ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—จ๐—ฃ๐—Ÿ๐—• ๐—ฆ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ด๐˜† ๐—ฆ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜† ๐˜€๐—ฎ ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ด๐˜€๐˜‚๐—น๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ ๐˜€๐—ฎ ๐—ธ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜†๐—ฎ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—บ๐—ด๐—ฎ ๐—ฃ๐—ถ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ผ. Nananawagan ang organisasyon para sa tunay na reporma sa lupa, pambansang industriyalisasyon, pagpapabasura sa Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) at Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA), at kamatayan sa imperyalismo! Aming kinokondena ang pagsasawalang-bahala ng gobyerno sa mga pangangailangan ng masa, sa kawalan ng pananagutan para sa mga kriminal na nananamantala sa kaban ng bayan, at sa walang kahiya-hiyang pangyuyurak sa dignidad at karapatan ng mga Pilipino!

Humaharap pa rin ang sangkabaklaang Pilipino ngayong ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ ๐— ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜๐—ต sa isang masalimuot na realidadโ€”nananatiling may bahid ng diskriminasyon, panghuhusga, at kakulangan sa ligal na proteksyon ang huwad na pagtanggap sa sangkabaklaan. Kaya naman, higit sa pagdiriwang ng dibersidad, mahalagang isipin ang Pride bilang isang pagkilos na pakay itaguyod ang pagkakapantay-pantay ng bawat mamamayan anuman ang kanilang uri at ari.

Hindi makakaila ang nakakaalarmang lebel ng diskriminasyon tungo sa komunidad ng LGBTQIA+. Natagpuang 74% sa kabataang sangkabaklaan ang humarap sa diskriminasyon habang 34% ang nakaranas ng pisikal na pananakit ayon sa pag-aaral ng The Trevor Project noong 2024.

Tripleng pasanin ang sistematikong karahasan sa sangkabaklaan para sa mga pinakabulnerable. Malinaw itong makikita sa kaso ni Jennifer Laude, isang transwoman na pinaslang ng U.S. Marine na si Joseph Scott Pemberton noong 2014 dahil sa kanyang kasarian. Siya ay biktima ng transmisogyny, kung saan ang p**t sa mga transwomen ay nag-uugat sa biyolohikal na reduksyonismo na nagtatatwa sa kanyang pagkababae dahil sa kanyang anatomiya. Pinalala pa ito ng kanyang estado bilang manggagawa, na naglimita sa kanyang akses sa hustisya laban sa mapang-aping pwersa ng dayuhang militar ng U.S. at sa iginawad na pardon sa kanyang mamamatay-tao noong 2020. Mahigit isang dekada ang nakalipas, patuloy ang ganitong mga krimen at apat na transwomen ang kumpirmadong pinatay sa bansa noong unang bahagi ng 2025. Ngunit, hindi lamang ito danas ng mga transwomen, sapagkat ibaโ€™t iba man ang anyo ng diskriminasyong kinahaharap ng sangkabaklaan, iisa ang ugat nito sa mga mapang-aping estrukturang pyudal-patriyarkal at heteronormatibo.

Dahil dito, kasama at hinding-hindi mahihiwalay ang iba't ibang sektor sa laban ng komunidad laban sa ganitong karumal-dumal na diskriminasyon at mga krimen.

Sa lenteng ito, ang homophobia at transphobia ay hindi hiwalay sa ibang suliraning panlipunan gaya ng kahirapan, patriyarka, ableism, kawalan ng lupa, at pagsasasantabi sa mga manggagawa. Dagdag pa rito ang konserbatibong kultura na dala ng relihiyon, na siyang nagbabansag sa mga miyembro ng komunidad bilang imoral at di-natural. Dahil dito, maraming LGBTQIA+ ang sumusupil sa kanilang identidad bunsod ng takot sa diskriminasyon na humahantong sa paglayo o pagpapalayas ng pamilya at komunidad, pagkawala ng kabuhayan, at maging karahasang pisikal at sikolohikal.

Buong pusong naniniwala ang organisasyon sa puso at kakayahan nina John Andre Alcala, Ehla Dichoso, at Justin Tulalian na magsilbi para sa sangkaestudyantehan ng CAS. Nananalig ang organisasyon na kanilang bibitbitin ang prinsipyong pagiging kritikal, dinamiko, at holistiko sa kanilang mga adhikain at gawa na siyang kanilang magiging sandigan bilang isang matibay na kinatawan, hindi lamang sa mag-aaral ng UPLB, kundi maging sa mas malawak na sektor ng komunidad sa unibersidad.

Kaakibat nito, buong tapang ding sinusuportahan ng UPLB Sociology Society ang ๐’๐€๐Š๐๐€๐˜๐€๐ bilang isang partido. Nananalig ang organisasyon sa lakas at prinsipyo ng SAKBAYAN na bitbitin ang kolektibong pagtauyod ng makatao at makatarungang pamumuno. Nananatiling katuwang ng SAKBAYAN ang UPLB Sociology Society sa walang-sawang pagsulong ng kapakanan ng sangkaestudyantehan, pakikibaka para sa pangangailangan ng mga batayang sektor, at pagsulong ng isang makatarungang lipunan.

Nasa ating mga kamay ang kapangyarihan upang maglulok ng mga lider na titindig para sa pagbabago at magseserbisyo para sa kapakanan ng mga estudyante. Kaya naman, buong lakas na inaanyayahan ng organisasyon ang lahat na makiisa sa darating na eleksyon at gamitin ang ating boto bilang boses para sa isang makatarungan at masiglang pamumuno!

C'mon and cha-cha-CHA with Cha! ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿชฉ

Before the day ends, we would like to sing a cheerful happy birthday to our darling Cha! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’› As you turn a year older, we hope that you continue to shine with passion and strength.

Now, let's give our resident members a CHA-nce to express their heartfelt messages:

๐Ÿ’Œ: "Hai Chacha q!! Happy happy birthday!, I know this sem had been much para sayo pero I always knew you could make it dahil bukod sa napakasipag mo, you always choose to push forward despite the several challenges you've faced. May you continue to inspire and be a good example to people. I just also want to let you know na andito lang ako at ng mga kaibigan mo pag nangangailangan ka. How I wish every second of my life na sabay tayo sasablay and I see that we are already in that direction. Ingat ka palagi and enjoy your day always!"

๐Ÿ’Œ: "Happy birthday, chaaa! Continue chasing those big goals and staying true to yourself. Itโ€™s been amazing to have you in our college life! Please, enjoy your day to the fullest, you deserve it! MWUAH!"

๐Ÿ’Œ: "Happiest birthday, dear Cha! I hope you are aware on how grateful I am for your thoughtfulness and friendship during my first years back in the university. Despite your doubts, I believe youโ€™re among the brightest and emphatic ones, and I wish that you strive more on not letting anyone nor anything dull your sparkle! Happy birthday and hope you enjoyed your special day!"
