LOOK: The new semester at UP Diliman opened with a protest at Palma Hall, as the university community rallied against budget cuts, campus commercialization, and militarization under the Marcos-Duterte administration. The demonstration followed after President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. enacted the 2025 General Appropriations Act, which slashed P2.08 billion from the UP System’s budget. Students lamented that the budget cut would exacerbate shortages in course offerings, academic spaces, and fundamental student services.
