Students From Top Universities To Lead Rally Vs Corruption

The Philippine Star

|

September 14, 2025

Students from the country's biggest universities are calling on the public to "flood Luneta" on Sept. 21 to march against rampant corruption in the government.

- By JOSE RODEL CLAPANO

Among the lead groups are Taumbayan Ayaw sa Magnanakaw at Abusado Network Alliance (TAMA NA), a network of organizations from schools around Taft Avenue, and the Panatang Luntian Coalition, a group of young environmentalists and various student councils. University of the Philippines Student Regent Dexter Clemente, one of the leaders of the walk-out protest of UP students on Friday, said: “We are absolutely and unapologetically outraged by the largescale thievery and shameless nepotism that is happening. We also see through the hyperpartisanship of the warring factions in power, the same traditional politicians who share the common DNA of corruption for personal gain.”
