INITIATING COMMITTEE ON STUDENTS CONCERN (ICSC) University of Southern Mindanao Kabacan, North Cotabato MANIFESTO OF CONCERN We, the Initiating Committee on Students Concern (ICSC) is a group of concerned students who aims to rally and unite the students with the support of the community to advance student’s right and interest in USM. For about six months already, we have been the primary victims of the problems besetting USM brought about by some issues raised by some sectors against the highest official of the school, among others. Classes have been disrupted, students felt harassed and intimidated in getting to their classes, and to aggravate, some access to USM is denied by some parties! We, the students become both the unwilling tools and pawns among the protagonists. Don’t we have the right to pursue education free from anxiety and uncertainty that is caused by the warring parties? Our right to pursue education has been infringed! Our parents struggle hard to send us to school; hence, we demand not to hamper our right to education. It is one of our basic rights! We demand justice! While the students are the much affected by the disruption of classes in USM, other stakeholders are affected as well, like the faculty, staff, personnel and other workers in USM, drivers, vendors and others. Hence, we demand that the USM Board of Regents, Commission of Higher Education, Local and Provincial Governments must give immediate attention and INTERVENE to the problems in USM that curtailed our pursuit to rightful education! We call on our fellow students of USM NOT to wait for the resolution of the issues between the parties concerned to join us and demand for our right to resume our classes immediately. Up to when we are going to wait? WE SHOULD ACT NOW! 1. Students unite! 2. Resume the classes without further interruptions! 3. For the warring parties to resolve the issues with the least distractions to student’s classes! 4. Pursue the student’s right for quality education!
