Duterte to UP students who ‘walkout’ of classes to join rally: Sa kalye nalang kayo, ipalit ko ang mga bright lumad sa inyo

President Rodrigo Duterte has had enough with the students from the University of the Philippines who chose to ‘walkout’ of their classes than to study.

He warned that he would replace the students who joined the ‘walkout’ protest against the current government and urged the people to overthrow him with Lumads who wanted a good education.

In a speech at the indigenous people’s summit in Davao City, President Rodrigo Duterte said that he would give the slots of the student rallyists to the bright lumads who didn’t have the opportunity or funds to study in a prestigious school like University of the Philippines.

Lumads are the indigenous people in Mindanao who had lack of access in good education.

9 out of 10 Lumad children have no access to education, however 233 alternative schools were provided to give education to them.

“Etong mga U.P students na ito na laging nag wo-walkout, kanina nag walkout nanaman sila. Okay, doon sa mga ayaw pumasok sa eskwela, umalis kayo diyan dahil ipapalit ko sa inyo ang mga bright lumads. Tulungan ko silang makapag enroll diyan sa U.P. Madaming Filipino ang gusto ng magandang edukasyon,” President Duterte said.

“So sa mga mga pinagpapatuloy ang pag po-protesta, wag kayong mag walkout sa room niyo. Bibigyan ko kayo ng pribilehiyo, wag na kayong pumasok sa eskwela ng isang taon dahil ipapasok ko diyan yung mga Filipino na gusto ng magandang edukasyon. Libre diyan,” he added.

Instead of wasting their time in school, President Rodrigo Duterte urged the student activists to stay in the streets and gave chance to the Filipinos who really wanted to study in U.P than to be busy in joining demonstrations against the government.

“Diyan nalang kayo sa kalye. Go ahead! Dahil kukuha ako ng mga bago (estudyante), ilalagay ko sila diyan. Pera naman yan ng bayan,” Duterte said.

Some students from UP-Diliman walked out of their classes as protest against the policies of the government including Martial Law in Mindanao, War against illegal drugs and Federalism.

They called President Rodrigo Duterte a ‘fascist’ and ‘dictator’

“In this part of Philippine history, we no longer fear the looming dictatorship of the US-Duterte regime–for it is already happening today. In this time of oppression, silence is akin to allegiance to the oppressors. Tomorrow, we walk out from our classes and we will topple this dictatorship!” UP Office of the Student Regent Facebook page said in their post, one day before the protest.

U.P Students also labeled the current government as “Duterte-US regime.” despite of the fact that the current President criticized the longest ally of the Philippines several times and keep praising China and Russia.

“Dapat Duterte-Russia-China regime,” one netizen told the activists on Facebook.

On February 23, Anakbayan urged the people to join the ‘Pambansang Walkout laban sa pahirap at pasistang diktadurang US-Duterte’.

The University of the Philippines has the highest financial endowment of all educational institutions in the Philippines.

UP students are known for being critic against the government and leading demonstrations to oppose the policies that they don’t like...

That is why critics stereotyped the University of the Philippines as a ‘training grounds for the communists rebels’.

Organizers of the said protest is not yet commenting on the statement of President Duterte.
