Cwm = Welsh term for an "icy slope"
Zena'na = Persian term for the inner apartments of a house in which the women of the Muslim/Hindu family live. The diagenesis of the UP CWM ZENAโ€™NA (UPCZ) began on January 17, 1980 of the Holocene Epoch, Quaternary Period by 17 female organisms interested and enthralled in Geology.

STATEMENT

Noong Abril 19, walang habas na pinaulanan ng bala ng 79th Infantry Batallion ng Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) ang Barangay Salamanca, Toboso, Negros Occidental kung saan halos 168 na pamilya at 653 na mga indibidwal ang napilitang magbakwit sa kanilang mga tahanan.

Kaugnay nito, ibinabalita ng UP Diliman University Student Council na isa sa mga nasawi ang ating kapwa Iskolar ng Bayan na si USC Councilor Alyssa Alano dahil sa pasistang atake at panunupil ng militar sa Negros.

Mariing kinukundena ng UP Diliman USC ang ginawang pagpatay ng AFP kay Alyssa na isang inosenteng sibilyan.

Lubos ding tinututulan ng UP Diliman USC ang karumaldumal at paulit-ulit na paglabag ng reaksyunaryong gobyerno at ng kanilang mga mersenaryo sa karapatang pantao ng mamamayan ng Negros at maging sa mga aktibistang sumasandig sa laban ng masang api.

Sa kasalukuyan, si Councilor Alano ang Education and Research Councilor ng USC UP Diliman.

Nakipamuhay at nakipag-aralan si Alyssa sa hanay ng mga kapatid nating magsasaka mula sa Negros upang alamin ang kanilang tunay na kalagayan sa harap ng pangangamkam sa lupa, pagsasamantala, at militarisasyon.

Nananatili ang Negros bilang isa sa mga rehiyong may pinakamatinding militarisasyon at paglabag ng karapatang pantao. Pinaigting ng Memorandum Order 32, na naglagay sa Negros sa โ€œState of Lawless Violenceโ€, ang pagtaas ng presensya at operasyong militar sa rehiyon.

Walang habas ang mga mersenaryo sa pangangamkam ng lupa at pananamantala. Tumitindi ang pandarahas, pandadakip, at pagpatay ng mga magsasakang Negrense.

Nakita at naintindihan ni Councilor Alano ang kahalagahan sa paggamit ng kaniyang talino at lakas upang ipaglaban ang mga karapatan ng mga estudyante at batayang sektor, lalo sa pagtindi ng krisis sa ekonomiya.

Si Alyssa ay naging isang mahusay, masikhay, mapagmahal, at dakilang lider-estudyante at tunay na anak ng bayan.

Nagluluksa ang konseho at buong komunidad ng UP sa pagkawala ni Alyssa. Mahigpit ding nakikiramay ang konseho sa kanyang mga naiwang pamilya, kaibigan, at mahal sa buhay.

Buong tapang at buong pusong tinanggap ni Alyssa ang hamon sa bawat Iskolar ng Bayanโ€“ang paglingkuran ang sambayanan. Hinding-hindi natin siya malilimutan.

Nalulungkot ang buong konseho sa pangyayari, ngunit higit dito, pinipili ng UP Diliman USC na buong tapang at buong tatag na ipagpatuloy ang laban para sa hustisyang panlipunan at katarungan para sa lahat ng biktima ng pasismo ng kasalukuyang nabubulok na estado.

Hanggaโ€™t hindi nabibigyan ng solusyon ang ugat ng kahirapan, marami pa ang katulad ni Alyssa na handang pag-aralan ang lipunan at magiging handang ipaglaban ang isang lipunang malaya sa pagsasamantala. Hinding-hindi mapuputol ang diwa ni Alano sa malawak na hanay ng mga Iskolar ng Bayan na pahihigpitin pa lalo ang pagkakaisa para tuluyang magapi ang isang sistema ng lipunang mapang-api at mapagsamantala.

Iskolar ng Bayan, ipagpatuloy natin ang militanteng diwa ni Alyssa Alano!

Tumindig tayo, kasama ang bawat Iskolar ng Bayan, komunidad ng UP, at mamamayang Pilipino para sa tunay na kalayaan, katarungan, at hustisyang panlipunan!

Sumandig tayo sa laban ng mga magsasaka at lahat ng masang-api! Palakasin natin ang boses at pwersang yayanig sa sistemang mapang-api!

Alyssa, ang iyong buhay ay mananatiling isang maningning at matalas na tanglaw para sa bawat Iskolar ng Bayan, na patuloy na mangahas na makibaka at paglingkuran ang sambayanan!

Hustisya para kay Alyssa Alano!
Uphold International Humanitarian Law!
Militar sa Kanayunan, Palayasin!
Inutang na Dugo ng Pasistang Rehimen, Singilin, Singilin, Pagbayarin!
