STATEMENT ON THE SHOOTING INCIDENT IN SAN JOSE NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

Tulong Kabataan Eastern Visayas grieves with the victims of the shooting incident in San Jose National High School in Tacloban City yesterday, June 22. We condemn the act of violence that claimed the lives of three students, and wounded 20 others. The victims are around the ages of 12-17 years old.

Two students who are both minors are the alleged offenders. Two fi****ms were retrieved from the incident, one of which was registered to a police officer from the Police Regional Office Eastern Visayas, and the other registered to a private security agency in Cebu City.

We call for a thorough investigation to clarify important questions towards justice and accountability. How did the children allegedly involved in the incident gain access to fi****ms? How did they learn how to use fi****ms? How were they able to enter school premises while carrying fi****ms? What are the systems and social conditions that influence children to harm their peers?

We stand in solidarity with the students and community of San Jose National High School who need support to be able to address the incident, ensure the safety of their school, and create conditions that are conducive for learning, and the development of children and youth.

This tragedy should not be used to promote laws, policies, and agenda, such as lowering the minimum age of criminal responsibility or increasing the presence of state forces in schools, that would undermine and harm children’s rights. We would like to reiterate the duty of institutions and communities to safeguard children, and uphold their rights. This incident should prompt us to reflect on and address social conditions that harm and put children at risk, and create communities that prioritize their safety and wellbeing. #

KUSINANG BAYAN CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS!

Sa mga nagdaang araw, patuloy ang hinaing ng mga tsuper sa Tacloban at karatig na munisipalidad dahil sa patuloy na pagtaas ng presyo ng langis. Marami sa kanila ang halos wala na kinikita, at ang ilan ay napipilitang magtipid upang may maiuwi lamang sa kanilang mga pamilya.

Ayon sa datos na nakalap ng Tulong Kabataan, umaabot na lamang sa humigit-kumulang ₱300 ang naiuuwi ng isang tsuper sa isang araw nang pamamasada, malayo kumpara sa kanilang kinikita noon.

Dahil dito maglulunsad ang Tulong Kabataan - Metro Tacloban kasama ang ibang organisasyon ng isang community kitchen para sa mga tsuper sa Robinsons Terminal, Marasbaras. Layunin nitong makapaghatid ng mainit na pagkain sa ating mga drayber.

Kaugnay nito inaanyayahan namin ang lahat ng kabataan na gusto sumama at maging bahagi nito. Ang bagay na ito ay hindi lamang tulong, kundi isang anyo ng pakikiisa at nating mga komyuter sa laban ng mga tsuper.

Sa mga nais magpaabot ng donasyon, bukas pa rin ang aming donation channels.

SA LABAN NG TSUPER KASAMA ANG KOMYUTER!

𝗧𝗞 𝗥𝗘𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧 | Relief Mission on Silago, Southern Leyte💧

“An tagsa-tagsa nga bulig nadako kun natitirok; waray guti nga pwersa kun tanan nagkakaurusa.”

Taos-puso naming kinikilala at pinasasalamatan ang lahat ng volunteers, donors, partners, at iba’t ibang organisasyon na tumugon sa panawagan ng kolektibong pagkilos at nagpakita ng kongkretong malasakit sa gitna ng sakuna. Sa pamamagitan ng inyong sama-samang lakas, suporta, at pagkilos, ang mga nalikom na donasyon ay matagumpay na naihatid sa ating mga kababayang lubhang naapektuhan sa Silago, Southern Leyte.

Umabot sa ₱59,891.00 ang kabuuang nalikom; isang patunay na kapag tayo ay nagkakaisa, nagiging mas malaki ang ating kakayahang tumulong sa kapwa. Ang bawat ambag, gaano man kaliit, ay nagsilbing malaking pag-asa at sandigan para sa mga pamilyang patuloy na bumabangon mula sa pinsalang idinulot ng sakuna.

Hindi natin ninanais na maulit pa ang ganitong trahedya tulad ng Bagyong Tino. Gayunpaman, pinaninindigan natin na sa gitna ng anumang sakuna, mananatiling buhay ang diwa ng pagkakaisa, malasakit, at kolektibong pagkilos—mga haliging nagbibigay-lakas sa ating mga komunidad sa panahon ng pagsubok.

Muli, taos-puso ang aming pasasalamat—mula sa amin at sa buong komunidad ng Silago. Ang tulong na ito ay hindi lamang naghatid ng agarang ginhawa, kundi nagbigay rin ng pag-asa, lakas ng loob, at paninindigang magpatuloy sa pagharap sa mga hamon ng kalikasan at ng buhay.
