STAND UP

In 1996, the Student Alliance for the Advancement of Democratic Rights in UP or STAND UP, was founded to revive the original pro-student and pro-people spirit of the SAMASA or Sandigan ng Mag-aaral para sa Sambayanan.

STAND UP has always been at the forefront of the struggles of the students and the people. It was the first alliance to call for the ouster of corrupt ex-President Joseph Estrada in 1999, and Gloria Arroyo in 2004. As of present, it is the only student alliance in UP Diliman which has joined the national youth coalition against corruption, the YOUTH ACT NOW!.

It is also the only Alliance in UP Diliman to consistently oppose the series of UP budget cuts from 2000 to 2005, commercialization schemes such as laboratory and dorm fee increases, and the Tuition and Other Fee Increases in 2006.

STAND UP is guided by the basic principle of EDUCATION IS A RIGHT and advocates a NATIONALIST,SCIENTIFIC, and MASS ORIENTED educational system over the present COMMERCIALIZED, COLONIAL and FASCISTIC system.
