UP student leaders back Robredo, Pangilinan candidacies
The UP Diliman University Student Council has officially endorsed the presidential and vice-presidential bid of Leni Robredo and Kiko Pangilinan through Resolution No. 2022-03.
This endorsement is rooted in a shared desire to defeat the Marcos-Duterte alliance and common ground on crucial people's issues.
UP Diliman's endorsement aligns with the stance of six other UP university student councils, including UP Los Baños (UPLB), which also backed the Robredo-Pangilinan tandem.
The UPLB USC also endorsed senatorial aspirants Teddy Baguilat, Neri Colmenares, Leila de Lima, Atty. Chel Diokno, Senator Risa Hontiveros, Elmer "Ka Bong" Labog, Alex Lacson, Atty. Sonny Matula, and Carmen Reyes-Zubiaga.
Both Robredo and Pangilinan are distinguished alumni of UP.
The student councils' decisions reflect the outcome of the UPVote results from the 2022 National Mock Election, where Robredo and Pangilinan were the student preference by an overwhelming majority.
