26 November 2012 DEAR FELLOW ISKOLAR NG BAYAN: Warm greetings of solidarity!

Months before the 2013 Midterm Election, as Iskolar ng Bayan, we must ensure that we will lead our fellow youth to proactively participate in an occasion where we can practice our right to vote and select the fittest and most credible leaders of our country. The election is a perfect time to manifest our demands to aspiring public servants. It is the time when we should scrutinize their motives if they are genuinely true to their goals or they are just merely an addition to the traditional politicians that only serve to particular groups. In this light, the University Student Council of UP Diliman (USC UP Diliman), through the leadership of the Education and Research Committee, and the University of the Philippines System Administration, through the UP Padayon: Eleksyon 2013, with the NCPAG Student Government, the UP Los Baos College of Development Communication Student Council, the UP Freshman Council, the UP Haring Ibon, the Alliance of Concerned Dormitories, the UP Debate Society, and the Philippine Collegian, together with the support of the Commision on Elections (COMELEC), will spearhead ANG PAGSUSURI: Pagkilatis sa susunod na mga Lingkod-Bayan. It is a series of convocations of invited Senatorial candidates for the 2013 Midterm Election. It shall serve as an avenue where Senatorial candidates will be given a chance to prove that they are worthy of the youths vote. Likewise, it shall also serve as an opportunity for students to scrutinize the candidates based on particular standards. This program is the initial project of TATAK BOTANTEs voter education thrust. ANG PAGSUSURI will be conducted through 4 convocations at the University of the Philippines Diliman [Specific venue TBA.]. Each convocation will feature 8 Senatorial candidates. DATE FOCAL DISCUSSION Convocation # 1 12 December 2012 The Electoral and Political System (Party-list System, Political Dynasties, Anti-Epal, etc.) Convocation # 2 10 January 2013 Peoples Issues (Labor, agrarian, mining, FOI, RH, Anti-Discrimination etc.) Convocation # 3 17 January 2013 Economic & Foreign Issues (Oil deregulation, Sin tax, territorial issues, Bangsamoro, Visiting Forces Agreement, etc.) Convocation # 4 31 January 2013 Students Issues (Education & Basic Social Services, Cybercrime Law, Students Rights and Welfare, etc.) In line with this, we are inviting your group to collaborate with us in this socially relevant endeavour. Our quest to attain adequate voters education will only materialize if we clinch various groups, especially within the student movement. Kindly read the attached concept paper for details regarding the project and terms of partnership.

PROJECT TITLE ANG PAGSUSURI: Pagkilatis sa susunod na mga Lingkod-Bayan EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Months before the 2013 Midterm Election, as Iskolar ng Bayan, we must ensure that we will lead our fellow youth to proactively participate in an occasion where we can practice our right to vote and select the fittest and most credible leaders of our country. The election is a perfect time to manifest our demands to aspiring public servants. It is during this time when we should scrutinize their motives if they are genuinely true to their goals or they are just merely an addition to the traditional politicians that only serve to particular groups. It is also this time when we can make the incumbent officials accountable by asking them why certain aspects were not attained. In this light, the University Student Council of UP Diliman (USC UP Diliman), through the leadership of the Education and Research Committee, and the University of the Philippines System Administration, through the UP Padayon: Eleksyon 2013, with the NCPAG Student Government, the UP Los Baos College of Development Communication Student Council, the UP Freshman Council, the UP Haring Ibon, the Alliance of Concerned Dormitories, the UP Debate Society, and the Philippine Collegian, will spearhead ANG PAGSUSURI: Pagkilatis sa susunod na mga Lingkod-Bayan. This is a series of convocations of students and other sectors with invited Senatorial candidates for the 2013 Midterm Election. It shall serve as an avenue where Senatorial candidates will be given a chance to prove that they are worthy of the youths vote. Likewise, it shall also serve as an opportunity for students to scrutinize the candidates based on particular standards. This series of convocations will be the initial project of TATAK BOTANTEs voter education thrust. It will be held in selected campuses of the University of the Philippines within the months of December 2012 to January 2013. *For specific details of the project, refer to Mechanics and Format of the project.
