Title Tuloy ang Kalbaryo UP Diliman Faculty Decry Lack of Space 10 Y
Years After Rizal Hall Blaze

As educators and professionals in the field of education, we often take for
for granted the importance of a dedicated workspace. However, for faculty m
members from the University of the Philippines Diliman's English and Compar
Comparative Literature Department, the reality is far from ideal. Ten years
years have passed since the devastating Rizal Hall blaze, yet the lack of s
suitable space remains a pressing concern.

Decrying the Situation A Call to Action

The intersection of Roxas Avenue and A. Roces Street on campus has become a
an impromptu office for these dedicated educators. With desks and chairs sc
scattered along the pavement, it's clear that they're not ones to shy away 
from a challenge. However, as the phrase tuloy ang kalbaryo suggests – wh
which translates to the suffering continues – their plight is far from ov
over.

The Rizal Hall blaze in 2016 left the department without a dedicated space 
to call their own. Since then, faculty members have been forced to adapt, m
making do with makeshift arrangements and shared facilities. The lack of a 
proper workspace has undoubtedly disrupted their ability to effectively tea
teach and conduct research.

As professionals in the field of education, it's essential that we recogniz
recognize the importance of providing our educators with the resources they
they need to thrive. Decrying the situation is not enough; concrete action 
must be taken to address this issue and provide a suitable space for facult
faculty members to work and collaborate.

The Power of Protest A Testament to Resilience

By taking their desks to the pavement, these faculty members are sending a 
powerful message they will no longer be silenced by the lack of space. The
Their protest is not only a cry for help but also a testament to their dedi
dedication and resilience in the face of adversity.

As we continue to navigate the complexities of education, it's essential th
that we prioritize the needs of our educators. By decrying the situation an
and calling for change, we can work towards creating a more equitable and p
productive environment for all. For the faculty members from UP Diliman's E
English and Comparative Literature Department, the time is now to demand be
better – and with their protest, they're taking the first step towards a br
brighter future.

Enjoy the little things in life. For one day, you may look back and realize they were the big things. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
