The National Democratic Front Southern Mindanao slams the early politicking of the US-Aquino regime as demonstrated by its recent irresponsible, careless and clearly concocted announcement of terror threats in Davao City. Using as mouthpiece the AFP Eastern Mindanao Command, Benigno Aquino, III and his gang led by Mar Roxas have exposed themselves as having aligned their political interests for 2016 with that of the United States Imperialism. Not content with approving the highly irregular and grossly anti-people Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA), the puppet US-Aquino regime patently wants Davao City to be its war launch pad of the South—and be popular in the process, a popularity enough to translate into presidential votes.
Ipinatupad ni Aquino at ng pamunuan ng UP ang mas mashol at kontra-estudyantent patakarang Socialized Tuition Scheme na nagtaas ng matrikula sa pamantasan sa P1,500 kada yunit. Ang pagtaas ng matrikula sa Unibersidad ng Pilipinas at iba pang State Colleges and Universities (SUCs) sa bansa ay tulak ng mga neoliberal na patakaran sa edukasyon. Ang pamamayagpag ng STS, kasama ang iba pang patakaran tulad ng Academic Calendar Shift at K to 12 ay dapat suriin bilang bungkos na atake ng neoliberal na opensiba sa edukasyon at gayundin, atake sa oryentasyon ng kabataan bilang pwersa ng pagbabago at pag-asa ng bayan. Mito ng Sosyalisasyon Unang ipinatupad noong 1989, kasabay ng STFAP ang naging pagtaas ng matrikula sa pamantasan mula sa P40 kada yunit tungo sa P300 kada yunit.
