Students protest during Sandro Marcos' turn as speaker of CHED- Cordillera forum


Wazzup Pilipinas!?

Several students protested against historical revisionism during the Commission on Higher Education Cordillera office Student Congress that featured Sandro Marcos as speaker.

The two-day forum was held to cover the educational concerns of college students. Sandro was invited to speak on “Redefining the Role of Youth in Nation Building.”

The students who joined the CHED-Cordillera forum changed their names when it was Sandro Marcos' turn to talk.

Some participants abruptly changed their names to “Never Again”, “#MarcosMagnanakaw”, and “Archimedes Trajano” in the middle of the session to push back any attempts to revise it..

Akbayan Youth chairperson RJ Naguit, who tweeted these photos of the online protest, said Sandro is "neither a representative of the youth nor has the credibility to talk about nation building."

"It’s disappointing that the Commission on Higher Education provided a platform to this junior dictator whose only interest is to rehabilitate their family’s political power," Naguit added.


The audacity of Sandro Marcos to talk about youth empowerment when in fact, his family killed a generation of young intellectuals and leaders.


Sandro recently revealed his bid to run for the congressional post of Ilocos Norte's first district in the 2022 elections. Meanwhile, his father Bongbong Marcos announced that he will run for president.

Mabuhay ang kabataan na marunong magbigay ng respeto sa karapat-dapat lamang!

Why did CHEd get him as speaker in the first place? Inviting Sandro Marcos was a very wrong move on the part of CHED to begin with. Educator ba siya? The students' reaction is inevitable.

What is there that he can contribute to the youth? I’m no longer expecting extraordinary but at least something basic like any other youth.  What an insult! The students had to endure another Marcos talk hypocrisy. Si Sandro dapat ang makinig sa mga students.


If someone would dare argue that Sandro Marcos doesn't have anything to do with the atrocities his family committed, let me remind you that even he keeps denying what his family did.

First of all he carries "Marcos" which means inenjoy niya yung pera ng mga Pilipino. Whatever comfortable life he has now is due to all of the Filipino taxpayers' money.

Now do we just accept the fact that he should be exempted because he was not born that time and he's a kid?

No. He has social media. The internet is working. He could've used those channels to educate himself, but he turned his eyes off. He's a grown ass man who decided to shrug it off.

He could've rejected the speakership invite instead he accepted it and used the platform to glorify his family stuff.

He knows what he's doing. He is fully aware of his family's agenda. He could've addressed his family's atrocities but just like BBM he denies it. Even if he was not born that time, by how his father denies what he witnessed means that he tells his son there's nothing wrong.
