UNIVERSTY OF STO. TOMAS STUDENTS STAND FOR LIFE! Report by one of our reader, follwer and fellow Catholic Apologist Bro. Ian Joseph Riñon





Pro-lifers at the Tigers' and Falcons' Camps





Last July 19, the CBCP has launched two pro-life forums held at two
separate locations: the Adamson University for the laity, and the
University of Santo Tomas for the students. Both were successful, and
both were graced by pro-life Representatives--Rep. Roilo Golez for AdU
and Rep. Mitos Magsaysay for UST. Let me focus on the latter since it
was where I was....





The program was held at the UST Chapel. Aside from the host school,
which is UST, there were also delegations from St. Paul University
Manila and Quezon City, Lourdes School Quezon City, Colegio de San Juan
de Letran, St. Jude Academy, Cainta Catholic School, La Consolacion
College Pasig and Valenzuela, San Beda College, St. Mary's College of
Quezon City, Philippine Normal University, Assumption College Makati,
Technological University of the Philippines, Santa Catalina
College-Legarda, and though uncharacteristic, small delegations from
Ateneo and La Salle.






Aside from Rep. Magsaysay, the other speakers were Ate Renelyn Tan of
World Youth Alliance and Prof. Richard Pazcougin of the UST Center for
Campus Ministry.






Sir Raymond Bandril gives you

the rest of the report, while Ma'am Diana Uichanco reports the Adamson forum.


The Varsitarian also has an article about this.





These are some of the pictures of the events that happened at UST. The rest can be shown

Take note of the vestments: a
stole and a cope. That means, it's a paraliturgical celebration, not a
Mass since the priest must wear a chasuble in order to celebrate the
Holy Eucharist. 




















The guy in green with a scarf near the center is my Pro-life friend.... :) 















Thomasian reinforcements.... Sweet.... 










Thomasians avoid passing through
the Arch of the Centuries because of a prevailing urban legend. But
students of other schools don't care about it just to get to España. 















The Legion of Life in formation. Find me in the crowd! hahahahaha 






























Good thing these guys never hesitated to smile at the camera.... ^_^




And after
that, a number of Thomasians have started flooding the CBCP for Life
Page with their statements. (and I guess, these are the new set of
students handled by Prof. Agui Jalin, mostly from the Faculty of Arts
and Letters) This is what I posted: 









"WOW!
Another batch of Thomasians standing for life! The Artlets (colloquial
term for AB students in UST) have represented, We want to hear from
other Colleges as well! GO USTE!" 





Congratulations to everyone!






And, yeah. The people on the other side are not happy about this.








TIGERS! ON THE DEFENSE! NOW!
