The Lasallian Family Protest Action: Uphold Human Rights! Defend Democracy was staged at the St. La Salle Facade today, June 12, 2020, coinciding the 122nd year celebration of the Philippines’ Independence.

The group protests the call for civil liberties amidst the fast-tracking of the draconian Anti-Terrorism Bill of 2020. “It is our responsibility as a Lasallian family to unite and fight for our human rights and to defend democracy and sovereignty,” said the group’s statement on their Facebook page.

The protest schedule will start in the morning and will leave Taft for the Mañanita rally at UP Diliman in the afternoon.

The group urged supporters to brimg their familie, wearing of best clothes, and to bring their nationalist fervor.

“To ensure adherence to social distancing and other health and safety measures, only 10 people will be allowed in the DLSU – M campus at intervals of 15 mins. Attendees are advised to wait across Taft Ave. as the shifting happens.”
