About Me:
Center for Nationalist Studies
Ang aklat ng isang tunay na mag-aaral ay ang lipunang kanyang ginagalawan, ang kanyang guro ay ang mamamayan, at ang kanyang pagsusulit ay ang pagsasagawa ng mapagpalayang pagkilos.

The Challenge
The youth holds the key to the future.
In the coming years, we are expected to chart and design the destiny of this great nation not only for ourselves but for the entire people.
But must we sit idle waiting for that call to come? Doesn't the task of constructing the future begin with deconstructing the present? Today, do we not see exploitation, oppression, fraud, injustice, and other evils--- things which corrupt and destroy the present, and the future too if left unchecked?
Maybe we do. For are we not victims of over a hundred years of miseducation, where our ideas and conceptions of our long and glorious history, as well as our understanding of our current malaise, has been rewritten to suit the needs of neocolonial control and domination.
Today is indeed a grand time to unlearn, learn and relearn the various social conditions and historical contexts that would serve as our anchor and helm in the ongoing collective praxis to understand our past, present and future.
Let us not allow our academic requisites to prevent us from taking part in this momentous challenge.
Be open. Be brave.
Let not academics interfere with your learning.
The Response
The CENTER FOR NATIONALIST STUDIES is the reply of concerned University of the Philippines students to this challenge. It presents itself as an alternative medium for learning inside the university, radically different in style, form and content, from what the academe currently delivers.
Formed in 1982 under the auspices of the UP Diliman University Student Council, it started as an institution ran by scores of student organizations of various persuasion

Dagdag pa, "You have to be the change
you want to see in the world"
At tayo, bilang mga CNS ang
pagbabago na nais nating makita sa
mundo.
Wish ko lang mabuhay ako na makita
ang mga pagbabagong minimithi natin
sa ating lipunan. Ayokong mamatay
na "hindi nakikita ang bukang liwayway
na sumikat sa aking Inang bayan." Pero
kung mangyari man yon, nawa'y ang
mga makakakita ng bagong umagang
ito ay ipagdiwang at pahalagahan ito.
Naway wag rin nila kalimutan ang mga
nahimlay na nung gabi...

WONDERFUL PEOPLE^_^
to! Noon, ako ay isang starry-eyed,
innocent freshie na apathetic sa mga
nangyayari sa ating bansa.
Ngayon, well, freshie parin ako pero
wala na akong piring sa mata, may
muwang na, at nakikialam na sa mga
isyu na bumabagabag sa mga
mamamayan ng bansa.
Iba talaga dito sa CNS dahil marami
kang matututunang leksyon na wala sa
syllabus ng yong prof, makikilalang mga
kaibigan na lalong magmumulat sau, at
mapapaunlad mo ang mga talentong
meron ka.
Tulad ng sinasabi nila "The best
lessons are often learned outside the
classroom" ! Kaya "Let learning
interfere with your education"
CNS has helped me realize that there
are really things worth standing up for.
Siguro, kalahati ng buhay ko ang
mawawala sakin kung hindi ako
nakasali dito. Somehow life feels fuller
when you know you're fighting for what
you believe in. Salamat sa CNS dahil
tinulungan nito akong panindigan ang
pinaniniwalaan ko.
"Let the world
contracts alive and moving/They don't
have to burn books they just gotta
remove them/As arms warehouses fill as
fast as the cells/Rally round the family
with a pocketful of shells!"

kong hanpin ang sarili ko pero s CNS
ko lng nkita ang kabuluhan ng
pagiging isang tao.Pinkamalking
kontradiksyon ko ang relihiyon,pero
mas malawak ang tanaw ng
organisasyong
ito,mas noble kesa s anupamang
mga
perspektiba n naglalayon ding
makapagpabago s mundo tungo s
mas
magandang estado.Mahal ko ang
organisasyong ito,s pagmumulat s
akin n may tunay na pagkakamali ang
kasalukuyang sistema,n ang pag-upo
s
isang tabi ay nangangahulugan
lamang ng
kaduwagan,sabihin mang mali ang
mag-
resist at mag-protesta,ngunit sino nga
b ang nagtatakda ng mali sa ngayon?
.Ang worth ng buhay ay
di
masusukat s kung paano mo nagawa
ang
mga responsibilidad mo, kundiy kahit
may sakripisyo,natuto kang lumaban
para sa nakararami.

Diliman! Hehe. We've always been proud
of the Center for Nationalist Studies
because of its unique status as an
activist center. Palagi naming
pinagmamalaki ang mga nagpupunyaging
CNS members. Ako nga, ang pagiging
simpleng CNS member ang ipinagmamalaki
kong credentials dahil bago pa ako
napunta sa kung saan-saan, sa CNS ako
natutong mag-aral, magsaliksik,
pumanig, magsalita, makibaka! I'll
always make it a point to attend the
induction of new members to refresh my
insights on the views of budding social
activists. CNS, the best!
