MANILA, Philippines – A group of militant educators, writers, and activists from the University of the Philippines (UP) launched a book chronicling the 100 years of activism at the state university.

The book, Serve the People: Ang Kasaysayan ng Radikal na Kilusan sa Unibersidad ng Pilipinas, is a compilation of essays on the radical movement and activism in UP from 1908-2008.

It is a project of militant teachers groups CONTEND and Alliance of Concerned Teachers, according to an article at the website of militant think tank IBON Foundation.

IBON said the book draws from the perspective of over 40 writers who became part of UP's colorful history of serving the people.

The essays include those written by martial law activist Antonio Tagamolila, Renato Constantino, Jose Maria Sison and Julieta de Lima, Rene Villanueva, Joi Barrios, Elmer A. Ordoņez, Luis Teodoro, Bonifacio P. Ilagan, Dante Ambrosio, and Elizabeth Principe, among others.

The book was edited by Bienvenido Lumbera, Judy Taguiwalo, Roland Tolentino, Ramon Guillermo, and Arnold Alamon.

It is also a compilation of commentaries, personal journeys, songs, poems, and images depicting UP's historical contribution to the people's movement.

Serve the People, published by IBON Books, portrays a true and meaningful commemoration of the University's Centennial Celebration and shows that activism in UP remains as potent and vibrant as ever, according to publisher IBON Books. - GMANews.TV
