The Provisional Directorate of the Democratic Diliman Commune would like to express its fullest revolutionary solidarity and gratitude to all those who, whether members or not of national democratic organizations, gave their unselfish and most courageous participation and active support in the heroic defense of the Diliman Commune against the fascist military of the Marcos regime and its campus collaborators.
Your heroic resistance at the very risk of your lives will be a permanent witness to the now historic battle of Diliman. There is all the reason to be proud of this new tradition of revolutionary experience. The Battle of Diliman now proudly belongs to the rich revolutionary heritage of students beginning with the January 30 First Quarter Storm.
Within the university, however, we urge you to continue your vigilance against the impotent and reactionary Administration and its despicable hirelings who increasingly seek to discredit the heroic barricade resistance, who mouth fascist anti-student slogans (such as “radical fascism” and “terrorism”) purportedly in the name of a dubious “Silent Majority” and of the hypocritical dictum of “Law and Order.”
We call on you to continue your support for the revolutionary Press and Radio Free Diliman, and above all for the coming mass political actions to be initiated by the Directorate and other national democratic organizations.
CONSOLIDATE OUR RANKS AND PREPARE FOR NEWER TASKS! LONG LIVE THE HEROIC BATTLE OF DILIMAN AND ALL REVOLUTIONARY STUDENTS, FACULTY, UNIVERSITY PERSONNEL AND RESIDENTS! LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTIONARY DILIMAN COMMUNE!
