Something’s brewing over at the Diliman Republic, if we’re to go by a recent photo uploaded on the Facebook Messenger app showing the UP Administration building partly shrouded in black cloth, apparently in reaction to the latest developments there.Our inbox yielded a press release dated April 10 with Dr. Maria Antonia N. Tanchuling, Dean of the UP College of Engineering as contact person, titled “Choice of UP Diliman chancellor challenged, UP President asked to explain.” Here’s what it said.

“The signatories noted the emerging pattern of choosing the country’s premiere university’s leadership: “Given the questions raised by the election, the concerned professors emeriti and faculty members urged President Jimenez to release the full report of the Search Committee, which he formed on 26 January, and to reveal his vote as well as to convince the other regents to do the same in the spirit of transparency and democratic governance.
