In a time when accessible education remains a pressing concern, JPEG Garcia's vision of fighting for free and accessible education is aligned perfectly with our mission. The University of the Philippines has always been a vanguard of critical thinking, inclusivity, and free speech. Garcia's commitment to ensuring a nationalist, scientific, and mass-oriented education embodies this legacy, and his resolute stand against continuous budget cuts speaks to his determination to secure adequate resources for the UP community's needs. Furthermore, the Council believes that his advocacy for genuine student representation in decision-making processes echoes our own pursuit of empowering the student body. Garcia's plan to unite the UP community against the railroading of mandatory ROTC is a testament to his dedication to safeguarding our democratic rights and welfare. One of the most significant aspects of Garcia's candidacy is his commitment to addressing community concerns, particularly those faced by marginalized sectors. His determination to amplify the calls for a just and lasting peace in the country aligns with our conviction that UP's role transcends academia—it also encompasses societal development and the upliftment of the oppressed. Garcia's stance against the current administration's potential abuses and advances echoes our unwavering commitment to resist any oppressive regime. His call to stand against a fascist, abusive Marcos-Duterte regime resonates deeply with us and reaffirms our shared commitment to uphold the principles of justice and democracy. The CEAT Student Council stands firm and proudly supports the candidacy of John Peter Angelo "JPEG" Garcia for UP System 40th Student Regent. His vision, encompassing accessible education, community advocacy, and resistance against oppressive forces, aligns seamlessly with our core values. We firmly believe that his leadership will lead UP towards a brighter future, maintaining its rightful place as a bastion of critical thinking, inclusivity, and social progress. #SR40
