MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The first ever batch of graduates with the newest degree offering at the University of the Philippines Manila received their diplomas this week at colorful commencement ceremonies at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC).

There were no latin honors. Everyone graduated with equal recognition for completing their Bachelor of Science in Civil Protest (BSCP).

The Iskolar ng Bayan (Scholars funded by Taxpayers) did not waste any time to show their mettle. They staged their first official civil protest complete with placards and banners — proof that the state university trained them well.

Expect to see the new degree holders soon in a rally near you.
