Dear colleagues,

I write this letter to all of you – our Faculty, the core research and administrative staff of the school, our partners, and to our students – to share with you my thoughts on how we in the Ateneo School of Government (ASoG) should respond to the events that are rapidly unfolding in our country. This letter is intended principally to the immediate ASoG community although it will be posted in our website to facilitate its circulation.

At the outset, let me be very clear that I cannot and do not speak for the whole Ateneo de Manila University. I cannot and do not also speak for all of the faculty and staff of the ASoG.
