Kabataan Party-list second nominee Paolo Echavez joined students from various universities in Cebu City on March 17 as they staged a walkout to protest budget cuts in state universities, rising tuition, and repressive school policies.
Echavez also emphasized their demand for former President Rodrigo Duterte's arrest and conviction, Vice President Sara Duterte's impeachment, and President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s accountability, stressing that these calls were tied to broader issues affecting the education sector and student rights.
