The land reform program is not the genuine code which peasants are asking for. It has plenty of loopholes which lead to more oppressing conditions for the peasants.”
So far, although there are many different splintered student groups under different names, they seem to echo the same general points and ideals.

Aware of the ascendancy of student power in the Philippines, the student leaders became very enthusiastic about forming a national organization that would more or less coordinate or consolidate the different activist organizations in the schools. On March 9, 1969, they formally ratified the general declaration which they called the Diliman Declaration. Since then they have adopted the campus as the initial battlefront. They also went beyond the campus by demonstrating against the fundamental issues concerning the ills afflicting the nation. They participated actively in the Boycott-the-Election movement. They also took interest in other major issues.

national democratic
The National Democracy movement (also called the National Democratic or ND movement) is a broad-based alliance of left-leaning progressive individuals and organizations seeking comprehensive social, economic, and political justice in the Philippines composed of landless peasants, urban and rural poor, indigenous peoples, oppressed religious minorities, activists, workers, youth, and students. The movement seeks to address what they consider to be the root causes of injustices affecting vulnerable and marginalized populations by confronting the "three basic problems" of 'semicolonialism', 'semifeudalism', and 'bureaucratic capitalism' (From an Anakbayan LA definition)

Propaganda Movement
There were two Propaganda Movements in the Philippines, the first was from 1872-1892, and its purpose was to develop the Philippines as a Spanish province, with Filipinos having a seat at the table so to speak, rather than a voiceless colony. It aimed to develop a unified Filipino national identity. It was led by the ilustrados, a group that valued intellectualism and respectability and parliamentary action over direct revolutionary action. The second Propaganda Movement took place in the 1960s, and took a much more radical approach, but with the same spirit of the original PM, in that it sought to retain a unified national Filipino identity in a country heavily taken over by Western culture and politics.

(From this point on, [the protests] were no longer about the oil price hike, but about the military forcing its way into the campus.)
Seemingly spontaneous explosions are triggered by a sudden change exacerbating a steep rise in social tensions/economic desperation, but are reinforced by other existing factors; uprisings do not come out of nowhere
