A representative of the student group Samahang Pilipino spoke to the Undergraduate Students Association Council during the Tuesday meeting's public comments.
Samahang Pilipino President Nick de Ocampo said that he wanted to highlight the contradictions made by the President's office regarding the fairness of programming allocations for student groups on campus.
De Ocampo, who was featured in the Daily Bruin earlier this week, said he wanted to speak out against the President's office again for taking $80,000 from budget surplus to fund its own "Concerts for Cash" series program.
"We felt that our legitimacy as an organization was attacked," de Ocampo said.
He said that it is not fair for the President Office's program to be favored over other student organizations by the council.
"We have lost more trust in the council," de Ocampo said. "I want the council to know about the trend of losing trust of the student population."
