An Update on “Speaking Out Re: Animusika”

So I’ve received from multiple sources such as USG itself and CSO as to why things happened the way they did. It turns out that USG has little to no say in whatever happens to Animusika. It all goes back to the DLSU Admin. The announcement that USG made were orders coming from SLIFE. The organizing team for Animusika this year was also different from last year, and a lot more disorganized at that, and that too is decided upon by the admin. They reduced the capacity of people allowed to go to animusika by 1k, but with persistence from USG, it got increased to 1500. The capacity limit is due to the many people who got hurt last year because of stampede. The thing about people not being allowed sa CADS is also admin. The various departments did everything they can to fix, clean up, and adjust to the financial end of UVMW’s mess. If it weren’t for them, a lot of artists, including sa Animo Pride couldn’t have entered. Additionally, the reason for the price increases for the other seating tiers such as VIP standing was because the admin last year floored the budget last year. They also massively cut the budget of all of USG’s units, including college governments.

So in reality, halos lahat, admin. They’re the ones we should be pressuring.

TLDR; USG is not entirely to blame, they’re also being held by their necks.
