Us UB students we are robbed by this John Smith Bookstore. We are not given freedom to use our own money. Books are expensive there. and most of the books for our courses are not available. A book which cost P250 is priced P650 with more than 200% profit. IT IS ENOUGH LETS STAND UP US STUDENTS. BOOK STORE MONOPOLY MUST FALL.

Seeing this kind of traction is exhausting but it proves I am not the only one feeling the weight of these prices. This momentum is the first real sign that we might actually force a change. I am drained from the fight but I am staying in it for the long haul.

R650 for a book that is 250 elsewhere is just robbery. fix this now.
