LFS continued to grow and expand but during the late eighties, it declined due to errors like reformism, insurrectionism, and putschism. These crippled the organization.


In the early nineties, LFS activists studied the organization’s experiences and extracted lessons that are needed for the rectification of these mistakes.


Armed with the lessons of the past, and the unwavering commitment to advance the national democratic aspirations of the Filipino people, the League of Filipino Students (LFS), together with the Filipino masses, will continue to struggle for true liberation and a democracy which will genuinely serve the Filipino masses. 1
