Progressive youth group Kabataan party-list slammed the silent annulment of an accord between the Polytechnic University of the Philippines and the Department of National Defense that escaped the knowledge of the university’s community. | JMangaluzINQ
According to the KPL, the PUP-DND accord appeared to have been terminated shortly after the University of the Philippines’ accord ended, despite the protests of PUP students.
“Like a thief in the night, the past Duterte administration abrogated the accord without any intention of consulting or, worse, of even informing the PUP community of their decision and its consequences,” said the KPL. Similar to the UP accord, the PUP-DND accord mandated that before entering the university grounds, the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine National Police must have the school administration’s consent.“Mula sa kasaysayan ng pamantasan sa mga elemento ng estado, pinatunayan nito ang kapahamakan na dulot ng AFP-PNP sa buong komunidad.
“The abrogation of the two academic freedom accords long fought for and won by a generation of students is a betrayal of the memory of countless victims of human rights violations who merely expressed free ideas inside their university,” said KPL.“Iskolar ng bayan along with the Filipino youth continue to demand accountability and action from the Marcos Jr. administration to reinstate both the PUP and UP-DND accords. Academic freedom is non-negotiable.
