THE 10TH Infantry Division slammed the Save Our Schools (SOS) Network for posting a photo in its Facebook page last week showing soldiers in front of Paquibato Elementary School to support its propaganda.
In the post, the SOS Network accused the military of transforming the school grounds of Paquibato Elementary School “into a landing platform of their helicopter.”
The photo showed five soldiers in full battle gear smiling before the camera while a white helicopter can be seen in the background.
The SOS Network also cited Sec 22(e) of RA 7610, also known as the “Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act,” which states that “public infrastructure such as schools, hospitals and rural health units shall not be utilized for military purposes such as command posts, barracks, detachments, and supply depots.”
“This picture was taken during the flag raising ceremony in connection with the 2013 Independence Day Celebration in Paquibato District in Davao City,” said Maj.Gen Rafael Valencia, commander of 10ID.
The white helicopter, meanwhile, is being used by the city government.
“The soldiers were in Paquibato Elementary School not to put up command posts, barracks, detachments, or supply depots but participated in the flag raising ceremony in connection with the commemoration of the Philippine Independence at the said school together with other government officials and the people in the area,” explained Valencia.
“This is the kind of deception and manipulation that groups allied with the CPP-NPA like the Save Our Schools Network are foisting on the people and the whole world,” he added.
The post was taken down after the negative reactions from netizens, but the 10th ID was able to grab a screen shot of the post and shared it on its own Facebook page.
More commie disinformation targeting the Philippine military. The Save Our Schools Network is a Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) associated front organization.

SOS member organizations include a variety of known CPP front groups to include Salinlahi, Gabriela Alliance of Philippine Women, Gabriela Women's Party, Karapatan, Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT), ACT Teachers Party List, Children's Rehabilitation Center (CRC), Kalipunan ng mga Katutubong Mamamayan ng Pilipinas (KATRIBU), Rural Missionaries of the Philippines (RMP), and the Student Christian Movement of the Philippines (SCMP).
