Parents, teachers back AFP's presence in schools

From the Philippine Information Agency (Sep 11, 2019): Parents, teachers back AFP's presence in schools (By 3rd Special Forces Battalion, PA)

TANDAG CITY, Surigao del Sur -- Contrary to the malicious statements of the leftist groups, the schools in the provinces of Agusan and Surigao del Sur have welcomed the 3rd Special Forces (Arrowhead) Battalion (3SFBn) in their school grounds for the conduct of an information drive to the students. Dubbed as “Ugnayan sa Paaralan,” the 3SFBn conducted a symposium to the following schools: Marihatag High School, Antipolo National High School, San Isidro National High School and Cresencio S. Lago High School, all in the municipality of Marihatag held last Sept. 5, 2019.


The discussions focused mainly on nationalism, positive activism, good manners, respect to elders and other values-based topics. The series of 'ugnayan sa paaralan' symposium started since the outbreak of youth activists’ disappearance allegedly caused by the political groups.



Lt. Col. Joey Baybayan, Commanding Officer of the 3SFBN, expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the education officials, parents and students for the trust and confidence.

“I am thankful because of the way they look up to us but I think teachers and parents are also our heroes because of their unconditional love. They will do whatever it takes to protect their children. Likewise, we will exhaust all peaceful means to protect them from being recruited by these Communist NPA Terrorists,” Col. Baybayan said.

The 3SFBn’s massive information drive is still ongoing and school partnership and coordination become more frequent as part of the preparatory activities of the upcoming Youth Leadership Summit before the year ends. (Lt. Krisjuper ANdreo Punsalan, 3rd SFBn-CMO/PIA-Surigao del Sur)
