BAYOMBONG, Nueva Vizcaya, March 10 (PIA) - Officials of the Provincial Task Force-End Local Communist Armed Conflict (TF-ELCAC) yesterday urged the management of State Colleges and Universities (SUCs) and private schools here be vigilant on the presence of left-leaning organizations preying on youth leaders and ordinary students to further their anti-government agenda.
This was made during the joint meeting of the Provincial Peace and Order Council (PPOC), Provincial Anti-Drug Abuse Council (PADAC) and PTF-ELCAC meeting at the Nueva Vizcaya Pasalubong Center in this town.
Lawyer Voltaire Garcia, Provincial Legal Officer said there is a need to bring the issue on the level of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), considering that it involves academic freedom.
“Although we cannot directly compel SUCs to easily prohibit these activities and also our students to refrain from joining because of academic freedom, we will take the challenge to address this through our membership with the PTF-ELCAC, in coordination with otehr agencies, ” he said.
