Armed Forces of the Philippines spokesperson Brig. Gen. Edgard Arevalo said the deployment of police and military in schools is not tantamount to “militarization” and “curtailment of academic freedom.”“The entry in schools of members of the AFP will not be in the scale and magnitude of a combat deployment, what militarization?” he said in a statement.
“There is no curtailment of academic freedom because we do not intend to and will not intervene in the determination of what subjects to be taught, who will teach and how it will be taught,” Arevalo said. “But we draw the line between that of a valid exercise of such freedom and that of corrupting the minds of students – especially minors using a premeditated and systematic process of instilling hatred and indoctrination, taking advantage of their idealism and social imperfections – until they take up arms to overthrow government through rebellion or insurrection where many of them die,” the spokesperson said.
