This, as Lorenzana himself admitted that there are some people who are negotiating for him and Concepcion to sit down and discuss the issue instead of issuing separate statements in both the traditional and social media.
On January 15, Lorenzana sent a letter to Concepcion informing the latter that the Department of National Defense has already cancelled its agreement with UP with regard to the access of soldiers inside UP campuses. In the letter, Lorenzana said the reason is that UP campuses have been the recruitment hubs of the New People’s Army and the agreement only prevented the military from protecting the students from being convinced by the rebels to take up arms against the government.
Lorenzana was initially cold on the dialogue and even demanded a reason why UP students ended up killed or captured by the military in anti-NPA operations. He also posted some statements in his social media accounts to justify the abrogation of the agreement.
