Police, AFP presence in campuses needed to prevent U.S.-like school shootings – Galvez

"If a shooting happens in a school, you will call it a military failure, security failure. In the first place, you don't allow us to be there. Now, the security forces will look bad," said Galvez, himself a former military chief. Interior Secretary Eduardo Año, another retired military chief, also said he was looking into such a measure. In contrast, Presidential Spokesman Salvador Paneloon Tuesday to protest police and military presence in their campuses, saying it is"equivalent to martial law."

But Galvez also thinks police and military presence in campuses will deter communist recruitment among students.

kng yan basehan ang labo.

this man smoking some goodshit

?

There are more cases of police shooting the youth n police brutalities, ejks, than US style campus shootings! With duterte encouraging killings and albayalde just nodding his head we can't trust the police these days! pnppio odialbayalde

Ay meron pala...mga kagagawan ng MILITAR at PULIS sa mga lumad schools yun pala

Lol simula noong pinanganak ako wala akojg nabalitaan na mass school shooting dito sa pinas...huwag niyo kaming lokohin

I'm not against police visibility on campuses. Only sh.theads wouldn't want that. Pero Tang na namang ka inutil yan Galvez para sabihin mo pa yan. Knowing na di naman exixting yan dito. Di na ko magugulat kung anytime from now magkakaroon ng ganyan.

1. Walang history ng US style school shootings sa Pilipinas, 2. Unless you count cases of the PNP, AFP, and CAFGU shooting Lumad teachers in front of their students, bombing their schools, etc.

That's a lot of BS. It's just an excuse to crack down on student activism. The only 'mass shootings' in the Philippines are on Sunday TV.

The PNP and AFP are the one capable of executing such mass shootings and killings. i.e. Liangga Massacre in 2015 which killed 3 Lumad leaders of Alcadev; CAFGU firing shots at Obello Bay-ao leaving him dead; and the list goes on. DefendUniversities NoToMartialLaw

Utuuut. That’s it, that’s the entire thought.

isa na namang parrot ni dugong.

Rubbish!

💩💩💩

wala namang school shootings sa Pinas, na hindi state sponsored. only ze PNP and AFP have ze guts to kill or hurt PH students. Ex. Karen Empeño and Sherlyn Cadapan, Kian delos Santos. And ze list goes on. Wuf. 🐾🐾🐾

As if may tindahan ng assault rifles sa mga sari sari stores. 🙄

The government is grasping for straws.

Ipadala natin sila sa US school, at nan duon naman ang barilan. Parang OFW na PNP. Oh ayan Totong Galvez, parehas na tayong bobo mag isip ha. Apir!

Hey, don't make it sound like majority of the mass shootings internationally were staged by radical leftists when they were actually done by disturbed students and adults driven by personal motivations.

Di din masyado bright yan, ano?

This is really stupid. School shootings in the United States mostly involve one or two perpetrators. The PNP and AFP rationalize free access to schools on the misguided basis of leftist group membership.

Gun ban in the Philippines. We have our own constitution & unlike United States, we don’t have the 2nd Amendment - right to keep & bear arms. When will some Filipinos learn that this is the Philippines & we are no longer a colony of US.

Absolutely ridiculous, there have been no school shootings here as far as i've heard and once reports of 'potential threats' to schools start popping up, they would be no more than fear mongering tactics to justify their occupations of these institutions

Do we have history of school mass shooting?

May police station naman sa UP.

Scary, really... would we suddenly have mass school shootings, something we never had, to justify his statement?
