The Duterte administration's unilateral termination of the UP-DND deal is clearly meant to silence the government's critics, Vice President lenirobredo says

— Vice President Leni Robredo, several lawmakers, and progressive youth groups denounced the Department of National Defense's decision to abrogate its three-decade agreement with the University of the Philippines that bars uniformed personnel from entering UP campuses without notifying school officials.

Senator Francis Pangilinan, a former UP Diliman University Student Council chairperson, emphasized the historical significance of the Enrile-Soto accord which was signed in 1989 to prevent student activists in the campus from being arrested. Former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV, now a professor at the UP Diliman National College of Public Administration and Governance, said the government’s act to terminate the pact can worsen the insurgency problem that has existed since the rule of dictator, former president Ferdinand Marcos.

“Sa kasalukuyan, ang kinakaharap ng mga kabataang estudyante ay hindi nalalayo sa hinarap ng LFS noong rehimeng Marcos. Nasa tungkulin natin bilang mga kabataang estudyante na tumindig at ipaglaban ang karapatan ng mga mamamayang Pilipino,” the group said in a video statement.
