MANILA — A political science professor from the University of the Philippines Diliman said Monday the military and school authorities should talk in order to resolve the issue on red-tagging.

“Let us dialogue. Mabuti bumaba na ang tono ni [Defense Secretary Delfin] Lorenzana and he’s willing to talk to our school authorities. That is how it should be. And to repeat siguro, please start with the definition of terms,” Clarita Carlos told ABS-CBN's TeleRadyo.

“Who is a communist? What does it mean to red-tag somebody? Kasi kung sa definition of terms, wala na silang consensus ay hindi talaga maganda ‘yung patutunguhan niyan. ‘Yung trajectory talaga is burara,” she added.“Huwag na tayong magmayabang-mayabang, ‘yung mga nasa university, and talagang makipag-ugnayan tayo sa ating mga military. Some of them are UP graduates, mga estudyante ko ‘yan sa aking graduate courses.

“Fifty-four years na akong nagtuturo. Palagay niyo ba, may oras ako na alamin [kung] anong nangyari sa mga estudyante ko? Nagpunta sa bundok, naging senador, naging magnanakaw? Siyempre, hindi. Kaniya-kaniyang responsibilidad ‘yan,” Carlos said. “So, when they make a decision to the mountains and hold the guns and change society through the power of the guns, that is their decision. If they die in the process, let them die in the process because that is their decision.”

Military’s red-tagging of universities an assault on critical thinking, democracy —Ex-VP Binay'An assault on critical thinking and democracy' was how former vice president Jejomar 'Jojo' Binay described the military's red-tagging of several universities. Why not protect 'critical thinking and democracy' and the lives of our students at the same time? They're not mutually exclusive. If we are serious in perpetuating NPA recruitment, then we better pass a law to legalize it once and for all. No more gray areas, no more cover-ups. Eventually, the whole truth will come out. It's very hard to keep things completely 'secret' in today's digital age
