Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana should address the real reason behind the insurgency and not the accord between the Department of National Defense (DND) and the University of the Philippines (UP), former Solicitor General Florin Hilbay said.

THE military should punish its members who were behind the publication on social media of an unvetted list of people who are alleged members of the communist armed group New People’s Army (NPA), a senator said. “Apology is one thing, but taking action is another. If this goes unpunished,
kung walang managot dito, posibleng mangyari lang ito uli (if no one is made accountable, it’s possible that this will happen again),” Senator Francis N. Pangilinan said in a statement on Monday.
“Paulit-ulit na lang (It happens over and over again). Bad eggs should never be left unpunished,” he added, noting it was not the first time that the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) published an unsubstantiated list. The AFP on Sunday evening released an apology over inconsistencies in the “List of Students who joined the NPA (Died or Captured),”
