By ANNA FELICIA BAJO, GMA News Published January 19, 2021 5:06pm Various student councils from the University of the Philippines denounced the move of the Department of National Defense to end its 31-year-old agreement with UP regarding the prohibition on the entry of police and military in its campuses. They maintained that the DND's decision was an attack on academic freedom as well as on freedom of speech. "This goes against the decades of the student and people's defense against the violation of our academic freedom, our right to study, speak, and investigate on social issues without the risk of political persecution and human rights violation," the UP Los Baños Student Council said.
