ANAKBAYAN-CAVITE STATE U DENOUNCES RED-TAGGING

/ 28 January 2021

THE CAVITE chapter of Anakbayan group decried the inclusion of the Cavite State University in the list of schools that were allegedly the recruitment haven of the New People’s Army.

The group said the list released by the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict puts the students of the mentioned institutions at risk.

The group also slammed the intrusion of uniformed forces in CvSU and the silence of the university administration on the matter.

“Ang ganitong klase ng mapanganib na mga hakbang laban sa mga kabataang estudyante ay patuloy na nangyayari dahil sa panghihimasok ng Armed Forces of the Philippines sa loob ng pamantasan at pagsasawalang imik ng University president na si Dr. Robles ukol sa isyu na ito,” Anakbayan-CvSU said in a statement.

“Ngayong lantaran na ang red-tagging na ginagawa ng gobyerno sa Cavite State University at sa mga estudyante nito, hinahamon ng Anakbayan-CvSU ang administrasyon ng pamantasan at si Dr. Robles na protektahan ang mga ito at gumawa ng hakbang na poprotekta sa kapakanan ng kanilang mag estudyante,” it added.

The group also denounced the rampant red-tagging activities of state forces in institutions across the country.

The NTF-ELCAC released a list of 38 schools where the NPA allegedly conducted recruitment activities.
