“The blatant attacks against ACT Philippines are systematic and recurring under the ongoing anti-insurgency efforts of the states’ military agency,” ACT said.
The said memorandums, which ACT suspected as “profiling operations,” did not explain the purpose of the department’s request. “One particular scenario is that the principal called on the faculty club president and told them to list down the names [of those affiliated with ACT],” Basilio said. Basilio also said members of the group had experienced harassment and intimidation, so when the DepEd memo came out, the teachers were immediately worried.
