Last Tuesday, it was reported that a female UP student was raped by a still unidentified man inside the Diliman campus. The Quezon City Police District said the victim was approached by a man armed with a bladed weapon, and then raped her at a vacant lot near a baseball field along Ylanan Street last Saturday evening.This led Commission on Higher Education Chairperson Prospero de Vera III to ask UP to reexamine its security regulations, opening the possibility of operational engagement with PNP.
“This despicable criminal act is a wake-up call for [UP] to review and rationalize its security and safety policies, including its operational engagement with the Philippine National Police and other law enforcement agencies in order to make the UP Community safe and secure,” he said.But Kabataan alleged that the PNP and state forces have attacked the UP community in the past — making their presence supposedly more problematic.
It could be remembered that last January 2021, the past administration was heavily criticized for unilaterally abrogating the UP-Department of National Defense Accord, which required state forces to inform the UP administration before conducting counterinsurgency operations within the campus.
