CEBU CITY, Philippines — The students and faculty organizations of the University of the Philippines Cebu (UP Cebu) expressed opposition to the proposed ordinance of Cebu City Councilor Jose
Lorenzo Abellanosa, which requires universities and other institutions of learning in the city to submit a list of their calendar of activities to the city police.
“Such a proposal is yet another attempt to curtail the academic freedom of institutions of learning which is enshrined in the 1987 Constitution,” he said, noting that the CCPO does not have any business storing academic calendars and checking on the academic activities of educational institutions. Likewise, Crystal Cimafranca, Student Council chairperson of the University of the Phillippines-Cebu, said they highly opposed the proposed ordinance as they believed that such ordinance would impose threats to the students’ academic freedom given their experience in the past.
