CAGAYAN de Oro City Rep. Rufus Rodriguez on Monday urged the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) to scrap partnership agreements
“The CHED, particularly chairman Prospero de Vera, should cancel those partnerships. While we have been protesting against continuous Chinese aggression in the West Philippine Sea, here we have the CHED going the opposite direction by engaging with Chinese universities,” he said.
“We cannot do what Mr. de Vera and several of our universities have done or we will be sleeping with the enemy. I support the actions taken by our military. We cannot have a frenemy and a bully joining us in watching over our own backyard, on which it has encroached and it does not want to leave despite our repeated protestations and arbitral victory,” he stressed.
Rodriguez recently visited Seoul, South Korea together with members of the board of regents of the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines .
