Due to the 'critical low' numbers of the UP Diliman police, Vice Chancellor for Community Affairs Roehl Jamon said the university is now looking at several ways to improve security at the 493-hectare campus, which include the hiring of more personnel.
MANILA, Philippines — The University of the Philippines Diliman has vowed to scrutinize its lapses in campus security after an 18-year-old student was injured in a stabbing and robbery incident on campus late Monday.
"We will again review the lapses, propose necessary adjustments, possibly purchase equipment, and hire new personnel. And very importantly, inculcate within the community that security is everyone's responsibility," Jamon toldIn November 2022, the university's student paper, the Philippine Collegian, reported that the UP Diliman Police only had 19 members to man its 493-hectare campus.
Anonas police personnel were able to track down the suspects through closed-circuit television footage from Barangay UP campus. "We are looking at several solutions to address our security concerns. But as with any , this won't happen overnight," he added.
