Bakit nga ba may UP-DND Accord? Noong June 16, 1989 ay naganap ang isang military operation sa UP Diliman Campus na nagresulta sa pagdukot at pag-aresto kay Donato Continente sa Vinzons Hall. Si Donat ay staff the Philippine Collegian. #DefendUP (cont)
Ayon kay Donat, sya ay nakaranas ng interogasyon at tortyur at pilit na pinaamin sa kasalanan na hind naman nya ginawa - ang pagpatay kay US Col. James Rowe ng JUSMAG. Si Donat ay nakulong nang 14 na taon at napalaya lamang matapos paikliin ng Korte Suprema ang kanyang sentensya.
Ang marahas na pagdukot at pag-aresto kay Donat sa campus ng UP ay nagbunsod ng diskusyon kaugnay ng kondukta ng police at military operations. Ang ganitong mga operayson at paglabag ay mga banta sa academic freedom ng UP.
Crucial in the context of the UP-DND accord is the case of Donato Continente, a staffer at the @phkule who was arrested on June 19, 1988 by the military and police at Vinzons Hall. This triggered discussions on the conduct of military ops on campus. #DefendUP
The UP-DND Accord laid down guidelines in the conduct of police and military operations so what happened to Donat in UP would not be repeated. You can read about his case and eventual release here philstar.com/headlines/2005…
Among the important provisions, AFP and PNP must notify the UP admin of military and police operations including the serving of search and arrest warrants. The military cannot just enter campus grounds at any time, unless there is an emergency or there is hot pursuit of suspects.
Cancelling the UP-DND accord will have the greatest impact on everybody's right to speak and to peaceably assemble. All throughout the lockdown, UP campuses (esp, Diliman) have been rallying points for the biggest assemblies against terrible governance and government policies.
Because police are explicitly barred from interfering with such protests in campus, they were relegated to the sidelines, preening by the checkpoints, making entry difficult.

...regulates it. It requires the DND to ask permission or at least notify the UP admin to conduct action within UP premises. Mind you, UP has its own "police force", the UP police plus its extension SSB personnel to maintain order in campus, so it's not all anarchy inside.
Ano ba yang Soto-Enrile Accord na yan?
1. Bawal ang militar/police operations o pumasok sa kahit anong UP Campus nang walang pahintulot ng Presidente, Chancy o nang Dean. Unless hot pursuit.
2. Any arrest of any UP student o personnel must be communicated to UP w/in 24 hours.

Following protests in UP campuses and threats to our students, there are now multiple reports of empty, duplicate, and fake accounts bearing the names of UP students.
These accounts are suspected to cause harm or spread false information. #DefendUP #StopTheAttacks

We are encouraging students to help each other in reporting these accounts and to stand together against tactics seeking to silence our voice. Stay safe everyone!
“DISCLAIMER: As much as we want to shutdown true duplicate accounts, please do exercise restraint against reporting possible real-life accounts of people having the same name as ours.”
