Cagayan de Oro City, MISAMIS ORIENTAL – Military men in fulll battle gear have been going from one house to another in different municipalities in Sorsogon City since last week in the pretext of conducting a survey among the communities. But according to people interviewed, what the military is conducting is a witchhunt and a campaign against MAKABAYAN Coalition and the progressive partylists Bayan Muna, Anakpawis, Gabriela, Kabataan and ACT.
“The move to close U.P. Cebu High School is an attack against the Iskolars ng Bayan. This means depriving the economically destitute but intellectually deserving students the access to quality yet affordable education. This reflects the ill priorities of the current administration that has given the bigger chunk of the budget to debt servicing instead of education and other basic social services.”
