The Duterte regime has started to roll-out the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC)’s Barangay Development Program (BDP).

It is on record that the University of the Philippines (UP) and the Department of National Defense (DND) entered into a pact in 1989 to govern the conduct of military and police operations in school campuses. It was to defend dissent and to allow protest actions rooted in the youth’s cry against societal injustices.
