Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana and University of the Philippines (UP) President Danilo Concepcion on Thursday met to discuss the Department of National Defense (DND)’s unilateral termination of their 1989 accord.
The dialogue was initiated by Commission on Higher Education chairman Prospero De Vera III in Quezon City.
“The dialogue afforded the key leaders the opportunity to discuss the way forward and possible areas of cooperation on how both institutions can promote their mutual aspirations to ensure a safe and secure environment conducive to learning,” the parties said in a joint statement.
