Published January 20, 2021 10:07pm Many University of the Philippines students and alumni have turned to humor in response to the tagging of UP as a venue of clandestine recruitment into the Communist Party of the Philippines and the New People s Army. For example, OPM singer Dong Abay made a hilarious joke about his recruitment to the UP Maroons and winning the UAAP championship, poking fun at his resemblance to fellow alumnus Benjie Paras. The UP Mountaineers followed suit with their own funny quip, sharing on Facebook a poster which said, Namumundok talaga kami. Sama ka? Gusto mo ring mamundok? Wala naman kasing stigma at red-tagging dapat sa pamumundok, the caption read. We stand with the UP community in the call to uphold the 1989 UP-DND accord.
