Lt. Gen. Antonio Parlade, Jr., spokesman of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC), recently claimed that PUP and several other universities in the country are being used by the NPA, the armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), as recruitment grounds.
In a Facebook live broadcast on Monday, Muhi said the university works hand-in-hand with the government in producing topnotch graduates.
“Uulitin ko na hindi tayo isang recruitment hub ng NPA (I will repeat that we are not a recruitment hub for the NPA),” he said.
