Department of National Defense (DND) Secretary Delfin Lorenzana has accepted Presidential spokesman Harry Roque’s offer to broker talks with University of the Philippines (UP) President Danilo Concepcion on the termination of a 30-year-old agreement between the two parties.
Roque made the statement after he offered to facilitate a possible discussion between Lorenzana and Concepcion on the termination of the UP-DND accord that prohibits the uncoordinated entry of police and military to campuses.
