UP accord terminated to protect Filipinos vs 'enemies of the state' – Lorenzana enablePagination: false FILE PHOTO Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, January 19) — Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana on Tuesday justified the Duterte administration's decision to abruptly end the Department of National Defense's agreement with the University of the Philippines that prohibits the entry of state forces in its campuses without prior notice. He claimed the three-decade old agreement accorded to UP out of courtesy is now obsolete because there is a need to protect the majority of Filipinos against a university that has become a "breeding ground" of groups with extremist beliefs to recruit students to go against the government.
