DILG, UP agree to review 1992 accord

The decision was reached at the end of an hour-long meeting at the Philippine National Police (PNP) headquarters at Camp Crame in Quezon City.

Present during the meeting were UP president Danilo Concepcion and chancellor Fidel Nemenzo.

DILG spokesman Under secretary Jonathan Malaya described the meeting as cordial, adding that both sides agreed to create a technical working group (TWG) that will review provisions of the accord.

“We have two options, amend the UP-DILG agreement or create a new agreement,” Malaya said in a phone interview.

Malaya said there are some provisions of the agreement which are “unconstitutional” but stopped short of mentioning them.

Both sides agreed that some parts of the accord are no longer applicable, stressing the need to beef up security presence on university campuses, particularly at UP Diliman in Quezon City where commercial establishments have sprouted in the past years, making it a target for criminals.
