University of
the Philippines Visayas (UPV) will not oblige to the request of removing from
their library reading materials and books considered as “subversive” by the
government’s anti-insurgency task force, saying “libraries are an extension of
academic freedom.”
“Sorry,
not a single Marxist book, or any similar or so-called ‘subversive’ material,
will be removed from UPV’s library collection. Baka dagdagan ko pa ’yan eh (We
might even add more),” UPV chancellor Clement Camposano said in a Facebook
post.
According to Camposano, is a “free marketplace of ideas.”

“Our
business in a university is to train and sharpen the minds of our students by
challenging and exposing them to the widest latitude of ideas to produce
intellectuals and reformers…,” Camposano told the Inquirer in a telephone
interview on Tuesday.
“When
we are afraid of books, then we have a problem,” said Camposano, who holds a
doctorate in anthropology and a master’s degree in political science.
Aklan State University
It was reported
last Sept. 24, the Aklan State University (ASU) in Banga town turned over
mostly donated books and pamphlets that it considered “subversive” to the
Regional Task Force to End Local Communists Armed Conflict (RTF-Elcac). The
books were pulled out from libraries in ASU’s five campuses.
These
include primers on the Comprehensive Agreement on Respect for Human Rights and
International Humanitarian Law, one of the agreements signed between the NDFP
and the government, and the document “The NDFP Declaration and Program of
Action for the Rights, Protection, and Welfare of Children.”
Also
included were copies of the “Foundation for Resuming the Philippine Revolution”
by CPP founding chair, Jose Maria Sison.In a statement, prosecutor Flosemer
Chris Gonzales, spokesperson for the RTF-Elcac in Western Visayas, commended
ASU “for their commitment to protect their faculty, personnel and students from
any and all forms of influence from the CPP-NPA terrorist organization and
their pseudo legal fronts.”
Gonzales
said the Aklan provincial police, with the support of the RTF-Elcac, “reached
out to ASU for them to turn over books that are not mentally healthy for
students.”
“Academic
freedom is always subject to control and supervision by the state when the
welfare of the people or overriding public welfare calls for it. We are at war
with terrorism and of course, our university officials exercising sound
discretion and good judgment can always decide for the welfare of their
students” he adds.
