Youth Group Slams ISAFP Harassment of PCU Student Leader

Noong panahon ko sa PCU, madalas din ang harassment sa mga tibak. Pero mukhang mas matindi ngayon.

Noong nakaraang May 2007 Election, hinarass din ang isang PCU Student leader na si Rico. Isa sya sa mga nominee ng Kabataan Party. Ngayon naman, si Glaiza (PCU Student Council President) naman ang hina-harass.

Dalawang beses ko pa lang nakikita si Glaiza. Una ay noong alumni homecoming ng Samasa Party bago ang student council election, ilang buwan na ang nakakaraan. Pangalawa ay noong victory party ng Samasa, kasabay ng anibersaryo ng KM-64 sa Conspiracy Bar.

Bata pa si Glaiza at napakaamo ng kanyang mukha. Pero kapag humawak na sya ng mikropono para magsalita sa mga mob o mga pagtitipon ay talaga namang militante at matalas ang dating.

At ngayon, diumano'y nasa order of battle daw ng militar.

The TANGGULAN Youth Network of Civil Liberties and Human Rights condemned what it described as the “continuous harassment” experienced by Glaiza T. Dimapilis, 19, incoming student government president at the Philippine Christian University (PCU), from elements of the government's military intelligence agency.

In a May 10 press conference, Biyaya Quizon, Student Christian Movement of the Philippines chairperson and TANGGULAN convener, demanded that the military stop its “harassment” of student leaders and called on the government to stop its counter-insurgency operations in the campuses in Metro Manila and nationwide.

"The government is undoubtedly wary of the opening of classes and the harassment of student activists is part of its preparation to avert the protests and student mobilizations in the coming months that will build up toward the State of the Nation Address of Arroyo in July," Biyaya said.

Dimapilis and her friends reported to TANGGULAN on May 9, that she had been stalked by an agent of the Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (ISAFP) for two consecutive days starting May 7

Worried for her safety, Dimapilis’ parents moved her from their house to a relative's house on May 9, after the same intelligence agent went to their house located in Barangay (village) Villamor near the Philippine Air Force’s (PAF) Villamor Airbase, and tried to convince them to "turn over" their daughter to Camp Crame.
