I’ve spent time in UP Diliman, and I grew up in a town in Bukidnon that experienced first hand an attack by the rebels. UP education doesn’t encourage forcefully ransacking a major fruit company and demand revolutionary taxes. UP fights for what is just, but not in that manner. They know better than that.
Not an expert but I’m sure in any military organization, government or rebellious, there is a chain of command. If we were to believe the DND’s judgement that NPA recruits students from UP, do the recruits take the lowest rank? Or do they take the rank of a commanding officer perhaps? Either way, what good would recruiting a smart, educated kid, untrained in the military ways, do for them in combat? Or is it because their idealism provides good leverage for indoctrinating them into taking up arms against government forces? I believe that UP students know better than that. They know better than to choose a life in the mountains with practically zero food and clothing, all to join operations that only involve ambushing a police/army convoy. What good does that do?. Would they give up their studies for that? Not it 15 billion years. Or am I missing something? It doesn’t make sense.
