The faculty union and student council of the UP Baguio urged Mayor Benjamin Magalong to investigate cases of harassment during the quarantine that put its 19 to 22-year-old students in danger.

Soriano was among the UP Baguio resource speakers of the city council when it discussed the impact of a proposed tree-cutting moratorium during its July 13 regular session.

Magalong, chair of the Cordillera Peace and Order Council, assured the city’s human rights advocates that they were not the subjects of a January 2020 city council resolution declaring all violent extremists unwelcome in Baguio, including jihadists and members of New Peoples Army. “While Baguio was declared and considered safe for activists, Red-tagging still remains rampant and continues to pose a serious threat to groups and individuals,” said the letter. It was signed by Julie Tuguinay, chapter president of the All-UP Academic Employees Union, student council chair Leandro Enrico Ponce, Adrianne Paul Aniba who edits the campus newspaper Outcrop, and Council of Leaders chair Venice Nieva.

They also pointed out that the harassments preceded the passage of the new Anti-Terrorism Act, which has been challenged before the Supreme Court. The law took effect on Saturday .
