“The first one was in December 2018 when an internal memorandum by the PNP Intelligence Directorate ordered the conduct of profiling ACT members from both private and public schools. This was followed by internal instruction from DepEd asking for the list of ACT members in 2021,” the group said in a statement.
“There is no need for DepEd to collect the list of ACT members as it is DepEd that approves and implements the APDS every month. Such acts and measures seek to stigmatize ACT’s work, repress its advocacies, and restrict civic space from teachers and education workers who are critical of the government,” the group asserted.
According to ACT, these documents may be used against its members as it pointed out Education Secretary and Vice President Sara Duterte’s alleged involvement with “relentless and malicious red-tagging” of its members.
