The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Information Exchange apologized for its released list of UP Alumni who were allegedly involved in the recruitment of New People’s Army (NPA) members.
The AFP has immediately deleted its post of the list and issued an apology regarding the matter.
“We sincerely apologize for those who were inadvertently affected by inconsistencies regarding the List of Students who joined the NPA (died or captured) that was posted in the AFP Information Exchange Facebook account. That article has since been immediately taken down or deleted from our social media accounts.”
Several of the names publicized were lawyers of the university. The AFP stated that it is already conducting an internal investigation as to “how the list got published”.
It added that the personnel responsible for the post will be held accountable.
“We want to assure the public that we are now reviewing our processes and procedures to ensure that similar incidents will not happen again in the future,” the organization vowed. – PTV News
