(7 Nov 2021) More groups have condemned the decision of several state universities and colleges (SUCs) to remove reading materials deemed “subversive” from their libraries.
The Book Development Association of the Philippines (BDAP) said the banning of “subversive” books and literature from libraries was a “clear violation” of freedom in publishing and freedom of thought.
“To remove literature which explicitly accounts for Philippine radical thought, and other similar books, will raise a future generation that is ignorant and subservient,” the BDAP said in a statement issued late Saturday.
