Lawmaker hits UP ‘bigoted hooligans’

Rep. Rodel Batocabe of party-list group Ako Bicol denounced yesterday the “bigoted hooligans” at the University of the Philippines who attacked Budget Secretary Florencio Abad after speaking at a forum on the budget last week. “As an alumnus of the UP school of economics, I am ashamed that within the bastion of academic freedom, there is a bigoted, misguided and intolerant minority that does not know how to respect the views of others,” he said. It was the student council of the UP school of economics that invited Abad.
