CAGAYAN DE ORO — A public school head expressed her strong denunciation as she narrated the recent series of surveillance by alleged state agents to some teachers in Pitogo, Zamboanga del Sur.
“If they won’t stop red-tagging, profiling, tailing, harassing, and intimidating us, we will file a case,” Liza Idiang, chairperson of the Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) Zamboanga Peninsula Region, told Bulatlat in an interview.
The residence of another ACT Zamboanga Peninsula member in Pitogo, Idiang said, was also allegedly visited by state agents.

The teachers’ alliance called on the Department of Education to defend their teachers’ right to organize.
