Senator Sonny Angara is pushing for the passage of a bill that seeks to put in place tighter security measures in all colleges and universities in the country.
Senate Bill 946 mandates all higher education institutions and technical vocational institutions to establish a Crime Prevention Committee to formulate policies and strategies that would help protect the academic community from both internal and external threat to their safety and security, such as theft, robbery, rape and other forms of violence.
He said schools should be conducive to learning and intellectual discourse, not venues for violence and crime.
