Public schools will not be subjected to Oplan Tokhang of the the Philippine National Police (PNP), Education Secretary Leonor Briones said on Friday.

“The entire department would like to reiterate its steadfast support of the PNP’s campaign against illegal drugs. However, we would also like to inform everyone that both the Department of Education (DepEd) and the PNP recognize and implement the long-standing policy that prohibits, with or without the drug problem, police and military personnel from entering school grounds,” Briones explained.
