NFA employees must fill up new forms on ‘affiliation’ with AFP. Forced conscription of civilian state workers?

COURAGE president Ferdinand Gaite said it's the first time NFA personnel were required to fill up such forms. Karapatan secretary general Cristina Palabay said the form “is, in essence, conscription to military service, either as part of the military’s reserve force or its auxiliary. This takes militarization of the civilian bureaucracy to a whole new level.”
