Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Eduardo Año has renewed calls for the restoration of the law that makes subversion a criminal offense.

He stressed this should be considered as reports disclosed that 500 to 1,000 youths are recruited annually by communist rebel groups.

To recall, parents have raised concern about their children who have gone missing reportedly after being recruited by left-leaning organizations. The DILG chief noted Republic Act 9372 has been rendered useless and has not been used against terrorism since it also punished honest mistakes of law enforcers with stiff fines and imprisonment of up to 10 years.

During the martial law years, RA 1700 was expanded through Presidential Decree 885 in 1976 and PD 1835 in 1981.
