In an announcement issued on Sunday, UP Vice President for Public Affairs Prospero De Vera hammered the spread of a Facebook post which asserted that the UP's Board of Regents, the college's most astounding law-making body, has issued a resolution against Duterte. 

De Vera said, “In very clear and in no uncertain terms, the university would like to make it known that the Board of Regents has not made any such issuance. There has been no resolution of such nature passed by the Board.”

According to De Vera, the post is a “malicious attempt of the individual, or group behind the social media user, to drag the name of the University of the Philippines into partisan political conflict.”

“As the national university, UP is non-partisan and does not support nor hold adversarial views against any candidate,” he added.

The college has as of now propelled an investigation on the matter and indicated that it would seek after legitimate activity against the wellspring of the post.
