The National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP) on Thursday, March 25, welcomed the proposal by Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon to criminalize red-tagging.

Under Senate Bill No. 2121 or the proposed “Act Defining and Penalizing Red-tagging” that Drilon filed on Wednesday, anyone found guilty of red-tagging shall be penalized with 10-year imprisonment and will also be disqualified from holding any public office.

“The government is the primary duty bearer in upholding human rights. These dangerous accusations, when done by state agents as part of a so-called counter-insurgency program, are no longer private opinions and conspiracy theories but official actions and policy,” the group said, citing the red-tagging and arrest of one of its directors and Manila Today editor Lady Ann Salem.
