Malacañang has reminded the military to be “more prudent” in issuing statements on the alleged communist links of some individuals.Presidential spokesman Harry Roque made the suggestion after the military drew criticisms over a controversial list of University of the Philippines students allegedly captured and killed after joining the New People’s Army.
“Secretary Lorenzana has apologized for mistakes, let’s leave it at that,” Roque said during a Palace press briefing Monday. Roque insisted that the government had no communication plan on linking individuals to the communist rebel group. The military earlier posted on Facebook a list of several names of UP students who allegedly joined the NPA, triggering complaints over alleged inaccuracy and misinformation.
