Progressive lawmakers say the government should reach out and communicate with rebels about their concerns instead of denouncing them outright as enemies.

Former Bayan Muna Rep. Teddy Casiño, who was earlier accused of colluding with the Communist Party of the Philippines, said it would be counterproductive to condemn the organization as this would impede on addressing their issues.ho namin sa kanila i-

engage [our attitude towards them is to engage], because we recognize that... their struggles are rooted in very legitimate and historical grievances of our people," he told the Senate during a panel hearing on alleged red-tagging by the anti-communist task force."To simply denounce them as enemies, it closes the door for a healthier engagement."

Casiño was responding to Senator Panfilo"Ping" Lacson, who asked if the former solon disowned the members of his party who allegedly joined the communist movement. Bayan Muna is part of the Makabayan Bloc in Congress, a group the anti-communist task force officials suspect is in cahoots with the CPP — an allegation the accused parties have already denied.

Incumbent Bayan Muna Rep. Carlos Zarate agreed with Casiño, saying that the rebels are facing real problems that pushed them to take up arms against the government. He said deploring the CPP along with its attached groups would only invalidate their struggle.
