Franklin Drilon said the Senate should adopt the definition of red-tagging or red-baiting from the definition of Supreme Court Justice Marvic Leonen in a promulgated decision made Nov. 2015 on the case of Rep. Isagani Zarate and former president Benigno Aquino III.
But Drilon countered this, pointing out that the laws were not a deterrent for red-tagging. It still has its chilling effect, he said, and recommended that red-tagging should be punished separately. The lawmaker also explained that it is too early to say that red-tagging should or should not be criminalized. He proposed instead a committee that would study and make recommendations on the matter.
In a Senate hearing in December last year on the rampant red-tagging activities of state forces against government critics and activists, former Ateneo School of Government dean Antonio Laviña said the act is "terrorism in its worst form." Resolution No. 559, that Lacson sponsored, recommended that Lt. Gen. Antonio Parlade should not be holding two positions -- one in the AFP and one in a civilian organization as NTF-ELCAC spokesperson.
The AFP, Pangilinan pointed out, should never tolerate such transgressions because it appeared that the general bypassed AFP Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Cirilito Sobejana.
Oo santion them Badoy and Parlade...
Red tagging can only be criminalized if being Red or Communist is criminalized. Game?
Then settle the definition. Do what has to be done. I’m tired of living in prehistoric times
dpat Im tired of fkn parlade already
