House Deputy Minority leader and Alliance of Concerned Teachers Party-list Rep. France Castro on Sunday, March 5, called out Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte for “red-tagging” the group and the public utility vehicle drivers who plan to go on strike this week.Castro hit the official for the insensitive remark after she called the transport strike “communist-inspired” in a statement she released also on Sunday.
She questioned if those who red-tag the drivers have ever experienced working day and night for a small amount of money, or have lined up with commuters to ride public transport vehicles to work or school. However, the lawmaker stressed the need for PUV drivers to air their grievances against the government’s jeepney modernization program, which would require operators of consolidated entities to purchase modern vehicles that cost between P2.4 million and P2.8 million each by the end of this year.
Her remarks came after Duterte criticized her group for expressing support for the transport strike, which will run from March 6 to 12 and would involve some 40,000 traditional jeepneys and UV express units to protest the jeepney modernization program, and calling for the Department of Education to cancel classes in areas that would be affected by the strike.Meanwhile, Kabataan Party-list filed House Resolution No.
Iyak na naman si Comrade Castro. 😂
What to expect? Like father, like daughter
Mas despicable ka France Castro!
Bread and butter ng pamilya duterte yan.. Sasabihan ka nila ng adik o komunista pag alam nilang pumapalag na ang taong-bayan sa malawakang korapsyon at kapalpakan nila.
Well...
ay Castro defensive. must be guilty 😏 must be NPA 😅
Ano pa nga ba ang bago? Usual response from the left leaning groups. Mga komunista! Deny pa.
It’s a democratic Constitutional right to protest and strike to address grievances against questionable government policies. Ay! Patay kay Inday na walang malay.🤣🤣🤣
Masama man no, pero sana sila ang tamaan ng sarili nilang pampasabog.
AYAN NA ANG MGA CCP-NPA..HAHAHAHA ..THEY INFILTRATE THE STRIKE AND CREATE A DESTRUCTION AND TRY TO PLACE A BOMB OR BULLETS AND BLAME TO THE GOVERNMENT. HALATA NA SILA!!!
THE COMMUNISTS INVENTED or coined the word 'redtagging,' (it's part of their tactics) but the true connotation of that word really is that they are 'identified as communists' therefore, they are all TERRORISTS.
