Speaker Velasco vows to protect representatives perceived as victims of red-tagging

Speaker Lord Allan Velasco on Tuesday vowed to “protect from potential harm” lawmakers who have become the targets of relentless red-tagging by Lt. Gen. Antonio Parlade Jr., spokesman of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict .In a statement, Velasco said he is “deeply concerned over the continuous red-tagging’ of House members, saying that unproven allegations aired by Parlade have put the lives of the aggrieved solons in danger.

Six members of the Makabayan bloc led by Deputy Minority Leader and Bayan Muna Rep. Carlo Zarate have complained against Parlade’s actions. “General Parlade should be more circumspect and cautious in issuing statements against House members whose lives he may place at great risk and danger sans strong evidence,” Velasco said.

“Despite having no evidence at all on his claims, Parlade continues his unceasing red-tagging of the Makabayan bloc and even admits to conducting surveillance of the party-list members and leaders of the Makabayan bloc in recent interviews,” said Castro.

So now it becomes clear why we haven’t been able to truly get rid of this insurgency. We don’t have a govt that is united and decisive enough to back our military in this fight.
