University of the Philippines alumni falsely red-tagged as dead or captured by the New People's Army, the revolutionary organization of the Communist Party of the Philippines, have spoken out.

"Ang akala ko noon kaya ako na-red-tag kasi mayroon akong post about defending academic freedom, dahil medyo kakalabas lang noon ng balita sa pag-abrogate ng UP-DND Accord," Magtoto said. "Between amused and afraid and medyo na-high blood ako actually, or not the next year I had increase human blood pressure . . . But it was, it was quite a fearful moment. You'll never know what they're going to do because in this administration they they don't discern," Magtoto said about being red-tagged.

UP Chancellor Fidel Nemenzo believes the government’s reckless “demonization” of those expressing dissent or criticism may be foreshadowing the full extent of the Anti-Terrorism Act passed by the Duterte administration.
