NEWS UPDATE: President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. says he does not see any reason to abolish NTF-ELCAC, which has been criticized for red-tagging critics of the government. “Hindi naman gobyerno gumagawa noon. Kung
sinu-sinong iba ang gumagawa noon.”Marcos’ claim is untrue. NTF-ELCAC has repeatedly labeled progressives as communist terrorists or fronts of the CPP.
The Ombudsman even reprimanded ex-NTF-ELCAC officials Lorraine Badoy and Antonio Parlade over red-tagging last year. | via Dwight de Leon/Rappler rplr.co/philippines
