Muling iginiit ni Communications Undersecretary Lorraine Badoy, na tagapagsalita rin ng National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC), na si Bise Presidente Leni Robredo ay “nakipagsabwatan” sa Communist Party of the Philippines – New People’s Army – National Democratic Front (CPP-NPA-NDF) at mga piling party-list group sa halalan noong Mayo.
PAHAYAG
Sa isang Facebook post, nagpahayag ng pagkadismaya si Badoy na nagawa ng Kabataan party list na “napataas ng kalahating milyong ang boto (nito)” habang ang iba pang mga grupo na na-red-tag sa kanyang tinatawag na “CPP-NPA-NDF partylist groups,” ay nagkaroon ng “malaking pagbaba” ng mga nakuhang boto noong May 9 elections kumpara sa mga nakaraang botohan.
Pagkatapos ay sinabi niya:
“We attribute these votes to the treachery of Leni Robredo who colluded with the CPP NPA NDF…”
(Ang mga boto na ito ay dahil sa kataksilan ni Leni Robredo na nakipagsabwatan sa CPP NPA NDF…)

Sinisi niya si Robredo, na hindi naman nag-endorso sa Kabataan party list, at sinabing:
“For the record, if Leni Robredo had not conspired with this terrorist organization, there would have been one less seat in Congress for this terrorist organization…”
(Para sa kaalaman [ng lahat], kung hindi nakipagsabwatan si Leni Robredo sa teroristang organisasyong ito, mababawasan sana ng isang puwesto sa Kongreso para sa teroristang organisasyong ito…)
ANG KATOTOHANAN
Pinabulaanan ng abogadong si Barry Gutierrez, tagapagsalita ni Robredo, ang mga akusasyon ni Badoy, at sinabing ang mga ito ay “malinaw at ganap na kasinungalingan,” at “pinabulaanan nang paulit-ulit.”
Binigyang-diin ni Gutierrez na walang naipakitang pruweba upang patunayan ang “walang taros na paratang.”
Sa isang text message sa VERA Files Fact Check, sinabi ng papasok na Kabataan party list Rep. Raoul Manuel na ang pahayag ni Badoy ay bahagi ng “disinformation efforts” ng NTF-ELCAC upang talunin ang representasyon nito ng mga kabataan sa Kongreso.
Si Badoy, na isang undersecretary sa Presidential Communications Operations Office, ay nagsabi sa parehong post na ang task force ay nagsampa ng disqualification cases laban sa Kabataan, Gabriela Women’s Party list, at Alliance of Concerned Teachers, at nakatakdang magsampa pa ng maraming kaso.
Sa isang pahayag noong Mayo 25, nanawagan si Gabriela Women’s Party list Rep. Arlene Brosas na ibasura ang disqualification case na isinampa ng NTF-ELCAC, at sinabing ito ay “nakaangkla sa red-tagging at pekeng mga pahayag.”
Si Badoy ay nahaharap sa mahigit walong reklamo sa Office of the Ombudsman, kabilang ang mga paglabag umano sa Republic Act 6713, o ang Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards para sa mga pampublikong opisyal at empleyado.
Ang mga reklamo ay batay sa nilabag niya umanong batas sa pag red-tag sa human rights groups, health care workers, aktibista, think tank Ibon Foundation, at mga personalidad tulad ni Maria Ressa, chief executive officer ng online news Rappler; Rep. Sarah Elago, ang outgoing Kabataan party list representative; at Ana Patricia Non, organizer ng Maginhawa community pantry.
