Calling for the ouster of Kabataan Partylist Rep. Sarah Elago, a Facebook (FB) user reposted on July 16 a fake graphic with a quote from the solon saying she will support the New People’s Army (NPA) — the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP)’s armed wing — “if need be” and that people should not care if she joins their ranks.
