Baseless and unproven accusations linking prominent political figures to the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and its military arm, the New People’s Army (NPA), continue circulating online two years after the controversial Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) of 2020 took effect.
Mga walang basehan at hindi napatunayang akusasyon na nag-uugnay sa mga kilalang personalidad sa pulitika sa Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) at armadong grupo nito, ang New People's Army (NPA), ay patuloy na kumakalat online dalawang taon matapos magkabisa ang kontrobersyal na Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) ng 2020.
Sa ika-136 na sesyon ng United Nations Human Rights Committee sa Geneva noong Oktubre 10, binigyang-katwiran ni Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin “Boying” Remulla ang red-tagging ng gobyerno sa mga kritiko na pinaniniwalaan nilang nakikiisa sa Communist Party of the Philippines-New People's Army (CPP-NPA). Ito ay nakaliligaw.

This is misleading.
