Red-baiting? Baduy
Taktika ba para tabunan ang matitinding issues?
Taktika ba para tabunan ang matitinding issues?
Sa pang-limang episode ng #WhatTheF?! podcast ng VERA Files, kasama natin si Diosa Labiste, associate professor sa Unibersidad ng Pilipinas, upang suriin kung bakit maituturing na disinformation ang red tagging at bakit ito kailangang masugpo.
Gumawa ng nakaliligaw na pahayag si Undersecretary Lorraine Badoy ng National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) na ang Korte Suprema ay nagpasya na "walang panganib sa buhay, kalayaan at seguridad kapag ang isang tao ay kinilala bilang miyembro ng CPP NPA NDF.” Tugon niya ito sa komento ni Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra na nagbabala laban sa mga red-tagging ng mga indibidwal nang walang patunay.
Undersecretary Lorraine Badoy of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) made a misleading claim that the Supreme Court had ruled that “there is no danger to life, liberty and security when you are identified as a member of the CPP NPA NDF.”
Badoy, who also serves as a spokesperson of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC), denied in an April 20 Facebook (FB) post that she made such a pronouncement, calling the made-up quote a “piece of fake news.”
Bilang sagot sa pagkondena ng apat na senador sa "red-tagging" ni National General Intelligence Coordinating Agency (NICA) Director General Alex Monteagudo sa unyon ng mga empleyado ng Senado, sinabi ni Communications Undersecretary Lorraine Marie Badoy na ang mga korte ng Pilipinas ay nagpasiya na “walang red-tagging.” Hindi totoo ang sinabi ni Badoy.
Reacting to the condemnation by four senators of National Intelligence Coordinating Agency (NICA) Director General Alex Monteagudo’s “red-tagging” of the Senate employees’ union, Communications Undersecretary Lorraine Marie Badoy falsely claimed that Philippine courts already ruled that there is “no such thing as red-tagging.”
Alex Padilla, one of the 28 University of the Philippines students and alumni in the list of the Armed Forces of the Philippines “who became NPA (died or captured),” noted that the unsigned apology of the AFP Information Center that released the erroneous and egregious list is” hardly one.”
Six of the University of the Philippines (UP) alumni who were tagged in the military’s social media posts as members of the New People's Army (NPA) are mulling to file cyber libel and contempt charges against Armed Forces and defense officials over the red-tagging brouhaha.
