Published April 7, 2021 3:31pm Senate President Vicente Sotto III on Wednesday said he is now inclined to support the measure seeking to criminalize red-tagging after the Senate employees union was accused of having links with communist rebels. In a text message to reporters, Sotto said that red-tagging of the Sandigan ng mga Empleyadong Nagkakaisa sa Adhikain ng Demokratikong Organisasyon (SENADO), a union of employees in the Senate, made him want to support Senate Bill 2121, or the proposed law defining and penalizing red-tagging. Because of this, I am now inclined to support the criminalizing of red-tagging, he said.
