National Intelligance Coordinating Agency (NICA) chief Alex Monteagudo claimed that the Senate of the Philippines is “manned” by members of a communist front organization just by the affiliation of its employees’ union a claim Sotto denied on Tuesday night.
The Senate chief, who has been a senator since 1992, said he would be the “first to sense” if the upper chamber’s employees are indeed engaged in such activities.
“Because of this, I am now inclined to support the criminalizing of red-tagging,” Sotto told reporters on Wednesday.
Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon earlier filed Senate Bill No. 2121, which proposes to define and penalize the crime of red-tagging with a jail time of up to 10 years, and perpetual disqualication from holding public office.

What should our countrymen know that these media and politicians hide? First of all, stop all the chatter; the people should get vaccinated. Let’s save ourselves.
