Roque asks AFP to exercise prudence in disclosing names of suspected communist rebels By VIRGIL LOPEZ, GMA News
Published January 25, 2021 2:56pm Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque on Monday urged the military to exercise prudence after it erroneously identified some alumni of the University of the Philippines (UP) as supposed members of the New People’s Army (NPA). “[Defense] Secretary Lorenzana has apologized for mistakes. Let’s leave it at that. But there is no overall communication plan on red-tagging. We leave that to the defense establishment,” the Palace official said at a press briefing. “I can only suggest that they be more prudent para hindi na po napapa-apologize ang ating Secretary of National Defense.”
Senator Panfilo Lacson says the proposal to criminalize red-tagging must be given serious consideration following the recent controversies between the military and several universities in the country.
Major General Benedict Arevalo, deputy chief of staff for Civil Military Operations, would not give the number of personnel who have been reprimanded but added that one in charge of social media was one of them.
