Magtoto, who is a playwright for PETA, was falsely tagged as one of the 27 UP students who allegedly became rebels. The list was released by the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Information Exchange.
“We strongly condemn the red-tagging of writer Liza Magtoto, who received the Gawad Pambansang Alagad ni Balagtas para sa Dula sa Filipino in 2017,” UMPIL said in Filipino.
UMPIL, who called Magtoto a “defender of women and youth,” sounded alarm over the intensified red-tagging of individuals and students.
“Universities mold students to be smart individuals and good citizens. Campuses should only be kept safe from repression and intimidation. It is necessary to ensure that universities remain open to all thoughts and dispositions. This is important in achieving a truly humane society,” it underscored.
The National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP) sounded the alarm over the inclusion of two journalists in the list of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) as alleged University of the Philippines (UP) students who became rebels.

“The SSS (Social Security System) has ECC for kasambahay…so for example if they contracted COVID they have daily income benefit of P480 per day up to 14 days plus cash assistance of P10,000 and medical reimbursement,” DoLE Bureau of Workers with Special Concerns (BWSC) Director Karen Trayvilla said during the “Laging Handa” forum.
“The testing of the kasambahay is covered by Philhealth provided they are a member,” Trayvilla added.
The Labor official said employers should take care of the hospital treatment especially if they didn’t enroll their kasambahay in the Social Security System and Philippine Health Insurance Corp.
