ONE HOUSE. Congressmen pose with Speaker Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez after adopting House Resolution 1562 on Monday night, expressing their ‘unwavering solidarity and support’ for the leader from Leyte and upholding the House of Representatives’ ‘integrity and honor’ after their plenary session.
The Supreme Court’s ruling in favor of former Bayan Muna lawmaker Siegfred Deduro is a significant victory against the vicious practice of red-tagging, which has led to the persecution and even the killing of many activists and critics of the government, Castro said. Rep. Faustino Dy of Isabela, Ernesto Dionisio Jr of Manila, and Jude Acidre of TINGOG party-list group all agreed that the dismantling of the NTF-ELCAC is the President’s prerogative after the Supreme Court ruled that red-tagging is a threat to people’s lives, liberty, and security.
“Of course, it is the President’s decision as to what steps to take. It should be remembered that they do not have to trample on the rights of Filipino citizens in the commission of their jobs,” Dionisio said.
