Transcript
00:00 Because of the red tag, even to those who are not proven communist,
00:06 the UN Special Rapporteur will recommend the escape to NTF Elkac.
00:12 The National Security Council also visited there.
00:15 Maki Pulido was there.
00:17 After 10 days of negotiations, not only with the government officials, but also with various groups,
00:26 it is clear that someone went out to investigate the UN Special Rapporteur Ayrin Kan.
00:31 They use red tagging to silence legitimate questioning and opposition to the government.
00:37 Some are red tagged or accused of being communists,
00:40 not members of the Communist Party of the Philippines or New People's Army,
00:44 but legitimate activists, teachers, students, human rights defenders,
00:49 indigenous people leader, and media.
00:52 The vilification has often been followed by threats, unlawful surveillance, attacks, or even unlawful killing.
00:59 It intimidates and chills freedom of expression.
01:01 It suppresses legal activism.
01:03 It isolates and antagonizes those who are unfairly attacked, puts them in a vulnerable position.
01:10 Some of the people whom Ayrin Kan talked to were taught by the National Task Force
01:13 to end local communist armed conflict or NTF Elkac that needs to be broken.
01:18 She also recommended the issue of an executive order that has clear guidelines
01:23 against red tagging and discipline in its implementation.
01:26 The abolition will allow for a more inclusive peacemaking platform or platforms
01:33 with participation of women peacemakers and communities.
01:38 But the National Security Council is insisting.
01:40 The National Task Force Elkac has been the game changer
01:44 in our government's fight against communist terrorism
01:47 because now that we're winning, what signal does it send to the public and to the international community?
01:55 Kan also recommends the violation of anti-terrorism law
01:58 especially its prohibition for warrantless search and arrest that violates human rights.
02:04 The Cyber Crime Prevention Act should also be amended
02:07 because it uses cyber libel to restrict the media.
02:11 Kan is in charge of the protection of human rights defenders and media in the Philippines
02:16 which is one of the most dangerous for the media.
02:19 The Interagency Council on Extralegal Killings does not do enough
02:24 to enforce disappearances, torture and other grave violations to life, liberty and security of persons.
02:30 A modern democracy does not need to criminalize expression.
02:36 Palacio said that this is open to reforms
02:38 even though it is hard to understand the overall situation within 10 days.
02:43 That's why the government and Kan are planning to add more help
02:47 hoping that reforms can be started before he presents his report in June 2025.
02:53 For GMA Integrated News, Macky Pulido, for Tutok, 24 hours.
