Joint Statement of Senate Minority Senate Minority Leader Franklin M. Drilon, Sen. Risa Hontiveros, Sen. Leila de Lima and Sen. Francis Pangilinan
We strongly condemn the red-tagging of the union of Senate employees and we vehemently denounce government officials who continue to label, brand, vilify, and harass individuals and organizations such as SENADO as state enemies and subversives.
We have been in the Senate long enough and we can attest that the SENADO union never acted as the "eyes and ears of the CPP-NPA-NDF in the Senate to hijack plans and programs of the government." These are dangerous allegations to make.
