Truth-tagging? | Courts junk cases vs red-tagged activists, peace consultants
Ironically, cases against red-tagged individuals are being dismissed by government courts for lack of probable cause or because of insufficient evidence. Motions to quash search warrants were also granted by the courts, declaring whatever so-called evidence the police have acquired during the search as inadmissible.

MANILA – During the oral arguments on the Anti-Terror Act at the Supreme Court, government lawyers and National Security Adviser Hermogenes Esperon Jr. insisted that red-tagging is not a policy of the government.
May 20, 2021 A NON-GOVERNMENT organization (NGO) is calling anew for the abolition of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-Elcac) after its spokesperson Lorraine Badoy launches another threat to pursue the case against Bakwit School 7, whose charges were recently dismissed.
Badoy said in a press conference on Tuesday afternoon, May 18, 2021, that they will assist the Lumad parents, whose children were reportedly kidnapped and brought to the retreat house of the Societas Verbi Divini Philippines Southern Province, University of San Carlos-Talamban campus in Cebu City, to file a motion for reconsideration. Wag sila masyadong magdidiwang kasi butas na butas sila dito (They should not celebrate just yet because we noticed many loopholes here), the NTF-Elcac official said.
