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.
True to their commitment to uplift the quality of life of the residents, the municipalities of Santa Cruz, Laguna and Sta. Magdalena, Sorsogon have created a Poverty Reduction and Enterprise Development Office (PREDO) that serves as the National Anti-Poverty Commission’s local counterpart in implementing various programs aimed at alleviating poverty in the country.
The new office is tasked to formulate, oversee, monitor, and implement poverty reduction programs adapted to local needs and to harness mechanisms such as rural finance, enterprise and livelihood development, credit, and savings, among others. Its goal is to increase household income, generate employment, and strengthen the local economy based on available resources.

+ March 11, 2021 THE Municipalities of Asturias, Tuburan and Carmen in Cebu have entered into a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with the National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC) to support the “Sambayanihan Serbisyong Sambayanan” or the 3S, its five-year (2019-2023) development program that aims to achieve 14 percent or lower poverty rate in the country.
Noel Felongco, NAPC Secretary and lead convenor, said one of the strategies the NAPC and the local government units will implement is the creation of a Municipal Poverty Reduction Action Office headed by an appointed focal person of the municipality.
He said the NAPC, in turn, will organize a volunteers’ program to support the office.

After all she had been through in her childhood, all Nacional wanted to do with her life was to be present for the poor, especially children.
“In my moments of doubt, I’ve asked myself firmly – if not me, sino ang tutulong sa iba? At kung hindi ngayon, kailan pa ako magsisimulang tumulong sa iba?” said Nacional when asked about her cause for the poor.
Nacional is an urban poor community development worker for decades who has received citations for being a dedicated and credible community organizer.
