Roque: “Pinag-iingatan lang sila”
The Palace has reacted to the warning of Lieutenant General Antonio Parlade Jr to actress Liza Soberano and 2018 Miss Universe Catriona Gray over red-tagging issue.
In a press briefing on Thursday, October 22, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said: “Pinag-iingatan lang sila na baka magamit sila ng Left.”
“Siyempre, ingat din po kasi…’yung mga Maoist po sa Pilipinas, kung mayroon pwedeng pagsamantalahan, eh pagsasamantalahan nila,” he added.
When asked if the Palace supports the statement of Parlade to Liza and Catriona, he did not directly respond but instead said that the issue is the possible exploitation of the communists on the advocacies of the personalities.
“Ang issue po, ‘yung posibleng pagsasamantala ng komunista sa mga adbokasiya ng mga personalidad gaya ni Liza at ni Catriona,” Roque said.
“Pero wala po kaming problema doon sa sinasabi ni Liza at ni Catriona dahil ang ating Presidente, sinusulong din ang karapatan ng kakabaihan,” he added.
Liza Soberano was accused of red-tagging over her guest appearance at the Gabriela Youth Webinar entitled “Mga Tinig ni Nene: Reclaiming Our Voices on the International Day of the Girl Child” on Tuesday, October 13.
