Teachers’ union slams DepEd for allowing task force to red-tag members
“Teachers have been clamoring for the grant and release of benefits and salary increases for months, but all we get is a slow and tight-lipped response in return. But when it comes to red-tagging, the DepEd managed to issue a memo?”

MANILA – The Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) assailed the Department of Education for allowing the government’s counter-insurgency body to red-tag their members.
Members of the ACT held a picket protest in front of the Department of Education – National Capital Region’s office, following a “sponsored orientation” for Pasig City public school teachers organized by the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict’s (NTF-ELCAC).
This was apparently allowed by the DepEd– NCR, per its memorandum dated Jan. 31, saying that it “interposes no objection” to the request of the government counterinsurgency body’s request to hold an “Orientation for Parents, Teachers and Principals on the Youths and Students Recruitment by the CPP-NDF-NPA [Communist Party of the Philippines-National Democratic Front-New People’s Army].”
