MANILA – Progressive lawmakers are seeking to investigate government agencies behind the order to block alternative online news Bulatlat and 26 other websites.
“What the NTC and National Security Council did is blatant red-tagging-linking these organizations to the communist movement. This is also disinformation, given that Esperon and the agencies are maliciously misrepresenting progressives, the media, even the religious are part of, supporting, and related to the armed struggle,” the resolution read.
ACT Teachers Rep. France Castro, Gabriela Women’s Party Rep. Arlene Brosas, and Kabataan Rep. Raoul Manuel authored the resolution.
