Lacson denies red-tagging, warns against CPP-NPA-NDF coalition

Senator Panfilo "Ping" Lacson denied accusations of red-tagging, stating he was only warning against potential coalition governments with the CPP-NPA-NDF.

He clarified that his warnings were not directed at specific individuals, refuting claims that he was targeting supporters of other presidential candidates, specifically those of Vice President Leni Robredo.

Lacson emphasized the need to decisively end insurgency and corruption for the country's prosperity and development.

He previously warned that a coalition government with the CPP-NPA-NDF could undermine efforts to end the long-standing insurgency.

His statement followed accusations of red-tagging from the Robredo camp after he reacted to a news report about paid attendees at her rally in Cavite.
