Ping says ex-NPA rebel confirmed info on Reds at Leni campaign; Trillanes says intel wrong
Senator Panfilo "Ping" Lacson expressed concern over claims that the CPP-NPA may have infiltrated Vice President Leni Robredo's campaign.
Lacson stated that former NPA cadre Jeffrey "Ka Eric" Celiz validated information about alleged communist presence at a Robredo rally in Cavite.
Celiz reportedly received information from a former colleague about CPP members being mobilized from Cavite and Rizal provinces to attend the rally.
Lacson voiced worry about the potential willingness of the campaign to partner with these groups and the safety of rally attendees unaware of such affiliations.
Robredo's campaign has denied the information, stating that no coalition government is being formed with communist rebels.
