Rappler Talk: Ex-AFP spokesperson Domingo Tutaan Jr. on red-tagging and the 2022 elections

MANILA, Philippines – The dangerous act of accusing individuals of conspiring with or being members of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) has reached new levels on the run-up to the 2022 national elections.

Presidential candidate Vice President Leni Robredo recently joined the long list of individuals red-tagged by no other than the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) spokesperson Lorraine Badoy. This comes after the progressive Makabayan bloc endorsed Robredo’s presidential bid.

On Thursday, April 7, Rappler editor-at-large Marites Vitug speaks to retired military major general Domingo Tutaan Jr. on the roots of red-tagging and how it comes into play in the 2022 elections.

Tutaan, a former spokesperson of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, is one of the many retired military officials endorsing Robredo.
