‘Anti-Red committee won’t stop insurgency’

The creation of a joint anti-Red committee by Metro Manila’s Regional Development Council and Regional Peace and Order Council is “another lesson not learned” by the government, former lawmaker Neri Colmenares said on Monday.

Colmenares, who is perceived as a vocal leftist, stated that the government’s “intolerance of dissent” is leaving it open to making the same mistake that former president Ferdinand Marcos committed.
