MANILA, Philippines — Everyone has a right to support a candidate or political party in the May polls, even if the endorsement comes from groups that the government is linking to the Communist Party of the Philippines or the New Peoples’ Army, Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said.

 

The justice secretary, in a message to reporters, explained that there is "nothing unlawful" for the groups associated with the CPP/NPA to express their support for any political party or aspirant in the 2022 elections.

 

Being an activist, a leftist, or a communist are all legal in the Philippines.
