MANILA, Philippines — There should be a law to define the practice of red-tagging — or the practice of conflating dissent and criticism with joining communist rebels and taking up arms against the government — Senator Panfilo "Ping" Lacson and Senate President Vicente Sotto III said Wednesday.

 

Both said that they have been criticized for doing it and that a law that defines the practice would help narrow down what it means.

 

[We want] a law that will define what red-tagging actually means. There's no definition. We attempted to define what red-tagging meant through a comittee report but there really is a need to institutionalize its definition by way of legislation," Lacson said in Filipino during a press con in North Cotabato on Wednesday.
