MANILA, Philippines —  A group of health workers filed a complaint before the Office of Ombudsman against Presidential Communications Undersecretary Lorraine Badoy for statements linking their organization to the armed communist movement.

Badoy, who is also a spokesperson for the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict, has previously accused Vice President Leni Robredo, Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magaling and a number of rights workers, activists and a nun of ties to communist rebels. All have denied the accusations.

In a statement published Thursday morning, the Alliance of Health Workers said the group was calling for the preventive suspension and dismissal from service of Badoy for red-tagging. It is the third such case to be filed against Badoy in the past month.
