Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, October 21) – A military official, known for labeling government critics as communist rebels, warned actress Liza Soberano not to continue working with left-leaning Gabriela Youth after the celebrity spoke as a guest at one of their events.
“Liza Soberano, there is still the possibility of abdicating from the group,” said Lieutenant General Antonio Parlade Jr., adding that he could suffer the same fate as Josephine Lapira, a member of the Gabriela Youth who died in a meeting with the armed authorities three ago. years that.
Parlade is the commander of the Philippine Army’s Southern Luzon Command and currently spokesman for the National Task Force to End the Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC).
She gave the same warning to Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray while labeling actress Angel Locsin’s sister Ella Colmenares in red. He alleged that Locsin’s brother is working with the New People’s Army in Quezon.
Gray, meanwhile, has spoken out against the government on some issues, including the passage of the Anti-Terrorism Law and the closure of the ABS-CBN network.
“The choice is yours Liza, and so with you Catriona,” he added. “Don’t follow the path that Ka Ella Colmenares took on the subway.”
Soberano, in an online event with Gabriela Youth, encouraged women and influencers to express themselves on different topics, but her speech was met with some accusations of involvement with the NPA.
Parlade told the public not to tag red, but to “educate” Sovereign. He is known for accusing politicians of colluding with the Communist Party of the Philippines. He also claimed that progressive groups were plotting to overthrow President Rodrigo Duterte in a scheme known as “Red October” in 2018.
Gabriela Youth criticized the soldier for “degrading” his late member Lapira, whom they refer to as a “martyr.”
“They (the Armed Forces) continually use ‘red labels’ to silence everyone, with or without an organization, who speaks out against the tyrannical government of the Duterte regime,” the group said on Facebook.
