Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, March 17) – A Mandaluyong judge was tagged red on a tarp along Shaw Boulevard near EDSA after she ordered the release of a journalist and a union organizer.
Judge Monique Quisumbing of the Mandaluyong Regional Court of First Instance, Branch 209, previously acquitted journalist Lady Ann Salem and trade unionist Rodrigo Esparago of charges of illegal possession of firearms and explosives.
Bayan Muna’s representative, Ferdinand Gaite, criticized the attack on Quisumbing-Ignacio.
“Courts are under attack! After the PNP’s attempt to profile HR attorneys, we are now seeing harassment against judges exposing their flawed searches!” Gaite posted on Twitter along with a photo of the canvas.
“I condemn this act of intimidation against Judge Quisumbing-Ignacio. Hands off the judiciary! Hands off human rights lawyers! ”, He added.

The Kapatid group of prisoners also drew attention to the judge’s red tag.
“The tarpaulins speak for themselves. Independent and impartial judges are under attack. Who has the reason to produce such nonsense besides those extremely fond of red labels? Their work will make them a boomerang,” the group said in a statement. .
