From GMA News Online (Nov 5, 2020): Esperon on Sison saying military 'spliced' his video: Not a very acceptable explanation (By ANNA FELICIA BAJO)
National Security Adviser Hermogenes Esperon Jr. on Thursday insisted that it was Communist Party of the Philippines founding chairman Jose Maria Sison who had identified some progressive groups as legal fronts of CPP.Esperon was reacting to the recent accusation of Sison that the military "spliced" the latter's video to make it appear that he red-tagged some groups such as Gabriela, Kilusang Mayo Uno, Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas, League of Filipino Students, and the Alliance of Concerned Teachers.
"That is not a very acceptable explanation of that. You can watch the video and it is very clear that he was mentioning the organizations and read his lips, he was saying the names, he was pronouncing the names of the organizations." Esperon told CNN Philippines.
"It is an unmistakable identification of the people, of the organizations that are involved in the national democratic revolution," he added.
The military has since denied the red-tagging accusations against them, insisting that it was Sison who had named these alleged legal fronts.
On Tuesday, a Senate conduc ted a hearing on the alleged red tagging activities of the Armed Forces.
Southern Luzon Command chief Lieutenant General Antonio Parlade Jr. was among the resource persons invited in he hearing after he warned some personalities supporting Gabriela Women's Party.—
