Assistant Minority Leader and Gabriela Women’s Party Rep. Arlene Brosas was unfazed with more than a dozen witnesses unloaded by the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) to disqualify them in the 2022 elections.
Brosas believed that the NTF-ELCAC “desperately” want to distract and pester Gabriela with witnesses before the Commission on Elections (Comelec) “at a time when we are actively seeking for the inclusion of significant cash aid and subsidy for Filipinos reeling from Duterte’s failed pandemic response.”
Comelec 2nd Division on Tuesday conducted a hearing on NTF-ELCAC’s petition to cancel the registration of Gabriela.
“Sa mga nagdaang taon, napakarami ng kasong isinampa laban sa amin ng mga nakaraang administrasyon pero lahat ito ay ibinasura dahil napatunayan na gawa-gawa lamang ang mga ito. Desperado silang busalan ang kababaihan sa Kongreso,” Brosas said.
Gabriela maintained that NTF-ELCAC’s allegations regarding foreign funding and advocacy of violence are “baseless and fabricated”.
“But we, along with the Filipino women and people, will not be afraid to go head-to-head with this vicious red-tagging machinery. Hindi magtatagumpay ang kasinungalingan, kadiliman at kilma ng takot sa pagkitil sa boses ng kababaihan at mamamayan,” she added.
