The Dilawan Sections of the Philippine Press has been very, very busy lately trying to protect the Gabriela Women’s Party (GWP or simply “Gabriela”) from what they call as “Red-Tagging” while totally ignoring the fact that one of Gabriela’s Officials was killed just this September 2020 while fighting WITH the New People’s Army (NPA).
Rona Jane Manalo, also known as "Ren", "RJ", “Ka Amir” and "Lemon", is an OFFICIAL of Gabriela in Mindoro. She was killed during an armed encounter by Philippine Marine Corps (PMC) Units in Palawan.
So a Gabriela OFFICIAL is KILLED while fighting and trying to kill Government Forces, and this Gabriela still has the gall to claim and protest that they are supposedly being falsely labeled as part of the NPA? And the Dilawan Sections of the Philippine Press is protecting them? Really?
A quick search on Google showed that when Manalo was killed, NOT A SINGLE ONE of the major Privately owned Philippine Press Organizations reported that she was a Gabriela Official. It was Social Media that carried the Story. Without Social Media, the Filipino People would not have even known.
This is the kind of “Basura Brand of Journalism” that the Dilawan Journalists practices here in the Philippines. These Western-style, Liberal Press are supposed to provide the “Check and Balance” against the Government, but they just end up serving the interests of certain Groups instead.
Why are they supporting and protecting these armed Communist Organizations? What do they owe these Groups that they are willing to protect them and risk their reputations as “Journalists”?
No wonder the Government has a very hard time defeating these armed Communists even if they have been around for so long, they have deep connections with influential Groups within Philippine Society itself.
