MANILA, Philippines — When she called the week-long transport strike as 'communist-inspired' and a 'painful interference,' Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte said she is only stating a fact and not red-tagging. Duterte issued the statement on Monday, after House Deputy Minority leader and ACT Teachers Rep. France Castro denounced her 'red-tagging' of ACT and public utility drivers who joined the transport strike. In her latest statement, Duterte called Piston as an organization 'with leaders and members poisoned by the ideologies' of the Communist Party of the Philippines, National Democratic Front of the Philippines and the New People's Army.
