MANILA, Philippines — The Communist Party of the Philippines has been receiving cuts from the contractors of infrastructure projects, Jeffrey Celiz, who claims to be a former communist rebel, said on Tuesday in a Senate red-tagging investigation. Lacson instructed Celiz to submit to the Senate committee lists of NGOs supposedly acting as conduits for the CPP. Celiz tags CasiñoDuring the hearing, Celiz also tagged former Bayan Muna Rep. Teddy Casiño as being part of the CPP. “I was the regional chairman [of the CEGP] — though I know him also to be part of the CPP,” Celiz said. They are still part of the Communist Party, and worse, they deny it.
