MANILA, Philippines — The government should not be afraid of women supporting each other, Gabriela Women's Party said Thursday in response to a veiled threat that a military general gave Kapamilya actress Liza Soberano for joining a webinar on women's issues that Gabriela organized. And why do they seem so afraid of women using their platform to defend other women?" "These rabid NTF-ELCAC executives are using their rehashed script to discredit Gabriela Women's Party despite our long track record of advocating women's rights," she also said. This is not the first time the NTF-ELCAC has accused women linked to Gabriela Women's Party of being communist rebels. Sen. Richard Gordon pointed out that the Anti-Subversion Law, which outlaws membership in the Communist Party of the Philippines, has long been repealed.
