Gabriela says its member not an NPA amazon 195 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Yas D. OcampoDavao City – The Gabriela Women’s Party has accused the government of “red-tagging” one of its members as a New People’s Army (NPA) amazon, when she is actually just a small-time businesswoman and a human rights advocate. It also said the suspect has been its member since 2006. “The arrest is meant to sow fear among the people of Caraga who dare to expose and criticize President Duterte and his military and police’s misogynistic and anti-people actions,” the women’s rights group said. It also said the military erred in announcing that De Castro was a high-ranking member of the NPA as finance officer of the Komisyon sa Mindanao and the secretary of the Regional White Area Committee of the Northeastern Mindanao Region.
