LORRAINE Badoy-Partosa, former spokesperson of the government’s anti-insurgency task force has been found guilty of indirect contempt for red-tagging a Manila Regional Trial Court judge, according to the Supreme Court (SC), Thursday.
In a 51-page ruling penned by Associate Justice Marvic Leonen, Badoy was ordered to pay a fine of P30,000 and warned against repeating the same or similar acts in the future, or she would be meted a more severe punishment.
The former National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) spokesperson hurled scathing remarks against Manila RTC Judge Marlo Magdoza-Malagar on social media in September 2022.
Her attacks came after Magdoza-Malagar dismissed the government’s proscription case that sought to declare the Communist Party of the Philippines and its armed wing, the New People’s Army, as terrorist organizations.
