MANILA, Philippines—Five youth members of the Anakbayan organization staged a rally at the Akbayan press conference held in Manila Tuesday morning.
In the middle of the press conference where members of the Akbayan party-list were explaining why the group should not be disqualified from the 2013 polls, youth members of the Anakbayan organization shouted “disqualify Akbayan, fake party-list.â€
The youth members of the Anakbayan, led by Andrew Zarate, Anakbayan NCR spokesperson and Dianne Solmayor, Secretary General of Anakbayan, questioned why Akbayan party-list representative Walden Bello, back in 2007, was protesting that pro-administration party-lists should be disqualified when they were now “tuta ng administrasyon ni Noynoy (lapdogs of the Aquino administration).â€
The protesters carried photos of Bello back in 2007.
As tensions rose, members of the Akbayan in turn shouted “KSP,†“utak pulbura (loosely translated as hot-tempered),†and branded what they described as the extreme leftist groups as “drifting into irrelevance†who did not like the reformist stance of Akbayan.
