Gabriela Partylist supports Frankie: ‘Macho-fascism’ flows source - Duterte to his trolls

Women’s group Gabriela Partylist is supporting Frankie “Kakie” Pangilinan who has been receiving a lot of hate speech, bashing, rape threats for her views and for criticizing the Duterte administration.

“No one deserves to be threatened with sexual violence for merely voicing out political beliefs. Rape is a serious criminal offense, and hence should never be used casually under any circumstance,” the group said.

Gabriela is represented by Rep. Arlene Brosas, a member of the Makabayan bloc who is known to be allies with the Liberal Party.

Frankie Pangilinan is the daughter of senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan a known loyal and veteran member of the Liberal Party.

“This rape threat against individuals bravely speaking truth to power manifests the kind of dangerous bigotry and macho-fascism that is flowing from the source — no less than President Duterte — down to his supporters,” the party-list said.

“This is the same kind of rape threats being used by Duterte’s supporters even against Gabriela Rep. Arlene Brosas, Kabataan Partylist Rep. Sarah Elago, multi-awarded actress Angel Locsin and other brave Filipino women speaking against the rampant rights violations and social injustice under the Duterte regime,” it added.

Gabriela said this kind of “intolerance to criticism and rotten fanaticism for Duterte must stop.”

“Independent voices must be allowed to thrive without any fear of being in harm’s way. Stop using rape threats to silence critical voices!” it said.
