Iginiit ng dating broadcaster at ngayo’y operations consultant ng Sonshine Media Network International #SMNI na si Jay Sonza na hindi sila nang-red tag o ang nagbansag sa Makabayan Bloc bilang legal front organization ng CPP-NPA. Pagdiriin ni Sonza, mismong si CPP-NPA founding chairman Jose Maria Sison ang nagsabi nito. “‘Yun pong mga pagre-red tag o pagtawag na front organization ‘yung Kabataan Partylist, Gabriela or ACT [Alliance of Concerned Teachers] ay hindi po nanggaling sa media. Ang mismong nagyabang nito ay walang iba kundi ang founding chairman ng [CPP-NPA] Prof. Jose Maria Sison,” saad niya. "Sabi niya, itong Makabayan Bloc Party-list na ito ay mga legal front organization namin sa CPP-NPA which by the way designated by the Anti-Terrorism Council as communist terrorist group. Hindi kami ang nagbansag na sila ay kaibigan, kaanib o kabalikat ng CPP-NPA. Mismong si Mr. Sison ang nagsabi noon,” dagdag pa ni Sonza. Kaya malayo aniya sa katotohanan na nangre-redtag ang kanilang network na

Nag-ulumihan po kami na isang araw, bigla na lamang nagkaroon ng isang kautosan na kami po ay pinagbabawalan na magsahing papawid.

Ang feeling po namin nung matanggap namin ito, parang napaka-whimsical at capricious ng kautosan ng NTC.

Gawa ng wala namang kaming natanggap na pasubali na merong kaming inaarap na kasong administratibo kaya o teknikal na kami lumabag sa aming CPC, Certificate of Public Convenience.

NTC without consideration of the constitutionally guaranteed equal protection and due process initially suspended the network from going on the air on its assigned radio and television frequencies for a period of 30 days.

Simply based on a demand of a lady party-list representative, not content with this, NTC instead of providing the network the opportunity for fair play, issued a cease and desist order for an indefinite suspension solely upon the probing of some congressional district and party-list representatives.

NTC cited the House resolution calling for the suspension of the CPC.

NTC anchored principally on four allegations of violations of the state franchise and one violation of a previously issued suspension order.

Mr. Chairman, we maintain our stand that we are not in violation of our state franchise and of the Republic or under Republic Act 11422, which is cited as the basis of the NTC's indefinite suspension.

While the foresighted reasons are better addressed in detail by Senate in a proper committee hearing, which may be called for the purpose, allow me to mention in passing the following.

Dito nagkaroon, Mr. Chairman, ng kontrobersya.

Ang isa pong binabanggit nila, ang SMNI daw ay naging daan para sa red-tagging.

Bibigyan mo natin ng historical perspective.

Yung salitang red-tagging.

Yung pong mga pagre-red-tag o pagpawag na front organization, yung kabataan, party-list, yung Gabriela, yung ACT o Alliance of Concerned Teachers, ay hindi po nang galing sa media.

Ang mismo yung nagyabang nito ay walang iba kundi ang founding chairman ng CPP and PANDF, si Prof. Jose Maria Sison,

na sa ating tinitingala po namin bilang mga aktivista ng araw.

Ang sabi niya, na-available naman po ito sa worldwide net na pwedeng i-download ng ating sekretariat,

eh sabi niya, itong mga makabayan black party-list na ito ay mga legal front organization namin sa CPP-NPA,

which, by the way, Mr. Chairman, was designated by the Anti-Terrorism Council as communist terrorism.

So, hindi po kami ang nagbansag na sila ay kaibigan, taanib, o kabalikat ng CPP-NPA.

Mismo yung si Mr. Sison ang magsabi noon.

Kaya kung nababanggit sa mga balita na sila'y front organization,

it is only in deference to the pronouncement made by the founding chairman himself

that these makabayan black party-list are theirs.

So,

maingat po kami doon.

Kaya nga palagi namin sinasabi na

designated communist terrorist group.

Base po yan sa mismong gobyerno na nagatas na itong mga grupong ito.

In fact, two days ago lang, Mr. Chairman,

ay inulit ng Anti-Terrorism Council na sila po ay communist terrorist group.

So,

hindi po namin,

hindi po,

hindi po namin,

bakit kami tinatawag na

ang aming kasalanan ay nagre-red tag?

Kasi,

katunayan,

kung susunodin mo natin ng alituntunin ng broadcast,

nandito naman yung mga tagi-KBP,

dapat yung mga kalaban na estado ay hindi na inu-interview.

Pero yung mga traditional mainstream media,

ang malayang nag-i-interview

kay Mr. Sison at iba pang mga pinuno ng CPP-NPA.

So,

malayo po sa katotohanan

ng SMNI ay nagre-red tag.

So,
