MANILA, Philippines — Rep. Carlos Zarate (Bayan Muna party-list) said the Makabayan bloc would not support former president and now House Speaker Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo whose “record of human rights is also foul.”
In an interview after President Rodrigo Duterte’s third State of the Nation Address, he said the Makabayan bloc would never forget Arroyo’s crimes where more than a thousand people—including his co-Bayan Muna members—were allegedly killed under the former president.
Watch as Zarate explains why the Makabayan bloc would never support Arroyo just as how they never supported former House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez.
