MAZA: STOP USING MYRNA BUENDIA TO FUEL LEFT-RIGHT CONSPIRACY THEORY ON MANILA PEN INCIDENT

“It is utterly malicious and chauvinist for the Philippine National
Police to keep Myrna Buendia— a woman in her sixties and suffering
from various illnesses—in their custody and use her as a pawn just so
they can concoct their bankrupt left-right conspiracy theory on the
Manila Peninsula incident. Again, we bear witness to these cheap shots
at red-baiting being woven by the PNP.”

This was the statement issued by Gabriela Women’s Party Representative
Liza Largoza Maza today as she called for the immediate release of
Myrna Buendia, the lone remaining female civilian detainee in Camp
Crame charged with rebellion in relation to the Manila Peninsula
crisis last November 29.

“We find no reason for the Philippine National Police to detain her
further. There is no conclusive evidence to support allegations of
rebellion as well as her involvement in the November 29 incident,”
said Rep. Maza, expressing much alarm at PNP Chief Avelino Razon’s
attempts to link Buendia to the Communist Party of the Philippines.

Buendia’s family who approached Rep. Maza’s office for assistance said
is already 63 years old, and has diabetes and asthma. Buendia is also
suffering from mild hearing loss, osteoarthritis in both knees,
hypertension and cerebrovascular insufficiency. #
