The National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP), the biggest lateral organization of Filipino journalists, conducted a survey and focus group discussions (FGD) among journalists who have been redtagged during the presidencies of Duterte and Marcos.
The study found that as high as 60% of the red-tagging incidents in the last eight years have been state-sponsored, and 19.8% of the red-tagging by State employed the intimidating method of dropping by, or sending a letter, where State agents cite different government policies as basis.
The rest of the red-tagging incidents were perpetrated by influencers or unknown individuals or groups. The red-tagging incidents by unknown perpetrators sometimes used physical methods like posters, but used mostly social media platforms that were amplified by the network of pro-Duterte or pro-Marcos accounts.
