Justice Sec. Menardo Guevarra on Thursday backed moves by lawmakers to pass a law defining and criminalizing red-tagging, saying the frequency of complaints related to red-tagging has become disturbing.

"In the past few months, medyo sunod-sunod 'yung mga reklamo about red-tagging. People have raised their voice against it so might as well have one . The frequency of these acts loosely called red-tagging has really become quite disturbing," he said in an interview on ANC's Headstart.

"Meron kasing nagrerequest na imbestigahan ng Department of Justice through the National Bureau of Investigation itong mga sinasabing acts of red-tagging. Sabi ko of course I can discuss it with the NBI. Kaya lamang kung ang talagang gustong mangayri ay i-prosecute through red-tagging, sinabi ko na wala naman tayong existing law against red-tagging," he added.
