ACT Teachers party-list Rep.

Lorraine Badoy, who has occupied three positions in the Duterte administration in a span of months the last of which is as spokesman of the rigid and infamous National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict by virtue of EO 70 of December 4, 2018, continues to salivate for fame and name recall by red tagging private and public citizens as she pleases.
