Talent-manager in communist hit list

MANILA (Reuter): A communist hit squad warned the woman who
rigged a Philippine film awards ceremony that she had been added
to their hit list, a local radio station said.

The communist Alex Boncayao Brigade issued the warning to
talent manager Lolita Solis, one of seven people charged with
fraud in arranging to falsely name Filipino beauty queen Ruffa
Gutierrez and youthful star Gabby Concepcion as best actor and
actress.

The 48-year-old talent manager said later on the same radio
station she was prepared to die if that was to be her punishment.

"I'm just sorry that people I love, my children, have been
dragged into this scandal," she said. "I'm scared, but I'm more
scared about the future of my children," she added. Solis has two
children.

The Alex Boncayao Brigade is a communist hit squad operating
in Manila that is notorious for killing police, military and
others they claim have committed grave sins against the people.
