"Meron hugot kasi... Jim keeps harping about the EJK or the people who died from drugs when his own mother was very much part of the LIGHT A FIRE MOVEMENT along w/ Steve Psinakis. They were responsible for bombing different establishments here including the old Philippine Plaza where innocent people died. This was where Nonoy Zuniga lost his leg! Guess who pardoned her mother when she got jailed? Cory... So how can he talk about killing the innocent when his own mother has blood on her hands!"
The veteran actress exposed the dirty and bloody past of Jim Paredes' mother who was pardoned for being a part of the Light A Fire Movement . The movement was headed by eminent personalities who went against the Martial Law. In the early 80's, their group did numerous bombings that created huge chaos within Metro Manila. Its members were trained in the United States and were made to target the Philippines.
Which made the actress question Jim Paredes' statements about the killings of innocent when his own mother did worst back in the day.
"They were responsible for bombing different establishments here including the old Philippine Plaza where innocent people died," the actress said.
The actress also shared a link of a blog called Kahimyang where the movement was tackled.
