Lorraine Marie Tablang Badoy-Partosa, [2] [3] better known as Lorraine Badoy and sometimes also called Lorraine Partosa, [4] is a Filipino physician, [5] government official, and political figure best known for having been one of the spokespersons of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict, [6] and for being involved in various controversies relating to the practice of red-tagging in the Philippines. [7] [8] [9]

Badoy-Partosa was also Undersecretary of the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) [10] and Assistant Secretary of the Department of Social Welfare and Development. [11] She is the half-sister of advocacy leader and educator Gang Badoy [12] and the niece of former Cotabato City Mayor Ludovico Badoy. [13]

Prior to her appointment to government, Badoy-Partosa was a supporter of President Rodrigo Duterte during his campaign. [14]

Civil complaints seeking ₱2 million in damages have been filed against Badoy-Partosa by activist Carol Araullo [15] and separately, by her son, journalist Atom Araullo, [16] due to Badoy-Partosa's repeated public red-tagging of them. Atom Araullo chose not to file libel charges against Badoy-Partosa, as he opposes the criminalization of libel, which is often used to harass legitimate media in the Philippines. [16] In December 2024, the Quezon City Regional Trial Court promulgated a ₱2-million fine against Badoy-Partosa and Jeffrey "Ka Eric" Celiz for red-baiting Atom Araullo. [17]

On February 29, 2024, the Supreme Court of the Philippines fined Badoy ₱30,000 for indirect contempt of court per publication of vitriolic statements and outright threats. She was convicted of online red-tagging Manila RTC, Branch 19 Judge Marlo A. Magdoza-Malagar calling him an "idiot judge" who lawyered for the CPP-NPA. [18]
