Former president Rodrigo Duterte has claimed that the NTF-ELCAC was a “very successful” initiative of the AFP in reducing the number of communist insurgents. This needs context.
Ayon sa EO No. 70 na pinirmahan ni Duterte noong 2018, itinatag ang NTF-ELCAC sa ilalim ng Office of the President, hindi ng AFP, para tulungan ang mga komunidad na nanganganib dahil sa armadong-tunggalian.
Baseless and unproven accusations linking prominent political figures to the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and its military arm, the New People’s Army (NPA), continue circulating online two years after the controversial Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) of 2020 took effect.
Mga walang basehan at hindi napatunayang akusasyon na nag-uugnay sa mga kilalang personalidad sa pulitika sa Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) at armadong grupo nito, ang New People's Army (NPA), ay patuloy na kumakalat online dalawang taon matapos magkabisa ang kontrobersyal na Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) ng 2020.
Ang deklarasyon ng ibang bansa sa isang entity bilang "terorista" ay hindi bahagi ng mga kinakailangan ng Pilipinas para italaga ang mga grupo bilang "terorista" sa ilalim ng Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) ng 2020.
Other countries' declaration of an entity as “terrorist” is not part of the Philippines’ requirements to designate groups as “terrorist” under the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) of 2020.
Matapos tawagin ang mandato ng National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) bilang "duplication ng mga gawain," sinabi na ngayon ni Bise Presidente Leni Robredo na siya ay "sumusuporta sa mandato at tungkulin ng ahensya."
From calling the mandate of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) a “duplication of efforts,” Vice President Leni Robredo now says she is "all for [the agency's] mandate and functions."
Presidential aspirant and Vice President Leni Robredo drew the ire of human rights groups Saturday for her statement that she is “all for the mandate and the functions” of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC).
The original images feature youth activists carrying white bond paper with slogans that read: “DEFUND NTF-ELCAC! DEFEND COMMUNITY PANTRIES!."
