My Support goes to my country
THIS is me during the signing of the Pledge of Commitment on my hometown; declaring the CPP-NPA-NDF as Persona Non-grata (MARCH 02, 2020 at Sitio Talifara, ALEGRIA) |
It is now the time for government and people to make
calibrated steps to thwart this narrative of a failed ideology that cannot seem
to work in this country.
The Government has taken an important step in confronting
long-drawn-out issues brought about by the 50-year existence of the Communist
Party of the Philippines bolstered by its militia, the New People’s Army and
political arm, the National Democratic Front (CPPA-NPA-NDF). For decades, these
communist-terrorist groups (CTG) have been fighting a Maoist-concept guerilla
warfare with the primary aim of overthrowing the government.
President Duterte issued Executive Order No. 70 in December
2018 establishing a whole-of-nation approach in ending local communist armed
conflict through the creation of a national task force (NTF) that will take the
lead in institutionalizing a national peace framework. As a matter of state
principle and policy as mandated by the Constitution, the government shall
maintain “peace and order, the protection of life, liberty, and property” and
promote the general welfare.
It took us 50 years to make this preliminary move of engaging the whole nation and while the armed forces still consider the CPP-NPA-NDF as a potent security threat due to its capacity to operate nationally and the ability to infiltrate government and private institutions, it cannot deny that they are struggling for survival.
