Colmenares says Robredo’s ‘turnaround’ on NTF-Elcac’s abolition is ‘worrisome’

MANILA, Philippines — Senatorial aspirant and former Bayan Muna lawmaker Neri Colmenares on Saturday decried as “worrisome” the supposed change in the position of Vice President Leni Robredo on the abolition of the National Taskforce to End Local Communist Armed Conflict .

Robredo, who previously called for the abolition of the task force, is now expressing support for it, as she noted that“VP Leni’s seeming turnaround on her earlier call to abolish the NTF-Elcac is worrisome,” Colmenares said in a statement. “May I respectfully point out to the Vice President that the problem with the NTF-ELCAC can not be merely attributed to its “careless members” but to a systemic policy that includes harassment and attacks against anyone perceived to be left-leaning or critical of the administration,” he added.

JEMendozaINQ Pagiisipan ko ulit kong isasama ko pa ni cong Neri sa line up ng Senatoriables ko. Parang may hindi tama sa banat nya ngayon. Palagay ko lang naman🥸

JEMendozaINQ Ayaw namin sa komunismo.

JEMendozaINQ Ayaw ko na kay Leni, pabago-bago. 🙄

JEMendozaINQ Nope. VP Leni is still for the abolition. VP Leni goes a step further once NTF-ELCAC is abolished. She answers what happens to the barangay dev programs bec this goes along with her position on how to deal with insurgency.

JEMendozaINQ Yun Headlines lang binasa akala mo alam nya na lahat! ☝️🤣👈

JEMendozaINQ Sayang ka Neri...sa dami ng kandidato sa pagkapangulo si Leni pa ang binubutasan mo! That is something to think about.

JEMendozaINQ bitterness hindi kc sinama ni Leni s senatorial nya kya ngayon nag uumpisa pagiging reklamador nito. Ngayon p lng alam mo n aatupagin nito kpg si Leni ang manalo

JEMendozaINQ I dunno why this made me like Leni more. Parang aligned na aligned talaga kame ni Mama Leni. Haha.

JEMendozaINQ Votes straight team Leni ❤️ 2022

JEMendozaINQ Hay naku kung gusto natin umunlad at pag babago tigilan nyo yan ugali na puro ngawa nlng kya pla ayaw ka isama ni VP Leni sa ticket nya dahil sarado ang isip ang sarling gusto lng sinusunod .

JEMendozaINQ o diba napansin na ni Leni na baka pagupo nyang presidente unang araw pa lang sinugod na sya ng tangke

JEMendozaINQ I think may rason bakit d to naisama sa senatorial slate ni Leni. Sarado ang utak. Sayang akala ko pa naman talaga may totoong makabayang ipinaglalaban to.

JEMendozaINQ Hahahahaha.. Yan si Leni basta may machika lng sa sosyal midya 😂😂😂

JEMendozaINQ This is one reason leftist don't win. They aren't unifying.

JEMendozaINQ You people didn't get it. Leni is not anti-NTF Bgy Devt Program as it mirrors Jesse's Participatory Governance program. (BDP is military driven while PG is LGU/NGO/grassroots powered.) She will pursue a wholistic Bgy Devt Program (whatever name it's called) with NO red-tagging.

JEMendozaINQ Read her full statement. Stop using just the bits without the full context.

JEMendozaINQ Pop corn muna tayo

JEMendozaINQ She needs to win first before she can implement changes. Itong mga NPA supporters na to gusto yata si Marcos na magpresidente. Ano ipagkakait nyo na ang 3.5 million votes nyo kay Leni at sino susuportahan nyo si Isko? Fine.

JEMendozaINQ I think Leni is trying to distance herself

JEMendozaINQ npa

JEMendozaINQ Don't worry both of you will not be around after 2022

JEMendozaINQ vernontangdolyahoo.com🤡

JEMendozaINQ di ba?! worrisome...di pa elected yan ha

Robredo: NTF-ELCAC in bad light because of 'baseless red-tagging'Vice President Leni Robredo said she supports the country's controversial anti-communist task force, which she believes is in a bad light because of past actions and statements of its members. How does she know those are baseless, when Commies were identified by their own cadres? Another case of Leni being Leni. Since the task force is under the office of the president, it gives the impression that it has more authority than the other agencies. It also gives the impression that if the president is an vengeful as the one that we have now, with no regard as to whom to red-tag, ... The communists insurgency is a brutal, deeply rooted and complex organization and clearly Leni is way over her head in understanding this matter by these statements. They are just playing her. Enough already
