Congress can call for a special audit of the funds of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict , Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon said on Wednesday.

Drilon on Tuesday questioned the “speedy” release of the government’s controversial anti-insurgency task force’s P10.68-billion fund under the 2021 national budget following criticisms on its red-tagging activities on organizers of community pantries.

“In the Senate, we can exercise our oversight functions, I strongly suggest to the Senate that we exercise our oversight functions in order to look into these releases to me, given the times and the needs, is totally inappropriate in terms of this government’s priorities,” he stressed. “To me, I raise the issue of the priorities of the administration. All that we are asking is to postpone the projects under the NTF-ELCAC. Can we not wait until the end of the year and let us address first the hunger that we see and the unemployment that we see today?” Drilon pointed out.

The senator intimated the funds could have been used for COVID-19 assistance programs such as the the proposed P8,000 “ayuda” or the P24- billion cash assistance for private sector workers hit by the pandemic, which still remains unfunded.

Stupig!

Why is Drilon against NTF-ELCAC? Is he a supporter of the CPP NDF NPA, which is an illegal terror organization and enemy of the state, whose ultimate objective is to overthrow the government through armed rebellion?

Daming powers ng Senado, investigator, prosecutor, judge.. Pati auditor pala sila na rin. Kaya daming may gusto mag senador/politiko. Pag daming trabaho, daming pera din.
