Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon on Tuesday questioned the government's spending priorities amid the COVID-19 pandemic, noting the"hasty" release of over ₱10 billion to the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict .
The budget of the NTF-ELCAC for this year is ₱19 billion, with ₱16.4 to be spent for its Barangay Development Program as incentives for barangays cleared of insurgency threats. "Yet, the government is giving priority to NTF-ELCAC's anti-insurgency program rather than use the funds to expand ayuda , buy vaccines and feed the poor," he added.

Congress can call for special audit of NTF-ELCAC funds, Drilon saysIndeed audit!!!! How can the spend billions in less than a month. 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. 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?
