National Security Adviser Hermogenes Esperon Jr.

challenged senators and congressmen on Saturday, May 1, to defund the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict if they want the national government’s anti-insurgency efforts to go to waste.

“Itong problema ng CPP-NPA [Communist Party of the Philippines – New People’s Army] ay 53 years na. Kung gusto niyong patuloy na mayroong sunugan, pangongotong, at pagpatay sa countryside eh ‘di kalimutan na niyo itong anti-insurgency, itong NTF-ELCAC para magkagulo na talaga ,” Esperon said at a virtual “Laging Handa” press briefing.

But Esperon argued that defunding the task force would mean the cancellation of the BDP which aims to bring development projects in 822 barangays that are former guerilla bases but have been cleared of communist influence by government forces from 2016 to 2019. Of the entire NTF-ELCAC budget, P16.5 billion is allotted for the BDP.

Tahimik mga shawarat na never nakatira malapit sa kampo ng mga rebelde. Andami ng mayors at sibilyan nagreklamo dahil sa defund2x na yan. Bakit di yang 15B nyong senate building ang tanggalin? Total wla nman kaung ginawa kundi matulog at magpokpok jan wla nmang maayos na batas.

gago ka esperon, bakit ka bibigay sa mga istupidong senador. kakampi nila yung mga komunista dahil may kapalit yan. wag kang tanga gagu.

tinatapak-tapakan lang ni esperon yung senado?

Parang yung pagpatay at pangongotong sa admin nyo naman galing 🤮

Hahaha sinabi mo ba sir sa NCR ba yan

Ang yabang nito! F**k you General!

Huwag magkumpyansa sa mga Komunista!!!

Is that s threat?

Submit your report to the people how you spend your budget, we will support if you could substantiate these so called countryside development.

Ewan ko lang, wala naman nkita ng accomplishment ang dept na yan

red tagging lang naman alam nyo gawen in same way community quarantine lang solusyon ni dutae sa pandemya

Use your budget in a proper way...that’s the point why senators want to defund you...your not using it in country side....use using it in urban areas red tagging...

False insurgency is thriving because govt is failing to do what is best for the country and it's people it's not because of defunding your inutile agency!

Saan NPA dito? 1M na naapektuhan ng Covid, 17,000 na namatay. So, eto, para saan?

This admin has such a low opinion of its citizens. Oplan Tokhang, Drug Martrices, Ouster Plots, Red Tagging. No due process. All the same. Guilty till proven innocent. But for the administration and allies, justification, excuses, due process and innocent till proven guilty.

We taxpayers want a rights-respecting anti-insurgency drive that truly address the roots of armed rebellion. Not with NTF-ELCAC of which taxpayers' money is being utilized to perpetuate the China-backed Duterte in power - the task force serves as an electoral machinery.

That's exactly what these senators want, to allow the insurgents to proliferate......tama ba sotto_tito

Kaya nga may stupid na senador, kc hindi nila alam mga yan 😂 😂 😂

NPA ba talaga ang pumapatay sa countryside? Yan ang tanong na dapat nyong sagutin. Baka puro kayo sisi sa NPA eh baka nasa hanay nyo yung mga totoong berdugo.

hindi naman yata kayang gawing nang lawmakers yun without the apporval of the executives

Mas importante mga taong nagugutom kesa jan sa insurgency nyo.

The CPP NDF NPA is an illegal terror organization and enemy of the state, whose ultimate objective is to overthrow the government through armed rebellion. NO TO COMMUNISM NO TO TERRORISM

Ask that to yourself... Have you behaving well?

Huwag magkumpyansa sa mga Komunista!!!

Same logic ba ito sa defund Commission on Human Rights, allow human rights violation committed by the Government?

This, Sir, is anti insurgency?
