National Security Adviser Hermogenes Esperon, Jr. dismissed allegations the funding allocated for the anti-communist task force under the proposed 2021 national budget was a form of 'pork barrel' for generals. READ:

MANILA--National Security Adviser Hermogenes Esperon on Saturday said the P16.4-billion budget proposal for the government's anti-insurgency task force would be used to spur economic development in far-flung areas where rebels used to settle.

Under the task force's "Support to the Barangay Development Program," some 822 villages cleared of insurgency from 2016 to 2019 will receive P20 million worth of projects. The security official said his agency originally proposed a P32-billion funding for the program because there were also 609 more villages cleared of insurgency in 2020.
