‘Funding Reds may turn into transnational crime’

The Armed Forces of the Philippines warned homeland security officials in Asia-Pacific countries that the “funding schemes” perpetrated by groups linked to the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) could become a “transnational crime problem.”

Maj. Gen. Antonio Parlade, the military’s deputy chief of staff for civil-military operations, sought the cooperation of various nations to fight the “wide international network” of the organizations “infiltrated” by the CPP.
