A RANKING official of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-Elcac) said the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and its armed wing, the New People's Army (NPA), will soon be an insignificant threat, as the country ushered in the New Year.
"Despite the CPP's denials, the NTF-ELCAC's achievements speak volumes. Through our concerted efforts, we have dismantled 88 out of 89 guerrilla fronts and benefitted 4,830 geographically isolated and disadvantaged barangays through the Barangay Development Program, effectively eradicating the CTGs (communist terrorist groups) in their traditional strongholds," NTF-Elcac Executive Director Ernesto Torres Jr. said in a statement Wednesday.
