With the election season about to heat up, the Armed Forces
of the Philippines (AFP) advised candidates campaigning in the rural areas not
to give in to the New People's Army's (NPA's) "permit to campaign"
and "permit to win" scams.
AFP public affairs office chief Col. Noel Detoyato Tuesday
said that giving in to the demands of the NPA will only give the faltering
rebel movement funds to buy ammunition and firearms which they will use to
wreck havoc and mayhem on peaceful communities.
Rebel forces are still a threat in the Davao Region, Compostela Valley
and some parts of Northern Luzon .
Detoyato also urged politicians, being extorted on by the
rebels, to report these incidents to the military so that proper action can be
taken against the NPA.
