For Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Police General Oscar Albayalde, the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and its armed wing, the New People's Army (NPA), could be behind the United Nations Human Rights Council's (UNHCR's) move to adopt a resolution seeking a probe on the government's drugs war.

"Possible, it's because it's part of propaganda. Also, and you know, 'yung CPP-NPA is so against the Duterte administration now," Albayalde suggested on Friday.

As to how it was possible for the Philippine communist group to have such influence on the UNHCR, the PNP chief pointed out that the rebels had "contacts and connections."


"Alam naman natin na may mga other sectors in our society, in our community na secretly funding and supporting this underground movement. Hindi magiging more than 50 years ito kung walang suporta ito," Albayalde said.

On Thursday, the UNHRC passed a resolution which seeks probe on the thousands of killings from President Rodrigo Duterte's controversial war against illegal drugs.

Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro "Teddyboy" Locsin Jr. described the Iceland-led resolution as a "travesty" incited by "false information."

The PNP earlier said it would remain guided by instruction from higher authorities as to how to deal with the UNHRC resolution.
