National Security Council (NSC) Undersecretary Vicente Agdamag, also the executive director of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict, disclosed that 60 percent of the generated foreign aid were allegedly used by the reported fronts of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (CPP-NPA) to purchase weapons while only 40 percent went to proposed projects in the rural areas where the foreign aid was supposed to be used.

CPP-NPA Front organizations were able to amass some 98 million euros or over P5 billion in foreign aid from the European Union (EU) over the past several years that was used to beef up the communist movement in different parts of the country.

The matter on the foreign aid being used to purchase arms for the rebels was already brought to the attention of the EU and that the Philippine government was advised to file appropriate charges against the left-leaning NGOs that were found to have been involved in the fraudulent use of the foreign aid instead of being used for the benefit of people in the remote villages who were used to justify the funding for the community-based projects from the foreign donors.
