Tamang presented five issues and concerns involving the communist terrorist groups (CTGs) that need government action. These include the propaganda being launched by the CPP-NPA and their legal fronts especially in social media that aims to undermine the government efforts on COVID; fund raising and solicitation these groups are conducting; conduct of relief operations/mission of CTG; their criticism on the Social Amelioration Program, and the termination by NPA of the multilateral ceasefire last April 30 that signify their objective of advancing their communist agenda amid the COVID pandemic.

“The CTG would seek every opportunity to undermine government efforts in order to advance their communist agenda. Hence, the need for all of us to effectively pre-empt and actively expose their lies and deception,” Tamang said.

CRDRRMC Chairperson and OCD - CAR Regional Director Albert Mogol encouraged member agencies to continue with their programs and services and highlight the good news and best practices while at the same time help counter the lies and misinformation that the CTG are doing. He also advised the law enforcement agencies to look into the relief mission of the CTGs that may have been violating the rules on Authority of Person Outside Residence under the Enhanced Community Guidelines or General CQ guidelines.
