Moreover, about 81 municipalities and cities have already declared the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army as “persona non grata” and a total of 178 barangays are already into the community mobilization program.

“Members of RTF-ELCAC III are constantly uniting efforts in addressing the communist insurgency pursuant to Executive Order No. 70 or the whole-of-nation approach in attaining inclusive and sustainable peace. On the part of the police, we continue to implement our programs relative to our massive campaign against insurgency as we engage the different sectors of society including the academe,” Coronel added.
