From PTV News (Oct 21, 2020): PNP clarifies tarps declaring CPP-NPA-NDF as persona non grata are from NTF-ELCAC

The Philippine National Police (PNP) clarified that it is not behind the production of the tarpaulin seen in Manila declaring the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army-National Democratic Front (CPP-NPA-NDF) as persona non grata in Metro Manila.

PNP Chief Police General Camilo Cascolan stated that the tarpaulins that carried the PNP logo, and phone number are from the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC). The task force has a partnership with the local government units (LGUs) and the police.

The PNP Chief reiterated that the police force will not tolerate the illegal activities and abuses of the leftist group and will not let insurgency escalate in the country again.

Meanwhile, PGen. Cascolan also assured that the PNP is constantly monitoring members of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG). The public has nothing to worry about since terrorists in Metro Manila will be arrested.
