Read the Vice President's Message
“The so-called protracted war must end. And it must end now,” Vice President Sara Duterte said Wednesday night during the 1st National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ECLAC) Executive Committee Meeting in Malacanang.
She was referring to the atrocities of the terrorist group New People’s Army (NPA).
“This is a show of force — a clear, strong, and powerful statement and warning — against the enemies of the state who slaughter civilians and Indigenous Peoples, abduct and murder and execute members of our security forces, and attempt to pin down our progress as a nation through their ideals anchored on brainwashing, fear, and terrorism,” she said.
VP Sara has been designated as Co-Vice Chairperson of NTF-ELCAC.
