00:00 The Visayas Command filed a formal complaint against the Armed Forces of the Philippines,

00:05 an NGO that is suspected of funding the operation and arms of a rebel group.

00:12 This is what Jessie Atienza of PTV Cebu reported.

00:16 One but one!

00:20 The PNP is a gang, but one!

00:24 This group responded to the protest on the streets.

00:28 The Department of Justice in Cebu led a preliminary investigation.

00:32 After filing a formal complaint, the Armed Forces of the Philippines

00:38 filed a case against almost 30 Board of Trustees of an NGO

00:42 known as Community Empowerment Resource Network or CERNET.

00:45 According to the investigation and tracing conducted by the AFP,

00:49 the NGO is using the so-called "Umano" to collect money

00:53 from foundations abroad

00:56 in an attempt to use the funds to carry out projects with the LGUs.

01:02 According to the AFP, when the money is collected,

01:05 60% goes to the Communist Terrorist Group,

01:09 while the remaining 40% goes to the project.

01:14 In order for them to sustain their atrocities and operations,

01:17 they do not just rely on the money collected from the extortion activities,

01:23 but they have mastered their fund generation scheme legally

01:27 through the creation of NGOs,

01:30 thus making this Communist Terrorist Group

01:33 the most organized crime syndicate in the country.

01:37 The addition of the AFP is a big step and an answer to the question

01:41 of where the Communist Terrorist Group gets the funds

01:44 for their operations and buying weapons.

01:48 In the past few weeks,

01:49 12 members of the New People's Army were killed in a clash

01:54 between Bohol and Negros Occidental.

01:56 According to the AFP's investigation,

01:58 the CTGs who were encountered

02:01 were among those who received the funds from CERNET.

02:05 We had to stop or put an end to the terror acts of the CTGs

02:10 and expose their discipline tactics

02:13 and cut their resources in supporting their armed struggle.

02:18 So that's why we are doing this.

02:20 This is for our countrymen.

02:21 This is for the victims of the decades-long

02:25 of their terroristic actions, activities.

02:28 The VISAIS Command filed a complaint against the Terrorism,

02:30 Financing, Prevention and Suppression Act of 2012

02:33 against the Board of Trustees of the included NGOs.

02:39 The AFP continues to trace

02:42 the NGOs that are possibly being used to fund

02:46 the illegal operations of the Communist terrorist groups in Visayas.

02:50 From PTV Cebu, Jesse Atienza, for the nation.
