00:00And at this point, let's discuss the update on the programs of the current administration, here in Mr. President on the go.
00:22First of all, fellow countrymen, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. clarified that he will not include the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict or NTF-ELCA.
00:33This is according to National Security Council Assistant Director General Jonathan Malaya.
00:39This is as a response to the call of Gabriela Pardes, to stop the so-called task force.
00:45Malaya said that President R. Marcos Jr. will not include the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict or NTF-ELCA.
00:56President R. Marcos Jr. also said that the task force must continue its work to end the decades-long problem of insurgency in the country.
01:08According to the President, the efforts will bear fruit. These efforts must continue.
01:15Malaya also reiterated that the task force is giving a big blow to the Communist Party of the Philippines, New People's Army, National Democratic Front or CPP-NPA-NDF.
01:26And the insurgency is at its lowest point in the more than 50 years of its operation so far.
01:35Malaya said that at the moment, there is only one weakened or weakened guerrilla front in the province of Camarinasur.
01:42In a big reduction from the 89 active fronts that were faced by the NTF-ELCA when it was established.
01:49Malaya emphasized the big decline of the CPP-NPA for many reasons, including the death of prominent leaders such as Jose Maria Joma Sison,
01:59and the recent death of Mirna Solarte.
02:02Malaya also emphasized the role of the Focused Military and Police Operations, the success of the Barangay Development Program, and the continuous localised peace engagements.
02:11And despite the lack of support from the masses, the Communist group will not be able to implement their revolutionary tacks or tactics of Permit-to-Win and Permit-to-Campaign
02:23which has been a major threat to security in the past decades.
02:27And that was the update on the programs of the current administration until the next episode of Mr. President on the go.
