00:00 The National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict or NTF-ELCAC should not be abolished or broken.
00:07 President Bongbong Marcos said it himself.
00:11 There is no reason why we should remove it.
00:14 They say it's because of red tagging.
00:19 The government is not doing that.
00:21 Quite the opposite.
00:23 The fastest answer to that is no, we will not abolish the NTF-ELCAC.
00:28 The President added that the NTF-ELCAC has a great responsibility in reducing internal security threats in the Philippines.
00:35 They just thought of removing it if it's not necessary anymore.
00:39 There are still some barangays in the Philippines where there are people who have turned against the government and have not been helped.
00:47 They will finish it.
00:49 In 2018, former President Rodrigo Duterte formed the NTF-ELCAC to fight against terrorists
00:56 and to promote peace in the country.
00:58 The task force was previously accused of red tagging civilians.
01:03 Some groups and organizations have called for the abolition of the NTF-ELCAC as a human rights watch.
01:09 Following the declaration of the Supreme Court that human rights and security are the most important priority in life, the NTF-ELCAC is now red tagging.
