00:00A NON-FACING DECLARATION!
00:03That's what National Security Advisor Secretary Eduardo Año gave
00:08in accordance with the declaration of the CPP-NPA-NDF
00:12that there will be no holiday truce or ceasefire.
00:16According to Año, this is because the number of terrorist communists
00:20has decreased in a weak guerrilla front
00:23that cannot launch a large operation against the security forces
00:28or recruit new members.
00:30Año, this decline is a result of the government's continued efforts
00:36under the NTF-ELCAC and the support of the communities
00:42in fighting the insurgency and promoting inclusive development.
