AFP Statement on Designation of NDFP as Terrorist Organization
- Details
The Armed Forces of the Philippines lauds the designation of the National Democratic Front as a terrorist organization by the Anti-Terrorism Council.
It has been a long time coming.
The designation affirms the duplicity of the Communist Party of the Philippines that commands their armed group New People's Army and the so-called legal front that provides support for their terroristic activities.
We believe that this decision by our higher civilian authorities will significantly help our troops on the ground by preventing the operation of underground mass organizations that recruit and raise funds for the armed group.
We are now closer, more than ever, in achieving a complete victory against the CPP-NPA-NDF and in freeing our communities from the communist terrorist threat.///
