NTF-ELCAC exec alleges alliance between Robredo, CPP; communist leader denies allegation
The National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) has accused Vice President Leni Robredo of lying about a supposed alliance with the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People's Army-National Democratic Front (CPP-NPA-NDF).
NTF-ELCAC Spokesperson Lorraine Marie Badoy criticized Robredo's denial of rumors linking her and her volunteers to the CPP-NPA-NDF, claiming Robredo should stop insulting Filipinos' intelligence.
Badoy pointed to the endorsement of Robredo's candidacy by CPP founder Jose Maria "Joma" Sison and the endorsement from the Makabayan Bloc as evidence of the alleged pact.
The NTF-ELCAC stated that Robredo's camp should stop insulting the intelligence of Filipinos by denying the alleged deal with the group, which has been designated as a terrorist organization by multiple countries and the Philippines.
