NTF-ELCAC condemns NPA killings in Negros Island

The National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) has strongly condemned the killings of Raul Loterio and Jomy Pelarta in Negros Island, which the New People's Army (NPA) claimed responsibility for.

The NPA's Romeo Nanta Command (RNC) stated that Loterio was killed on November 13 and Pelarta on November 6, with both individuals allegedly being intelligence assets of the Philippine Army's 94th Infantry Battalion.

NTF-ELCAC described the killings as a disturbing return to purge-style executions and accused the CPP-NPA of targeting civilians under the guise of 'revolutionary justice' and 'spy-tagging'.

The task force challenged the Makabayan bloc to denounce these killings claimed by the CPP-NPA across the country.
