Vice President Leni Robredo says the government’s fight against communist insurgency cannot be won through pure military solution, stressing that the root cause of the decades-long armed struggle must be addressed, too. | GabrielLaluINQ
She said a whole-of-nation approach should be adopted, which means going to the root cause of the insurgency, such as landlessness and grinding poverty.
She said no amount of killings and fightings could end the insurgency for as long as inequity and injustice persist.She said she was in discussion with Senator Franklin Drilon, who hails from Iloilo, about projects like dams to be complete in two years. Robredo recently attracted controversy after she initially pushed for the abolition of the controversial National Task Force to End the Local Communist Armed Conflict , on grounds that it has been used to abuse and harass activists and critics of the government.But in a security briefing with top AFP officials last November 26, Robredo was quoted as saying that she supports NTF-ELCAC’s mandate and functions, adding that some of its members are only careless.
