MANILA, Philippines — National Security Adviser Eduardo Año again said on Saturday that the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-Elcac) would “completely crush” the New People’s Army (NPA) within the term of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

In a statement, Año said the NTF-Elcac, which has been getting an average of more than P10 billion every year since 2019, continues to achieve significant and laudable milestones.

“Under the Marcos administration, we will carry on with these achievements and we will make sure that during this administration, we will be able to completely crush these peace-spoilers,” he said.
