PNP chief, Gen. Dionardo Carlos (File photo) MANILA - The Philippine National Police (PNP) has joined the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) in condemning the violent attack initiated by communist New People's Army (NPA) rebels, which killed a police officer in Sorsogon earlier this week.

(File photo) MANILA - The whole-of-nation approach pushed under the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte has been "very effective" in dismantling various guerilla fronts of the communist terrorist groups (CTGs) in the country. Presidential Adviser for Peace, Reconciliation and Unity, Secretary Carlito G. Galvez Jr., earlier said addressing the communist insurgency in Central Luzon has become more challenging amid the health crisis, but the Duterte administration's whole-of-nation strategy made the responses bearable. Galvez, who is also the Cabinet Officer for Regional Development and Security (CORDS) for Central Luzon, said the strategic approach of different government agencies working together with the local government units (LGUs) and the security forces, to putting an end to the decades-long communist insurgency has been very crucial, particularly in restoring developments in various conflict-afflicted areas.
