MANILA – The government continues to win the hearts and minds of Filipinos and is close to attaining “decisive victory” against communist insurgency through good governance and better services, an official of the Philippine National Police (PNP) said on Monday.
“Halos abot-kamay na ang ating decisive victory. Marami na ang naniniwala sa programa ng ating pamahalaan. Kaya marami na rin ang sumusuko sa kanila (communist terrorist group). (Decisive victory is almost within our reach. Many people now believe in the effectiveness of our government’s projects. This is why many communist terrorist group members have surrendered). After five decades, this is the only administration that is able to provide a holistic solution to insurgency problem,” PNP director for operations, Maj. Gen. Rhodel Sermonia, said in a virtual press briefing of the National Task Force To End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF ELCAC).
