There is no gag order by the National Security Adviser Hermogenes Esperon on me and Lt Gen Parlade. He has not silenced us.
A gag order means that we have been asked to stop issuing public statements and this is not the case with Lt General Antonio Parlade and I.
The clear guidance from Sec Esperon was to simply cease making comments about the community pantry now that we both got our message to the Filipino people across and done our duty.
And like good soldiers, we will follow.
We both remain as spokespersons of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict. And we will both continue to speak the Truth about the communist terrorist group, the CPP NPA NDF, so that their deceptions and their pretensions and lies may be known by our people.
And we will continue to speak about the healing and redemptive truth of a government that serves the Filipino people faithfully and courageously. A government that will stop at nothing to defend and protect the people it has sworn to defend.
And we will stop at nothing in ending the reign of terror of this group that has brought so much pain and suffering on our people- the CPP NPA NDF.
The National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict remains strong and committed in its resolve to finally bring to our people and our land the Peace that has eluded us all these decades.
