Press Statement

March 13, 2025

In these challenging times, it is disheartening to see how groups such as the CPP-NPA-NDF are attempting to exploit the situation to further their agenda of destabilization and violence, with the ultimate goal of undermining our democratic government and imposing a communist regime.

I want to assure you that, despite this situation, we remain unwavering in our commitment to serve the people and to combat insurgency. We understand the sacrifices that all peace-loving Filipinos have made in the pursuit of peace and development. Together, we have made tremendous strides, and it is our collective responsibility to safeguard the progress we have achieved.

As we move forward, let us stand united in our resolve. Together, we will not only confront these threats but also build a brighter future for our country. Our dedication to peace and development will not waver, and we will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that the gains we have made are sustained for generations to come.

Let us remain focused and continue to work hand in hand for a peaceful and prosperous Philippines.

Together, we shall prevail.
