(Press Statement from NTF-ELCAC)
The NTF ELCAC would like to thank the President for speaking the truth clearly and unequivocally to the Filipino people when he identified KABATAAN, ALLIANCE OF CONCERNED TEACHERS ACT, BAYAN MUNA, ANAKPAWIS, GABRIELA as partylists of the terrorist CPP NPA NDF.
We are grateful that he gave our countrymen a mnemonic so that they will remember these liars who stand before them asking them to trust them with their votes while at the same time lying about who it is they truly are.
Our President said, and I quote, “..they are really legal fronts of the Communist Party of the Philippines. Para hindi ninyo makalimutan KABAG NG TIYAN. KABATAAN, K, ANAKPAWIS, A, BAYAN MUNA, B, ALLIANCE OF CONCERNED TEACHERS, A at GABRIELA, G.”
From a President who has consistently been the most trusted public official since he sat in office, someone who has nothing to gain politically from saying this because he is no longer running for public office and who has vast information as the sitting President of the Republic of the Philippines, this truth is sparklingly clear: KABAG are urban operatives of the CPP NPA NDF and are its most powerful enablers and protectors.
We might never see another President like this again–someone whose every waking hour is about us and someone who has shown us the face of a true President: a hero of uncommon valor who will breach barriers to defend and protect us and someone whose love for country shines through.
And so in the last few months of his Presidency, he is once again, leading the way and like a father who is about to leave us, he is looking us in the eyes and saying, “I want you to remember this. This is so important that I have found a way to make you remember: KABAG. THESE ARE COMMUNIST TERRORISTS. DO NOT VOTE FOR THEM. When I am gone, I worry that great harm will come to you if you, once again, commit this dreadful mistake.”
And so the NTF ELCAC would like to thank our President for once again, leading the way. He gave us quantum leaps in progress, the reduction of criminality and our place in the global community.
He is now giving us the priceless gift of Peace. But this Peace will not be handed to us on a silver platter but something that we will fight for–together.
We will not have President Rodrigo Roa Duterte for long but while he is with us still, let us fight for our country with this exceptional President leading the way.
“..they are really legal fronts of the Communist Party of the Philippines. Para hindi ninyo makalimutan KABAG NG TIYAN. KABATAAN, K, ANAKPAWIS, A, BAYAN MUNA, B, ALLIANCE OF CONCERNED TEACHERS, A at GABRIELA, G.
”Magtulungan tayo, mga kababayan ko.
