Communist rebels remain a potent threat: Military

The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and its armed wing, the New People’s Army (NPA) remains a potent threat to national security, the military said Saturday.

“Of course, the CPP-NPA is still the most potent challenge to security, to internal security and peace efforts that we have,” Major General Domingo Tutaan, the Armed Forces spokesman, said after a command conference of the military’s five unified commands and service branches in Camp Aguinaldo.
