Military to echo Palace response to communists’ ‘no attack’ order

However Malacañang responds to the order of the communist leadership to its armed wing, the New People’s Army (NPA), to refrain from attacking government troops in Mindanao, so will the military abide by it, a spokesman for the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) said on Saturday.

"We'll go by that," Padilla told The Manila Times when sought for comment on the AFP's reaction to the recent order by the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) to the NPA.
