National Security Adviser Clarita Carlos has said the remaining five guerrilla fronts in the country are expected to be decimated by the first quarter of 2023, according to the National Security Council (NSC).

In a statement Thursday, the NSC said Carlos made the pronouncement during the presentation of the year-end accomplishment reports by the National Task Force to End Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) in Malacañang.

“She said despite various logistical challenges, only five guerrilla fronts remain and are expected to be decimated by the first quarter of 2023,” it said.

Carlos pointed out the importance of continuing the momentum of the NTF-ELCAC to end the insurgency.

According to NSC, Carlos ordered the NTF-ELCAC to complement its Road Map with an implementation plan to dismantle all guerilla fronts within 2023.

The three-day conference was designed to determine the status of the projects and initiatives of the task force at the regional, provincial, municipal, and barangay levels.—Joviland Rita/AOL, GMA Integrated News
