Here’s the challenge of a netizen to Sen. Loren Legarda
LOREN LEGARDA – The senator was dared by a netizen to immerse herself in an area infested by the New People’s Army.
The senator is currently making rounds online after she admitted that she once worked with the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP).
“I have worked with the NDF and I’m not ashamed of it. I agreed with them on many subject matters that are close to our hearts,” she said.
According to her, there’s no law proving that the leftists are “enemies of the state.”
Her controversial statement earned the reaction of renowned personalities including religious leader Pastor Apollo Quiboloy and Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa.
Among those who reacted as well is a blogger named Tio Moreno.
In a post, Moreno dared the senator to immerse herself in an area infested by NPAs.
“If you are a SENATOR and are still confused about the CPP-NPA-NDF, it is time to take a refresher course or immerse yourself in an NPA-infested area to see for yourself how these terrorists operate,” he wrote.
“While I appreciate your contributions to the country, I can’t tolerate your ignorance any longer,” he added.
Meanwhile, the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (CPP-NPA) rebellion is the world’s longest ongoing communist insurgency and is the largest, most prominent communist conflict in the Philippines.
The history of the rebellion can be traced back to March 29, 1969, when Jose Maria Sison’s newly formed CPP entered an alliance with a small armed group led by Bernabe Buscayno.
Buscayno’s group was renamed the New People’s Army (NPA) and became the armed wing of the CPP.
National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP), on the other hand, serves as the political wing of the CPP.
