Terror council designates NDFP as terror group
By JONAS ALPASAN
MANILA — The Anti Terrorism Council has designated the National Democratic Front of the Philippines as a terrorist organization, a resolution dated June 23 read.
The resolution states that the NDFP is an “integral and inseparable part” of the Communist Party of the Philippines and the New People’s Army, which the council earlier designated as a terror group.
Designating individuals and organizations as a terrorist group is among the “unbrindled powers” vested to the ATC, per petitioners asking the Supreme Court to declare the Anti Terrorism Act of 2020 as unconstitutional.
