Published February 9, 2021 11:33am Armed Forces Southern Luzon Command chief Lieutenant General Antonio Parlade Jr. on Tuesday admitted that there are gaps in the intelligence operations of the anti-insurgency task force due to lack of enabling laws. Parlade, spokesperson of National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC), said the security sector cannot rely on the Human Security Act as he justified the need of the Anti –Terrorism Act of 2020, which is now being challenged before the Supreme Court. “First of all, we don’t have that enabling law to really help the security sector do their job. We cannot rely on that Human Security Act,” he said in an interview on ANC.
