Sotto said this may put a strain on the government’s efforts to fight the country’s insurgency problem.
“I believe the NTF-ELCAC program is good. Defunding it would give back the gains of government to the rebels,” Sotto said in a statement.
“We should not be hasty in blaming a good program because of irresponsible statements from some officials. Replace the officials instead,” the Senate leader said.
In separate statements, Senators Joel Villanueva, Sherwin Gatchalian and Nancy Binay sought a review of the P19-billion fund for the task force under the 2021 national budget.
