Soriano issued the statement after a member of the Citizen Armed Forces Geographical Unit was killed in Quezon province last June 5, 2021 by members of the NPA. “A ‘White Area’ is a town, city, province or region where there’s no record or report of any armed conflict or confrontations between the government forces and the CPP NPA NDF but it does not mean their absence in the area. They may be engaged in recruitment, propaganda, agitation, and similar activities except that of armed encounters with the PNP or AFP,” Soriano said.
Soriano said they are overwhelmed with the support they are receiving from the community in their programs against criminality and terrorism. He was referring to the Kabataan Kontra Droga at Terorismo , a program allowing the youth to take part in their campaign and take them away from the possible involvement in any illegal activities.
