Valor and Vision: NTF-ELCAC's Full Support Behind Secretary Eduardo Año

June 11, 2025

The National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) expresses its unequivocal support for Secretary Eduardo M. Año, whose leadership as National Security Adviser continues to be a pillar of strength in the government’s pursuit of lasting peace, genuine development, and national unity.

Secretary Año is not merely a strategist—he is a servant-leader whose boots have marched through battle-scarred barangays, whose hands have helped rebuild broken communities, and whose heart remains anchored to the Filipino people, especially those in the margins of society.

He has walked with farmers, listened to indigenous elders, and stood by families long forgotten in conflict areas—transforming hopelessness into empowerment through whole-of-government efforts.

Where there was fear, there is now progress. Where there was silence, there is now purpose. Hope is no longer a distant dream but a daily reality for communities once trapped in ideological deception and violence.

Under Secretary Año’s stewardship, the NTF-ELCAC has strengthened its resolve to uphold the Constitution, protect our citizens, and dismantle the remaining threats posed by communist terrorist groups.

We stand in full solidarity with Secretary Año. His courage, competence, and unwavering commitment are a beacon for a new generation of Filipinos who deserve to grow up in a country free from fear and united in purpose.

To Secretary Año—maraming salamat po for your steadfast service. The NTF-ELCAC, and the millions of Filipinos we collectively serve, stand firmly behind you.
