The
status quo remains.
Lieutenant
General Antonio Parlade Jr.
The
idea is to have a bigger communications team for the NTF-ELCAC and its primary
aim is to foster a "focused discourse and engagement with the public"
based on themes, said National Security Advisor Hermogenes Esperon Jr. The
pool retains Communications Undersecretary Lorraine Badoy and now includes
Asec. Celine Pialago of the MMDA.

The pool of NTF-ELCAC (National Task
Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict) spokespersons and
their assigned themes are as follows:
·
Lt. Gen. Antonio Parlade Jr.
(Security Sector Operations)
·
Usec. Lorraine Badoy (Social Media
Affairs, Sectoral Concerns)
·
Usec. Jonathan Malaya (Local
Government Affairs, Barangay Development Program, International Engagement)
·
Usec. Severo Catura (International
Affairs, Peace Process, Human Rights Concerns)
·
Usec. Jose Joel Sy Egco (Mass Media
Engagements, Fact-Checker)
·
Asec. Celine Pialago (NTF-ELCAC
Public Affairs and Information, Youth Concerns)
·
Marlon Bosantog (Legal Affairs,
Indigenous Peoples Concerns)
·
Gaye Florendo (Assistant Spokesperson
on NTF-ELCAC Public Affairs and on Indigenous Peoples Concerns)
“The CPP-NPA is a multifaceted, multilayered
[organization]. Just like the NPA, we have to cover everything,” Esperon said
when asked to explain the need for additional spokespersons.
Liberal Party and current Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon, who files a recommendation, question’s Parlade’s appointment as NTF-ELCAC spokesperson violates Article XVI, Section 5 of the 1987 Constitution which states that no active member of the armed forces may be appointed or designated in any capacity to a civilian position in the government.
Esperon said Parlade was not covered
by the prohibition since the NTF-ELCAC spokesperson post is neither a plantilla
position nor a career executive service one, which he said is the definition of
a civilian post under Executive Order 371, series of 1989.
"General Parlade is not
receiving any pay and allowances for this extra job and he is not occupying a
plantilla position," he added.
Apart from being a spokesperson of
the NTF-ELCAC, Parlade also serves as commander of the Philippine Army's
Southern Luzon Command.
