The Claim: Catholic academe group’s support for VP Leni has communist roots
Rating: FALSE
This post (https://www.facebook.com/antonio.parladejr/posts/4930898423655013), shared with us through our tipline, claims that the support of the Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines (CEAP) and many other members of the Catholic clergy for VP Leni Robredo’s presidential bid is in line with the CPP-NPA-NDF’s ties to the clergy.
This is False.
The Facts: The CPP-NPA-NDF does indeed have a Catholic arm called the Christians for National Liberation (CNL), but even in the archives of the CPP and the CNL (https://cpp.ph/authors/christians-for-national-liberation/) there is not a single statement of support for Robredo, nor even any political candidate.
Neither has the CPP-NPA-NDF declared support for any candidate.
The CEAP meanwhile has categorically and repeatedly denied any ties to the CPP-NPA-NDF (https://www.philstar.com/…/esperon-hits-reds-ceap…), but even then they have been called members of the communist terrorist element by the NTF-ELCAC and Parlade in the past.
The CNL does not have any influence over the Catholic clergy at large, and is only a small portion of the CPP-NPA-NDF, which official government figures indicate is a shrinking organization, or 150,000 at most if the CPP is to be believed (https://cpp.ph/statements/the-people-will-intensify-the-revolution-as-crisis-of-the-ruling-system-will-worsen/).
Robredo herself has denied previous accusations of aiming to establish a coalition government levied against her by fellow presidentiable Ping Lacson (https://twitter.com/iampinglacson/status/1500325771755225092), and her only platform with regards to the CPP-NPA-NDF is the resumption of peace talks if possible (https://www.rappler.com/…/robredo-eyes-localized-peace…/).
