The National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) said that Anicoche admitted involvement with groups allegedly linked to the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), according to a report cited by government officials.

NTF-ELCAC stated that the admission was made during proceedings related to the case, framing it as part of the government’s broader campaign against communist insurgency and alleged front organizations. Officials emphasized that the claim forms part of their evidence base and reiterated calls for vigilance against groups they say provide logistical, ideological, or organizational support to armed movements.

Allegations—especially those tied to national security—carry weight. The government’s position is clear, but due process remains essential. Assertions by state agencies must be tested in proper legal forums, where evidence is examined and rights are protected.

Observers note that cases involving alleged links to insurgent groups often draw intense public debate, underscoring the need for transparency, clear standards of proof, and judicial independence. As the matter proceeds, updates are expected through official channels.
