In a now-deleted Facebook post, the National Task Force to End the Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) falsely accused ABS-CBN of franchise violations and blamed the television network for the expiration of its broadcast permit .
The post was shared by PCOO’s official Facebook page and the Philippine-National Capital Region Information Agency.

“That said, the published content is in no way an official statement or opinion of the PCOO,” Andanar said.
PCOO has already removed the shared post.
For its part, the Office of the Presidential Spokesperson (PAHO) said that the position of the working group did not come from his office or from the Strategic Communications of the NTF, headed by PAHO.
