“Ibig sabihin po, ang PNP na mismo ang mag process [ng delisting] para matanggal na sila sa listahan ng mga private armed groups at local na terorista at makapamuhay na ng matiwasay [sa] kanilang community,” she said.

(This means that the PNP will process their delisting to remove them from the lists of private armed groups and terror groups and live peacefully in their community.) – Christine Annie Asistio, INQUIRER.net intern
