"Our (focus), of course is peace, CPP-NPA. Our focus (also) of course to support the National Task Force," Madrigal said in a phone interview with reporters on Wednesday.

Madrigal said they created a national task force that will end conflicts with the communists.

"The meetings were continuous on how we can have mechanism, to operationalize the task force. Because other than enemy-centered...people-centered strategy is included to make our communities conflict-resilient," he said.

The AFP chief said they continue their support to peace process by addressing "peace spoilers".
