In a Palace briefing, Brawner also said the number of guerilla fronts is already down to four from seven last July.

“And we are expecting that by the end of the year, we will have finished all the guerilla fronts; we will have reduced them to zero,” he added.

Two of the guerrilla fronts are in Northern Luzon, one in Southern Luzon, and another one in the Visayas area.

Meanwhile, President Ferdinand “Bongbong” R. Marcos Jr. said in his state of the nation address last July that there are no more active guerilla fronts in the country, and only seven “weakened” ones are remaining.
