BAYAN Press Release posted to the leftist, often pro-CPP Davao Today (Nov 3): Bayan: Lt. Col. Paniza’s statement, a prelude to whitewash
Military spokesman Lt. Col. Lyndon Paniza’s latest statement on the Tampakan Massacre case is a prelude to whitewash, said multi-sectoral group Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan)-Socsksargen today. According to Paniza, the military inquiry found “the soldiers were negligent when they engaged in shootout” and “there is a violation of the rules of engagement.” “It is a prelude to whitewash. In the first place, there was no firefight that took place between the military and any armed groups during the incident. Paniza, the 10th Infantry Division and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) are flagrantly concealing and covering up the cold blood massacre and the barbaric act of the elements of the 27th IB against two-month pregnant woman and her children by hyping that there were just “negligence” and simply ‘violation of the rules of engagement’ of the involved soldiers” said Ryan Lariba, secretary general of Bayan- Socsksargen.... Bayan-Socsksargen called on the people from the local, national to international community to vigorously oppose the ploy of the AFP to cover up the most brutal act of terrorism carried out by 27thIB against innocent civilians, women and children.

Interesting. Lariba and BAYAN claim, even before any investigation has taken place, that the incident was not a firefight but "a cold blood massacre and barbaric act" and call on people to oppose the the cover-up of "the most brutal act of terrorism carried out by the 27th IB." And they have the gall to accuse the AFP of a cover-up. Lariba and BAYAN, have already concluded that the AFP is guilty, regardless of what any investigation or evidence may prove. Typical CPP front group propaganda.
