NDF-Rizal
The NDFP-Rizal vehemently condemns the illegal arrest of Mrs. Lanie Latuga, a teacher of Dumagat School Children and five other civilians, most of them women, by combined elements of 16th IB-PA and 59th IB-PA. They were illegally arrested after the encounter between members of NAAC-NPA-Rizal and members of combined government soldiers belonging to the “Butcher” 16th IB-PA and 59th IB-PA that resulted to the killing of the 2 government soldiers and wounding of 4 others last November 7, 2012 in Sitio Uron, Puray, Rodriguez, Rizal. Their only crime is that they were near the site where the encounter happened and were eventually accused by the government soldiers that they are NPA Amazons or NPA supporters. Up to now, Mrs. Latuga ang her companions are being held incommunicado in an undisclosed military safe house after they were fetched by a Huey helicopter. They are being held against their will, interrogated without the benefit of counsel of their choice and being forced to admit that they are NPA members....

The NDF protests too loudly. Why would the NDF go out of its way to advocate for Lani Latuga and the other civilians unless they are members of the CPP/NDF/NPA? Once again the NDF uses its standard propaganda tack, asserting that the arrested individuals are not NPA but just innocent civilians, unjustly arrested by the Philippine military.
