CPP/NDF: As the US-Aquino regime’s head-hunting gets more desperate, the revolutionary movement, undaunted, gets stronger

Posted to the CPP Website (Nov 17): As the US-Aquino regime’s head-hunting gets more desperate, the revolutionary movement, undaunted, gets stronger

Jorge Madlos (Ka Oris)
Spokesperson
NDF-Mindanao

In behalf of the NDFP-Mindanao, I wish to express my strongest condemnation with regard to the recent updated DND-DILG Joint Order No. 14-2012, which raises the amount of monetary reward for the capture of 235 alleged wanted communists to PHP466.88 million. This is the second time this year that Malacañang announced bounty money for information that would lead to the capture of revolutionaries; the first was in August.

This is a sign of desperation on the part of the Aquino government, resorting to large bounty money, digging from the much-needed yet deflated taxpayers’ fund to stop the advance of the people’s legitimate struggle to achieve genuine national liberation and democracy. It is now totally exposing its inherent reactionary and fascist nature. In its first two years in office, it has tried to make double talk by harping of peace on one hand and launching the brutal Oplan Bayanihan on the other. It has now clearly abandoned any pretense of peace overtures to the NDFP, launching all out military campaigns nationwide with much brutality, tagging revolutionary personalities as common criminals, and directing its fascist troops to attack us violently, including our innocent family members....

.... Once again, the price tag placed on the head of many peace consultants and the attacks against their innocent family members are a great challenge for the GPH negotiating panel. If they wish to make us believe the Aquino government’s seriousness in the path of peace, they must prevail over this unprofessional way of dealing with their counterparts in the negotiations. Even then, we wish to assure the GPH panel that this dirty tactic of the US-Aquino regime cannot drag our movement down because of this high-handedness it has possibly learned from their imperialist masters.
