CPP: P467M bounty against CPP leaders, source of military corruption and abuses--CPP

From the CPP Website (Nov 14): P467M bounty against CPP leaders, source of military corruption and abuses--CPP

The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) today strongly protested the issuance of a P466.8 million bounty for the capture of 235 people whom the Aquino regime claims to be leaders of the CPP, saying this will only lead to more corruption in the military, illegal arrests, torture and other grave human rights abuses. The reward system was contained in Joint Order 14-2012 issued yesterday by the Department of National Defense and the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG). Among the names listed in the DND-DILG order are leaders of the CPP and the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) who are known to be actively involved in peace negotiations with the Aquino regime. The CPP said the reward system “will only be used by military and police officials to pocket millions of pesos and commit grave violations of human rights.” It cited the recent case of 48-year old civilian security guard Rolly Panesa who was arrested together with his wife, son and daughter-in-law last October 5 in Quezon City. Panesa works at the ACP Compound in Eastwood and resides in Project 4, Quezon City.... “More and more, the Aquino regime is intensifying its Oplan Bayanihan war of suppression, saturating rural communities with its armed forces, resulting in grave and widespread cases of human rights abuses ranging from massacres to extrajudicial killings, illegal abductions and torture, indiscriminate firing and other terror tactics.”
