Posted to the Philippine Revolutionary Web Central blog of the CPP (Nov 11): Cordillera
Forum for Peace and Development––Deodorizing the Zombie CPLA

With the phony dramatics of the surrender of some 60 plus arms, remnants of the
CPLA come into full circle for the nth time since the renegade group split from
the NPA on Aprril 7, 1986. It has come out to do what its leaders had originally
intended–to take flight from the people's struggle and serve the
counter-revolutionary operations of the reactionary AFP.
No doubt a few of the arms inventoried or turned
over–including 30 in Benguet, 17 in Abra and an undetermined number in
Ifugao–came from the original 119 firearms stolen from the people's army. But no
amount of whitewashing, including the surrender of mostly dilapidated arms and
the renaming of the notorious CPLA into a deceptively-coined Cordillera Forum
for Peace and Development (CFPD), can hide from the public the numerous crimes
and atrocities that the merger of the renegade group and the AFP has inflicted
on the people......
Far from leading into genuine peace and development, the creation of the CFPD
further plays an important part in sustaining the economic aggression and
intrusion into the ancestral lands. The group will further the economic plunder
of the indigenous people’s ancestral lands as it attempts to dull the militant
opposition of the concerned national minorities against destructive and large
scale projects of foreign capitalists and their local cohorts. The integrated
CPLA-CFPD in the AFP is part of the investment security force positioned and
deployed strategically in areas targeted for corporate mining as well as
hydropower and geothermal energy projects in tribal areas.....
