There is no truth to the preposterous claim made by Eastern Mindanao Command Commander Lt. Gen. Rainier G. Cruz, III that “in their Bayanihan, they have prevailed against the NPA” by killing 4 New People’s Army (NPA) guerillas last week in Maco town, Compostela Valley. The enemy has pursued its atrocious military operations in separate incidents of strafing and bombing that left a civilian dead, the detention of three others, and the dislocation of hundreds more in Maragusan and Maco towns since November 18 up to December 6.
While hiding its savage deeds against the masses, the AFP is engaging in a futile attempt to reverse the real score in the battlefield. In contrast to the AFP’s indiscriminate aerial bombing and strafing that did not distinguish combatants from civilians, the NPA triggered command detonated explosives, harassed and ambushed legitimate targets from enemy units in four separate punitive actions over the last three weeks. The AFP suffered a total of 34 casualties, with 20 killed and 14 wounded after NPA units under the Comval Davao Gulf Subregional Command launched a series of tactical offensives meant to punish the fascist 71st Infantry Battalion, 66th IB, and Division Reconnaissance Company (DRC) all under the 10th ID-Eastern Mindanao Command of the AFP.
A recap of the series of events in the last few weeks showed how the AFP, ironically, prevailed not over the NPA but over unarmed peasants and poor residents:
Indeed, the blatant cover-up and a host of human rights abuses in the last few weeks manifested the AFP’s character as harbinger of injustice and implementer of the hideous policy of neutralization under the Oplan Bayanihan. The masses can only rely in the revolutionary justice, time and again , dispensed by the NPA through its punitive actions against legitimate targets in the AFP and the US-Aquino regime.

While hiding its savage deeds against the masses, the AFP is engaging in a futile attempt to reverse the real score in the battlefield.

A recap of the series of events in the last few weeks showed how the AFP, ironically, prevailed not over the NPA but over unarmed peasants and poor residents:
- On November 18, at 6:30 am, the 66th IB-AFP rained bombs over the villages of Brgy. Mahayahay, Maragusan town, Comval; for one whole day, the enemy strafed and poured bullets in reconnaissance by fire against peasant farms, forcing residents to evacuate.
- On November 21 at 7am, the 66th IB bombed villages of Sitio Camuso, Brgy. Parasanun. At about 9am, the NPA’s 6th Pulang Bagani Company and the Rhyme Petalcorin Command Front 27 Operations Command encountered with troops belonging to the 71st IB in North Davao, Brgy. New Leyte, Maco; three soldiers were killed and three were wounded. Around 10:30 am, the military bombed communities of North Davao and Sitio Bunlang, using a 105 howitzer. At 4pm, two mg520 helicopters rained bombs in North Davao and in Masara lines, Maco town. When the enemy was resting at their camp in Brgy. Parasanun at 11pm, the NPA triggered a command detonated explosive that killed 5 and wounded 6.
- On November 23, at 8am, the NPA harassed the camp of 71st IB alpha company, wounding three of its troops. At around 10am, two mg 520 helicopters bombed the farms of Brgy. Elizalde, Brgy. Teresa and Brgy New Barili in Maco.
- On November 25, at 9pm, the NPA triggered a command detonated explosive at Sitio Camuso, Brgy. Parasanun killing four elements of the 66th IB.
- On November 28, the NPA harassed the 71st IB troops in Sitio Biokadan, Brgy. Teresa, killing one soldier. At 9am, the military forced residents of Biokadan and Sitio Mahayahay, Brgy Teresa to evacuate.
- On December 4, at 8am, the NPA’s 6th Pulang Bagani Company and the Rhyme Petalcorin Command Front 27 Operations Command ambushed the 71st IB in Sitio Lim-aw, Brgy. Teresa that killed 7 and wounded 5 soldiers. At 9:30 am, the enemy bombed the villages of Sitio Lim-aw and Sitio Gakub, using a 105 howitzer and dislocating the peasant communities in the process.
- On December 6, at 10 am, the 1001st DRC and the 71st IB raided villages of Sitio Binagyuhan, Brgy. Malamudao, Maco town. An hour later, mg 520 helicopters bombed the villages of Sitio Binagyuhan and Sitio Barabay in Brgy. Malamudao, and Sitio San Vicente of Brgy. New Barili. The military shot to death Pedro Tinga, a civilian and arrested three others: Dodong Camporemundo, Orong Gabriel and Abla Bakud. The victims were all residents of Purok 2, Brgy. Malamudao.
Indeed, the blatant cover-up and a host of human rights abuses in the last few weeks manifested the AFP’s character as harbinger of injustice and implementer of the hideous policy of neutralization under the Oplan Bayanihan. The masses can only rely in the revolutionary justice, time and again , dispensed by the NPA through its punitive actions against legitimate targets in the AFP and the US-Aquino regime.

Best defense is a good offense. Ibarra goes on the propaganda offensive characterizes EASTMINCOM claims of NPA casualties as "preposterous." Then he asserts that the Philippine military engaged in "indiscriminate aerial bombing" (a recurring commie propaganda theme) and that those killed or injured were "unarmed peasants and poor residents" (yet another regular theme in commie propaganda).
