The New People’s Army of the South-Central Bukidnon Sub-regional Command condemns the AFP and PNP of Bukidnon for filing trumped-up charges against five civilians, detaining two of them. This clearly is a desperate step on the part of the reactionary armed forces to cover their failure and shame after successful NPA offensives in the province.
July 22, 2014, the Police Public Safety Company arrested three youngsters in Sitio Maynaga, Brgy. Iba, Cabanglasan, following the NPA’s attack on Sumifru’s pineapple plantation in the area.
P/Insp. Joan Galvez, Information Officer of the Bukidnon Provincial Office admitted on air that they filed arson charges against Melvin Anggumao, 20 y/o, and Joefrrey Ganancia, 18 y/o, both residents of Maynaga, Brgy. Iba. Cellphones and a motorcycle were confiscated from them. The other one was released on account of being a minor.
According to reports, relatives, neighbors and barangay officials immediately went to the police station to vouch for the innocence of the arrested persons. They also sought help from municipal officials to revoke the false charges. The two youngsters, however, remain under police custody.
Meanwhile, Joven Yanggo, 31, Efren Yanggo, 29, and Ryan Daluniag were charged of murder in relation to the death of Mayor Mario Okinlay last July 2. Instead of conducting a thorough investigation, the Regional Task Group-Okinlay headed by CIDG regional director P/Sr. Superintendent Pedro Austria, merely relied on guesswork and randomly pointed their fingers at the first likely scapegoats. After only two days of investigation, they effortlessly filed charges against the three.
The AFP and PNP know that they have no genuine witnesses to prove their accusations. But they will not hesitate to make scapegoats out of civilians to fool the public into believing that they have not been idle in cases like this. In doing so, they are soiling their own image and alienating themselves all the more from the people.
