Agusanons conduct 'Crusade for Peace'

From the Philippine Information Agency (Dec 3): Agusanons conduct 'Crusade for Peace'

CAMP JAIME FERRER SR, Maharlika, Bislig City -- Some 100 relatives and friends of massacred civilian of Barangay Marfil, Rosario, Agusan del Sur on November 30, 2014 initiated on Tuesday the “Crusade for Peace.” 

The said crusade was held at the Bus Terminal of San Francisco, Agusan del Sur on December 2, 2014 condemning the atrocities made by the Guerilla Front Committee (GFC) 14 of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New Peoples Army-National Democratic Front (CNN) under Leonida Belarmino Sanches (Aka Susay/Monique).

More or less 500 demonstrators participated by different groups to include the Anti Communist Movement Association (ACMA) led by Tatay Boom, a former front secretary of GFC 21 and a close relative of the massacred victims.  The group also denounced the CNN's activities such as arson, extortions, bombings, ambuscades and lately the killing of four innocent civilians to include the pregnant woman, wounding of four to include an eight year-old child and the barangay chairman of the place.

Ltc Noman Alcovindas, commanding officer of the 75th Infantry Battalion, Philippine Army said that the series of atrocities made by the CNN only shows that their existence is already irrelevant.

"Killing of innocent civilians, targeting ambulance and using of Improvised Explosive Device (IED) is a clear violation of CARHRIHL. It only shows that they are already desperate in convincing people to join their cause," he said.

He also believes that the CNN's existence is to sow terror victimizing innocent civilians for their personal interest.
