The National Democratic Front- Bicol (NDF-Bicol) would like to clarify that the arrest of Mr. Reynaldo Hugo by joint operation of Criminal Detection Investigation Group Region 4 (CIDG) and military forces of Armed Forces Philippines accordingly on January 27 2015 was illegal. Reynaldo Hugo’s was an NDFP Peace Consultant and has been issued NDFP Document of Identification Number ND978239 under the assumed name Orgel Dimaaano. He has been issued a corresponding Letter of Acknowledgment signed by GRP Negotiating Panel Chairperson Silvestre H. Bello III. The Aquino government must respect and comply its obligation in accordance with the Joint Agreement on Safety and Immunity Guarantees (JASIG) signed by both negotiating panels and approved by their respective Principals in 1995.

The time Mr. Hugo was arrested by Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) and military forces of AFP at Cabuyao, Laguna last Tuesday 27January 2015 undergoing medication treament due to nerve and kidney problem suffering since 2010. The NDF-Bicol demands the release of Reynaldo Hugo together 15 other illegally detained NDFP Consultants. The Aquino government must respect and comply with its obligations arising from the JASIG, the Comprehensive Agreement on Respect for Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law (CARHRIHL), and other binding bilateral peace agreements.

Intrigues sowed by Armed Forces Southern Luzon Command Spokesperson Major Angelo Guzman and Command Chief Major General Ricardo Visaya over the said that “internal disputes on the whereabouts of extortion money led some NPAs to pinpoint Hugo to authorities” was a pure lies. Rather it was an intense surviellance operation for promotion sake and syndicate character of AFP to disclose information the seized of P1.4 million CPP-NPA organizational funds on Hugo’s possession.

The charges of multiple murder and frustrated murder against Reynaldo Hugo’s citing ten (10) incidents of ambush, raid and punishment against mining companies were all legitimate tactical offensives and punishment action launched by New People’s Army Units. Waging war against exploitative and oppresive system is a righteous act, the past NPA tactical offensives violated any in the rules of war and therefore hugo sholud not be liable for criminal offenses.

However, we assure Hugo’s arrest would not significantly affect the New People’s Army operations in the region. All commanders and cadres at the regional, provincial and front level have all the capacity, scientific knowledge and determination to wage protracted people’s war up to the gateway of strategic offensives. The basis to wage and onward the revolution is always an urgent call to change the exploitative and oppressive system perpetrated by — the U.S. government, big comprador bourgeoisie, the big landlords and corrupt bureaucrats— which Aquino is the ultimate puppet of U.S. imperialism and the great defender of bureaucrat capitalists.

Hail the CPP and NPA on its 46th Anniversary!
Long live the Filipino People and the Philippine Revolution!
