its 47th founding anniversary on December 26.

statement, Juanito Magbanua II, spokesperson of the Apolinario Gatmaitan
Command, said the NPA “hails the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) for
celebrating the 47th Anniversary of its founding on December 26, 1968.”
“The CPP has
survived tremendous odds in several years and in recent years under the Oplan

“In Negros Island ,
it was the CPP’s leadership and strong guidance that the revolutionary forces
in the Island was able to stand firm and unswerving in the face of an enemy so
many times stronger when the AFP made Negros Island
They also alleged
that Governor Alfredo Marañon Jr. and the 3rd Infantry Division of the
Philippine Army are harboring illusions that they have already defeated the
revolutionary forces in the Island and that what remains are remnants of the
NPA, so that they declare Negros to be insurgency manageable and development
ready.
“But they
continue to call on the revolutionary forces to surrender and capitulate and
avail of the amnesty and livelihood programs that they are offering,” it added.
Marañon earlier
said the recent atrocities allegedly carried out by the NPA rebels were just to
make their presence felt especially that the election nears.
The governor
added that he has been appealing for peace and unity of everyone. “Let us not
kill each other because we are all Filipinos. If there are problems, it should
be discussed to come up with a solution,” he said.
