CAMP EVANGELISTA, Cagayan de Oro City — The New People’s Army now branded as an organized crime group utilized the social media to coerce people by releasing video of their kidnapped PNP and Army personnel on April 12, 2016.
The video of the captive soldiers and PNP giving their statement was uploaded in YouTube, a free video sharing website that makes it easy for everyone including minors to watch online videos.
The 4th Infantry Division condemned the said act calling it as irresponsible for there are content that are not suitable for general audiences and it is intended to sow fear from the people.
“Definitely, the NPAs do not care for the effect to whoever will see the video. We condemn these extortionists for their grave violation of Human Rights and for continue creating havoc from among the peace-loving people in this side of the Country.”
“Likewise, they will never show videos that will not favor them. It is very obvious that there is coercion. Clearly at this point, they no longer fight for their failed ideology but are now espousing a crime in order to sow fear. Take note, what they did is plain kidnapping and it is a crime punishable by law.”
“They are highlighting their terrorist nature similar to Abu Sayyaf and ISIS where they video their captors behind their flags and intimidate them to say NPA prepared propaganda statement.”
It can be noted that NPA demands the pullout of government forces that are operating in the area so that they can pursue their large-scale extortion activities.
