RIZAL, OCCIDENTAL MINDORO—Red fighters of Lucio De Guzman Command/New People’s Army-Mindoro (LDGC/NPA-Mindoro) successfully disarmed guards of land-grabber in Occidental Mindoro, midnight, Feb. 13.
The NPA’s military action is a response to a violent demolition of a village of poor fisherfolk in Bgy. Salvacion, Rizal, Occidental Mindoro, said Comrade Madaay Gasic, spokesperson of LDGC/NPA-Mindoro.
The Red fighters siezed in the said action three (3) shotgun, ammunitions and other devices. Meanwhile, there was no report of any casualty.
According to a letter of the LDGC/NPA-Mindoro addressed to land-grabber Annaliza Pojas-Lopez and to other accused of the said crime against the people, “Malinaw na ikaw, Gng. Annaliza Pojas-Lopez at ang inyong mga kasapakat at inupahang goons at mga security guards mula sa Sidekick Security Agency, ay lumabag sa karapatang tao ng mga residenteng naging biktima ng inyong marahas na demolisyon at paghahamlet sa kanilang pamayanan. (It is clear that you, Annaliza Pojas-Lopez and your accomplices, hired goons and security guards from Sidekick Security Agency, committed violations of human rights of the people who fell victim of your violent demolition and hamletting of their village.)
Pojas-Lopez, abetted and aided by Pedro Gamil, a former jail guard of the Occidental Mindoro Provincial Jail, ordered the demolition of about 16 houses of poor fisherfolk in the said area last year. Pojas-Lopez hired more or less 40 prisoners to carry out the demolition in October 2016, and burn down the residents’ makeshift tents a month after. Ten of the fisherfolk were arrested on December 7 due to trespassing charge filed by Pojas-Lopez against them.
The military action is also LDGC’s response to the order of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Philippines to “achieve just peace through the peace talks and people’s war,” Ka Madaay added.
“Rodrigo Duterte became disinterested towards the peace talks amid advances on some of the content of the agreement on socio-economic reforms. However, the termination of the talks cannot curb the People’s Government because we advocate People’s War as our primary weapon to achieve genuine justice and peace for the people,” Ka Madaay
ended.
