CPP/Ang Bayan: Repression and killings of Lumads

Propaganda article from the English edition of Ang Bayan posted to the Communist Party of the Philippines Website (Sep 7): Repression and killings of Lumads

THE REGIME’S killings and repression of Mindanao Lumads continue unabated. While the Sandugo conference was being held in Quezon City, a 19-year old student of the Salugpongan Ta Tanu Igkanogon Community Learning Center was being shot by a military agent in Sitio Dulyan, Barangay Palma Gil, Talaingod, Davao del Norte on September 5. Obillo Bay-ao died in the hospital after a CAFGU element named Ben Salangani shot him.

Prior to this, the Marine Battalion Landing Team-2 filed trumped up charges against volunteer teachers of the Center for Lumad Advocacy, Networking and Services, Inc (CLANS) Community School and members of its Parent-Teacher Community Association (PTCA). A warrant of arrest was issued against six volunteer teachers and seven PTCA members for murder and attempted murder, CLANS said.

Even the Manilakbayan delegates encamped in Quezon City are not spared. They are continually under surveillance from police and other intelligence operatives. Lumad children from the “bakwit schools” are being investigated to force them to return to their militarized communities.
