DWDD: 4ID Does Not Engage in Cheap Propaganda

Posted to Katropa DWDD-CRS Virtual RTV (Feb 23, 2019): 4ID Does Not Engage in Cheap Propaganda
CAMP EVANGELISTA, Cagayan de Oro City – The 4th Infantry “Diamond” Division, Philippine Army is a professional Armed Force and does not engage in cheap propaganda that can cause confusion and division in our society. In fact, we are serious in our efforts to harness the support of all stakeholders in line with the government’s call for a Whole of the Nation Approach to end the local commun...ist threat to peace-loving communities.

On February 22, 2019, at around 3:35 o’clock in the afternoon, media friends from Cagayan de Oro City informed us on the alleged list of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) members in CDOC which was exposed during the meeting with Karapatan members headed by Secretary-General Cristina Palabay. The cheap leaflets which contain names of 19 individuals and 4 organizations can be crafted by anybody who wants to sow intrigues and create a wedge among the peace-loving individuals in Cagayan de Oro City and the members of the Armed Forces.

However, these cowardly practices have been the old dirty tactics of local communist groups to create animosity in our peaceful society and later on blame the government, particularly the Armed Forces. It can be recalled that some noteworthy incidents like the
Plaza Miranda Bombing, OPLAN Ahos, the killing of tribal leaders and other atrocities committed by the CPP-NPA were attributed to the government but were later on revealed by that, it is the propaganda and the undertakings of CPP-NPA as disclosed by surrenders.

On his statement, Brigadier General Gacal, Commander of 4th ID said, “We are making friends, not enemies. The document shown by the Karapatan members does not belong to us and we do not engage on cheap propaganda. We call upon the concern individuals to refrain from spreading unverified documents/reports. Most importantly, we together
with the PNP, wholeheartedly offer security and other assistance to the innocent victims of this cheap propaganda.” | PRESS RELEASE
