The Efren Martires Command of the New People’s Army-Eastern Visayas today denied NPA involvement in a bomb threat at the Visayas State University campus in Baybay City, Leyte as claimed by the Philippine National Police in a radio news report today, March 28. “The NPA does not target civilians and will never be involved in any real or threatened bombing of civilians,” said Efren Martires Command spokesperson Ka Karlos Manuel. “It is possible the PNP or the Armed Forces of the Philippines are behind this bomb threat to sow fear among the people and to smear the NPA on its 50th anniversary this March 29.”
Ka Karlos Manuel said bombing or harming civilians in any way are against the principles of the NPA. “The NPA has revolutionary principles and strict discipline outlined in its Three Main Rules of Discipline and Eight Points of Attention. Furthermore, the NPA adheres to the Comprehensive Agreement on Respect for Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law signed by the GRP and NDFP, as well as other basic standards of human rights and international humanitarian law.”
The Efren Martires Command also clarified, “Those considered legitimate targets by the NPA are: the Armed Forces of the Philippines, Philippine National Police, paramilitary and their intelligence services.
“We call on the public to give information on those who are really behind the bomb threat in Baybay City. Whoever they are, for terrorizing the people they are answerable to the People’s Democratic Government and its People’s Court.”
