NDF denial unmasked: Arevalo

From the Visayan Daily Star (Apr 26, 2019): NDF denial unmasked: Arevalo

After many years of deception and denial, the National Democratic Front admitted that one of its real purposes is to fill in the ranks of the New People’s Army and its political wing, the Communist Party of the Philippines, Brig. Gen. Benedict Arevalo, 303rd Infantry Brigade commander, said yesterday.

This admission came from Concha Bocala, spokesperson of NDF-Panay and former secretary of the Panay Regional Party Committee, in a press statement published on its social media site on April 24, in line with the 46th founding anniversary of NDF.

Araneta disclosed in a statement that "Members of the Kabataang Makabayan, Makibaka, PKM, Revolutionary Council of Trade Unions, and allied organizations of the NDF have continually filled in the ranks of the NPA and CPP, immersing themselves with the masses in the countryside and cities while others perform underground work in urban areas."

Other NDF allied organizations include Bayan Muna, Anakpawis, KMU, ACT, ANAKBAYAN, MAKABAYAN, MIGRANTE, LFS, Gabriela, Kabataan, Karapatan, Katribu, Kalikasan, COURAGE, KADAMAY, IBON, PISTON, National Union of People’s Lawyer, National Federation of Sugarcane Workers, PAMALAKAYA, among many other deceptive front organizations, according to Arevalo

"The statement of Concha Araneta is very revealing and clearly proves that the NDF is in cahoots with the NPA and the CPP, contrary to their claims that the NDF is only involved in the legal struggle, Arevalo added.

The United States, the European Union, and the Philippine government have declared the CPP-NPA as a terrorist organization

Based on the statement of Araneta, Arevalo said that the primary source of terrorists and extortionists in the country is the NDF, which is hiding under the cloak of legalities, but in essence are doing illegal acts.

They had been fooling the people that they are for democracy and promoting peoples welfare, but in reality the CPP, NPA and NDF are in conspiracy to overthrow the government through armed means using their revolutionary dual tactics, he also said.

What the NDF does is bordering on Conspiracy to Commit Terrorism, or an Accomplice in violation of the Human Security Act of 2007". Arevalo said, He also noted that the CPP-NPA-NDF applied dual revolutionary tactics using the law against the government to justify their activities that are actually violating the rule of law, and getting inside the government to destroy it from within.

"This is the reason why Karapatan and NUPL, both NDF organizations, after so many killings perpetrated by the NPAs against civilians, off duty soldiers, policemen and CAFGUs in Negros Island never condemned even a single killing done and admitted by the NPAs, the Army general said

In the past several months, the NPA claimed the brutal killings Moises Padilla Councilor JolomarHilario, JunibertSabeco and Cornelio Morales in Brgys. Camansi and Carol-an, all in Kabankalan City, andJojo De Baguio in Brgy. Buenavista, Himamayalan, and numerous others.

Arevalo said he has been challenging Karapatan ever since to condemn even a single killing by the NPAs, but they never did.

This is because they are in cahoots with the NPA, he also said.
