BUENAVISTA, Agusan del Norte -- Twenty six tribal leaders of Higaonon, Manobo and Banwaon tribes of the province of Agusan del Norte have declared the Communist Party of the Philippines, New People’s Army, National Democratic Front (CPP-NPA-NDF), their allied organizations, other terrorist groups and their supporters as persona non-grata during an Indigenous Peoples (IP) Leaders Forum on May 26, 2019.
The declaration was made thru a resolution initiated and unanimously approved by the tribal leaders during the IP Leaders Forum in Barangay Alubihid, here.
The recent killings of tribal leaders in other provinces perpetrated by the CPP-NPA ignited the Higaonon, Manobo and Banwaon Leaders to declare the CPP-NPA as persona non-grata in the two provinces of Agusan and Magsaysay of Misamis Oriental.
The CPP-NPA murdered Datu Buklas a Mamanwa, last May 20, 2019; killed CAA Ronald B. Contemplo last May 21, 2019; shot Datu Silaw Ryan Hunyog Indigenous Peoples Mandatory Representative (IPMR) of Carascal, Surigao del Sur last May 22, 2019.
During the forum, Datu Manlighud Manandog Victor D. Manpatilan, Supreme Datu of the four provinces, Agusan del Norte, Agusan del Sur, Misamis Oriental and Bukidnon and Datu Bawang Eddie Ampiyawan, IPMR of Agusan del Norte put forward the need to declare the CNT as persona non-grata in all the Ancestral Domains of Higaonon, Manobo, and Banwaon.
The declaration makes the CPP-NPA and their allied organizations and supporters not welcome in their communities.
The different CPP-NPA allied organizations which were specifically included as perona non-grata are: Union sa Mag-uuma sa Agusan del Norte (UMAN), Nagkahiusang Mag-uuma sa Agusan del Sur (NAMASUR), Katribu, Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT), Karapatan, Anak Pawis, Anak Bayan, Bayan Muna, Gabriela, League of Filipino Students (LFS), Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP), Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU), Piston, Kabataan, and other terrorist groups and their supporters.
Meanwhile, Lieutenant Colonel Francisco L. Molina Jr., Commanding Officer, 23rd Infantry Battalion, stressed that “the resolution issued by the tribal leaders declaring the CPP-NPA and their cohorts as persona non-grata in the communities of Higaonon, Manobo and Banwaon is a manifestation that they don't want this terrorist group to thrive in their ancestral domains."
"I also encourage other tribal leaders to follow suit and disown the CNTs until they are flushed out away from tribal communities," Molina added. (1Lt Roel T Maglalang, CMO Officer, 23IB PA)
