From the Philippine Information Agency (Aug 14, 2019): Maasin town declares NPA persona non grata
ILOILO CITY, Aug. 14 (PIA) -- The local government unit of Maasin is the first municipality in Iloilo province to declare the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People's Army (CPP-NPA) as persona non grata.
Through Municipal Peace and Order Council Resolution No. 01, the municipality condemned the terroristic acts relentlessly committed by the CPP-NPA.
According to the resolution, the CPP-NPA has conducted a series of atrocities targeting the military, police, civilians, and even government and private properties through liquidations, harassment, extortions, and recruitment within the municipality.
“The socio-economic advancement of the municipality had been affected due to the series of atrocities conducted by the CPP-NPA Communist Terrorists (CNT) that propagate fear to the general public and even to potential investors which made terrible economic implications not only in the municipality but in the whole province of Iloilo,” as per the resolution.
Likewise, the atrocities perpetrated by the CPP-NPA CNT are manifestations of betrayal in achieving peace, thus, disrupting the peace and order situation of the municipality.
It can be recalled that in June 2017, around 60 rebels raided Maasin municipal police station, handcuffed policemen and took away their firearms.
About five months later, a police officer was killed in an ambush by the rebels in Bolo village. (JBG/LTP/PIA-Iloilo)
