Posted to Kalinaw News (Sep 3, 2019): Agusan del Norte IP Community Disown CPP-NPA

BUENAVISTA, Agusan del Norte- A Higaonon Indigenous People’s Community in Agusan del Norte declared the Communist Party of the Philippines, New People’s Army, National Democratic Front (CPP-NPA-NDF), and their allied organizations and its supporters as “Persona non-Grata” on August 31, 2019.

The declaration was passed through a Barangay Resolution initiated bythe Barangay Council, Tribal Leaders and the residents of Brgy Lawa-lawan, Las Nieves, Agusan del Norte.

The weary IP community who were fed-up by the deception and manipulation of the CPP-NPA Terrorists condemns and renounces their affiliation to any CPP-NPA organizations for killing of many Tribal Leaders and recruiting IP youths to be members of armed group.

Meanwhile, Punong Brgy Hon More H Migduyan states that: “Let us not give the CPP- NPA a chance to once again deceive, manipulate and use our tribe especially the newgeneration. Let us renounce the CPP-NPAs and protect our tribe. As what you can see, our Brgy is on its developing process and it is far different from what it looks like before. Let us cut any ties and support to them until they will no longer exist in our area. -Migduyan added.

Moreover, Lieutenant Colonel Francisco L. Molina Jr, Commanding Officer, 23rd Infantry Battalion expressed his gratitude to the Barangay Council and Tribal Leaders of Lawan-lawan for withdrawing their support from the CNTs and says, “I am glad that without second thought you showed support the government on its campaign of putting an end to the Local Communist Armed Conflict in your area. Indeed, you made the right decision. Let us continue to work hand-in-hand in solving insurgency. -LTC Molina added.
