Such actions by the CPP-NPA and its allies are also parties to corrupting words sacred to the IPs should be condemned and penalized because they are in violation of the IP rights.
This, according to National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) head, Secretary Allen A. Capuyan, during the Annual Panel on the Rights of Indigenous People themed “Indigenous Languages” during the 42nd Session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland on September 18. Capuyan was referring to the following IP words which were misappropriated by the communist rebels:
* Bagani, a word signifying tribal defense and law enforcement, has been corrupted and used to name communist armed units “Pulang Bagani Command” or “Red Bagani Units” which fight against the government;
* Salugpungan, a word signifying protection of the ancestral domain, has been exploited to refer to training schools for child combatants and warriors and to people’s organizations or non-government organizations (NGOs) headed by non-indigenous people for purposes of raising funds from international sources to serve criminal ends; and
* Pantaron, a word signifying sacred place and paradise, has been misappropriated to refer to NPA encampment areas, headquarters, and national operational command.
