TACLOBAN CITY, Nov. 18 (PIA) -- It’s a 100 percent NO to NPA as all the ten local government units in the second district of Northern Samar have declared the CPP-NPA persona non-grata.
This came to pass as the LGU Palapag, recently passed a resolution declaring the CPP-NPA persona non-grata.
Palapag will soon create its municipal task force to end local communist armed conflict in the area.
When it does, Palapag will join the other 2nd District of Northern Samar LGUs: Las Navas, San Roque, Gamay, Catubig, Silvino Lubos, Pambujan, Laoang, Mapanas, and Lapinig, that have heeded the call of President Rodrigo Duterte to end the five-decade communist insurgency in the country.
The declaration which adopted the resolution earlier passed by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Northern Samar, is a manifestation that the people of Northern Samar can no longer tolerate the intimidation, deceit, and extortion activities brought about by the CPP-NPA-NDF.
It was learned that for 2019 alone, various atrocities/activities by the CPP-NPA-NDF were recorded. Among them are the :
- Shooting incident on Army personnel conducting community works in Brgy. Quirino, Las Navas, Northern Samar on April 13, 2019;
- Ambush on two (2) Army personnel while conducting a survey with the Corps of Engineers on the proposed road project in Brgy Catoto-ogan, Las Navas, Northern Samar on April 15, 2019;
- The killing of Jay Raymunde, then a 10-year old who was lobbed by an IED in Brgy. San Miguel, Las Navas, Northern Samar on April 17, 2019;
- Harassment on Army personnel conducting community support program in Brgy. San Francisco, Las Navas, Northern Samar on April 23, 2019;
- The killing of Hon. Apolinario Lebico, Barangay Chairman of San Miguel, Las Navas, Northern Samar on April 25, 2019;
- Attack on Army patrol base securing Samar Pacific Coastal Road Project in Brgy. EJ Dulay, Laoang, Northern Samar on May 21, 2019;
- Harassment on Poponton Detachment, Las Navas, Northern Samar on August 9 and 11, 2019; and
- Series of anti-government demonstrations/rally utilizing women, children, elderly and PWD in the municipality of Las Navas, Northern Samar by the communist NPA front organizations like Katungod Sinirangan Bisayas-Karapatan, Northern Samar Small Farmers Association, SAGUPA, and APKLAS. They call for the pullout of the military in Las Navas but silent on the atrocities of NPA. (PIA-8)
