NEGROS OCCIDENTAL, Dec. 9 (PIA6)—Brigadier General Benedict Arevalo, commander of the Philippine Army 's 303rd Brigade, recently urged students of Bago City College (BCC) not to fall prey on the "Deceptive Youth Recruitment Strategy of the Communist Party of the Philippines, New People’s Army and National Democratic Front (CPP-NPA-NDF".
In a lecture, Arevalo explained the deceptive schemes of CPP-NPA-NDF in infiltrating the different schools, state colleges and universities, a press release from the brigade said.
He warned the students to be wary of the NDF organizations saying these groups will only fool them, fill their hearts with hatred and will distort their minds with lies to convince them to join or support the NPA.
Arevalo showed to the 500 faculty and students, a short animated video entitled "Pindoy," exposing the modus of the CPP-NPA-NDF in deceiving and misleading the youth to join the NPA.
He emphasized that students should be discerning in knowing what activism is from terrorism. He stressed that activism is not a crime but supporting terrorism is a crime.
Last month, Arevalo was also invited to speak on the same topic at the Colegio De Sta. Ana De Victorias in Victorias City as guest of honor and speaker for the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC). (JBG/303rd Brigade, PA/LLJR-PIA6)
