TABUK CITY, Kalinga ─ “We want a community with rebels joining us to use their intelligence and not bullets and guns to reform the government,” highlights the message of the Provincial Governor Ferdinand Tubban as read by Provincial Legal Officer Ken Martinez during the Indignation Rally against Communist – Terrorist Groups on December 26, 2019.
Tubban recalled that while Christmas is a season of joy and family get together, history tells that this season is, unfortunately, also a season feared by families of uniformed personnel. “If you look up reports from way back, this is the month when rebels celebrate their founding anniversary with killings and ambushes of police and army officers,”
“This day, we are here to tell them (insurgents) that we do not want a community where there are people saying they want peace but their action contradicts their intention,”
The Provincial Governor said that they want a community where these rebels come down from the mountains and join the state to fight real problems such as poverty, mal-education, and underdevelopment.
“The communist rebels in the Philippines recruit many of the bright minds from the best educational institutions only to die in battle or lose their chance to utilize their God-given gifts to their communities and families.”
They should just join the government and utilize their talents for the next generation and uphold the rights of all and not only theirs.
The Governor further elaborated that the Philippines is stuck while many Southeast Asian countries already solved their problems on communism and they are now using their resources and military power to guard their territory from external powers.
“The Philippines use much of its resources to protect its people from its own people,” Tubban underscored.
Moreover, Tubban reiterated that whether we like it or not, communism is dying and children will soon wake up and learn that there is no longer a true communist country or communist ideology because countries are characterized by capitalism and free market, businesses and exchanges.
The Governor adds that the real battle is the preparation of children’s future against global competitions.
“We need to unite to create a solid and well-developed community, able to withstand the effects of economic shocks to secure our existence for a brighter tomorrow,” Tubban encouraged.
“Let us beseech and beg our friends and loved ones still in the mountains to come down. Let us help them see the reality that the past is no longer the present. Having a better life is not fighting against the government because we are the government,” the Provincial Governor concluded.
