BUTUAN CITY, Jan. 21 (PIA) - The Indigenous Peoples (IPs) in Caraga region have received a threat through a message sent by the Communist Party of the Philippines - New People’s Army (CPP-NPA), after Datu Bontula Tinaghao Mansinugdan, a Higaonon tribal leader in Barangay Kinamaybay, Esperanza, Agusan del Sur was inhumanely killed in the said area.
The terrorist CPP-NPA has warned the IPs to stop hindering them from their operations; in reporting to the authorities; and even tipped off to halt in following their trail in the communities or locations where they passed by.
Despite this warning, the IPs were not threatened as they are firm with their stand to fight for what is right for the welfare of the IP community.
According to Datu Manligonan “Larry” Mansinugdan, punong barangay of Kinamaybay, Esperanza, Agusan del Sur, the CPP-NPA are the ones who should feel troubled and embarrassed as they are ones who are merely causing violence and abuses to the IPs.
Datu Manligonan stressed that the NPAs violate the agreement on ceasefire in the country. They take this as an opportunity to penetrate and move from one community to another, just to cause conflict.
“I’m not scared because we are on the government’s side. The NPAs are the ones who should fear the government because they always violate the rule of the law,” cited Datu Manligonan.
He further elaborated that with the implementation of Executive Order 70 of the Duterte administration, the CPP-NPAs have difficulty in doing their illegal operations in the barangays.
Datu Manligonan also called on the NPA members to stick to the agreement on ceasefire, since they were the ones who asked for it to the government. (JPG/PIA-Caraga)
