CAMP PERALTA, Jamindan, Capiz – MGen Eric Vinoya, the Commander of the Army’s 3rd Infantry (Spearhead) Division slammed Juanito Magbanua, spokesman of the NPA’s Apolinario Gatmaitan Command for criticizing the Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict in Negros Occidental and disapproving Localized Peace Talk.
Juanito Magbanua needs enlightenment about ELCAC and Localized Peace Talk since his press statement clearly revealed his ignorance about the real purpose of these peace efforts. He is unaware that his comrades, family, relatives, and even he can benefit from these drives that aim to address root-causes of insurgency, MGen Vinoya said.
You always boastfully claim that you are the voice of the oppressed and depressed populace, and you are fighting for the welfare of the masses, but your actions always contradict your words. Are you in hallucinations or maybe in a total naïve of the situation to assert very dumbly about the real situation on the ground? Condemning and rejecting Negrenses’ drive for peace and progress is equivalent to hampering their fervent desire for peaceful and progressive community.
You are not helping them alleviate their social condition, instead, you are making it worse. You are making their lives miserable for you to continue exploiting and abusing their condition to advance your selfish and ruthless armed struggle. That is the painful truth about your terrorist organization Negrenses should know, MGen Vinoya emphasized.
“The government agencies through TF-ELCAC are converging their efforts in addressing root-causes of insurgency especially in conflict-affected and vulnerable communities. They are bringing government services and programs closer to these areas to transform them into a conflict-resilient communities conducive for sustainable peace and development. Now, I would like to ask Magbanua, is there any wrong with that? If it is wrong with you, then, you are not for peace and development. You are not fighting for the welfare of the people.
Your press statement is a confirmation of your true nature as anti-people, anti-peace, and anti-development terrorist organization,” Vinoya stressed.
Despite Magbanua’s criticism, the 3ID Commander thanked him for helping the government spreading the awareness about CPP-NPA Terrorist’s evil ways. “Your press statement is a big help to our anti-insurgency campaign. Through your statement, the Negrenses are now fully informed that your terrorist organization is indeed an organization full of selfish, greedy, liars and cold-blooded individuals.
Your members are now aware that they are just wasting their time, effort, and precious lives in waging nonsense and senseless struggle,” he further stressed. “The people is with our side now. It is their desire to end the decades-long insurgency, for this country to move forward while taking the path towards peace and development.
As the true people’s partner for peace, we are committing ourselves together with the local government units and different government agencies to fight for their welfare as mandated by the law. In due time, the Philippine Army will wipe you out in the region, hence, you better surrender while you still have time, or be killed in least sensible way,” he added.
