BAYAWAN CITY, Negros Oriental — The people of Barangay Nangka declared the New People’s Army as Persona Non Grata August 3 at Nangka Agrarian Reform Farmers Association (NARFA) Site, Sitio Ondol.
Over a hundred residents from the said barangay gathered for a peace rally to express their strong condemnation against the Communist Party of the Philippines and its armed wing.
There were 120 people who carried posters and tarpaulins with messages calling for an end to the atrocities and violations of human rights perpetrated by the communist terrorist group.
Barangay Nangka Chairperson Roel Cadalso led oath of allegiance. He also signed the barangay resolution that declares the members of the NPA as Persona Non Grata.
Ms Nimfa Marcos-Virtucio led the Department of Trade and Industry in giving livelihood package vouchers to Nangka United Farmers Association (NUFA) beneficiaries to support their daily living. The vouchers include livestock, feeds, pigs, compressors for vulcanizing, sari-sari store, and fertilizers.
11th Infantry Battalion Commander Lieutenant Colonel Ramir Redosendo said, “This activity only shows that these terrorists are not welcome here in Barangay Nangka. The residents made a clear commitment of support to the government’s fight against communist insurgency. Do not be fooled again in their recruitment scheme by making malicious accusations against the government. This so-called fake news brought by the CTGs against the government and law enforcers only shows that they are greatly hurt by the sustained effort of the government, and we are on the right track in ending insurgency in our area. The government’s “Whole-of-Nation” approach to end the local communist armed conflict in Negros Oriental is an effective tool in addressing security concerns and addressing developmental challenges in the community. The passage of the Anti-Terrorism Law (ATL) will further limit the CTG exploitations and insidious acts towards innocent faces.”
“The Communist Terrorist Groups (CTGs) should realize that their so-called ideology is a lost cause since there is no more issue to feed on. If they want unity and cooperation, lay down their arms, and return to the folds of the law and avail the government’s reintegration program,” Lt Col Redosendo added.
Other personalities present during the activity were Bayawan Peace & Order Council representative Jonas Trias, Bayawan City Police Station Deputy PLT Tomas Wagas Tanutan, Dept of Agriculture Representative Elena Taburada, City Public Safety Office representative Cindy Salimbagat, and Municipal Agrarian Reform Office representative Jannette R Behagan.
