Karapatan Southern Tagalog, in a statement on Sunday, said the group and the relatives of the slain rebels were asking authorities to abide by international humanitarian law and the 1949 Geneva Convention on the proper conduct for the deceased, whether friend or foe.
These Karapatan officials have the gall to speak of decency and humanitarian laws and yet cannot explain why their fellow 'activists' ended up dead with those NPA terrorists in Palawan.
These colleagues of theirs who, while they were alive, vehemently denied they were members of the CPP NPA NDF and loudly complained of government red-tagging them.
And yet there they were on Sept 3, dead- killed in legitimate military operations while taking up arms against government.
CPP NPA NDF through and through.
And KARAPATAN has once again stepped up in the defense and care of proven terrorists.
They proclaim themselves as "human rights defenders" and yet all they've defended are terrorists.
You will not hear KARAPATAN speak in behalf of others. Their hearts, for instance, have not bled for Algerome Bernardo, a civilian nurse who was killed during the NPA ambush of a Disaster Rescue vehicle in Brgy Dumarao, Roxas, Palawan last July 2020. Nor of the 3 other civilians wounded with him.
For him and the countless others, KARAPATAN's Cristina Palabay will not offer a word of sympathy nor ask that their remains be treated with respect and dignity.
So starkly different from her response to terrorists who get killed in legitimate encounters while battling government forces.
Our sympathies are with the family of the slain. We can only imagine the grief and pain they've had to endure that a loved one had the bad sense of joining MAKIBAKA which is the underground organ of GABRIELA, that fronts for the CPP NPA NDF. They must have known a violent end was inevitable for their kin with the kind of life she chose.
What would have happened though if the planned offensive of the NPAs in Palawan and Mindoro had succeeded and they were not stopped by government forces?
One only need look at the non-stop killings in Surigao, Bukidnon, Mindoro of our indigenous brothers and sisters in the hands of these communist terrorists.
And yet not a word of compassion nor any humanitarian appeal has escaped from the mouths of these hypocrites.
What they expend their energies on are the relentless opposition by the Kamatayan Bloc on the NTF ELCAC budget- most notably by ACT Rep de Castro and Bayan Muna Rep Carlos Zarate.
The Morong 38 whom they vehemently defended as mere activists have turned out to be NPA combatants killed in various encounters.
Lorelaine Saligumba @Fara and Lilibeth Donasco @Moc were both killed in armed engagements, but only after they had kidnapped young IP girls,aged 14 and 16 whom they treated as slaves, intially just to fetch water and carry their backpacks. These children were held captive for two years and escaped only after their leaders were killed.
These are the kinds of monsters these fronts duplicitously label as "activists" and that they fiercely defend by bringing out the "redtag" card to silence government.
