Ormoc City, Leyte – The 802nd Infantry “Peerless” Brigade, 8ID, PA has posted an open letter on Facebook that was written and addressed to Gabriela Partylist by a former NPA child warrior asking help in filing a rape case against a NPA Commander.
Alias Ka Shane, 17 years old and a resident of Hilongos, Leyte, was recruited by the NPA when she was on her 2nd grade.
NPA has promised her education in exchange of joining the organization.
Alias Ka Shane was then assured by her parents, who was also member of the organization, that she will graduate.
She was brought to a hide-out in the mountains and was assigned in medical team.
The former rebel claims that she was raped and sexually harrassed by her commander numerous times.
Ka Shane recalls her frustrations of joining CPP-NDF-NPA hence atone her mistakes of being recruited by returning to the fold of the law and exposing harrasments inside the organization.
“We condemn the exploitation of the children and we call the groups who are advocating children and women’s rights to join in the efforts of saving the future of the children by stopping the CPP -NPA-NDF recruitment,” said Brigadier General Zosimo Oliveros, Commander of the 802nd Brigade.
