Kalinaw News: Memoirs of a Teenage Rebel publicize in Agusan del Norte

From Kalinaw News (Feb 5, 2021): Memoirs of a Teenage Rebel publicize in Agusan del Norte

KITCHARAO, Agusan del Norte- The 29th Infantry (Matatag Fighters) Battalion in cooperation with the Local Government Unit of Cabadbaran, Agusan del Norte recently launched a free film viewing of ‘Memoirs of a Teenage Rebel’ at the Rizal Park Plaza Cabadbaran City, Agusan del Norte.

The documentary film is a workpiece of the Philippine Army in cooperation with Robinhood Cariño (RCP) Productions, to expose the deceptive schemes committed by Communist Terrorist Groups (CTGs) and their front organizations.

It covers the story of Ivy Lyn Corpin, a former rebel who had left the armed group in her pursuit of much peaceful life.

Likewise, the unit has also uploaded the said full movie at the 29IB Official Facebook Page for those others who weren’t able to watch it at the Plaza.

According to Lt. Col Aristotle F Antonio, Commanding Officer of 29IB, “The movie is perfect to be watched by youth and parents to help them see the reality of deception and recruitment made by these NPAs. Also, this would awaken the sense of responsibility of every parent to better lookout and properly guide their children.”

“Perhaps, some might say that what we don’t know won’t hurt us; but I think this doesn’t apply with the NPAs scheme of deception, because the more that we don’t know them or what they’ve been doing to our children and other fellows, more surely it would endanger and kill them. That is why, the unit has been very zealous in its aim to conduct information education campaign (IEC) in the whole area of operation, not just that they may be informed and awaken from its sweetest lies, but also that people may not have any excuse to say that they have been deceived or that they didn’t know that it was NPAs then. We want the people to know who the hell NPAs are, and they would be the one to throw them out of their sitios and out of their lives,” Antonio boldly said.
