Expressed in simultaneous indignation rallies, Bicolanos showed their abhorrence and repugnance to the senseless killings done by CTG members in the past decades, a testimony that they want an end to the 52 years of terrorism and their support to the government’s program in ending the conflict that snatched the lives of many innocent people.
As an active member of the Regional Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict, 9th Infantry (SPEAR) Division also took part in the activity and held a simple program in its Multi-Purpose Gym.
Division Public Affairs Office (DPAO) Spokesperson Capt. John Paul Belleza, in a press statement said that the Bicolanos conjoin to express their abhorrence, condemnation and disgust against the atrocities, deceptions and terrorism of the Communist Terrorist Group (CTG) through the region-wide indignation rallies.
“One of the highlights of the activity was the simultaneous candle lighting to mourn for the death of the people who died due to the CTG’s terrorism and the burning of the replica of CTG's flags. Prior to this, series of peace and indignation rallies were already conducted in various barangays in Masbate along with the rising number of LGUs declaring the CTG as persona non-grata,” Belleza stated.
Ka James, one of the Former Rebels (FR) who once lived the lawless life while in the organization, shared his experience during the event. He became emotional when he recalled the time when the government, which he once considered as enemy, helped him to start anew and live a better life.
“Tama na. Itigil na natin ang singkwentang taong karahasan at pagpatay. Walang patutunguhan ang gyerang ito. Ako mismo ang magpapatunay niyan (This is enough. Let’s stop this 50-year violence and killing. No one will benefit from this war. I am a living testimony of that)," Ka James said.
Joint Task Force Bicolandia and 9th Infantry “Spear” Division Commander MGen. Henry A. Robinson Jr., PA, stressed that the government will not stop until genuine peace is achieved.
“The 52 years of havoc, wickedness, ruthless, unlawful and terroristic acts of the CTG is more than enough already. Now, is the right time to eliminate and put an end to this worthless-battle and suffering that destroy our country, economy and our people, in particular,” Robinson said.
