Posted to Kalinaw News (Apr 13, 2021): NPA Commander charged for sexually abusing teen rebel



CAMP HERNANDEZ, Dingle, Iloilo -The Commander of the CPP NPA’s Suyak Platoon, Southern Front is facing charges for sexually exploiting a 16-year-old former female rebel in Iloilo.

Joven Ceralvo known as “Ka Lex” was accused by alias Nene of violating Republic Act (RA) 9208 or the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act, as well as Republic Act 7610, or the Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation, and Discrimination Act.

Nene testified against Ceralvo after she voluntarily surrendered to the Army’s 61st Infantry Battalion on March 17, 2021. She narrated how Ceralvo sexually abused her and other female members of the group.

Her father accompanied her during the filing of charges against Ceralvo. “Nalipay ako kag ang akon pamilya nga may lakip nga kaugot, kasubo kag tuman kabalaka, tungod ang wara maagyan ka bata ko mga kasakit, naabtan na rigto sa poder ka mga NPA,” Nene’s Father statement in vernacular.

“I am hoping that more parents whose children have suffered the same fate will come out and file charges against the malicious and deceptive communist-terrorist groups. Let us save all those children who were deceived and exploited by the CPP-NPA-NDF. Let us give our children a peaceful and better place conducive for living and creating a brighter future by helping us end the decades-long cruelty of these communist-terrorists,” BGen Sison added.
