NDF-BICOL
December 21, 2021
The NDF-Bikol recognizes the advancements achieved by the Bikolano mass movement in the face of all adversities brought by the US-Duterte regime’s tyranny. The tyrant is mistaken. The oppressed masses of the region did not bow down to any of all the attacks mounted by the bloodthirsty agents of the ruthless regime. Rather than succumb to fear and indecision, the Bikolano mass movement displayed heightened courage against all attacks – from red-tagging, illegal arrests, manufacture of false charges down to brazen killings.
In the midst of terror, the masses’ yearning to organize and mobilize themselves in defense of their democratic rights quickly grew and flourished. Various progressive organizations were formed, memberships of organizations upholding mass interests expanded and the continuous exploration and maximization of new forms of propaganda and mobilizations prospered. Because of the mass movement’s persistent efforts, illegally arrested mass leaders such as Jen Nagrampa of Bicolana GABRIELA, Pastor Dan Balucio of Bayan-Bikol, Sasah Sta. Rosa of Jovenes Anakbayan Naga City and most recently, Nelsy Rodriguez of Bayan-Camarines Sur were freed. Their liberty prove that the state have failed to silence the voices who advocate the oppressed Bikolanos. Despite the violence they endured from the hands of the murderer police, they continued serving the poor Bikolano masses.
The series of killings perpetrated by the PNP-AFP such as the salvaging of the two activists Jaymar Palero and Marlon Naperi in Guinobatan caused the further resolve of Bikolanos to fight the relentless violence of Duterte’s armed butchers. Families of the human rights violations victims resolutely stood up for justice and inspired the others not to yield. They were successful in unveiling and bringing the crimes that the murderous AFP-PNP-CAFGU so desperately tries to cover up to the public’s attention.
The ever-worsening crisis the Bikolanos experience due to the plummeting economy, liberalization of agriculture, botched-up pandemic and disaster response, further worsened by militarization both in the cities and countryside are circumstances that ensure the sustained growth and strengthening of the mass movement. These are the conditions that push the mass movement to avoid complacency and to pursue greater advances in their tasks of organizing building alliances and mounting of campaigns for the benefit and interests of the Bikolano masses.
They must be vigilant, alert and prepared in any of the final desperate blows sure to be devised by the administration before the end of its term. Success of mass campaigns, that are currently launched and that shall be undertaken, in the region must resound throughout the country and overseas. These victories prove that genuine change is truly in the hands of the people who dare to fight and uprise.
