Three years since the implementation of Memorandum Order 32 in Bicol and more than five years under the fascist US-Duterte regime, the reactionary state and its armed forces failed in all their attempts and attacks to weaken and suppress the militant spirit of the Bicolano revolutionary.
The enforcement of MO 32 witnessed the return of the 49th Infantry Battalion, the establishment of the 22nd IBPA as a regular battalion and the addition of 96th IBPA. In total, there are 16 battalions, of combined AFP-PNP forces, aside from municipal police in the region, which conduct Retooled Community Support Program (RCSP) and Focused Military Operations (FMO) alongside Simultaneous Anti-Criminality and Law Enforcement Operations (SACLEO) and other vicious military and police operations. These operations covered almost all the provinces in the region. The punitive regime brandished its sham force by relentlessly violating the rights of the Bicolano people.
The harassment and fascist violence being wielded against patriotic leaders of progressive organizations in urban areas also worsen. They were abducted, arrested and charged with trumped-up cases as had happened to the likes of Jen Nagrampa of Gabriela-Bikol, Nelsy Rodriguez of BAYAN-Camarines Sur, Pastor Dan Balucio of BAYAN-Bikol, Ramon Rescovilla of Condor-PISTON-Bikol, Elwin Mangampo of PAMALAKAYA-Bikol and Sasah Sta. Rosa of Anakbayan-Jovenes-Bikol. In worst cases, progressive individuals were killed and massacred including the case of July Barotillo ng BAYAN-Camarines Sur and Camarines Sur People’s Organization, Ryan Hubilla and Nelly Bagasa of Karapatan-Bikol, Aldrin Sese of LAMBAT-Bikol, Edwin Pura of BAYAN-Bikol and many others.
All of these took place amidst the deteriorating economic conditions of the region that is continuously suffering from record-setting inflations and economic collapse. These are conditions that only fuel the longstanding anger of Bicolanos. The worsening situation of rights violations only impelled the Bicolanos tofurther intensify their struggle.
Even if the AFP-PNP-CAFGU muster all their forces in the region, they will never obliterate the courage and resolve of every Bicolano. The Bicolanos have shown their steadfastness amidst the fiercest of attacks made by the murderous henchmen of Duterte. With every blow of violation against the rights of the people, thousands of masses responded, protested, displayed their rage and exposed the violence of the military. With every scourge of neoliberal policies such as Rice Tariffication Law, Build, Build, Build, among others, the voice of the Bicolanos immediately reverberated to condemn and expose the rottenness of all these. Mass organizations remain intact and united and are ingeniously mobilizing despite being under immense militarization. Above all, more and more Bicolanos joined the New People’s Army (NPA). The NPA is ever mastering the science of guerilla warfare to launch military actions that would mete punishment to the butchers for their crimes against the oppressed and exploited masses.
The Bicolanos will never accept being silenced, dragged and restrained in their struggle against militarist policies such as MO 32. Their struggle will persevere under the leadership of the CPP-NPA-NDF so that until the end, the current rotten order which allows the existence of fascist regimes that imposes such repressive directives may perish. Anticipate intensified tactical offensives frou Red fighters of the Romulo Jallores Command – NPA Bikol. Through the firm support of the people, resounding victories will be achieved until genuine justice, prosperity and peace that they have fought for so long will be fully realized.
