The New People’s Army-Negros Island Apolinario Gatmaitan Command condemns to the highest terms the brutal murder of Florida “Ka Kelly” Ceballos and her companion, Wilfredo Fuentes, by bloodthirsty troops of the 94th Infantry Battalion under the 303rd Brigade, Philippine Army.
We would like to make clear:
Ka Kelly went missing while she was conducting social investigation on the current situation of farmers and farm workers in the haciendas of Himamaylan City and Kabankalan City, particularly the land holdings of Eduardo Cojuangco Jr. last December 8, 2021. While travelling on a motorcycle with civilian, Wilfredo Fuentes, on her way to Kabankalan City, around 4:00 in the afternoon, she was captured by criminal soldiers of the 94IB. Since then, she and her companion went missing, tortured and salvaged by state forces, until the 94IB declared her dead yesterday, December 15, 2021.
It was a cover up, not an encounter the 303rd Brigade and 94IB touted that happened on the afternoon of December 14 in Sitio Belo (at the foot of Mt. Cansermon), Barangay Buenavista, Himamaylan City, Negros Occidental, where they deceitfully claimed of finding the bodies of Ka Kelly and Wilfredo Fuentes.
Only fascist brutes in the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) can blatantly rejoice while their hands are crimsoned with the blood of revolutionaries they mercilessly murdered.
Ka Kelly is the tenth revolutionary in Negros within 2021 whose rights as hors de combat was violated along with Ka Jekjek and Ka JK in Guihulngan City last March 24, Ka Michael and Ka Kenken in Hinobaan last April 17, Ka Ella in Silay City last August 20, and Ka Monet, Ka Brod, Ka Huawei and Ka Simo in Manapla last September 30.
Based on the principles and standards of international humanitarian law, upon capture, not in anyway with the capacity to fight, she should have been entitled to respect for her life, dignity, human rights, political convictions and moral and physical integrity. She should have been treated humanely.
Though revolutionaries are ready to face sacrifices and difficulties, and even offer their lives, to serve the people and wage a just war to achieve national liberation and genuine peace, senseless killings of revolutionaries and blatant violations of the protocols of war is unacceptable.
The revolutionary movement in Negros will not rest until justice is achieved for Ka Kelly and all the victims of atrocities and human rights abuses of the AFP and the Duterte regime.
We call on international and local human rights bodies to investigate this incident. If left unchecked, state forces will continue to kill with impunity. Bodies are piling up on the doorstep of the AFP.
Finally, we call on the local government unit of Himamaylan City to release the bodies of Ka Kelly and Wilfredo Fuentes to their families so they can be laid to rest.
JUSTICE FOR FLORIDA “KA KELLY” CEBALLOS AND WILFREDO FUENTES!
MAKE THE AFP/PNP ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALL VICTIMS OF HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS AND STATE FASCISM!
