From Kalinaw News (Dec 27, 2022): OPAPP, YFP-Baguio Chapter supports Peace Convention against CPP anniversary
CAMP MELCHOR F DELA CRUZ, Upi, Gamu, Isabela- The Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process, through Father Adonis Bringas, supported and participated in the Peace Convention conducted by the 5th Civil-Military Operations Battalion on December 26, 2022, at Malcom Square, Baguio City.
“It is high time to embrace change.” Change for the better and for the common good. We can attain peace when we are brave enough to let go of the things that hinder us. Iwaksi natin ang mga mapanlinlang na katuruan na nagdadala sa atin sa kapahamakan at kahirapan,” Fr Bringas said during the activity.
Together with the Youth for Peace-Baguio Chapter and the PNP Cordillera, more or less 1,000 spectators showed interest and condemned the atrocities of the Communist Party of the Philippines on its 54th anniversary.
Alias Kira, a former rebel unmasked the left leaning organizations on her testimony. She shared her experience as a former member of Migrante International for six years before she joined the armed group-New People’s Army.
“Naging miyembro ako ng grupong sumusuporta sa NPA sa loob ng anim na taon bago ako ipinasampa upang maging miyembro ng NPA. Mapagbalat-kayo ang CPP-NPA-NDF. Napakagaling nilang magmanipula hanggang sa masira nila ang buhay ng kanilang biktima!” alias Kira said as she also voiced out her relief on Joma Sison’s death.
LtC Dominador Valerio, Battalion Commander of 5CMO, stressed out that the activity is part of the continuous appeal to the remaining victims of the deceptive recruitment of the CPP-NPA-NDF to return to the fold of the government. “You are now given the time and opportunity to return to the folds of the law.” Your family is waiting for you. “Wishing for your return this holiday season.”
The officer further noted that the army is an ally of the people in attaining inclusive peace and development.
