CPP/Ang Bayan Daily News & Analysis: US-PH Balikatan Exercises, sinalubong ng mga protesta

Ang Bayan Daily News & Analysis propaganda article posted to the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) Philippine Revolution Web Central (PRWC) Website (Apr 14, 2023): US-PH Balikatan Exercises, sinalubong ng mga protesta (US-PH Balikatan Exercises, met with protests)
 





April 14, 2023

Kabi-kabilang protesta ang inilunsad ng mga pambansa-demokratikong organisasyon sa unang mga araw ng ika-38 US-PH Balikatan Exercises para batikusin ang paglapastangan nito sa soberanya ng Pilipinas. Ayon pa sa mga grupo, inuupatan para sa gera ng ehersisyong militar na ito ang karibal na imperyalistang bayan ng US, ang China. Tatagal ang naturang ehersisyong militar mula Abril 11 hanggang Abril 28.

Nagprotesta ang mga grupo sa Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City sa pangunguna ng Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) noong Abril 11. Nagsunog ng bandila ng US ang mga lumahok sa protesta bilang pagkundena sa Balikatan 2023.

Ayon sa Bayan, “walang katotohanan sa ipinapahayag na ang mga war games na ito ay para sa kapakinabangan at makatutulong sa mga Pilipino.” Anang grupo, ang mga ehersisyong ito ay may kaugnayan sa “paghahanda ng gera ng US at pagpapakita ng imperyalistang lakas nito sa rehiyon.”

“Tutol kami sa hindi patas na mga kasunduang militar sa US na lumalapastangan sa ating soberanya at nagdudulot ng ibayong paghina ng ating bansa. Nananawagan kami na ibasura ang lahat ng hindi pantay na kasunduang militar sa US,” giit pa ng grupo.

Sa parehong araw, nagprotesta rin ang mga progresibong grupo sa Times Square, New York para kundenahin ang pagpasok ng tropang Amerikano sa Pilipinas at ehersisyong militar nito. Sa pahayag ng Bayan-USA, diniin nitong lalo lamang nahihila patungo sa “proxy war” ang Pilipinas dahil sa pagpasok ng 12,000 tropang Amerikano para sa Balikatan.

Ipinahayag ni Nina Macapinlac ng Bayan-USA sa protesta na “walang duda na tayong mamamayang Pilipino ay gitgitang makibaka para ipagtanggol ang ating soberanya.”

Naglunsad din ng pagkilos ang mga kabataan sa embahada ng US noong umaga ng Abril 11 kung saan dinakip ang dalawang aktibistang kabataan. Nakalaya sila noong Abril 12 matapos maglabas ng desisyon ang prosekyutor na kailangan pa ng karagdagang imbestigasyon sa mga kasong isinampa sa kanila ng mga pulis.

Kumilos din ang iba’t ibang grupong ng kabataan sa harap ng Philippine General Hospital at Far Eastern University bilang suporta sa mga kabatang inaresto at pagkundena sa Balikatan Exercises. Nagkaroon din ng pakilos ang mga kabataan sa University of the Philippines-Visayas.

Sa kaugnay na balita, binatikos ng mga grupo ang katatapos lamang na 2+2 Ministerial Dialouge na ginanap sa Washington noong Abril 11. Sa pulong na ito, itinulak ng US ang pagpapabilis ng pagtatayo ng mapanghamong mga EDCA site sa pamamagitan ng pagtataas sa pondo para rito mula $80 milyon tungong $100 milyon.

CPP/Ang Bayan: Philippines, a US pawn against China

April 07, 2023

The Communist Party of the Philippines joins the Filipino people in condemning the Marcos regime in its connivance with the imperialist US to build four additional US military bases in the country. On April 3, Ferdinand Marcos Jr announced its approval to grant “access” to US troops and military equipment in the Camilo Osias Naval Base in Sta. Ana, Cagayan; Lal-lo Airport in Lal-lo, Cagayan, Camp Melchor dela Cruz in Gamu, Isabela and Balabac Island which is part of Palawan.

These locations are identified as “agreed locations” under the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA). The US military is granted extra-territorial rights in these sites. This means that the Philippines has no authority to regulate nor even investigate activities or armaments stockpiled by American troops in these facilities.

With the puppet state’s approval of the “EDCA locations,” it also permits the US to use the Philippines as a pawn to the US strategy against China. This endangers the freedom and lives of Filipinos. All freedom-loving Filipinos have the duty to defend the country by opposing the EDCA and demanding to dismantle foreign military bases in the country.

Three sick Red fighters of the New People’s Army (NPA)-Northeastern Mindanao Region were abducted and summarily killed by soldiers of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). On March 26, husband-and-wife Dano and Rosalia Caindoy were abducted in a hospital in Misamis Oriental while waiting for treatment. They were claimed to have been killed in an encounter between the AFP and NPA in Barangay San Juan, Bayugan City, Agusan del Sur the following day.

On March 29, the AFP abducted 67 year-old and ailing Emanuel Llanos Anob in a Butuan City highway. He also visited a hospital for treatment. His relatives were even able to report his abduction. He was then claimed to have been killed in an encounter in San Miguel, Surigao del Sur the following day. His remains was unceremoniously dumped in a funeral home in Bayugan City.

Another case of international humanitarian law violation was recorded in Kalinga when 50th IB soldiers desecrated the corpse of Red fighter Onal Osia Balaoing (Ka Puk-et) who was martyred in an encounter in Balbalan town on March 9. Soldiers repeatedly fired shots at his dead body until his internal organs spilled out. His arms and legs were broken in many parts.

In Sorsogon, the 9th ID paraded Nestor Estillon and Edwin Jimenez as “surrenderees” on April 3.

Estillon was illegally arrested by the 22nd IB in Barangay Fabrica, Barcelona while Jimenez, known as Ka Bro and memeber of the people’s army, was arrested by the 31st IB in Barangay Lapinig, Gubat on March 9 while visiting his family.

The 59th IB abducted on March 27 three civilians in Batangas and held them incommunicado for almost three weeks. Lloyd Descallar, Alfred Manalo and Angelito Balitostos were abducted in front of the Medical Center-Western Batangas in Balayan. Balitostos, 65, was incidentally passing by while the first two were being abducted.

Manalo and Descallar are volunteers for the Sugarfolks Unity for Genuine Agricultural Reform (SUGAR)-Batangas. After several days of searching and demanding their release by human rights groups, the 2nd ID was forced to admit custody of the three.

Forced surrender in La Union. Police forced four fisherfolk members of the Timek ken Namnaman dagiti Babassit a Mangngalap iti La Union (TIMEK La Union-Pamalakaya) to “surrender” in the second week of March. The four are residents of Barangay San Manuel Norte, Agoo, La Union. They were invited to a police station to supposedly receive aid but upon arrival were presented as “surrendered rebels.”

Harassment of civilians in Negros Occidental. Danilo and Libeth Gerunda were interrogated after 62nd IB soldiers forcefully entered their house at Sitio Caliban, Barangay Banog-banog, Isabela on March 26 and March 28. Soldiers took photographs of the couples’ children aged 16, 12 and 5 years old.

Militarization in Tondo and Batangas. More than 90 soldiers of the 11th IB scoured the communities of Hapilan and Aroma of Barangay 105, Vitas, Tondo on March 9. They searched the community to pinpoint the whereabouts of members of women’s group Gabriela and Kadamay. Hapilan and Aroma are communities facing impending demolition to give way for the Skyway Extension project and land reclamation.

Elements of the 59th IB also went house-to-house in Barangay San Isidro Sur, Sto. Tomas, Batangas on March 12. The said community will be displaced by the Sto. Tomas-Malvar Diversion Road project.

CPP/Ang Bayan: Revolutionaries celebrate NPA’s 54th anniversary

Propaganda article from the English language edition of Ang Bayan posted to the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) Philippine Revolution Web Central (PRWC) Website (Apr 7, 2023): Revolutionaries celebrate NPA’s 54th anniversary

April 07, 2023

Celebrations for the 54th anniversary of the New People’s Army (NPA) were held on March 29 in the entire country and even overseas. Activities were conducted inside the NPA guerilla fronts, in urban centers through clandestine gatherings of National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) allied organizations, and in other countries through meetings and assemblies held by organizations supporting the people’s war in the Philippines.

In its statement, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Philippines paid tribute to the exceptional martyrs and Red fighters of the NPA who offered their lives for the people’s democratic revolution. The Party called on the NPA to “stir up and spread the flames of the people’s war for national freedom and democracy.”

According to the Central Committee, the NPA has steadily advanced and surmounted every disadvantage and setback at every historical juncture in its 54 years of resistance. “It has frustrated the enemy’s campaigns of encirclement and suppression,” the Party added.

Meanwhile, in statements issued by the Party committees in the North Central Mindanao Region, Southern Tagalog Region and Mindoro Island, local victories of the NPA in its areas of operations were laid out. NPA commands in Panay island, Southern Panay, Negros islands’ guerilla fronts, Masbate, Camarines Sur and Camarines Norte, Batangas, Surigao del Sur and NDF chapters in Ilocos, Cavite, Laguna, Palawan and others also released their statements.

The NPA-Central Negros command reported its victories the past year. Its mass base expanded by severalfold and its operations has reached not less than 400 sitios in eight municipalities. It recruited new Red fighters from the intellectual youth in the countryside. Units of the people’s militia in the guerilla front continued to expand which is now composed of hundreds of peasants.

In other fronts in the country, units reported the completion of several batches of Party courses, holding of medical services, and other social services in their areas of operation. These were held despite the brutal and focused military operations in their fronts.

Red fighters and the masses were able to gather in Camarines Norte, Central Negros and South Central Negros and other places for the anniversary.

In Eastern Visayas, celebrations were held despite the onslaught of additional three battalions in the last four months. The fighters held a 21-gun salute for Comrade Jose Maria Sison, martyrs of the Central Committee and of the island.

The activity was successfully concluded by the people’s army and the masses without the enemy’s knowledge. They showcased cultural performances and shared simple food and rice cakes.

In Metro Manila, members of the Katipunan ng mga Gurong Makabayan (Kaguma) held a lighting protest on March 25 and members of the Kabataang Makabayan on April 2. Meanwhile, members of the Liga ng Agham para sa Bayan held a secret gathering.

In the days running to the anniversary, NDFP allied organizations held streamer hanging, wall painting and leaflet distribution in promotion of the people’s war in Metro Manila, Cebu City, in the provinces of Rizal, Laguna, Iloilo, Agusan del Sur and Surigao del Sur. Outside of the country, similar activities were held in Ireland.

Overseas, the Friends of the Filipino People in Struggle (FFPS) spearheaded fora, discussions and gatherings in the US and the United Kingdom. Groups from Ireland, China and other countries also expressed solidarity.

These advances belie the empty statements of the National Task Force-Elcac on April 3 that only two NPA guerilla fronts remain active while 15 others are “weakened” fronts. NTF-Elcac director Ernesto Torres Jr deliriously declared that it dismantled what it said “72 of the 89 guerilla fronts” since 2018. The US-Marcos Jr regime has once again pushed its deadline to crush all NPA guerilla fronts by the end of 2023.

CPP/Ang Bayan: Conditions in NCMR are fertile for armed revolution

Propaganda article from the English language edition of Ang Bayan posted to the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) Philippine Revolution Web Central (PRWC) Website (Apr 7, 2023): Conditions in NCMR are fertile for armed revolution

April 07, 2023

On the anniversary of the New People’s Army (NPA) on March 29, the Communist Party of the Philippines North Central Mindanao Regional Committee ordered NPA units under its leadership to tighten their grasp on the principles of guerilla warfare. It called on NPA units to mount tactical offensives and to frustrate the enemy’s focused military operations.

In the past five years, the CPP and the NPA in NCMR confronted the intensified operations of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) aimed to crush the revolutionary movement in the region. The AFP mobilized thousands of troops and used modern weapons such as drones, fighter jets, helicopters and artillery. State terrorism heigtened in the region, where mothers and their babies are arrested, imprisoned and put under intense pressure, family members of martyred fighters are intimidated and charged with trumped up charges, civilians are murdered and threatened and their houses are ransacked, and where cases of illegal detention, food blockades, and many other human rights violations were recorded.

These were all done amid the livelihood crisis which has caused widespread hunger and poverty in the region. There have been widespread eviction and land-grabbing of peasant lands for commercial plantation expansion. This include eviction of peasants in Malitbog, Bukidnon to give way for San Miguel Foods Inc’s cassava plantation; demolition of peasants in Balingasag, Misamis Oriental for Del Monte’s pineapple plantation expansion; and many others. Military harassment is widespread in barangays Manalog, Kibalabag, Silae and Miglamin in Malaybalay City in line with Del Monte’s plan to seize 6,000 hectares of land for its pineapple, papaya and avocado plantation.

The low farmgate prices of peasant’s produce add to the burden they shoulder, as prices of basic commodities continue to skyrocket. In the past year, a kilo of rubber was bought at around ₱22-₱26 only. Manila hemp was at a low ₱48-₱60 per kilo only, and corn at ₱15-₱22 per kilo.

For Region X, the law mandates a ₱390 daily minimum wage for non-agricultural workers and ₱375 for agricultural workers. In reality, majority of workers only receive ₱250-₱300 due to rampant contractualization.

Many peasants in the region today continue to demand their right to land through collective cultivation and land occupation, confrontation with businesses and landlords and other means. From these struggles arise new youth fighters of the NPA. This validates the justness and importance of the people’s revolution.

CPP/Ang Bayan: NPA-Negros launches armed actions

Propaganda article from the English language edition of Ang Bayan posted to the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) Philippine Revolution Web Central (PRWC) Website (Apr 7, 2023): NPA-Negros launches armed actions
 

This article is available in PilipinoBisaya



April 07, 2023

The New People’s Amry (NPA)-Central Negros mounted three guerilla actions during the last half of March in response to the deployment of additional military forces in the island.

On March 20, the NPA fired at the 7th Regional Mobile Force Battalion’s detachment at Sitio Hinugpayan, Barangay Luz, Guihulngan City, Negros Oriental. Two police elements were wounded. The NPA also fired at the 62nd IB’s detachment in Barangay Sikatuna Proper, Isabela, Negros Occidental on the same day.

Meanwhile, the NPA captured two short firearms from a land-grabber and his armed goon at Sitio Manlama, Brgy Montilla, Moises Padilla, Negros Occidental on March 30.
Intensified militarization

The NPA-Negros criticized the task force created by Ferdinand Marcos Jr supposedly to “maintain peace and order” in the island. The regime used the murder of Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo in March as pretext to deploy additional military forces. This will surely engender further terrorism and fear in the island.

The Marcos regime first ordered the creation of the task force on March 10 which was composed of two brigades and six battalions from the PNP and the AFP. The order was formalized after he signed the Administrative Order No. 6 on April 3.

A 50-element Light Reaction Company, a US-trained unit involved with terrorizing Marawi City, was deployed in the island. The 47th IB also arrived in Negros from Bohol in March.

Marcos’ order comes on top of the Duterte regime’s Memorandum No. 32 which resulted to gruesome crimes against the people of Negros.

This includes the massacre of peasants in what is called the Oplan Sauron 1 and 2 in 2018 and 2019.

The New People’s Army (NPA)-Albay ambushed and killed a police intelligence officer at Sitio Agna, Homapon, Legazpi City on April 5. A 9mm pistol was seized from him.

In Quezon, the NPA ambushed forces of the 85th IB in Barangay Vista Hermosa, Macalelon on March 24. The 85th IB suffered two casualties.

Meanwhile, four were killed and three wounded from the PNP’s 10th Special Action Battalion after the NPA-Mindoro repelled their attack in Sitio Naksib, Barangay Sta. Cruz, Bongabong, Oriental Mindoro on March 15.

CPP/Ang Bayan: NPA-Masbate mounts consecutive tactical offensives

This article is available in PilipinoBisaya




April 07, 2023

Units of the New People’s Army (NPA)-Masbate mounted consecutive guerilla actions in the last half of March. These are part of the efforts of the people’s army to defend the Masbateño masses and dismantle the existing military rule in the province.

Not less than 20 forces of the butcher 2nd IB, CAFGU and police were killed in the four guerilla actions of Red fighters in three towns of the province.

First in its series was the coordinated guerilla actions in Barangay Locso-an, Placer and Barangay Gaid, Dimasalang on March 22. Killed in these armed actions were 10 2nd IB and police troops while not less than seven were wounded. Some of the wounded elements died eventually.

On March 24, NPA operatives bombed the CAFGU detachment in Barangay Manlut-od, Placer. The operation was mounted at 11 p.m. which surprised the enemy’s armed forces in the detachment. Four soldiers and CAFGU elements were killed. NPA operatives also destroyed three huts of the said detachment.

This was followed by a demolition operation on March 27 by the NPA in Barangay Marcella, Uson against the Task Force Sagip created by Marcos Jr. Meanwhile, the unit reported its active defense against attacking 2nd IB forces in Barangay Villahermosa, Cawayan on March 20. The commander of the attacking AFP unit was killed.
AFP violation of the international humanitarian law

Amid the peak of NPA’s guerilla actions, the AFP spread lies that the NPA attacked near a school. The lies were repeatedly echoed by Department of Education (DepEd) secretary Sara Duterte.

In truth, the firefight between the NPA and the AFP was far from civilian population and schools. But in extreme shock and fear, 2nd IB forces ran towards schools in two barangays and fired shots from within. On March 20, soldiers fired shots and launched M203 grenades near the Villahermoso National High School in Cawayan. Meanwhile on March 22, military and police troops retreated to Locso-an National High School after an encounter with the NPA. These incidents caused extreme fear to students and teachers.

The Pambansang Katipunan ng mga Magbubukid (PKM) in the province mocked the operating AFP-PNP-CAFGU troops calling it “cowards” and with “shivering knees.” They use civilians, even children, as human shields to evade NPA attacks.

Meanwhile, police arrested four civilians in Cawayan town on accusations of “harboring” Red fighters in their own houses a day before the encounters. The four were charged with murder.

To further sow fear and terror in the province, the AFP poured 500 additional troops under the pretext of defending the welfare of students and teachers. These add up to the not less than five battalions of military and police which sow terror among the Masbateño masses.

According to the NPA-Masbate, the newly deployed military troops aim to protect the interests of big businesses, mining companies and ecotourism projects which are detrimental to the welfare of the Masbateños.

CPP/Ang Bayan: Celebrate the upcoming 50th anniversary of the NDFP

Propaganda editorial from the English language edition of Ang Bayan posted to the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) Philippine Revolution Web Central (PRWC) Website (Apr 7, 2023): Celebrate the upcoming 50th anniversary of the NDFP


This article is available in PilipinoBisaya




April 07, 2023

On April 24, let us celebrate the 50th anniversary of the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP), the broad alliance uniting revolutionary mass organizations which advance the national democratic movement and support the armed struggle.

The NDFP was established seven months after the first Marcos regime imposed martial law, one of the darkest periods in the country’s history. The NDFP served as the flaming torch which shone light on the path of militant and revolutionary resistance. The NDFP steeled the people’s courage and will to persevere in the difficult path of resistance towards a bright future.

The NDFP Preparatory Commission was created on the initiative of the Party to unite mass organizations forced to operate underground because of the imposition of the fascist dictatorship. It prepared the NDFP manifesto and the 10-point (later 12-point) program which served to unite the broad masses of people. Subsequently, anti-dictatorship organizations would one by one come together under the NDFP.

Not soon after, the NDFP served as the core of the people’s resistance and will later be recognized inside and outside the country as representative of the Filipino people in resistance. Other underground national democratic mass organizations were founded and joined the NDFP. It is now composed of 18 organizations representing different progressive and democratic classes and sectors united by the revolutionary aspiration of ending the rule of imperialism, feudalism and bureaucrat-capitalism.

The NDFP today is the most consolidated part and the most solid backbone of the national united front. It is a united front for the revolutionary armed struggle. The NDFP is indeed the people’s shield, while the New People’s Army is its weapon. Through the NDFP and organizations composing it, armed struggle became widely recognized as a just form of struggle against the Marcos fascist tyranny and the succeeding pseudo-democratic regimes.

With the further advancement of the people’s war in the entire country, organs of political power as embryo of the People’s Democratic Government of the Philippines sprang out. These are represented in general by the NDFP in relating with different movements, nations and governments overseas. The NDFP has excellently upheld and represented the interests of the Filipino people in peace negotiations with the Government of the Republic of the Philippines since 1987, which highlighted the just demands of the people and bore some significant agreements.

The upcoming NDFP anniversary has deep historical significance. It symbolizes the more than five decades of the people’s persistent resistance for national freedom and genuine democracy. The extreme suffering of the majority of the Filipino masses under the current puppet and fascist US-Marcos regime II highlights the need to further strengthen and expand the NDFP and its allied orgnizations, the mass struggles and the revolutionary armed struggle across the country.

Ferdinand Marcos Jr’s gross subservience to the geopolitical, economic and military interests of the US imperialists is unfathomable. He surrenders the Filipino people’s freedom, livelihood and life in exchange for investments, military aid and loans.

With Marcos’ further push for neoliberal policies, the toiling people are being dispossessed of their sources of livelihood and exploited by foreign monopoly capitalists. Mountains, wide swathes of land, and even oceans are being swooped and plundered. The environment is being destroyed, and the peasant masses, fisherfolks and the rest of the toiling people are being driven out and deprived of their livelihood. To attract investments from big foreign capitalists, Marcos turns a deaf ear to the demand of workers and ordinary employees for wage increases amid the unimpeded skyrocketing of food and commodity prices.

Under the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA), Marcos Jr opened four additional locations (from five) to establish US military bases and facilities, displaying subservience to the US imperialists. Two of these are in Cagayan, and one each in Isabela and Palawan. These are additional components to the US strategy of surrounding and provoking its imperialist rival China. The Philippines is part of what the US calls the “First Island Chain” where it aims to establish a network of missiles aimed at China. Under the EDCA, the US can stockpile nuclear arms or any other weapons without the knowledge of Filipinos. This unduly involves Filipinos in a war that is not theirs, and turns the Philippines into a possible target of any action or counter-action by China.

Amid all these, the Filipino people must come together under the banner of patriotism and genuine democracy, to defend the life and freedom of the country. They need to fight in all possible fields of resistance, mobilize the broadest number of people, and exercise their strength to change and carve their own historical destiny.

The role that the NDFP in gathering the strength of the people and creating a powerful wave of protests and resistance cannot be understated.

The NDFP’s national-democratic program must be rigourously propagated to unite the Filipino people. It primarily aims to end the ruling semicolonial and semifeudal system, and to free the country from foreign domination and control. These are the basic conditions to change the Filipino people’s destiny, end the hundreds of years history of oppression and slavery, and bring the country to a new chapter of progress and development.

The Filipino people’s aspiration for genuine freedom and democracy is immeasurable. It cannot be quelled even by the puppet state’s brutal terrorism. Let us draw strength and inspiration from the thousands upon thousands of Filipinos who offered their lives in the now centuries long revolutionary struggle. Let us wholeheartedly give everything to serve the people.

Gikondina usab sa NPA Agusan del Norte kining laing brutal nga pagpatay nga gihimo sa mga uhaw sa dugo ug hakog sa promotion nga mga operatiba ug mga opisyal sa AFP, part. sa 4thID, Alpha Company sa 65th IB ug sa 9th company – 3rd SFB, 1st ug 2nd Scout Ranger platoon nga nagapadayong naga-operate sa Focused Military Operation sa lugar ug patikular sa sitio Vertudazo, Barangay San Juan, Bayugan City, Agusan del Sur. Diin dinhi gipahitabo ang bakak ug peking insidente sa engkwentro ngadto sa giingong 10 o kapin pang membro sa NPA-NEMR nga nagresulta sa kamatayon nila Ka. Dano ug asawang si Ka. Zig niadtong Marso 27, 2023, human sila gidakop niadtong Marso 26, 2023 didto sa usa ka hospital sa iladong syudad sa Misamis Oriental.

Mainiton usab namong gipadangat ang among pakigduyog sa kasub-anan sa mga panghitabo ngadto sa mga gigikanang Kaubanan nila Ka. Dano ug Ka. Zig, ngadto sa derikta nilang mga pamilya, ug sa mga higala sa rebolusyon.

Sa mubong kasayuran sa kasaysayan sa kinabuhi ug pagkarebolusyonaryo nila Ka Dano ug Ka. Zig.

Si Ka Dano, naggikan sa hut-ong mag-uuma ug gipanganak niadtong Agusto 16, 1957 sa lungsod sa Marihatag, Surigao Del Sur. Mitungha siya kutob lang sa sekundaryong ang-ang sa eskwelahan sa Hayskul. Kamagulangan nga anak si Ka. Dano, matud pa sa saysay sa iyang mga kabanay, nagtubo siya nga responsable sa pag-atiman sa iyang mga manghod.

Ang pagpangdaugdaug ug pagpahimulos, ilalom sa estadong giharian ni rehimeng US-Ferdinand Marcos Sr. niadtong dekada ’80 ug ang kabangis sa mga miaging pribadong armado sa mga logging konsesyonaryo, ang nagtukmod kang Ka. Dito, Ka. Rabie ug ulahing pangalang Ka. Dano nga mouban sa panon sa mga kabatan-onang nisampa sa Bagong Hukbong Bayan kaniadtong 1987 aron suklan ang maong kahimtang.

Sa sayong bahin sa iyang pagsampa nahimo siyang usa sa membro sa mga Semi-Legal Team o (SLT) ug kabahin sa aktibong nag-organisa ug nagkonsolida sa mga baseng gerilya sa probinsya. Walay pagduhaduha ug walay pagpili og gimbuhaton, ubay-ubay nang mga tahas nga iyang naubanan ug napatuman nga nagmalampuson.

Sulod sa 36 ka tuig siyang fulltime nga naglihok sa eryang langkob. Usa siya sa mga kadre nga lig-ong nibarug ug nisuong sa malisod nga pakigbisog aron makagamot ang rebolusyonaryong kalihukan sa katawhan sa probinsya sa Surigao del Sur, taliwala kini sa daghang dinagkung serye nga pagpangatake sa kaaway sama sa OPLAN LAMBAT BITAG, OPLAN BANTAY LAYA, ug sa nagsunod pa nga mga “OPLAN” sa mga rehimen nga naglaraw sa pagbungkag sa rebolusyonaryong kalihukan sa erya.

Seryoso ug kugihan nga kauban si Ka Dano sa kinatibuk-an, bisan paman adunay mga ginagmay niyang mga pagkulang ug limitasyon sa paglihok apan abli siya kanunay sa pagtul-id ug kinasing-kasing siyang nag-alagad alang-alang sa interes sa katawhang kabus ug dinaug-daug hangtud sa katapusan sa iyang ginhawa wala siya nisurender sa kaaway, nagpakabuhi siya uban sa masa sa katawhan, nagpakamatay usab siya sa kawsa sa katawhang gidaugdaog ug gipahimuslan.

Samtang si Ka. Zig ang iyang maminahalong asawa, ang nagpakasal kang Ka. Dano atubangan sa bandera sa PKP niadtong tuig 2017. Wala na sila nakabaton og anak tungodkay may igong edad na si Ka. Zig dihang gikasal sila.

Natawo kaniadtong Mayo 2, 1979 si Ka.Zig sa lungsod sa Barobo, Surigao Del Sur. Usa usab siya ka kamagulangang anak sa upat ka mag-igsuon. Mi gradwar siya sa kursong midwifery. Wala siyay pag-ukon-ukon nga magserbisyo sa katawhan sa iyang kahibalong medical dihang human siya migradwar sa iyang pagtungha. Nisampa siya sa NPA dihang nakab-ot niya ang igong desisyon human sa makadaghang kasinatian nga nakita ug nabati niya sa palibot tungod sa walay hunong nagkadaghang biktima sa inhustisya ug militarisasyon sa lugar. Maisugon siyang mitahan sa iyang kaugalingon aron matud pa niya dihang buhi pa siya “motampo siya sa martsa sa pag-usab sa sistema sa katilingban aron kab-uton ang makiayong katilingban alang-alang sa mosunod nga kaliwatan”. Kuyog sila isip magtiayon sa gimbuhaton sa nahisgutang probinsya. Ang naabot nga kahibalong medikal ni Ka. Zig ang puslanong nagamit sa pagpanambal sa mga kaubanang hukbo ug ngadto sa mga masa.

Abli ug hingataw-unon si Ka. Zig, dali siyang maduolan sa mga kaubang mangayo og panabang medikal kaniya. Walay kukakapoy usab siya sa bisan unsa nga gimbuhaton. Dako pa ang pangandoy ni Ka. Zig nga iyang gusto itampo sa rebolusyon ilabina partikular sa linya sa iyang kahanas medikal.

Apan gikutlo ang ilang bililhong kinabuhi sa mga berdugong AFP ug PNP. Susama kanila gipatay usab si Emanuel Balano Anob nailang Ka. Salem, Ka. Masayod, Ka. Zandro sa mao ra gihapong lugar sumpay ra nga mga panghitabo ang bakak nga engrandeng drama ug pekeng engkwentro sa duha ka panig.

Laing paglapas sa balaod sa gubat ang ilang nakomitar. Makauulaw nga nakuha nila kini nga anaa sa sitwasyon nga angay unta nilang hatagan og tawhanong pagkonsidera tungod sa seryosong kaso sa panglawas ug pangidaron ug klarong mga hors de combat nga nakuha nila sa urban erya.

Paspas dayong nipagawas og balitang itom ang mga binayrang tigpaghot sa AFP ang Spokesperson sa 3rd SF arrow head Battalion nga si 1st Lt Juvinie Alpitse ug Spokesperson sa NICA-Caraga nga si Jessie Solomon aron ipakita nga adunay nadawdaw ang dugay ug gastusong operasyon sa probinsya ug sa tibuok rehiyon. Nagpiesta ang mga hakog nga mga opisyal sa AFP ug PNP sa pag-ilogay nga makuha ang award nga salapi nga patong sa ulo sa matag rebolusyonaryong pilipino.

Kondenahon ang AFP ug PNP ug tigtagawtaw og bakak batok sa mga rebolusyonaryo ug komunista!

Mabuhi ang diwa sa rebolusyonaryong mga martir!

Padilaabon ug ipakaylap ang kalayo sa gubat sa katawhan para sa nasudnong kalingkawasan ug demokrasya!

Sampa sa New Peoples Army!

CPP/NPA-Sorsogon: Walang kaligtasan para sa mga sumurender sa ilalim ng mapanlinlang na E-CLIP

Nabatid namin na si Marlon Macabuhay, alyas ka Gary na dating kasapi ng Bagong Hukbong Bayan (BHB) na tumalikod na sa interes at hangarin ng masa, ay tuluyan nang sumuko sa reaksyunaryong gubyerno noong Abril 3 kasama ang mga opisyal ng barangay ng Brgy. Sangat, Gubat. Subalit taliwas sa lahat ng pangako ng PNP at AFP sa kanya ay sinamphan sya ng gawa-gawang kaso ng murder at frustrated murder at kasalukuyang nakakulong sa presinto ng Gubat.

Napag-alamanan namin na habang nakakulong si Macabuhay, ay ilang beses syang nilabas sa piitan upang kausapin ng mga tauhan ng MICO. Nababahala ang kanyang pamilya sa maaring paglabag sa kanyang karapatan habang nasa piitan.

Ang karanasan ni Macabuhay ay ilan lamang sa mga kaso ng panlilinlang ng AFP at PNP sa mga dating kasapi ng BHB at sa mga sibilyan ng Sorsogon. Taliwas sa pangako ng AFP at PNP na “mamumuhay na biliang sibilyan” at “malilinis ang kanilang pangalan” kapag pumaloob sila sa ma-anomalyang E-CLIP, ay pawang pamamaslang at pagkakakulong lamang kanilang sinapit.

Matatandaang pinaslang si Michael “Ka Teban” Bagasala noong Enero 2021 sa kabila ng kanyang pagsuko noong 2018; pagdakip kay Zaldy Balicoco alyas Ka Sonny na sumuko sa mga elemento ng 22nd IB noong 2021; pagdakip kay Salvador Fulgar noong 2019, isang senior citizen at magsasaka, nang malinlang na pumaloob sa E-CLIP; pagdakip kay Danilo Hapa, isang magsasaka, noong Mayo 2022 sa kabila ng “pagsuko” nito upang “ma-clear” ang kanyang pangalan kasama ang kanyang kababaryo; at pag-aresto sa magkapatid na si Ramises at William Hubilla nitong Pebrero 8 kahit na sumurrender sa kampo ng 31st IB si Ramises noong Abril 2018.

Walang maaasahang proteksyon o kapayapaan mula sa hanay ng AFP at PNP ang mga sibilyan at mga dating kasapi ng NPA na tumalikod na sa tungkulin. Kahit ang mga pumayag na “sumurender” ay walang ligtas sa kalupitan at bangis ng estado. Tanging pag giya sa mga operasyon ng AFP at PNP, pagdalo sa kanilang mga aktibidad tulad ng rally at “peace caravan”, pagturo sa mga inosenteng sibilyan at maipasok bilang CAFGU ang mga landas na maari lamang tahakin ng mga pumaloob sa maanomalya at batbat ng korapsyon na E-CLIP.

Sa kabila ng mga hamon na kinahaharap ngayon ng rebolusyonaryong kilusan, habampanahong nasa panig nyo ang BHB upang isulong ang inyong kagalingan at mga karapatan. Tanging sa hanay ng masa at sa landas ng rebolusyon tunay na mararanasan ang katahimikan at kapayapaan na nakabatay sa hustisyang panlipunan.

CPP/CIO: Balikatan 2023 focused on US war preparations over Taiwan

Propaganda statement posted to the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) Philippine Revolution Web Central (PRWC) Website (Apr 12, 2023): Balikatan 2023 focused on US war preparations over Taiwan
 


Marco Valbuena
Chief Information Officer
Communist Party of the Philippines

April 12, 2023

The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and all revolutionary forces condemn the Balikatan 2023 exercises with its barefaced display of US military hegemonism and gross contempt for Philippine sovereignty.

The US deployed 12,600 swaggering troops, joining 5,000 troops of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), to project military power while continuing to provoke China over the Taiwan issue. By brandishing their powerful weapons and staging live fire exercises less than 500 kilometers from Taiwan, the US is brazenly using the Philippines to heighten its provocations against China.

The Balikatan exercises comes at the heels of the recent visit of Taiwan leader Tsai Ing-wen to the US where she met American officials who drumbeated support for Taiwan’s separation from China. The staging of a scenario of an island invasion along the coasts of Cagayan province are clearly a dress rehearsal.

However, even at the risk of making themselves look stupid, Philippine security officials are repeatedly declaring that the Balikatan exercises have nothing to do with US war provocations over Taiwan, in the vain attempt at fooling the people. Their lies are, however, have long been exposed by a leading US military officer who revealed that recent US operations in Japan and the Philippine form part of war theater operations around Taiwan.

On the other hand, the AFP brags that the joint exercises with the US military are geared towards “defending the archipelago,” insinuating that the country is under Chinese threat. They obscure the obvious fact that the Philippines is facing such threats only because the US is using the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA) to build military bases and military facilities in the Philippines as part of the US first island chain strategy against China.

Notwithstanding the fact that imperialist China has violated Philippine sovereignty having built military facilities which have encroached on the country’s maritime territory and dislocated Filipino fishermen, it has not declared nor displayed any intention of invading the Philippines. As a rising imperialist power, China has shown more interest in increasing its power by expanding its economic power without having to go through war.

The US is continually stoking Taiwan “independence” in order to force China to “invade” the island, which in the first place the US and international community have long considered part of Chinese territory. So far, China can counter the provocative and aggressive acts of the US merely by securing the airspace and surrounding waters without actually landing its forces in Taiwan.

The AFP is as interested and zealous as its imperialist masters in igniting a war over Taiwan. The AFP believes it can get its hands on some US military hardware by allowing itself to be used and placed under the command and control of the US. The US military is using the Balikatan exercises to display their advanced weaponry to make the AFP officers drool and forever keep the AFP dependent and impuissant. Officers of the AFP are openly jealous of Ukraine for having received billions of dollars of military hardware, in exchange for allowing itself to be used as pawn in the US war against Russia (even if the US actually only dumped its scrapyard-destined previous-generation weaponry to Ukraine).

The threats of inter-imperialist war continue to rise primarily on US instigation in its drive to force a unipolar world and impose itself as sole superpower.

In unity with the peace-loving peoples around the world, the Filipino people oppose US war provocations and do not agree with the country being used as pawn in the hegemonic schemes of the US. They are outraged by the Balikatan war exercises and will never allow the US to use the country as its military base for its wars of aggression in Asia.

Si Babor ang nagpakuno-kuno nga katapo sang NPA kag nagsurender sa militar sadtong tuig 2018 para magpaggamit nga intel asset sini. Bisan pa man, 2021-2022 halos tatlo na ka beses nga liwat nga gin-istorya sang NPA si Babor para paandaman sang iya pagpaniktik sa NPA. Pabilin nga nagpakatig-a si Babor kag labi pa nga nagsupog. Isa siya sa mga asset sang militar nga naggiya sa operasyon sadtong Oktubre 2022 sa mga binukid sang Guihulngan partikular na sa mga barangay sang Calupaan, Hibaiyo kag Hilaitan. Si Babor isa ka legitimate military target sang NPA.

Nadumduman, sadtong Abril 9, alas 4:00 sang hapon, patay man si Danilo De Baja sa sityo Banat-e, Brgy Macagahay, Moises Padilla sang ginpatuman sang NPA ang silot nga kamatayon. Si De Baja ang ginakilala nga isa ka masupog nga kawatan kag madugay na nga ginareklamo sang pumuluyo sa lugar.

Ini ang sabat sang NPA sa padayon nga militarisasyon sa mga kaumahan sang Central Negros. Ilunsar ang lapnagon kag madinalag-on nga taktikal nga opensiba. Isulong ang inaway banwa tubtob sa kadalag-an!
