Posted to the Philippine Army 3rd Infantry Division Facebook Page (Feb 24, 2024): LOOK// State Security Forces neutralize CPP-NPA Communist Terrorist Cell leader and 4 other members in Bohol encounter;  3ID Commander calls to stop recruitment of the youth

The leader of the remnants of the CPP-NPA Communist Terrorist Group (CTG) in Bohol along with four members, were killed in an encounter with the combined forces of the 47th Infantry Battalion, 302nd Brigade of the 3rd Infantry (Spearhead) Division and the combined elements of the Bohol Police Provincial Office in Purok Matin-ao 2, Barangay Campagao, Bilar, Bohol on Friday, February 23, 2024.

The encounter erupted at about 6:52 in the morning during the conduct of a Joint Enhanced Military Police Operation (JEMPO) by government security forces against the remnants of CPP-NPA Bohol Party Committee (BPC) led by terrorist fugitive Domingo Compoc alias Silong.

The firefight lasted for more than two hours resulting in the neutralization of Compoc and four other CPP-NPA terrorists identified as Parlito Segovia alias Aldrin, Assistant Squad Leader and Political Guide; Marlon Omosura alias Darwin, Squad Member; Hannah Jay Cesista alias Maya/Lean, and alias Juaning, a Squad Member.

Based on information, Compoc, a former Commanding Officer of the CPP-NPA Sandatahang Yunit Pangpropaganda (SYP) Platoon of BPC is wanted for a string of criminal charges including rebellion, homicide, attempted homicide, theft, multiple murder, frustrated murder, and robbery.

 
Compoc is the father of Jingler alias "Keth" who was killed in an encounter with government forces in Bilar, Bohol on September 2023 along with Kerlan Fanagel, who is the Secretary General of the CPP-NPA-NDF terrorist front organization Pasakaday Salugpungan Kalimudan (Pasaka) Confederation of Lumad Organization in Southern Mindanao Region. In the said incident, four other CPP-NPA terrorists were neutralized along with Kerlan Fanagel.

The four other CPP-NPA fatalities include Atty. Hannah Jay Cesista alias Maya/Lean who was a member of the Anakbayan-Cebu and a representative of the National Union of People's Lawyers (NUPL)-Cebu before joining the CPP-NPA Bohol Party Committee in 2020.

"Maya", 26 years old and a native of Catubig, Northern Samar, finished her BS Political Science degree at UP-Cebu Campus in 2017 and took up Law at the University of San Carlos. It is most unfortunate and heart-breaking for her parents and family since she only passed the Bar Examinations in November 2022.

Allegedly, “Maya” is the party wife of Parlito Segovia alias Aldrin who also died in the same encounter.
“Maya” is just one of the many Filipino youth whose lives, dreams, hopes, and aspirations for a better future have been destroyed after being deceived to join the CPP-NPA-NDF communist terrorist group. Many of them ended up either being accosted or died in various encounters in the 3ID area of responsibility.

 
Among them were Kerima Lorena Tariman, former UP Collegian editor and a female NPA leader who was killed in a legitimate encounter with elements of 79IB in Silay City last August 22, 2021; Myles Albasin, a student activist from the University of the Philippines Cebu, who was captured during an encounter on March 3, 2018, in Barangay Luyang, Mabinay, Negros Oriental and Marvin Dela Cruz, also known as Lean/Lucas, a former student from UP Miag-ao, who died in an encounter in Miag-ao, Iloilo.

 
All of them were deceived that they blindly embraced the so-called armed struggle that had turned into terrorism and, in the process, sacrificed their lives fighting for a false ideology propagated by the CPP-NPA-NDF.

Like ”Maya”, many Filipino youth have wasted their talents, intelligence, and passion for life fighting for a lost and worthless cause.

Their families are devastated as they watch helpless as the CPP-NPA-NDF terrorist organization steals their children and send them to their senseless deaths.

This is a tragedy that many Filipino families have to suffer and bear.

The fall of CTG remnants in Bohol serves as a reminder of the destructive impact rebel armed groups can have on families and the prospects of the young generation. This incident underscores the profound toll that insurgency takes on communities, highlighting the fragility of family structures and the vulnerability of youth.

Moreover, the recruitment of young individuals into the CPP-NPA-NDF continues the cycle of violence and propagates conflict. These youth are often subjected to manipulation and propaganda, stealing their innocence and exposing them to the horrors of war. A menace that continues to haunt the foundation of every family and the society in general.

MGen Marion R Sison, Commander of the 3rd Infantry (Spearhead) Division expresses his condolences to the families of “Maya” and her colleagues who fell victims to the CPP-NPA-NDF's lost cause.
The 3ID also expresses its condolences to the family of PCpl Gilbert Amper who was killed in the encounter with the terrorist cell led by Compoc. His bravery and heroism shall not be forgotten by the people of Bohol.
MGen Sison emphasizes the need to stop the menace brought about by the CPP-NPA-NDF terrorist organization to the Filipino youth.

"Let us work together to end the local communist armed conflict. Help us convince our brothers, sisters, friends, and loved ones who lost their way to abandon the CPP-NPA terrorist organization", he said.

MGen Sison further calls on the other remaining members of the CPP-NPA-NDF and their allied front organizations in the Central and Western Visayas to lay down their arms, return to the folds of the law, and work with the government as productive law-abiding citizens who contribute to the progress of our nation.

"The government’s offer of peace to the CPP-NPA-NDF remains", MGen Sison concluded.
