The Eastern Mindanao Command (EastMinCom) hopes that members
of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) will return to the path of
peace as it celebrated its 47th founding anniversary on Saturday.
"The wish is for the (CPP) to tread along the peaceful
path to change through the democratic space being provided to them, to heed the
call of the people for just and lasting peace and join the mainstream Filipino
society," EMC public affairs office chief Capt. Alberto Caber said.
In the same vein, he is also hoping that the rebels would
realize that the armed struggle it is pursuing has only brought untold
sufferings and miseries to the people.
"EastMinCom also wishes for the Filipino people to
strongly assert their rights and desires for peace and an end to terror and
violence brought about by the armed struggle being carried out by the (CPP's)
armed wing: the New People’s Army," Caber added.
This wish comes in the context of the National Democratic
Front (NDF)-Mindanao’s propaganda on what the rebels have done in Mindanao , particularly in the countryside, for the whole
year of 2015; all significantly hampering, if not countering the government’s
delivery of services and causing insecurities to the communities.
"The wish is for CPP to stop creating an environment
which is detrimental to the security of the people in Eastern
Mindanao and other parts of the country, by secretly or discreetly
mobilizing them for the armed struggle through deception, threats, intimidation
and manipulation," Caber added.
Aside from this, he is also asking the rebel group to stop
from demonizing the government and its efforts to uplift the lives of the
people.
