The Regional Operations Command of the New People’s Army in Southern Mindanao strongly condemns the extra-judicial murder of comrade Dennis “Ka Mayen” Rodinas by joint AFP and PNP forces in an outskirt barangay in Cebu City last October 11.
Ka Mayen was an hors de combat, who was recuperating after having sought medical treatment for his illness and was therefore unable to give battle when armed state agents stormed in the house and summarily executed him.
The fascist state forces likewise arrested pregnant comrade Girlie Mercado and two of Ka Mayen’s relatives, Ryan and Rodelyn Moralde, in the Tokhang-style operation. Comrade Mercado and Ka Mayen’s two civilian relatives must be unconditionally released from wrongful detention.
Revolutionary forces, the peasant and Lumad masses and allies grieve the loss of a courageous Red commander and Party cadre. Ka Mayen served as one of the commanders of the Southern Mindanao Regional Operations Command before his failing health forced him to seek immediate medical attention late last year.
He was instrumental in the successful raid of the residential compound of Mayor Joselito Brillantes, Jr. in Monkayo town, Compostela Valley on April 14, 2015 which netted 74 high-powered firearms, including 4 machine guns. In April 2012, he was also one of the Red commanders who pulled off a bold joint tactical offensive against a security company in Butuan City that protected large-scale mining operations, where 66 high-powered firearms were seized.
He displayed his class bias for the oppressed masses and against the ruling class and its rabid anti-people mercenaries in the tactical offensives which he spearheaded that made a deep impact in the lives of the masses. One such offensive action was the April 2017 punitive action against bourgeois-comprador Lapanday Foods Corp. and rendered justice to thousands of peasants displaced by the company’s land-grabbing operations and to workers exploited by low wages and other unfair labor practices. In October 2015, an NPA unit under his command carried out an order by revolutionary people’s court meting out revolutionary justice against paramilitary leader Dario Otaza and his son Daryl for their numerous crimes against peasants and Lumad in the province of Agusan del Sur.
Ka Mayen was deployed in Western Mindanao Region where he was captured and jailed for several years before he staged a daring escape in July 2011 with the aid of an NPA unit in the Bukidnon – Davao City national highway in Kitaotao town. In that tactical offensive, four Bureau of Jail Management and Penology personnel, including a provincial warden, were held as prisoners of war.
The gruesome murder of Ka Mayen at the hands of state forces stands in stark contrast to how NPA units humanely treat AFP and PNP prisoners of war on many occasions. AFP 1st Lt. Vicente Camayo, Compostela Valley Provincial Jail warden Jose Mervin Coquilla, Ozamiz Provincial Jail Warden Erico Llamasares and Deputy Chief of Police Menardo Cui were only among the many prisoners of war who expressed high regard to the way they were treated by their NPA custodial units under Ka Mayen’s leadership.
Ka Mayen was organized during his college years in Davao City, eventually deciding to do full-time work as an urban-based activist in the early years following the Party’s Second Great Rectification Movement. He decided to join the NPA in early 2000 and became one of the leading Red commanders of petty bourgeois background who contributed greatly to the upsurge of the people’s war in Southern Mindanao.
The AFP will certainly gloat over the summary killing of Ka Mayen and hype it as another achievement in their anti-people counter-revolutionary war. Time and again, they fail to realize that killing a revolutionary, especially in the fashion that the fascist US-Duterte regime has become accustomed to, will not stem the tide of the revolution, but will only flame the anger of the masses.
Ka Mayen’s life, as with all other martyrs of the revolution, will be remembered and celebrated by masses and comrades in the only way they know how–by waging the revolutionary armed resistance until victory.
