Today, November 22, 2021, the Pambansang Katipunan ng mga Magbubukid (PKM-Negros) continues to seek justice for all atrocities and injustices experienced mainly by peasants due to Memorandum Order No. 32 (MO32) imposed on Negros Island, Samar and Bicol.

“Three years after the implementation of MO32 effectively placing Negros Island under a State of Emergency, an undeclared martial rule by the fascist Duterte regime, PKM has recorded almost a hundred activists and peasants killed, while countless human rights violations were committed against Negrosanons,” Felicidad Mercado, PKM-Negros spokesperson, said.

Mercado further remarked that MO32 together with Executive Order 70 or the so called “whole-of-nation approach” continues to taint Negros Island with the blood of peasants, human rights activists and advocates.

It also noted that many of the violence were perpetrated by state forces and paramilitaries, alongside island-wide red-tagging, forced and fake surrenders, illegal arrest and detention based on trumped up charges, massive militarization and bombings of peasant communities, she said.

PKM-Negros expressed that these fascist schemes of the Duterte regime using the AFP/PNP as instruments targetted organized peasants to further perpetuate the control of haciendas, vast tracts of productive land, in the hands of a few big landlords and compradors, therefore, maintaining feudal and semi-feudal relations.

“Today, we are reminded of one of the most brutal and violent exercise of power by the bloodthirsty Duterte regime, but more importantly, we honor the farmers and our martyred comrades who sacrificed their lives to fight for our aspiration for genuine agrarian reform and liberation from such oppressive and exploitative conditions,” Mercado added.

“There is no greater honor we can give to the victims of MO32 than to continue waging the national democratic revolution in order to hold the Duterte regime accountable for the long-list of brutal crimes committed against Negrosanons and the entire Filipino people and finally achieve national liberation and just and lasting peace,” she concluded.###
