Opinion: 53 years of a satanic cult in this Christian country

Opinion piece posted to the Manila Times (Dec 24, 2021): 53 years of a satanic cult in this Christian country (By (Ret.) Lt. Gen. Antonio Parlade Jr.)

THE Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) will celebrate its 53rd anniversary on December 26 while this generally Christian nation celebrates the Christmas holidays. Isn't that very ironic considering that communism as a satanic cult is intrinsically evil?

Yes, if you read all these literature from Europe starting with "The Satanic Theology Behind Cultural Marxism," Google Zevi, or go to http://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/benjamin/1940/history.htm you will learn about these big secrets of Karl Marx, his father Heinrich, Lenin and Stalin. They were all members of the Sabbatai Zevi satanic cult. Zevi was a kabbalist and oculist who in 1666 declared himself the Jewish Messiah. He then turned the Torah around by declaring that all sins were now considered "holy." One hundred years later, Jacob Frank would declare himself a reincarnation of Zevi. The Sabbatean and Frankist heresies would continue until they found their way to the Soviet Union.

Fast forward to the 1960s, Spanish communist priest Jose Alegria and Fr. Luis Jalandoni, who were associated in the Gregorian University in Rome, introduced communism to a select Filipino clergy, especially the Jesuits. They realized that this godless communist ideology would not work in a devout Catholic nation. Sison and his cohorts again used the revolutionary dual tactics, toying around with Church dogma by covering their evil design through the Christian for National Liberation (CNL). In effect, they justified that violence and killings were not evil as long as these were done to fight for the rights of the oppressed. Great.

After infiltrating the Catholic Church, Sison did not spare the other Christian churches. While in exile in Utrecht, he saw that many of the wealthier congregations were non-Catholics. He then targeted the World Council of Churches thus exploiting the benevolence of these church-based organizations to support the underground: Asktion-Gruppe, Evangelische Kirche, Brot für die Welt, Diakonia, Broederlijk, Bishops Lenten Campaign, to mention a few.

So now we understand why the Rural Missionaries of the Philippines, Save Our Schools network, UCCP-Haran or University of San Carlos Cebu, are actively supporting these CPP programs on the Indigenous peoples, knowing that these same programs continue to push our children to their death. These young kids are being raped by their NPA colleagues, yet we do not hear any condemnation from these purported Christians in our midst.

That's the effect of the deceptive and duplicitous nature of the CPP.

After 53 years, it's not only our Christian faith that they have destroyed. They have destroyed too our judicial, political and democratic processes even as they continue to destroy our families.

First, the government filed cases against NDF "consultants" Tiamzons, Satur Ocampo, Vicente Ladlad etc. for their role in the Inopacan, Leyte mass murder and the judge dismisses one of the cases for lack of DNA test to confirm that those skeletal remains indeed belonged to the victims of the CPP-NPA purge. Cannot the judge just instruct the authorities to do this and that to confirm the allegation?

Listen to the video of Satur Ocampo who admits to the mistakes of the CPP killing many of their innocent members. Read the CPP's anniversary statements as they claim to have "tortured and murdered 950 cadres during the Oplan Missing Link, Olympia, Kadena de Amor...." How can our judges not take account of these things? Were they under threat? Infiltrated? Or paid?

Second, the Comelec dismisses the disqualification cases filed by the NTF-Elcac against Gabriela, Kabataan and Anakbayan party-list for receiving foreign funding which is against the Constitution and the Election Code; and for taking part in the armed struggle, despite a very tight case against them.

Meantime, the same Comelec disqualifies a party-list of former cadres and rebels who now want to take part in the parliamentary struggle through their Abante Sambayanan. Many more like the Guardians who want to fight terrorism were also disqualified. Is Comelec also under threat? Infiltrated? Or paid by the CPP and not paid by the other applicants?

Third, the Supreme Court affirms the constitutionality of the Anti-Terrorism Act, sans a few minor deletions. In effect it believes in the arguments of the NTF-Elcac and the National Security Council that this law should be in place to protect citizens against these terrorists, including the CPP-NPA-NDF.

Comes now all these senators and the vice president herself are moving to defund the NTF-Elcac and in fact pushing further to abolish it. What's worse is they have bonded together as political entities, led by Mayor Isko Moreno and another by Vice President Leni Robredo, bringing into their parties as members people who were positively identified by their former CPP colleagues as part of these terrorist organizations. How do we make sense of these? In this age of social media, how can these politicians continue to parrot CPP slogans of defending human rights, press freedom, etc. against the backdrop of gruesome killings, rape and destruction being committed by these people they are in bed with?

That's Satan celebrating the communist anniversary as they feast with us in the spirit of Christmas.

Duality. Duplicity. Hypocrisy.

Nope! It won't work this time. Not in May 2022. Happy Holidays!

KATIPUNAN NG MGA SAMAHANG MANGGAGAWA-CPDF (BALANGAY WILFREDO 'KA HOBEN' ALUBA)

CORDILLERA PEOPLE'S DEMOCRATIC FRONT

December 31, 2021

Ang taong 2021 para sa masang anakpawis ng Kordilyera ay taon ng nagpapatuloy at tumitinding krisis ng malakolonyal at malapyudal na lipunan. Nagpapatuloy ang kagutuman at kahirapan bunsod ng kawalan ng nakakabuhay na sahod, kawalan ng regular at disenteng trabaho, at kapabayaan sa serbisyong panlipunan. Nagpatuloy ang pagpapatupad ng mga neoliberal na polisiya sa rehiyon at sa lokalidad. Nariyan pa rin ang banta ng makadayuhang Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program at Public Market Modernization. Nagpatuloy ang kawalan ng sapat na ayuda para sa mga manggagawa at mala-manggagawang tuwiran at di-tuwirang naapektuhan ng pandemya.

Dagdag pa sa mga ito, ang taong 2021 ay kakikitaan ng tuloy-tuloy at papatinding pasistang atake sa masang anakpawis. Ang kilusang manggagawa at mala-manggagawa ay nakaranas ng tuloy-tuloy, nakapokus, at tumitinding pasistang atake mula sa tiranikong rehimeng US-Duterte at sa mga uhaw sa dugong mga pulis at militar. Tampok sa mga atake at paglabag sa karapatang pang-tao na naitala ay ang tuloy-tuloy na red tagging at terrorist labelling sa mga progresibong organisasyon ng mamamayan at sa mga lider nito, ang pagtatanong at pangangalap ng impormasyon sa mga aktibidad at lider nito, at ang kampanya na magpa-clear ng pangalan ng mga aktibong miyembro o ng mga matagal na naging bahagi ng mga progresibong organisasyon. Ang mga ito ay naglalayong tanggalan ng kredibilidad ang mga ang lehitimong organisasyon at ang mga lider nito upang matakot at huwag makitipon ang mga masang anakpawis sa mga aktibidad na inilulunsad ng mga nasabing organisasyon. Hindi maikakaila na sa mahabang panahon ang mga lehitimong organisasyong nakaranas ng mga atake at paglabag sa karapatang pantao ay nagtatamasa ng prestihiyo bilang tunay na boses at kumakatawan sa mga pang-ekonomiya at pampulitikang kahilingan, kagalingan at karapatan ng masang anakpawis sa rehiyon at sa lokalidad.

Sa kabila ng mga ito, bigo ang tiranikong rehimeng US-Duterte na pigilan ang mga paglaban ng masang anakpawis. Patuloy na napanghawakan ng kilusang anakpawis ang tungkulin nito sa paglantad ng kainutilan at kapabayaan ng estado sa kanyang mamamayan, sa protesta sa mga polisiya at programang naglilingkod sa mga imperyalista at sa mga naghaharing uri, at higit sa lahat sa paglahok sa demokratikong rebolusyong bayan.

Sa kabila ng tuloy-tuloy, tumitidi at nakapokus na pasistang atake ang KASAMA-CPDF ay patuloy na nakapagpalawak at nakapagkonsolida sa pamumuno at gabay ng Partido Komunista ng Pilipinas. Ang KASAMA-CPDF ay mayroong 28% paglawak ng kasapian at kalakhan o 63% ng mga kasapian nito ay napakilos sa iba’t ibang porma at antas. Tampok sa mga ito ang pagbibigay ng mga kontak na maaring marekluta at ang sistematikong pagbibigay ng tulong at suportang teknikal, materyal at pinansyal para sa armadong pakikikbaka. Susing salik sa mga nakamit na tagumpay na ito ang tulo-tuloy na edukasyon, pagproseso ng takot na naramdaman, at pagbalangkas ng mga hakbanging pangseguridad at pag-iingat.

Ang KASAMA-CPDF ay regular na nakapaglunsad ng pulong ng mga konseho nito. Ang mga nasabing pulong ay nagsilbi para sa patuloy na pagpapalawak at konsolidasyon ng kasapian. Sa partikular, nagsilbing daluyan ang mga pulong sa pagbubuo ng pagkakaisa kaugnay sa mga isyung kinakaharap at sa pasistang atake at sa pagbabalangkas ng mga hakbangin.

Ibayong sumulong ang paglulusnsad ng mga pang-grupo at pang-indibidwal na talakayan, ang pamamahagi ng rebolusyonaryong babasahin, at ang paglulunsad rebolusyonaryong pag-aaral. Ang patuloy na pagapataas ng pampulitikang kamulutan sa kasapian ay nagresulta sa higit na determinasyong kumilos para sa demokratikong rebolusyong bayan sa kabila ng mahirap na kalagayan.

Patuloy na nakapagpalawak ng lambat para sa tulong teknikal, lohistikal, materyal, at pinansya para sa armadong pakikibaka. Mayroong 90% paglapad ng lambat suportang maaaring pakilusin para sa mga pangangailangan ng mga kasapi ng Bagong Hukbong Bayan.

Sa pagtatapos ng taon, ang KASAMA-CPDF ay nakapagpreserba ng lakas, ibayong nakapagpalawak, at higit na nakapagkonsolida. Napanatili nitong bulag at bingi sa mga ahente ng estado ang mga aktibidad nito. Sa pagsalubong sa bagong taon, tangan ang mga aral na nakamit ngayong taon, ang KASAMA-CPDF ay may mataas na rebolusyonaryong diwa at higit na determinado na biguin ang pasista’t tiranikong paghahari ni Duterte lagpas sa 2022 at na makabuluhang makapag-ambag sa pagsulong ng digmang bayan sa hindi pa naabot na antas.

Masang anakpawis ng Kordilyera, lumahok sa demokratikong rebolusyong bayan!

Ipagtagumpay ang digmang bayan!

Itatag ang Sosyalistang lipunan!

As 2021 ends, NPA-Bikol casts the 9th IDPA, PNP Region V and the whole Joint Task Force Bicolandia with undeniable failure. The butchers are now stewing in silence and shame after the NPA’s valiant defense frustrated their shots at a last round of attacks before the year finally ends. Striking among these was Tomas Pilapil Command NPA-East Camarines Sur’s active defense against 9th IDPA troops’ attempt to overrun their unit last December 28 in Sityo Campo Nueve, Brgy. Del Carmen, Lagonoy. The Red fighters successfully drove the enemy troops to retreat. They were also able to seize four military packs and costed the enemy two wounded men and one dead element. Meanwhile, the NPA had no casualties.

To top JTFB’s pile of failures this year, they also failed in their attempts to hinder the Bikolano masses and their Red Army from celebrating CPP’s 53rd anniversary. Majority of Party units both in localities and the NPA, revolutionary mass organizations and revolutionary committees were able to successfully hold small and large assemblies to honor the advancements of the people’s democratic revolution. This is a clear picture of the dauntless struggle waged by valiant Red fighters of the NPA under CPP’s leadership.

Where have JTFB’s arrogant drivels since 2016 that they would crush the revolutionary movement in Bikol gone? Have the Filipino people not been hearing these empty claims for 53 years already? Paltry deadlines that, year after year, the AFP-PNP and their masters always end up being forced to move further. As the years of their failure accumulate, the public have already understood that these asinine declarations that the revolutionary movement is weakening, unremitting parades of fake surrenderees and other vapid shenanigans are but desperate cover-ups for the fact that their campaign to put an end to the people’s revolution has reached nothing.

If there is one thing that the mercenary army and the ruling classes has to learn already from their patent failures this 2021 and the whole time that they were foolishly trying to end the people’s war, it is that no weapon can ever be more powerful than the people’s own resolve to defend their lives and future. They can buy all the modern arms they can get their hands on, beef up the salaries and rewards of their minions, but these can never match the people’s burning desire to break free from slavery and poverty. This aspiration drives the masses to persevere, progress and overcome any obstacle. This fuels them to offer their time and lives in the service of the people without wanting any reward or recognition in return.

As 2022 approaches, each Red fighter and commander holds in their hearts the lessons of struggle and an even more steadfast resolve to frustrate the enemy and achieve substantial advances. Their wholehearted desire to serve their own kind: the oppressed and exploited, and attain genuine freedom, guarantees that no matter what the enemy invokes, no matter the sacrifice and hardships, no matter the complications in the struggle, the reason to continue and fight shall always prevail.

Sa pagtatapos ng 2021, kabiguan ang pabaon ng BHB-Bikol sa 9th IDPA, PNP Region V at buong Joint Task Force Bicolandia. Tikom ang bibig at tiklop ang tuhod ngayon ng mga berdugo matapos biguin ng matatag na pagharap ng BHB ang kanilang mga pahabol na pagsalakay bago magtapos ang taon. Tampok sa mga ito ang pagtatanggol ng yunit ng Tomas Pilapil Command BHB-East Camarines Sur laban sa tangkang kubkob ng tropa ng 9th IDPA sa Sityo Campo Nueve, Brgy. Del Carmen, Lagonoy nitong Disyembre 28. Matagumpay na napaatras ng mga kasama ang umatakeng militar, nakasamsam ng apat na military packs at nakapagdulot ng dalawang sugatan at isang patay sa hanay ng kaaway. Samantala, walang kaswalti sa hanay ng BHB.

Bilang huling salvo sa patung-patong na kabiguan ng JTFB ngayong taon, hindi rin ito nagtagumpay sa pagpigil sa masang Bikolano at kanilang Pulang hukbo na ipagbunyi ang ika-53 taong anibersaryo ng PKP. Kalakhan ng mga yunit ng Partido sa lokalidad at hukbo, mga rebolusyonaryong organisasyong masa at komiteng rebolusyonaryo ay nakapaglunsad ng maliliit at malalaking pagtitipon upang gunitain ang mga pagsulong ng demokratikong rebolusyong bayan. Larawan ito ng patuloy na pakikibaka ng magigiting na Pulang mandirigma ng BHB sa ilalim ng mahigpit na pamumuno ng PKP.

Nasaan ang ipinagyayabang ng JTFB mula pa noong 2016 na dudurugin ang rebolusyonaryong kilusan sa Bikol? Hindi ba’t 53 taon nang naririnig ng sambayanang Pilipino ang hungkag na mga palugit na itong taun-taon ding binabawi at iniuurong ng AFP-PNP at mga among rehimen? Sa tagal-tagal ng panahon, batid na ng publiko na ang kanilang animo’y sirang plakang deklarasyon na mahina na ang rebolusyonaryong kilusan, walang patid na parada ng mga pekeng sumuko at iba pang pakulo ay desperadong pantabing sa katotohanang walang anumang pinatutunguhan ang kampanyang wakasan ang rebolusyon.

Kung may isang bagay na dapat nang tanggapin ang mersenaryong hukbo at naghaharing-uri sa nagdudumilat nilang kabiguan sa taong 2021 at buong panahong pagkukumahog na tuldukan ang digmang bayan, ito ay: walang sandatang higit na makapangyarihan kaysa sa kapasyahan ng mamamayan na ipagtanggol ang kanilang buhay at kinabukasan. Bilhin man nila ang lahat ng makabagong armas, palobohin nang ilang ulit ang sweldo at pabuya ng mga de-susing alagad, hindi nito kailanman matutumbasan ang pagnanais ng mamamayan na lagutin na ang tanikala ng pagkaalipin at kahirapan. Ito ang nagtutulak sa masang bumabalikwas na walang humpay na magsikhay, patuloy na magpakahusay at igpawan ang lahat ng mga balakid. Ito ang nagtutulak sa kanilang i-alay ang kanilang buong panahon at buhay para sa paglilingkod sa bayan nang walang hinihinging anumang gantimpala o pagkilala.

Sa pagpasok ng 2022, tangan ng bawat Pulang mandirigma at kumander ang mga aral sa pakikibaka at ang mas mahigpit na kapasyahang biguin ang kaaway at magkamit ng makabuluhang mga pagsulong. Ang buong-pusong pagnanais na paglingkuran ang kapwa inaapi at pinagsasamantalahan at kamtin ang tunay na kalayaan ang katiyakan na anumang gawin ng kaaway, anumang sakripisyo at kahirapan, anumang salimuot sa landas ng pakikibaka, lagi’t laging mananaig sa bawat isa ang mga dahilan upang magpatuloy at lumaban.

MARCO VALBUENA

CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER
COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE PHILIPPINES

December 31, 202

Even worse economic crisis, raging pandemic and political repression are the grim prospects for the Filipino people in the coming year 2022. This is a result of anti-people and pro-imperialist policies and state terrorism of the US-Duterte tyrannical regime.

The only hope for the Filipino people rests on heightening their resistance against the ruling tyranny and advancing their patriotic and democratic cause. Only by waging mass struggles and all other forms of resistance can they be assured of a better situation in the coming year and in the future.

This year, the Filipino people are expected to stand firm in their fight against the perpetuation of the Duterte political dynasty and the full restoration of the Marcoses in the apex of reactionary power. Even as broad coalition of political forces are set to oppose the Dutertes and Marcoses in the electoral arena, the Filipino people must be ready to exercise their democratic power in the streets to frustrate Duterte’s plans to rig and steal the elections.

In the face of widespread unemployment, rising prices, prospects of more onerous taxes, and overall worsening conditions, the oppressed and exploited classes and sectors must intensify their mass struggles to demand wage increases, land, jobs, expansion of public health, education and other essential services and other urgent demands.

The declared plan of the military and police to “crush” the NPA and the people’s armed resistance before May 2022 will fail utterly. The armed revolution being waged by the New People’s Army will continue to expand and strengthen with the ever deepening and broadening support of the peasant masses and Filipino people.

As we move to 2022, the Party calls on the Filipino people to raise their determination to fight and heighten their vigilance against Duterte’s worsening state terrorism and attacks against the people.

The Party is determined to strengthen itself in order to more effectively lead the people’s democratic struggles and carry forward the people’s democratic revolution to unprecedented heights in the coming period.

Matapos sikreto nga gintago sang militar, gin-interogar kag gintortyur sulod sa pila ka adlaw si Ka Kelly kag si Manong Dodong. Disyembre 14, 2021 ginpakita sang militar ang bangkay sang duha kag base sa binutig nga pahayag ni BGen. Pasaporte, kumander sang 303rd Brigade, nga napatay sa isa ka engkwentro sa Sityo Belo, Barangay Buenavista, Himamaylan City, Negros Occidental.

Isa ka paghinabon sang isa ka butigon nga heneral ang peke nga engkwentro agud mahatagan rason ang ila pagpatay sa wala sang ikasarang magbato ukon hors de combat. Ang bangkay ni Ka Kelly may lagub sa liog kag mata, may daku nga pilas sa iya butkon kag dughan agi sang pagbuno kag nagapalanggit-um. Amo man ang bangkay ni Manong Dodong. Pamatuod lang nga gin-tortyur ang duha antes nga ginpatay.

Wala ini sang kinalain sa natabu kay Ka Oris upod sa iya medical aide nga matapos nga gin-abduct, gin-torture kag ginpatay, kag ginpaggwa sang militar nga napatay sa isa ka engkwentro.

Nagapakig-unong ang AGC-NPA sa kasubo sang pamilya, kaabyanan kag sa tanan nga kaupod sa pagtaliwan sang aton bag-o nga martir. Nagapakig-isa kami sa tuman nga kaugot nga ginabatyag sang pumuluyo sa Negros sa tanan nga mga kalakasan kag kapintas nga tuga sang pasista kag berdugo nga AFP/PNP. Nagapanaad kami nga mahatagan sang hustisya ang tanan nga biktima sang terorismo sang estado kag paslawon ang kontra-rebolusyonaryo nga giyera sang rehimen US-Duterte paagi sa pagsulong sang inaway banwa.

Si Floreta “Ka Kelly” Ceballos, ukon mas kilala nga Ka Panie sa mga kaupod, tumandok sang Barangay Pandanon Silos, Murcia, Negros Occidental, isa ka isganan kag makahas nga kadre sang Partido nga katapu sang Komite sa Rehiyon sa Isla sang Negros. Sa sobra tatlo ka dekada nga lubos panahon nga pagserbisyo sa pumuluyo, si Ka Kelly nangin isa ka rebolusyonaryong asawa kag iloy, anak, utod, abyan kag kaupod. Utod siya ni Alexander Ceballos lider mangunguma sa ila lugar, ang labing una sa sobra gatos nga biktima sang extrajudicial killing sa idalum sang berdugo nga rehimen US-Duterte.

Naghalin siya sa sahing imol nga mangunguma. Bangud sang kapigaduhon, wala ini nakatapos sang elementarya apang may duna nga talento. Pamatan-on pa siya sang na-organisa siya sa grupo sang mga kultural nga aktibista. Mahinay maghambal kag maayo makigbagay sa mga kaupod. May pagkasampaton kon mag-isplikar sa iya punto ilabi sa linya sang iya trabaho nga nagapamunu sa intermedya nga bahin sang larangan gerilya sang sentral Negros. Rason nga ara sa iya ang pagsalig sang mga gina-organisa nga mangunguma tubtob sa mga abyan kag alyado sang rebolusyon.

Una niya nga nangin trabaho sang naglubos panahon sa rebolusyon amo ang hilikuton pang-istap sa idalum sang yunit sang Partido sa urban tubtob nangin sentro nga nagapamunu sang isa ka mayor nga hilikuton pang-istap sa rehiyon. Nangin katapu siya sang komite sa larangan gerilya sa norte sang Negros kag nangin political instructor man sang Rehiyonal nga Sentro de Grabidad. Asta nga nangin katapu sang komite sang rehiyon sang Negros sadtong 2016.

Matingkad nga kinaiya ni Ka Kelly ang paghatag sa tanan nga masarangan sa hilikuton nga gintalana sa iya sa tunga sang mga limitasyon kag kabudlayan. Bisan may mga ginabatyag nga balati-an, pursigido sa gihapon si Ka Kelly sa pagpatuman sang mga hilikuton nga gintalana sa iya. Permi niya nga gina-una ang kaayohan sang kabilugan kumpara sa iya nga kaugalingon.

Sang gin-abduct sang kaaway, nagpatigayon si Ka Kelly sang pangkatilingban nga pagpangusisa sa subong nga kahimtangan sang mga mangunguma kag mamumugon sa uma sa mga asyenda sa Himamaylan City kag Kabankalan City. Ginpatay siya sang mga pasista nga elemento sang 94IB bisan wala sang kapasidad nga magbato. Si Ka Kelly ang ikanapulo nga ginpatay nga rebolusyonaryo sang militar nga ara sa status sang hors de combat sa isla sang Negros sini lang nga tuig.

Ang pagtaliwan ni Ka Kelly sa kamot sang pasista nga kaaway aton gid ginakasubo bangud nadulaan kita sang maayo nga kadre sang Partido. Bilang katapu sang Partido aton na ginahandaan ang sakripisyo kag kabudlayan kag bisan ang paghalad sang kabuhi kon kinahanglan. Nagserbisyo kita sa pumuluyo kag rebolusyon nga wala naga-ulikid sa kaugalingon, ini ang tatak sang isa ka komunista. Ang tanan nga tao segurado nga mapatay apang ang kamatayon may tagsa-tagsa ka kahulugan. Ang mapatay nga naga-alagad sa pumuluyo pareho kabug-at sang bulkan sang Kanlaon, amo man ini kabug-at sang kamatayon ni Ka Kelly para sa aton.

Ang paghalad sang kabuhi ni Ka Kelly indi nagakahulugan sang pagkahuyang sa armadong rebolusyon. Ang armadong rebolusyon iya sang pumuluyo kag samtang ang mapiguson kag mahimuslanon nga sistema sang mala-kolonyal kag mala-pyudal nagapabilin sa pungsod Pilipinas magapadayon ang masa sang pumuluyo nga magsuporta kag magpakigbahin. Bitbit ang inspirasyon nga ginhatag sang mga baganihan kag martir sa rebolusyon, madamu sang mga pumuluyo ang handa nga magpadayon sa pagrebolusyon.

Wala na kita sang angay pa nga himuon agud pasidunggan si Ka Kelly kag iban pa nga baganihan kag martir sa rebolusyon kundi ang determinado nga pagpatuman sang mga rebolusyonaryo nga hilikuton sa pagpasulong sang inaway banwa, pagpatuman sang agraryo nga rebolusyon kag pagtukod sang baseng masa agud mapaslaw ang mabangis nga atake sang pasistang rehimen US-Duterte kag handum ni Duterte nga maglawig pa sa poder. Ikambyo ang kasubo sa kaakig pakadto sa pasistang rehimen nga amo ang berdugo nga manugpatay sa mga rebolusyonaryo kag pumuluyo nga pigos kag ginhimuslan.###

Mabuhay ang mga martir kag baganihan sang rebolusyon!

“This aid gives our fellow Filipinos an assurance that we are with them in this challenging time. We exist not only for combat but also, in providing relevant and responsive aid such as these relief goods for ongoing HADR operations in typhoon-affected communities,” the CSPA remarked.

Army units—together with national government agencies, local government units and private sector partners—are working ‘round the clock to provide relief and rehabilitation assistance for typhoon-afflicted communities.

Kalinaw News: 79IB conducts CTG information drive in Calatrava

Posted to Kalinaw News (Dec 31, 2021): 79IB conducts CTG information drive in Calatrava



Sagay City, Negros Occidental — The Army’s 79th Infantry (Masaligan) Battalion has intensified its awareness campaign to counter the recruitment, extortion activities and violation of human rights committed by the Communist Terrorists Group (CTG) operating in Northern Negros. This activity was initiated after a series of shooting incidents happened in Calatrava and its neighboring towns in mid-December.

An information awareness drive was conducted on thursday, December 30, 2021 at Sitio Huebesan, Brgy Marcelo, Calatrava, Negros Occidental and was participated in by the residents and Barangay Officials headed by Brgy Captain Arnulfo Libod-libod.

Lieutenant Colonel J-jay Javines, Commanding Officer of 79IB provided the overview of the activity highlighting how the residents can contribute in the goverment’s whole-of-nation approach to end local armed conflict.

Said activity was also highlighted with a film showing entitled “Suplong-The Fall of Ka Oris” a documentary by veteran TV journalist Mr. Ceasar Soriano on the last days of Jorge “Ka Oris” Madlos as head of the NPA’s National Operations Command before the AFP finally caught the most wanted NPA in the country.

The troops also displayed tarpaulin containing information about active NPA personalities and the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP) benefits such as but not limited to financial and livelihood assistance, and value of firearms surrendered to the government.

The various efforts of the Philippine Army in clearing focus barangays under the influence of the NPAs were likewise shared to the participants.

In his message, Brgy Captain Libod-libod thanked 79IB for initiating the activity. He urged his constituents to closely collaborate with the Philippine Army and local PNP to ensure that the abuses and violence of the Communist NPA Terrorists (CNTs) will be put to an end.

For his part, Lt.Col. Javines enjoined the residents of Brgy Marcelo not to be persuaded by the senseless ideology and so- called “help and justice” from the NPAs.

“The attainment of an insurgency-free community require a collective effort from all sectors of the society. The AFP and PNP cannot do it alone. Without your support, we can only do so little. Hence, I encourage everyone to join hands and help the government’s effort to put an end to the decades-long insurgency. Together, let us build peaceful, resilient and progressive communities that are inhospitable to any threat group that undermine our efforts for nation building,” said Lt.Col. Javines.

Kalinaw News: 4IDs ‘no let-up’ combat operations seize 7 firearms, thwart NPA’s planned atrocities

Posted to Kalinaw News (Dec 31, 2021): 4IDs ‘no let-up’ combat operations seize 7 firearms, thwart NPA’s planned atrocities



CAMP EVANGELISTA, Cagayan de Oro City – The 4th Infantry (Diamond) Division’s ‘no let-up’ combat operations have resulted in the successful surrender of a CPP-NPA Terrorist’s (CNT’s) ordnance staff and seizure of seven (7) firearms in Caraga region.

A 10-minute firefight on Sunday, December 26, transpired between the troops of 26th Infantry Battalion (26IB) led by LtCol Reynald Romel A Goce, Commanding Officer of 26IB and under the operational control of 403rd Infantry Brigade (403Bde) led by BGen Ferdinand T Barandon against more or less fifteen (15) CNTs at Sitio Mentakee, Brgy Binicalan, San Luis, Agusa del Sur resulting in the seizure of NPA’s war materiel composed of one (1) M16 Rifle, one (1) M79 Grenade Launcher, one (1) Cal 45 pistol and one (1) Cal 38 revolver as well as different caliber of magazines and ammunitions to include personal belongings.

On Friday morning, December 24, troops of 30IB led by LtCol Ryan Charles G Callanta under the operational control of 901Bde led by BGen George Banzon also seized two (2) M16 Rifles, two (2) magazines and forty four (44) rounds of M16 Rifle ammunitions at the boundary of Brgy Camboayon, Bacuag and Brgy Mahanub, Gigaquit, both in Surigao del Norte. Said operation is in response to the revelation of a former rebel regarding the high powered firearms left during an encounter in the same area last December 22.

Meanwhile, combined forces of 901Bde’s 65IB and 27IB under 10ID’s 1003rd Brigade, facilitated the successful surrender of terrorist NPA’s ordnance staff operating in Agusan del Sur, identified as Nicholas Doliente alias Kulot/Kula at the 65IB Headquarters in Barangay Poblacion, Sibagat, Agusan del Sur on Wednesday, December 22. He also surrendered war materiel composed of one (1) M16 Rifle with five (5) magazines, 133 rounds of ammunitions and one (1) bandolier.

In a statement, 4ID Acting Commander Brigadier General Oliver T Vesliño said that 4ID’s “no let-up” operations are essential in ensuring the upkeep of peace and security in every community and to ensure that no NPA atrocities will be conducted amidst the holiday season.

“We are not giving the terrorist CPP-NPA-NDF breathing space. We stepped up our operations, forcing them to be always on the run so that they couldn’t execute their hostile plans against government troops as well as to the peace loving communities,” BGen Vesliño stressed.

“We congratulate all troops under the guidance of their Commanders for preventing the atrocities of the terrorist CPP-NPA-NDF. We also laud former NPAs and civilian stakeholders who work hand-in-hand with us for our continued success in order to achieve our goal of putting an end to the over 50-year old communist insurgency. Hence, I implore the remaining terrorist CPP-NPAs to stop the violence. May they be enlightened and unite with us in these challenging times where our fellow Filipinos affected by typhoon Odette needs all the help they can get to survive,” BGen Vesliño added.

PIKIT, North Cotabato – The carnapping syndicate operating here has the backing of Moro extremists who traded shots with lawmen during the recent law enforcement operation in Barangay Gukotan, a police official said Friday.

Brig. Gen. Alexander Tagum, director of Police Regional Office 12 (Soccsksargen), said about 50 heavily armed Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) have been serving as security forces of Joel Manampan, the alleged car theft gang syndicate leader who maintains a warehouse in the village.

“These BIFF traded bullets with our operating troops during the 3 a.m. raid on Wednesday,” Tagum told reporters during a follow-up radio interview with reporters. “While the firefight was ongoing, Manampan escaped.”

The operation in Gukotan left five suspected syndicate supporters dead, three of whom were believed to be BIFF members, and four police officers wounded.

The police recovered 442 motorcycles of different models, high-powered firearms that included M60 machine guns, assault rifles, rocket-propelled grenades, improvised bombs, and bomb-making ingredients from the compound owned and managed by Manampan.

Tagum said after receiving reports about the presence of hundreds of stolen motorcycles, the North Cotabato police conducted intensive intelligence operations for more than a month.

“As soon as reports from civilians were verified, the law enforcement operation was conducted in partnership with the Army’s 602nd Infantry Brigade,” he said.

He noted that the police officers hurt in the encounter were now safe, adding that a manhunt operation against Manampan and his companions is ongoing.

He appealed to all car theft victims in North Cotabato and Maguindanao to check if their vehicles were among those found in Gukotan.

All the recovered motorbikes are now at the North Cotabato police provincial office in Barangay Amas, Kidapawan City.

Army fortifies Sulu community defense vs. Abu Sayyaf

From the Philippine News Agency (Dec 31, 2021): Army fortifies Sulu community defense vs. Abu Sayyaf (By Teofilo Garcia, Jr.)

COMMUNITY DEFENDERS. The first batch of reservists completes basic military training of the Army's 11th Infantry Division (ID) in Jolo, Sulu on Jan. 23, 2021 and forms part of the first-ever Sulu Ready Reserve Battalion to fortify the community defense against the Abu Sayyaf Group bandits in Sulu. The 11ID also completed the training of another batch of reservists in December 2021 and one batch of militiamen in March 2021. (Photo courtesy of the 11ID Public Affairs Unit)

The year 2021 caught sight of the Philippine Army, through the three-year-old 11th Infantry Division (ID), strengthening the community defense against the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) bandits in the province of Sulu.

The community defense build-up started with the activation of the first-ever Sulu Ready Reserve Battalion (SRRB) in January this year.

Initially, the members of the SRRB comprised 195 Tausugs, who have graduated on January 23 from a 45-day Basic Citizen Military Training (BCMT) conducted by the Philippine Army Reserve Command.

The graduates, which comprised the BCMT Class 01-20, came from different areas of Patikul, Sulu.

The BCMT is an entry-level training course undertaken by Filipino citizens, who intend to enlist in the reserve force of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).

Maj. Gen. William Gonzales, 11ID commander, said the activation of the SRRB was based on guidance from Department of National Defense (DND) Sec. Delfin Lorenzana who wanted to bolster security in the province.

“The residents of Patikul are very lucky to be the first reservist batch in Sulu,” said Sulu Gov. Abdusakur Tan, who is a reservist with a rank of major.

The duties and responsibilities of the reservists are to assist in disaster relief and rescue operations, socio-economic development, and operations of critical utilities of affiliated reserve units; and as a base expansion of regular force in the event of war, rebellion, or natural emergencies.

In March, the 11ID recruited and trained some 110 Tausug natives to join the Citizen Armed Force Geographical Unit (CAFGU) to serve as part of the community defense forces.

Gonzales said that those recruited were natural-born Filipinos in Sulu, 18 to 48 years old, with no pending case and physically fit to perform duty.

Lt. Col. Jooney Jay Businos, 2nd Special Forces Battalion commander, who headed the recruitment, said the 110 CAFGU recruits have undergone screening to include neuropsychological and other medical tests.

They were trained at the headquarters of the 2nd Special Forces Battalion in Barangay Bilaan, Talipao, Sulu.

Gonzales said they recruited Tausugs to join the CAFGU since the Task Force for Ending Local Armed Conflict (TF-ELAC) is returning internally displaced people (IDP) to their hometowns.

The TF-ELAC is the Sulu’s version of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC).

“Whenever we implement the Balik Barangay Program, local chiefs request the establishment of patrol bases to prevent members of the ASG from retaliating against civilians who support the government forces in eradicating terrorism,” Gonzales said.

The CAFGU was created in 1987 through Executive Order No. 264 to complement the operations of regular military forces.

The latest addition to the SRRB is a group composed of 300 Tausug tribe members who completed on December 16 their 45-day BCMT conducted by the 906th Community Defense Center of the Army Reserve Command.

They belong to the BCMT Class 02-2021 that included the youth sector, militiamen, and other individuals coming from various fields such as education, engineering, and local governance.

“Although this batch is composed of reserve privates, its diverse demographic will add value to what the ready reserve battalion can do to advance our campaign for peace here in the province,” Gonzales said.

“Our youth will be less vulnerable to the recruitment of terror groups. Instead, they will be ambassadors of peace,” he added.

One of the graduates is 31-year-old Sharryhama Serajani, who holds a nursing degree and works at the Jolo municipal government.

Serajani recalled that during her childhood days, she did not understand the works of a soldier.

“(However), after I completed the training, I understood the purpose why there are soldiers assigned in our place,” Serajani said citing she like to be part of the changes and development in Sulu as a reservist.

Gonzales said the reservists will become part of the Army's future structure, a regular force supported by a strong reservist force.

The reservists have a crucial role in stabilizing Sulu's socio-economic situation aside from providing additional manpower to the Philippine Army in dealing with external and territorial threats, according to Gonzales.

“They can help in strengthening education, employment, order, and safety,” he added.

He said the SRRB is now composed of 495 talented individuals that included 195 Tausugs who graduated on January 23 and the 300 individuals, also Tausugs, who completed training on December 16.

Lt. Col. Andres Soriano, director of the 906th Community Defense Center, said they are planning to train around 600 individuals to complete the SRRB force.

President Rodrigo Duterte, accompanied by Lorenzana, led the activation of the 11ID on December 17, 2018 at Kuta Heneral Teodulfo Bautista, the headquarters of Joint Task Force (JTF) - Sulu in Barangay Bus-Bus, Jolo, Sulu.

Composed of units actively working under JTF-Sulu, the various corps were formed into the new 11ID dedicated to fighting the Islamic State for Iraq and Syria - affiliated terrorist groups in the province.

The Philippine Navy's missile frigate BRP Antonio Luna (FF-151) rescued 35 fishermen stranded in Manamoc Island, Palawan after their fishing boat capsized due to bad weather.

In a statement Thursday night, Naval Forces West acting public affairs office chief, Lt. Commander Ronne Riel B. Grimpola, identified the ill-fated fishing boat as the F/B Prince Edge 1 that capsized in the vicinity of Cauayan Island, Cuyo, Palawan on December 27.

The craft was skippered by Ronnie Vargas with a 34-member crew.

Grimpola added that they became aware of the group's plight after a concerned boat captain reported the incident to the Maritime Situational Awareness Center-W (MSACW).

"Consequently, the group safely landed on Manamoc Island, part of Cuyo, Palawan. MSAC-W immediately informed Naval Forces West about the incident and requested immediate assistance and rescue operations," Grimpola said.

He added that BRP Antonio Luna, which was on a maritime patrol mission, was tasked to rescue the crew and bring them to their hometown of San Jose, Mindoro.

"At present, all 35 personnel are being taken care of and currently undergoing medical check-up by medical personnel aboard BRP Antonio Luna. Further, personnel of FF-151 also provided food and clean clothing to all the crew of the ill-fated fishing boat," he said.

He added that Naval Forces West will continuously conduct disaster relief and rescue operations, provide assistance in support of the joint efforts in mitigating the after-effects of Typhoon Odette in the province of Palawan, while readily deploying its naval assets to assist and rescue distressed fishermen at sea.

2021 'banner year' for law enforcement: PNP

From the Philippine News Agency (Dec 31, 2021): 2021 'banner year' for law enforcement: PNP (By Christopher Lloyd Caliwan)

PNP chief, Gen. Dionardo Carlos (File photo)

The Philippine National Police (PNP) on Friday said 2021 is a banner year for law enforcement as many milestones in the campaign against illegal drugs and terrorism were achieved amid the coronavirus pandemic.

"Aggressive police operations and other police interventions led to the arrest of lawless elements that somehow reduced the number of crimes that they may have committed," PNP Chief Gen. Dionardo Carlos said in a statement.

Carlos, a member of the Philippine Military Academy “Maringal” Class of 1988, assumed command of the PNP in November, replacing Gen. Guillermo Eleazar.

"Naniniwala ako na sa taong ito ay naging mas masigasig ang ating mga pulis sa pagsasagawa ng operasyon kontra iligal na droga, krimen at terorismo at patuloy pa rin ang aming pagbibigay na serbisyo publiko at pagpapanatili ng kapayapaan sa susunod na taon at nalalapit na eleksyon (I believe that this year our police have become more diligent in conducting operations against illegal drugs, crime and terrorism and we will continue to provide public service and keep the peace in next year and the upcoming elections)," Carlos added.

Based on the PNP operational accomplishments from January to November 2021 recorded by the PNP Directorate for Operations showed police operations against illegal drugs for this year resulted in the arrest of 66,278 drug personalities and the confiscation of illegal drugs with an estimated Dangerous Drug Board (DDB) value of more than PHP4.65 billion, additionally, in joint operations with PDEA, more than PHP8.5 billion.

Those arrested were Chinese personalities Gao Manzhu; Hong Jianshe; Eddie Tan; and Xu Youhua on September 27 in Zambales and confiscation of PHP3.4 billion worth of shabu.

On the operation against wanted persons, the manhunt for the country’s Top Most Wanted Persons (TMWPs) resulted in the arrest of 95 personalities, four were killed and two surrendered during police operations.

Among the notable accomplishments in this campaign was the arrest of Monteson Ignacio Jr. who is wanted for homicide, frustrated murder, murder, and attempted carnapping last June 17. He has a PHP550,000 reward for his capture.

The PNP also served warrants of arrest to 69,077 other wanted persons, 405 of whom had surrendered and 122 died during police operations.

In a campaign against terrorism, the PNP figured in 96 government-initiated encounters that resulted in the neutralization of 5,487 personalities identified with terrorist groups while operatives confiscated 1,148 small arms and light weapons (SALW).

Among the notable accomplishments in this campaign were arrested Ma. Salome Crisostomo-Ujano on November 14, Ma. Loida Magpatoc on September 15, and Gavino Manaig Panganiban a.k.a. Nori/Rato/Momoy on August 6.

Ujano has an outstanding warrant of arrest for rebellion, Magpatoc has a standing warrant of arrest for murder, while Panganiban for murder and rebellion. The said rebels have a bounty of PHP5 million, PHP5.3 million, and PHP4.5 million, respectively, for their arrest.

Meanwhile, the relentless efforts to account for loose firearms resulted in the confiscation, recovery, and surrender of 25,141 SALW that resulted in the arrest of 10,503 suspects and the filing of 4,875 criminal cases in courts for violations of Republic Act No.10591.

Carlos added that the PNP is constantly striving to keep its police force highly capable, effective, and credible in order to serve every Filipino and keep our country peaceful, secure, free of illegal drugs and corruption.

The Philippines has made steady progress this year in the upgrade of military equipment and skills of the personnel tasked to operate it, Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said Friday.

"As we look back to the past year, it is likewise heartening to note that the Department continues its steady progress towards achieving the goals we set in 2016. We have not only continued to upgrade the equipment of the Armed Forces and the other Bureaus but also developed and raised their skills, expertise, and knowledge," Lorenzana said in a message to reporters.

Aside from this, Lorenzana said the defense and security sectors have greatly improved the security of the country with the whole of nation approach to solving the insurgency and other threat groups.

"The future we are facing will not be easy but with our concerted efforts we can overcome whatever challenges come our way," he said.

As the country ushers in a new year, Lorenzana expressed his thanks to the men and women of the DND for their hard work and dedication.

"I would also like to thank our citizens for their continued support for the DND and the AFP (Armed Forces of the Philippines) We assure our people of our commitment to serving them. Lastly, I wish everyone good health and prosperity in the coming year," he added.

Lorenzana also urged Filipinos to thank God for all blessings received by the country in 2021, including the hardships that further strengthened and toughened them.

This includes the country's gradual gain and the victory against the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic, which the DND chief hopes to end in 2022.

Insurgency-free PH sparks party-list group’s Congress bid

From the Philippine News Agency (Dec 31, 2021): Insurgency-free PH sparks party-list group’s Congress bid (By Lade Jean Kabagani)

Sentrong Alyansa ng mga Mamamayan para sa Bayan (SAMBAYANAN)

A group composed of former members of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (CPP-NPA) said no one is funding the organization.

The Abante Sentrong Alyansa ng mga Mamamayan para sa Bayan (SAMBAYANAN) denied the accusations of active members of CPP-NPA and its legal front organizations that alleged they are being funded by the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) to enter the party-list system.

The groups added that the insurgency task force's 2022 budget for Barangay Development Program will be "used for the delivery of necessary services to long-neglected communities", not for Sambayanan's gain.

The Commission on Elections (Comelec) have twice denied Sambayanan’s petition to seek a seat in Congress.

Abante Sambayanan, an alternative people's alliance consisting of former high-ranking officials of the CPP-NPA-National Democratic Front (NDF) and led by first nominee Jeffrey “Ka Eric” Celiz, obtained a temporary restraining order against Comelec, according to the group’s Facebook post on Wednesday.

The Supreme Court asked the Comelec to temporarily refrain from implementing its October 5 orders, which rejected the registration of Abante Sambayanan and Ayuda sa May Kapansanan and its resolution dated December 1 denying the two groups’ motions for reconsideration.

So far, 166 groups are confirmed as official party-list candidates for the May 9, 2022 polls.

"Prinsipyo at paninindigan lamang ang puhunan ng Sambayanan. Nais naming maglingkod sa mamamayan sa paraang hindi marahas, sa paraang hindi mapanlinlang o mapangmalupit (The Sambayanan is investing on principle and commitment. We want to serve the people in a non-violent way, which is not deceptive and cruel)," the group statement read.

They admit feeling dejected over Comelec’s decision to reject them anew.

"Para na ring sinasabi nila (Comelec) na mali na kami ay nakipagtulungan sa gobyerno, na maling kami ay nagbalik-loob (The Comelec seems to be telling us it was a wrong decision to return to the fold of the law and we should not cooperate with the government)," it added.

Despite the Comelec's move, Abante Sambayanan said it will will continue its advocacies against communist insurgency and the "senseless armed revolution."

"Buo ang paninindigan ng Sambayanan, may party-list man o wala, may NTF-ELCAC man o wala, na maglingkod sa sambayanang Pilipino, para sa ating pinapangarap na mapayapa, masagana at maunlad na bansa (Sambayanan remains committed, with or without a party-list, with or without NTF-ELCAC, to serve the Filipino people, for our dream of a peaceful, prosperous, and developed country)," the group said.

Prior to its push to join the party-list system, the Abante Sambayanan has been supporting the government's whole-of-nation approach to end 52 years of atrocities, violence, and recruitment of minors by the CPP-NPA-NDF and its front organizations.

The CPP-NPA is listed as a terrorist organization by the United States, European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the Philippines.

The Anti-Terrorism Council also formally designated the NDF as a terrorist organization on June 23, 2021, citing it as “an integral and separate part” of the CPP-NPA that was created in April 1973.

On Dec. 4, 2018, the NTF-ELCAC was created by virtue of Executive Order 70, tasked to “provide an efficient mechanism and structure for the implementation of the whole-of-nation approach to aid in the realization of collective aspirations for inclusive and sustainable peace.”

'Ex-NPA' party-list group secures SC relief vs Comelec

From ABS-CBN (Dec 30, 2021): 'Ex-NPA' party-list group secures SC relief vs Comelec (Jauhn Etienne Villaruel)

Abante Sambayan, a party-list group claiming to represent former communist rebels, has secured from the Supreme Court a TRO against the Comelec. Jonathan Cellona and Jauhn Etienne Villaruel, ABS-CBN News/File

A controversial party-list group rejected with finality by the Commission on Elections (Comelec) was granted relief by the Supreme Court (SC) Wednesday, increasing its chances of being included in the ballot printing pending the resolution of its appeal.

2 more party-lists granted SC relief vs Comelec rejection

Abante Sambayan, a party-list group claiming to represent former communist rebels, secured a temporary restraining order (TRO) against the Comelec, which junked their application for registration, effectively disqualifying them from the Halalan 2022 race.

In a tweet, the SC confirmed granting TRO vs the poll body in favor of Abante Sambayanan. A separate

TRO was also granted to another rejected party-list group Ayuda Sa May Kapansanan, Inc.

The SC asked Comelec to comment on the petitions filed by the 2 party-list groups within 10 days.

Aside from the 2, the SC has granted TROs in favor of 7 rejected party-list groups.

Apat-Dapat
Uma Ilonggo
Alliance for Resilience, Sustainability and Empowerment (ARISE)
Igorot Warriors
Ang Tinig ng Seniors
Lingkud Bayanihan Party
Mindanao Indigenous Peoples Conference for Peace and Development

In a statement, Abante Sambayanan first nominee Jeffrey "Ka Eric" Celiz, who claims to be a former New People's Army (NPA) member, lauded the SC's TRO.

"Abante Sambayanan is going to join now the 2022 party-list elections and will keep the flame of our advocacy alive and burning... as we defeat and reject resoundingly the CPP-NPA-NDF kamatayan party-list groups," Celiz said, referring to the Makabayan bloc.

The Communist Party of the Philippines, (CPP), the political arm of NPA, has denied knowing Celiz, whom they claimed to be a "paid hack" the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC).

The Comelec earlier admitted it has yet to determine the legal effects of the SC's TROs in favor of the rejected party-list groups.

Army discovers abandoned NPA camp in Iloilo

From the Manila Bulletin (December 30, 2021): Army discovers abandoned NPA camp in Iloilo (By Tara Yap)

The Philippine Army has discovered an abandoned camp of the communist New People’s Army (NPA) in Leon town, Iloilo province.

This was after soldiers of the 61st Infantry Battalion (61 IB) and 82nd Infantry Battalion (82 IB) came across the abandoned camp in Bucari village this week when they were going out to confirm tips from local residents of the presence of NPA rebels.

Lieutenant Colonel Harold Garcia, 61 IB commander, disclosed that the camp was about 150 square meters with 15 makeshift tents.

“It can accommodate about 35 people,” said Garcia.

Authorities believed that the NPA camp had been abandoned by the Sibat Platoon of the NPA’s Southern Front Committee.

Government soldiers also recovered two M-16 rifles and other ammunition.

The army lauded local residents for giving information.

“We are very thankful to the concerned civilians. We know our people were already tired of the troubles and exploitations made by these terrorists threatening our community,” expressed Garcia.

“As we end this year, we double our efforts to secure our people,” added Garcia.

CPP/NDF-EV: On CPP anniversary, AFP shells “cleared” barangays in Northern Samar

Propaganda statement posted to the PRWC Newsroom (Dec 30, 2021): On CPP anniversary, AFP shells “cleared” barangays in Northern Samar

NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC FRONT OF THE PHILIPPINES

NDF-EASTERN VISAYAS

The National Democratic Front-Eastern Visayas today condemned the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) for conducting an early-morning shelling of farmlands in Northern Samar, to terrorize peasant communities in three barangays it had previously declared as “cleared” of influence of the revolutionary movement.

“While the AFP repeatedly alleges these barangays are ‘cleared’ of influence of the New People’s Army, hindi naman nila tinatantanan ang mga mamamayan dito. These fascist monsters are the ones belying their own declarations and proving themselves stupid,” the NDF-EV said.

Citing reports from the provincial command of the New People’s Army (NPA), the NDF-EV said that at past 1 o’clock in the early morning December 26, while most people were asleep after celebrating Christmas Day, the AFP fired at least four rounds of 105mm howitzer towards farmlands at the boundary of Barangays San Miguel, Las Navas, and Osang and Hinagonoyan, Catubig. San Miguel and Osang are among the six barangays in Eastern Visayas declared “cleared” by the AFP.

“The AFP wantonly fired at the farmlands even though no armed encounters between the AFP and the NPA occurred immediately prior. It shows that the shelling did not serve to hit any targeted NPA unit, but to sow terror among the peasant masses in the Catubig-Las Navas valley right on the occasion of the anniversary of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP). This is in line with the Duterte regime’s standing policy of using brutal fascist state terrorism to attempt to snuff out the people’s determination to wage all forms of struggle, including armed revolution,” the NDF-EV said.

The December 26 terror shelling was the third aerial attack by the AFP in the Catubig-Las Navas farmlands since September 16. The first was also an early-morning flurry of bombs and cannon fire which lasted until the afternoon, while the second was an indiscriminate shelling spree after a successful NPA harassment operation last November. Residents from at least 10 barangays were terrorized and intimidated from attending to their farms.

The NDF-EV added, “the AFP insists that San Miguel and Osang are ‘cleared’ barangays, but they continue camping in these barrios, conducting combat-intelligence-psywar operations, and firing at the peasants’ farmlands. These are attacks that directly inflict damage not at the NPA but the masses. The AFP is clearly aware whom they aiming their guns at.”

The terror shelling in Catubig-Las Navas was only one of the slew of terrorist attacks of elements of the AFP in Northern Samar on the occasion of the CPP anniversary. Residents from San Miguel were also hoodwinked by soldiers into attending a “peace rally.” Fascist state troops have also been camping in the barangay health center and day care center, violating international humanitarian law and earning the ire of residents who complain that they cannot use these facilities.

Prior to the CPP anniversary, barangay officials in Osang were forced to issue a resolution giving permission to fascist state troops to camp inside the barrio, also in violation of international humanitarian law. “They are forcing the people to support the fascist troops’ operations, even if they are notorious rights violators and are responsible for many atrocities in their communities.

The NDF-EV called on the people to continually expose and oppose the AFP’s fascist state terrorism. “They must denounce every terrorist attack, every shelling and bombing, by the fascist AFP against the people. They must wage all forms of struggle to resist militarization in their communities and drive out these fascist troops who are causing them hardship and wantonly violating their rights.”

CPP/NDF-EV: Northern Samar residents hoodwinked into attending AFP-led “peace rallies” on CPP anniversary

Propaganda statement posted to the PRWC Newsroom (Dec 30, 2021): Northern Samar residents hoodwinked into attending AFP-led “peace rallies” on CPP anniversary

NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC FRONT OF THE PHILIPPINES

NDF-EASTERN VISAYAS

December 30, 2021

The National Democratic Front-Eastern Visayas (NDF-EV) condemned the Armed Forces of the Philippines for hoodwinking residents in Northern Samar into attending anti-communist “peace rallies” on the 53rd anniversary of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP).

Based on reports it received from the provincial command of the New People’s Army, it said that residents from Brgy. San Miguel, Las Navas did not know that the December 26 activity that their barangay officials told them to attend would be a “peace rally” condemning the CPP-NPA-NDF.

The “rallyists” were actually 4Ps beneficiaries, recipients of another kind of government assistance program, senior citizens, and barangay officials coerced by the military to fool their fellow barrio folk into attending the AFP-instigated event.

A day prior, soldiers through barangay officials announced to residents that there would be an activity in the barrio the next day. They have been camping in the barangay since November, where they occupied the local high school, health center and day care center.

On the day of the CPP anniversary, barangay officials again called on the villagers to attend the activity to be held at 11 o’clock in the morning. To come up with warm bodies for the fascist military, they had to tell the residents the event would not begin if the attendees were too few.

The “rallyists” were then made to hold up ready-made placards written with anti-communist slogans, calls condemning the CPP-NPA, and red-tagged progressive party-lists. Soldiers also made everyone in the barrio to sign a logbook.

The NDF-EV said that the fake “peace rally” in San Miguel is one of the many public relations stunts shamelessly staged by the AFP last December 26 to come up with the bogus figure of 3,000 attendees of anti-communist gatherings several towns throughout Northern Samar.

“These fake ‘peace rallies’ are a desperate attempt by the AFP to disparage the CPP on the occasion of its anniversary. Unfortunately for them, these stunts only prove their desperation to veil the fact that their all-out war and their fascist state terrorism are headed for failure. As their lies become more brazen and their abuses more brutal, all the more that the masses hate them and become more eager to resist militarization and hold them accountable for their crimes.”

Since fascist state troops occupied San Miguel in November, they have conducted house-to-house interrogations, camped in civilian facilities, and forced barangay officials to sign a resolution owning responsibility for anything that may happen to them while in the barrio, such as an armed encounter against the NPA.

In nearby Brgy. Osang, Catubig, fascist state troops also coerced barangay officials to sign a similar resolution which additionally declares that they give outright permission to the soldiers to camp inside the barrio. Youth residents and barangay officials were also forced to buy and facilitate the soldiers’ food supply. Villagers were also made to do their laundry.

In both barrios, fascist state troops continue to go in and out, interrogating residents, coercing them to participate in their operations, and forcing them to perform manual labor in violation of international humanitarian law.

At least three cases of terror bombing and shelling were also carried out in surrounding farmlands since September.

The NDF-EV added, “The AFP has carried out these attacks on San Miguel and Osang even though both have been declared “cleared” of NPA influence since 2020. These ‘cleared’ declarations are as ludicrous and impossible as their deadline of defeating the revolutionary movment in Eastern Visayas by 2022.

“The AFP’s fake peace rallies and black propaganda against the CPP-NPA-NDF can never completely shroud their lies, brutality and fascist terrorism. The AFP has proven once again that it is not an army of patriots who defend the people from foreign invaders, but is an army of invaders and ruthless fascists who deceive and occupy the people.

“Most importantly, they can never snuff out the determination of the people of Northern Samar and of Eastern Visayas to wage all forms of struggle, especially armed struggle, to frustrate their all-out war and carry forward the people’s war that will end the lying, cheating, mercenary and fascist AFP.”

CAGAYAN PROVINCIAL COMMITTEE

CAGAYAN VALLEY REGIONAL COMMITTEE

COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE PHILIPPINES

December 30, 2021

Opisyal na pahayag ng Komiteng Probinsya ng Cagayan sa ika-53 Anibersaryo ng Pagkakatatag ng Partido Komunista ng Pilipinas

Ipinapaabot ng Komiteng Probinsya ng Cagayan ang taas-kamaong pagbati sa lahat ng kadre at kasapi ng PKP sa lalawigan, sa mga Pulang kumander at mandirigma ng Henry Abraham Command at Danilo Ben Command, sa lahat ng mga rebolusyonaryong pwersa at sa lahat ng mga nagsusulong ng pambansang kalayaan at demokrasya sa pagdiriwang ng ika-53 anibersaryo ng Partido Komunista ng Pilipinas.

Sa okasyong ito, pinakamataas na pagpupugay at parangal ang iginagawad sa lahat ng mga martir at bayani ng rebolusyong Pilipino na nag-alay ng buhay upang itaguyod at ipagtagumpay ang demokratikong rebolusyong bayan. Nakatanghal ang mga sandata ng BHB-Cagayan upang pagpugayan ang pitong martir ng Dungeg na nasawi sa walang-patumanggang airstrike ng pasistang 501st IBde noong September 21. Inaalala sina Leo “Ka Mio” Lucas, kadre ng Komiteng Probinsya ng Cagayan at matapang na kumander ng Henry Abraham Command kasama sina Carmelita “Ka Jodel” Sibayan, Clinton “Ka Armas” Agbulig, Geian Carlo “Ka Marlon” Espina, Michael “Ka Mareg” Edillo, Jaynard “Ka Jade” dela Cruz at Jerald “Ka Harold” Balmonte. Sinasaluduhan din sina Renato “Ka Andong” Busania at Rosalino “Ka Yuni” Canlubas, magiting na kumander ng Fortunato Camus Command – NPA Cagayan Valley na nagsakripisyo ng kanilang buhay hanggang sa huling hininga. Kung hindi dahil sa kanilang mga pagsisikap at sigasig sa paglulunsad ng armadong pakikibaka, hindi mararating ang ganitong yugto ng pagsulong sa probinsya at sa buong rehiyon.

Sa kabila ng walang-puknat na combat operations lalo na West Cagayan at okupasyon sa mga barangay hall at eskwelahan ng mga tropa ng AFP sa ilalim ng 501st IBde PA, bigo ito sa paghadlang at pagwasak sa rebolusyon sa buong probinsya. Bagkus, ibayo pa itong umabante at nagkamit ng mga tagumpay.

Sinalubong ng Partido ang 2021 sa pamamagitan ng pagpapatatag at pagpapataas ng pang-ideolohiyang kamulatan ng mga kadre ng mga namumunong komite. Inarmasan ng malalim na kaalaman at paggagap sa teorya ng Marxismo-Leninismo-Maoismo ang mga kadre ng larangan at seksyon sa inilunsad na dalawang bats ng Abanteng Kurso ng Partido (AKP). Naisakatuparan ito sa gitna ng FMO ng kaaway sa kanilang December offensive noong nakaraang taon. Maging ang mga batayang yunit ng Partido sa lokalidad at sa hukbo ay tuluy-tuloy na nag-aral ng mga batayang prinsipyo ng MLM at kung paano ito ilalapat sa konkretong kalagayan ng lipunang Pilipino. Matagumpay na nakapaglunsad ng ilang bats ng Batayang Kurso ng Partido (BKP) sa laylayan ng mga baryo na hindi naaamoy ng kaaway. Nagluwal ito ng mga bagong aktibista at kadre na katuwang sa pamumuno at pagsusulong ng mga rebolusyonaryong tungkulin.

Hindi rin binitawan ang kampanyang pasampa sa mga kabataang estudyante at mga magsasaka. Agad silang binigyan ng pagsasanay sa Batayang Kursong Pulitiko-Militar (BKPM) at isinama sa mga taktikal na opensiba. Serye ng operasyong isnayp at harrass sa mga detatsment at mga tropa ng RCSP ang naikasa ng mga larangan. Naparusahan din ang mga galamay ng MBLT10 at 17th IBPA.

Totoong nagkaroon ng ilang depensiba at pinsala ang ating hanay ngunit pansamantala lamang ang mga ito. Mahusay na nagamit ang konsentrasyon, dispersal at paglipat upang iwasan ang malalaking kubkob ng kaaway. Sa desperasyon nilang sukulin at durugin ang NPA sa Cagayan, minadaling itrinansporma ang 77th Cadre Battalion ng Cafgu Active Auxillary (CAA) tungong isang regular na maneuver battalion. Hinugot din ang 98th IBPA mula Isabela tungong Cagayan. Muli ring ibinalik ang 51st IB na notoryus bilang “peste first” na naghatid ng matinding takot at ligalig sa masa noong Martial Law ni Marcos. Sa kabilang panig, matinding kahihiyan naman sa kaaway ang pagbomba nito sa kanyang sariling tropa na nagresulta sa pagkamatay ng di bababa sa 40 noong September 28.

Patuloy rin ang pagsisikap ng masa na isulong ang kanilang mga demokratikong karapatan sa gitna ng militaristang lockdown. Sa probinsya, aktibong nakalahok ang mga magsasaka sa mga online forum at fact-finding mission hinggil sa mga biktima ng peke-pwersadong pagpapasurender. Tuluy-tuloy rin ang mga antas baryong pagkilos laban sa pangangamkam ng lupa. Nagbukas din ng mga komunal ang mga grupo ng magsasaka bilang pangunahing sandigan sa kawalang ayudang maaasahan sa panahon ng pandemya.

Sa kabila ng pasistang atake at panunupil, nagawa pa ring magpalakas at magpalawak ng Partido sa iba’t-ibang antas. Matagumpay na nakapamuno at nakagabay ang mga Komiteng Larangan sa mga distritong kinikilusan. Lumaki rin ang kasapian ng Partido sa mga baryong saklaw at nakapabuo ng mga bago pang sangay.

Sa loob ng 53 taong pag-ugat sa masa, matayog na, nagkaroon na ng mga sanga, at namunga na ang rebolusyon sa buong Cayagan. Hindi na maaapula ang naglalagablab na pagbabalikwas ng mga Cagayano sa pamumuno ng PKP kasama ang BHB.

Sa 2022, asahang higit pang magpupunyagi at susulong ang kilusan kasabay ng pagbagsak ng pasistang rehimen. Dapat mas aktibo at sustinido ang paglulunsad ng tatlong-antas ng kurso ng Partido sa hukbo at sa masa. Mapagpasyang buuin at paganahin ang mga makinarya ng instruksyon sa lokalidad nang hindi lang iniaasa sa hukbo ang gawaing edukasyon. Dapat pursigidong mag-aral at magsuri ang lahat ng mga kasapi ng Partido batay sa materyalistang pananaw, proletaryong paninindigan at diyalektikong pamamaraan sa panahong umiigting ang saywar at disimpormasyon ng kaaway. Maksimisahin ang social media para sa pagpapalaganap ng Ang Bayan, Baringkuas at ibang Marxista-Leninista at pambansa-demokratikong babasahin upang maabot ang malawak na bilang ng mamamayan. Regular na maglunsad ng pagpuna at pagpuna-sa-sarili nang maagap na maituwid ang mga kahinaan at pagkakamali. Tasahin at lagumin ang mga karanasan at gawain upang mahalawan ng aral ang bawat pagkilos at makapagtamo pa ng mas maunlad na antas ng teorya at praktika. Mapagpasyang harapin ang mga paglalagom sa mga kampanyang militar at kampanyang masa, kapwa yaong mga nagmateryalisa at hindi. Masusing pag-aralan ang mga bara sa paglulunsad ng mga ito.

Mapangahas na magrekluta ng libu-libong kasapi ng Partido nang may mahigpit na pagtangan sa mga kwalipikasyon. Magpaunlad ng daan-daang mga kadreng may kakayahang mamuno at tumangan ng iba’t-ibang tungkulin sa iba’t-ibang antas. Mabilis na magpanday ng mga second-liner na pleksible at handang gumampan ng mga responsibilidad. Isabuhay ang demokratikong sentralismo at kolektibong paggawa. Maging mapagmatyag sa mga tendensya ng burukratismo at ultrademokrasya na sisira sa muog na pagkakaisa ng organisasyon.

Matalinong pag-isipan ang mga bagong pamamaraan at praktika sa mabilis na pagpapasampa ng mga kabataang-estudyante at magsasaka. Aktibong pakilusin ang mga sangay ng partido sa lokalidad upang tuluy-tuloy na magtarget at magpasampa sa hukbo. Maging mapangahas at mapagpasya sa paglalawak ng base habang pinanghahawakan ang pagpapalalim at pagkokonsolida sa base. Pagkunutan ng noo kung paano sikretong maaabot ang matataong lugar at gilid ng haywey. Pagsikapang makapagbuo ng dagdag na mga platun na mag-aanak ng nagtatalikurang larangang gerilya. Buuin at armasan ang kumpa-kumpanyang milisyang bayan at mga yunit depensa sa baryo at aktibo silang palahukin sa mga taktikal na opensiba. Pasiglahin ang mga taktikal na opensiba batay sa aktwal na kakayahan. Piliin ang mga malalambot at nahihiwalay na target militar kaysa magpatali sa mga matitigas at malalakas na target na gugugol pa ng maraming rekisitos bago maikasa.

Samantalahin ang panahon ng eleksyon upang maabot ang mas malawak na masa at maigiit ang mga demokratikong karapatan sa lupa, trabaho, edukasyon at ayuda sa gitna ng pandemya. Sunggaban ang panahong ito upang ilunsad ang mga antipyudal, antipasista at anti-impertalistang pakikibakang masa. Ilantad ang eleksyon bilang maduming sugal at pag-aagawan ng kapangyarihan ng naghaharing-uri habang isinusulong ang armadong pakikibaka bilang pangunahing porma ng pakikibaka. Maging matatag sa pagpapatupad ng mga patakaran at alituntunin sa ilalim ng Demokratikong Gobyernong Bayan hinggil sa pakikitungo sa mga kandidatong tatakbo at mangangampanya sa mga base at sonang gerilya. Huwag mag-atubiling parusahan ang sinumang sagadsaring pulitiko na tahasang lalabag sa mga patakaran, magbabalak at aktwal na magkakanulo at magpapahamak sa mamamayan sa panahon ng eleksyon.

Hanggat nandyan ang pamalagiang krisis na inianak ng malakolonyal at malapyudal na lipunan, laging mataba ang lupa para sa pagsulong ng digmang bayan. Sabik na sa tunay na pagbabagong panlipunan ang mga Cagayanong malaon nang naghihikahos. Maliwanag sa kanila na makakamit lamang ito sa ganap na pananagumpay ng demokratikong rebolusyong bayan na may sosyalistang perspektiba.###

Kalinaw News: 302 new recruits to include former rebels took oath for military training in 4ID

Posted to Kalinaw News (Dec 30, 2021): 302 new recruits to include former rebels took oath for military training in 4ID



CAMP EVANGELISTA, Cagayan de Oro City – 302 new recruits to include former rebels (FRs) took their oath for military training during the Opening Ceremony of Candidate Soldier Course (CSC) Class 690 and 691 – 2021 held at 4th Infantry (Diamond) Division, on Sunday, December 26.

Brigadier General Oliver T Vesliño, the Acting Commander of 4ID, officially opened the said training and presided the oath taking of 302 young individuals composed of 172 persons with special skills; 64 CAFGU members; 48 Indigenous People (IP) members; 14 persons for Reinstatement and four (4) former Cadets of Philippine Military Academy (PMA). They will undergo Basic Military Training (BMT) and Infantry Orientation Course (IOC) to complete the six (6) months training at 4th Division Training School (DTS) in Malaybalay City, Bukidnon.

Jessie ‘Dodong’ Iligan, alias Darwin, 27-year old and resident of San Miguel, Surigao del Sur is one of the FRs who were chosen to undergo training and took their oath of duty and service to the country. He could not hide his tears in expressing his gratitude to the Philippine Army for giving him new breath of life and soon become a regular member of the AFP to contribute to the peace and development efforts of the government.

“Sa akong mga kanhi nga kauban, ayaw mo pagpakabuta-bungol sa tinood nga sitwasyon. Hatagi ug bili ang inyung mga kaugalingon ug hatagan ninyo ug maayong kaugmanon ang inyung pamilya og atung nasud,” Iligan added. (To my former comrades, don’t turn a blind eye to what’s really the situation, instead value yourself and give your families and our country a better future)

“This is something that every soldier swears and adheres to when entering the military service. You come at a time when the entire nation is rallying all its might to put an end to the local communist armed conflict. The national government is calling upon the entire nation, to work together to attain durable peace and sustainable development. Thus, the moment you become full-pledged soldiers, I want you to immediately get yourselves on board because we need all the help that we can muster,” BGen Vesliño added.

Military targets 2 NPA leaders

From the Mindanao Times (Dec 29, 2021): Military targets 2 NPA leaders (By RHODA GRACE SARON)

THE MILITARY has started running after two most wanted high ranking leaders of the New People’s Army in Menandro Villanueva and Eric Casilao after the death of a top Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) member in Davao de Oro.

In a report, the military identified Villanueva, 69, known as Bok in the movement, as the most wanted CPP-NPA leader in Mindanao as he is the secretary of Komisyon Mindanao (Kommid).

A bounty of P5.6 million has been dangled for the head of Villanueva, who has been facing a murder case.

Casilao, the military added, is the secretary of Southern Mindanao Regional Committee and a P5.4 million bounty has been offered for his head.

In a press conference on Sunday at the 1001st Infantry Brigade headquarters in Maco, Davao de Oro, Major General Ernesto Torres Jr., 10th Infantry Division commander, said it is crucial to neutralize Villanueva because of his role in the movement.

“His pictures were distributed and posters posted around because we still know that he is still there in the operational area,” Torres said.

Brigadier General Jesus Durante III, 1001st Infantry Brigade commander, said his unit suspected that the two have been holed in Mabini, Davao de Oro after an encounter recently.

“So you can now see troops around in that area to include the PNP (Philippine National Police) and we are thinking that we have cornered them in the area,” Durante said as he urged the people to report if they have valuable pieces of information that would result in the neutralization of the two.
