CPP/NPA-Sorsogon: Kahihiyan ang inani ng SAF sa kanilang test mission sa Sorsogon

Hindi kukulangin sa sampung bagong sanay na tauhan ng PNP Special Action Force (SAF) ang napatay nang makasagupa ng isang yunit ng NPA sa Barangay Tulatula Sur, Magallanes, Sorsogon nitong Hulyo 30. Ito ang kahiya-hiyang naging katapusan ng test mission ng mga bagong SAF commando na isang buwang gumalugad sa kabundukan ng Magallanes, Irosin at Bulan.
Mag-aalas-3:00 ng hapon nang walang kamalay-malay na makabuslo ang mga sundalo sa pusisyon ng mga Pulang mandirigma na nagpapahinga noon sa isang gulod. Sinalubong ng putok ng mga nakaalertong gerilya ang mga kalaban at pinasabugan ng command-detonated explosives. Hindi na halos nakapanlaban ang mga elemento ng SAF hanggang makaatras ang mga gerilya mula sa pinaglabanan.
Mga sibilyan naman ang pinagbalingan ng tropa ng SAF bago nila lisanin ang erya kinabukasan. Apat na bahay at isang koprahan na malapit sa pinangyarihan ang sinunog ng mga bagong sanay na pasista. Pinagtataga pa nila ang dalawang tubong daluyan ng suplay ng tubig ng Barangay Cadandanan, Bulan.
Nalantad sa pangyayaring ito kung ano nga ba ang itinuturo sa treyning ng SAF at iba pang armadong pwersa ng reaksyunaryong gubyerno–higit sa anupaman, nagpapakadalubhasa sila sa pamemerwisyo sa mamamayan.
Masaya marahil ang SAF sa iniwan nilang perwisyo. Pero hindi mapasusubalian na umuwing talunan ang mga duwag.

Matagumpay na binigo sa serye ng mga labanan ng mga pwersa ng Apolonio Mendoza Command (AMC-NPA-Quezon) ang atake ng mahigit 100 magkasanib na tropa ng 80th IB-PA at PNP Regional Mobile Force Battalion noong Hulyo 28 hanggang Hulyo 30, 2019. Naganap ang unang labanan noong Hulyo 28 ng hapon sa ganap na 4:30pm na nagresulta sa 1 malubhang sugatan sa panig ng AFP-PNP. Ang ikalawang labanan ay naganap noong Hulyo 29 ng hapon na nagresulta sa isang malubhang sugatan sa AFP-PNP at ang ikatlong labanan ay naganap kinaumagahan ng Hulyo 30 na nagresulta sa isang patay na sundalo. habang wala ni isa mang kaswalti sa hanay ng BHB. Ang mga labanang ito ay inilunsad ng isang iskwad ng NPA-Quezon para idepensa ang sarili laban sa sumasalakay na mahigit na 100 tropa ng AFP-PNP. Ang nasabing pwersa ng NPA na magiting na lumaban sa mas superyor na pwersa ng AFP-PNP ay naglulunsad ng gawaing masa at gawaing produksyon sa Sitio Lagmak, Pagsangahan, Hen. Nakar, Quezon.
Ang nasabing mga tropa ng AFP-PNP ay bahagi ng laking batalyon ng pinagsanib na tropa ng RPMFB-PNP at 80th IB-PA na dalawang linggo nang naglulunsad ng kontra-insurhensyang operasyon para diumanoy durugin ang NPA sa ilalim ng pakana ng rehimeng US-Duterte na National Task Force to End Communist Insurgency at upang pigilin at takutin ang mga magsasaka, mga katutubong Dumagat at Remontado at mamamayan ng Infanta at Hen. Nakar, Quezon na tumututol sa mapanira, kontra-kalikasan at kontra-mamamayang KALIWA DAM na planong itayo sa Barangay Magsaysay, Infanta-Quezon at Barangay Pagsangahan, Hen. Nakar, Quezon. Ang mga pwersang ito ng PNP at 80th IB-PA ang tumatayong protektor ng mga dayuhan kapitalistang Tsino at lokal na malalaking kapitalista na kumikita ng limpak-limpak na tubo sa nasabing proyekto sa kapariwaraan ng mga mamamayan at katutubo sa nasabing lugar.
Ang tagumpay ng aksyon ng NPA na aktibong lumaban para ipagtanggol ang sarili at ipagtanggol ang interes ng mamamayan ay patunay na kakayanin ng rebolusyonaryong kilusan na aktibong labanan at biguin ang layunin ng Rehimeng US-Duterte na durugin ang rebolusyonaryong kilusan sa taong 2019 at hanggang sa mga susunod na panahon.
Patuloy na susuportahan ng mamamayang Pilipino ang CPP-NPA-NDFP habang tuloy-tuloy na kamumuhian nila ang Rehimeng US-Duterte dahilan sa mga kasalanan nito sa mamamayang Pilipino tulad ng tuloy-tuloy at malawakang pagpatay sa mahihirap sa tabing ng kanyang kontra-drogang kampanya, patuloy na pagpapahirap sa mamamayan at mabigat na pasaning buwis dulot ng isinabatas ng TRAIN Law, pagbebenta ng soberanya ng Pilipinas at pagkatuta sa Tsina at sa Imperyalistang US, malaganap na paglabag sa karapatang pantao sa ilalim ng Martial Law sa Mindanao at de facto Martial Law sa Negros, Samar, Bicol at sa buong bansa at tuloy-tuloy na atake sa buhay at kabuhayan ng mga mahihirap, habang lubos na itinataguyod at sinusuportahan ang interes ng mga panginoong maylupa, malalaking burgesyang komprador, mga oligarkiya sa Pilipinas, at mga dayuhang monopolyong kapitalista.
Ang tiyak, mawawala sa kapangyarihan ang rehimeng US-Duterte subalit mananatili ang CPP-NPA-NDFP at patuloy itong maglilingkod ng lubos sa sambayanang Pilipino. Patuloy itong maglulusad ng digmang bayan hanggang sa tagumpay!

CPP: Despite public clamor, peace talks resumption under Duterte is doubtful
Propaganda statement posted to the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) Website (Aug 8, 2019): Despite public clamor, peace talks resumption under Duterte is doubtful
The NDFP, together with its allied revolutionary forces, including the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and the New People’s Army (NPA) maintain the policy of keeping its doors always open to peace negotiations. The NDFP is ever heedful of the clamor of various sectors for the resumption of peace negotiations amid Duterte’s all-out war.
However, the CPP and the NDFP is keenly aware that the prevailing political environment under the Duterte regime is not conducive to resuming peace negotiations. Peace talks cannot be resumed as long as Duterte’s 2017 proclamation terminating peace negotiations remains in place. The situation is made worse by widespread killings by Duterte’s agents in Negros and across the country, continuing incarceration of leading NDFP consultants as well as the recent arrest and detention of two members of the NDFP peace staff.

CPP: To Bato and the rest of his ilk, let us declare: Long live the Filipino student activists and their parents!
Propaganda statement posted to the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) Website (Aug 9, 2019): To Bato and the rest of his ilk, let us declare: Long live the Filipino student activists and their parents!
The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) denounces the anti-activist witch-hunt by Sen. Bato dela Rosa and the PNP against Anakbayan and other student organizations.
Dela Rosa, who a few weeks ago declared “shit happens” after police shot dead a 3-year old girl in a bungled operation, now paints himself as “concerned” with the completely made-up stories of “missing minors.” He has shamelessly exploited private family problems to drive a wedge between some parents and their activist children with the aim of maligning activism and radicalism.
Dela Rosa’s anti-activist attack, however, has backfired, as the so-called missing students have revealed themselves as highly intellectual, articulate and mature individuals as opposed to his caricature of activist “brainwashing.” Dela Rosa has succeeded only in making himself look foolish.
The CPP also denounces PNP chief Albayalde who depicted recruitment of activists as a crime after issuing veiled threats against progressive university professors. He is now calling for a recall of past agreements between universities and the Department of National Defense which prohibits the presence of military and police forces from school campuses.
Albayalde’s proposal will surely be met with firm and united resistance by academic communities of various universities who understand that military and police presence in campuses is incongruent with academic freedom.
Student activism and radicalism is a force for change, progress, social justice and democracy. Student activists of the national democratic movement were among the most resilient in the fight against the Marcos dictatorship in the darkest days of martial law. They were among the prime movers in the uprising against the corrupt Estrada regime. They have consistently fought for the interests of the Filipino people despite the threats to life under the Duterte regime.
Without student activism, as well as activism among workers, peasants and other sectors, the Filipino people would be in a far worse situation than they are now. The toiling masses would be experiencing even worse oppression and exploitation. The Filipino people are deeply grateful for the student activists, as well as to their parents for having nurtured in their hearts a profound love for the people.
Furtheron, by waving the red banner of national democracy, these student activists have kept the flames of Bonifacio, Sakay and Recto’s nationalism burning to inspire the Filipino people in their struggle to assert the country’s sovereignty. The student activists remain among the stalwarts of Filipino patriotism and continue to be at the center of the country’s fight for genuine freedom, especially amid China’s economic and military intrusions and the regime’s treachery and sell-out.
Thus, to Bato and Duterte’s minions, let us declare: “Long live the Filipino student activists and their parents!”

NDF/Jalandoni: NDFP Most Vigorously Condemns Trump Regime for Total Blockade of Venezuela
Luis Jalandoni propaganda statement posted to the National Democratic Front Philippines (NDFP or NDF) Website (Aug 9, 2019): NDFP Most Vigorously Condemns Trump Regime for Total Blockade of Venezuela
The National Democratic Front of the Philippines most vigorously condemns the U.S. Trump regime for its total blockade of Venezuela in flagrant violation of the sovereignty of the Bolivarian Republic and the fundamental rights of the more than 30 million Venezuelans.
The revolutionary Filipino people join the 102 organizations and parties from more than 70 countries who participated in the XXV Sao Paulo Forum in Caracas last July 25-28, 2019, in pledging our firm solidarity with the heroic Venezuelan people, President Nicolas Maduro and the Venezuelan Armed Forces and Militia in resolutely upholding and defending their independence and sovereignty against the US imperialist economic and political aggression.
This latest flagrant criminal act of the Trump regime causes further extreme suffering on the Venezuelan population, causing even more denial of essential food and medicines urgently needed by the people. Under these dire circumstances, President Nicolas Maduro, the Venezuelan people and the Venuzuelan Armed Forces and Militia stand firm. They are inspired by the spirit and inspiring legacy of the Great Liberator Simon Bolivar and Comandante Hugo Chavez Frias. “Chavez vive! La lucha sigue!”
As President Maduro declared to the Venezuelan people, the Venezuelan Armed Forces and Militia, and to thousands of supporters in Latin America, the Carribean, and the rest of the world: “Juntos, todo es posible! Together, everything is possible!” Anti-imperialist forces throughout the world, united in struggle for sovereignty, independence, democracy and just peace can defeat the attacks of US imperialism.

NDF/Sison: Official and criminal connections of Duterte ruling clique to China
Jose Maria Sison propaganda statement posted to the National Democratic Front Philippines (NDFP or NDF) Website (Aug 8, 2019): Official and criminal connections of Duterte ruling clique to China
By Jose Maria Sison
NDFP Chief Political Consultant
August 8, 2019
The Duterte ruling clique benefits from two kinds of relations. First are the official relations to the Chinese government, the banks and corporations. Second are the criminal relations with the Chinese triads and the smuggling and gambling syndicates.
At the official level, the biggest deals involve commissions and other payoffs for high interest loans, overpriced infrastructure projects, private construction, mining, plantations, oil and gas exploration and exploitation and the third telco which is in connection with China Telcom and Huawei and which is regarded by the US and the Filipino people as a big breach on the national security of the Philippines and the US.
At the criminal level, the Duterte ruling clique has connived with Chinese triads in expanding the smuggling and distribution of illegal drugs, rice and other commodities and in the proliferation of Chinese casinos. The inflow of more than 3 million Chinese in the Philippines since 2016 are related to both official infrastructure projects and the criminal drug and gambling operations.

At the criminal level, the Duterte ruling clique has connived with Chinese triads in expanding the smuggling and distribution of illegal drugs, rice and other commodities and in the proliferation of Chinese casinos. The inflow of more than 3 million Chinese in the Philippines since 2016 are related to both official infrastructure projects and the criminal drug and gambling operations.

Kalinaw News: 29 former BIFF rebels receive livelihood aid from government
Posted to Kalinaw News (Aug 10, 2019): 29 former BIFF rebels receive livelihood aid from government
CAMP SIONGCO, Maguindanao – Twenty-nine Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) former rebels received livelihood package from the provincial government of Maguindanao last Monday (August 5, 2019).
The ceremony was held at the Provincial Capitol in Buluan, Maguindanao witnessed by actor and peace advocate Robin Padilla, Maguindanao town Mayors Rafsanjani P. Ali of General Salipada K. Pendatun and Abdulkarim Langkuno of Paglat, 1st Mechanized Infantry Brigade Commander Col. Efren P. Baluyot, 40th Infantry Battalion Commander Lt. Col. Rogelio S. Gabi, Maguindanao Police Provincial Director Police Colonel Arnold C. Santiago, Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources-BARMM Director Janice Musali, and Department of Agriculture-BARMM Director Datun M. Nur
The rebels previously surrendered to 33rd Infantry Battalion under Lt. Col. Harold Cabunoc on May 09, 2018 with the help of the local officials and their families in hope that they will be given appropriate assistance to help them re-integrate and start their new lives in the communities.
More than a year after they laid down their arms, the livelihood assistance were given as promised by the government through the effort of 40th Infantry Battalion who just assumed operational jurisdiction of the municipalities of GSKP, Paglat, Paglas, Pandag, Buluan, Mangudadatu, and Sultan Sabarongis (5 barangays) all of Maguindanao, and Lutayan and President Quirino of Sultan Kudarat.
Lt. Col Gabi sought the help of the newly-elected Maguindanao Governor Bai Mariam Sangki-Mangudadatu in providing livelihood assistance to the former rebels to help them live their normal lives.
The BIFF surrenderees received 20 units of agricultural machineries, 20 sacks of rice seedlings, 13 fishing boats, fishnets, and 60 packs of assorted groceries.
The two mayors from GSKP and Paglat towns, where the former rebels hailed from, expressed their gratitude to the governor for providing the assistance to the former rebels. They also recognized the efforts of the 40th Infantry Battalion for the initiative and efforts for the surrenderees .
“Programs like these provide a forum where all stakeholders can be brought together to address peace and security challenges in Mindanao with the hope that more extremist fighters will lay down their arms and return to the folds of the law,” said Governor Sangki-Mangudadatu.
The Governor also encouraged the former rebels to discourage their friends and relatives from joining the extremist groups for the sake of their families
Mr. Padilla, in his message, inspired the former rebels with stories of his own experiences as an actor that personifies freedom fighters in his movies that fought for the oppressed people and shared his advocacy of helping alleviate the plight of the moro people.
Col. Baluyot stressed that the activity showcased the convergence of the local government units, government agencies, and other stakeholders in promoting peace in the communities in a classic example of the whole of nation approach in nurturing an environment conducive for sustainable development.
He also emphasized that resorting to violent means is not the solution to the social problems in Maguindanao because it will only bring more problems and further hamper the development of Maguindanao.
Meanwhile, the Commander of 6th Infantry Division, Maj. Gen. Diosdado C. Carreon, commended the efforts of the military, the governments units and the governments agencies involved to provide livelihood assistance to the former rebels as part of the government’ Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP).
“We are hoping that the assistance of the government will bring betterment in their lives and will set an example to their former group to go back to mainstream society,” Maj. Gen. Carreon said.

Kalinaw News: Fact-finding mission proved unsuccessful
Posted to Kalinaw News (Aug 10, 2019): Fact-finding mission proved unsuccessful
NO TO COMMUNIST DECEPTION. Placard-bearing residents of Bgy. Dibuluan, San Mariano, Isabela on Friday (Aug. 9) protest the “fact-finding mission” by Gabriela party-list Rep. Arlene Brosas and her group on alleged military abuses. The fact-finding mission proved unsuccessful. The Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (CPP-NPA) and its front organizations are in a panic mode as the troops from Army’s the 502nd Infantry Brigade and 95th Infantry Battalion are beginning to achieve positive results of their Community Support Program (CSP) in the area, which calls for engaging the community, educating them on the deceptions and exploitation of the NPA, and bringing in the civil government to provide services to the community.

Kalinaw News: Maasin hailed as first Iloilo town to declare NPA persona non grata
Posted to Kalinaw News (Aug 10, 2019): Maasin hailed as first Iloilo town to declare NPA persona non grata
Maasin hailed as first Iloilo town to declare NPA persona non grata 1
CAMP PERALTA, Jamindan, Capiz – The 3rd Infantry (Spearhead) Division under the leadership of MGen Dinoh Dolina lauded the municipality of Maasin for hitting the record as the first Municipality in the province of Iloilo to declare the CPP-NPA Terrorist persona non grata.
“The role of our LGUs is vital in ending insurgency in the province; hence, I am commending the municipality of Maasin for taking the lead role in preventing the CPP-NPA Terrorist from entering and casting more terror in their communities by declaring them unwelcome. And, I am urging other municipalities to do the same in order to make this communist-terrorist group permanently irrelevant.”
According to LTC Joel Benedict Batara, Commanding Officer, 61st Infantry (Hunter) Battalion, the Municipal Peace and Order Council headed by Hon. Francis Amboy, the town mayor, passed and approved the Resolution No. 01, Series of 2019 on August 08, 2019 condemning the terroristic acts relentlessly committed by the CPP- NPA Terrorists and declaring them as persona non grata.
The resolution pointed out that the terrorist group launched series of atrocities targeting military, police, civilians and even government and private properties through liquidations, harassments, extortions and recruitment within the municipality affecting its socio-economic advancement.
In June 2017, around 50 fully armed CPP-NPA terrorists ransacked the Maasin police station and carted away several firearms and even personal belongings of the duty policemen.
“It was also cited in the resolution that these atrocities propagated fear to the general public and even potential investors which made a terrible economic implication not only in the municipality but the whole province of Iloilo,” said LTC Batara.
Further, the resolution emphasized that the atrocities perpetrated by the group are manifestations of betrayal of achieving peace, thus, disrupting the peace and order situation of the municipality.
