The entire leadership and membership of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) condemns in the strongest terms the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) for the brutal torture and cowardly killing of Party leaders Benito Tiamzon (Ka Laan) and Wilma Austria-Tiamzon (Ka Bagong-tao), together with eight other revolutionaries after they were captured in Samar province on August 21, 2022.

At the time of their murder, Ka Benito, 71, was the Chairman of the CPP Executive Committee, while Ka Wilma, 70, was the CPP’s Secretary General. They were travelling with Ka Divino (Joel Arceo), a subregional secretary in Eastern Visayas, along with Ka Yen, Ka Jaja, Ka Matt, Ka Ash, Ka Delfin, Ka Lupe, Ka Butig (Catbalogan 10), who all belonged to the guerrilla force of the central headquarters.

In a report, the Political Bureau said the Tiamzons were travelling on two separate vans along the national highway eastwards towards Catbalogan City. They were flagged down between 12:00 noon and 1:00 in the afternoon, after which all communications with the group were lost. They were unarmed.

It explained that it took several weeks to establish the veracity of the reports which the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) released around that time. It also had to conduct months of investigation to piece together the details of the capture and subsequent massacre of the Tiamzons.

According to the information gathered by the Central Committee, the Tiamzons suffered severe beating in the hands of their captors. Internal reports cited witnesses who saw how the faces and bodies of the victims were smashed, apparently beaten with hard objects.

The CPP PolitBureau disputed the report of the AFP suggesting that the Tiamzons were killed after their supposed boat exploded while engaging in a firefight with forces of the Joint Task Force Storm, the 8th Infantry Division and the Joint Special Operations Task Force-Trident—a unit trained and commanded by the US military—during the early morning hours of August 22, 2022 off the coast of Catbalogan.

The claimed mid-sea firefight and explosion were all a drama hatched by the AFP and its US military advisers, to hide all evidence of the ignominy of their fascist crime. In truth, the already lifeless bodies of the Tiamzons and their group were dumped on a motorboat filled with explosives, and tugged from Catbalogan midway towards Taranganan island before it was detonated. Only eight bodies were subsequently retrieved by the military.

The murder of the Tiamzons follow the pattern of the wilful killings perpetrated by the AFP against captured revolutionaries. The same cruel and cowardly methods were used in the killing of Jorge Madlos (Ka Oris), Menardo Villanueva (Ka Bok), Antonio Cabantan (Ka Manlimbasog), Julius Giron (Ka Nars) and a number of others.

The Party demands justice for the August 21 massacre of the Tiamzons et al. Their capture, torture and killing were directed by the top officers of the AFP. The CPP holds the following directly responsible for the dastardly crime:

Ferdinand Marcos Jr, commander-in-chief of the AFP, Lt. Gen. Emmanuel Bacarro, then chief-of-staff of the AFP, Lt. Gen. Edgardo de Leon, then head of the JTF-Storm and the 8th Infantry Division, and Brig. Gen. Marceliano Teofilo, head of the Intelligence Service ng AFP, as well as the US military advisers behind the Task Force Trident.

The CPP demands justice for the Tiamzons and the Catbalogan 10, and calls for their indictment in all relevant courts.

Political Bureau

CPP Central Committee

Communist Party of the Philippines

April 20, 2023

With overwhelming revolutionary outrage against the ruling classes and their fascist butchers, we are informing all cadres and members of the Party, all Red fighters of the New People’s Army (NPA), all revolutionary forces and the entire Filipino people, of the death of Ka Laan (Benito Tiamzon) and Ka Bagong-tao (Wilma Austria-Tiamzon), leading and most respected leaders of the Communist Party of the Philippines and the entire revolutionary movement in the country.

Ka Laan and Ka Bagong-tao were abominably and brutally murdered by the fascist monsters of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) on August 21, 2022, after they were captured while aboard two vans as they traveled towards the coasts of Catbalogan City. They were seized between 12 noon and 1:00 p.m. They were unarmed, not even with small firearms.

They were ten in all who were held, subjected to beatings and other forms of torture, before subsequently murdered. Along with Ka Laan and Ka Bagong-tao were Joel Arceo (Ka Divino, a subregional secretary in Eastern Visayas), Ka Yen, Ka Jaja, Ka Matt, Ka Ash, Ka Delfin, Ka Lupe and Ka Butig. According to the team who conducted the investigation, the faces of the comrades were shattered apparently by hard objects. Others showed clear marks of gunshot wounds.

To conceal their crime and erase all traces of evidence, the Joint Task Force Storm and the Task Force Trident of the AFP wove a story of a mid-sea encounter. In the early morning hours of August 22, 2022, the bodies of the murdered revolutionaries were dumped into a boat and towed to the middle of the sea before it was detonated somewhere between Catbalogan and Tarangnan island. Only eight bodies were reportedly recovered.

The Political Bureau and the Executive Committee received confirmation of the capture and killing of Ka Laan and Ka Bagong-tao a few days thereafter. Over the next weeks and months, a thorough investigation was conducted to piece the details behind this heinous crime.

We hold directly and principally responsible for the fascist brutality of the massacre of Ka Benito Tiamzon, Ka Wilma Austria and eight other revolutionaries the following: Ferdinand Marcos Jr, commander-in-chief of the AFP, Lt. Gen. Bartolome Bacarro, then chief of staff of the AFP, Gen. Edgardo de Leon, then head of the JTF-Storm and the 8th Infantry Division, and Brig. Gen. Marceliano Teofino, head of the Intelligence Service of the AFP. We also hold the US military directly involved in the crime through the Joint Special Operations Task Force Trident, a unit that is directly commanded, trained and armed by the US. Marcos and his cohorts must be indicted before the relevant courts.
True heroes of the Filipino people

The Central Committee declares husband and wife Ka Benito Tiamzon and Ka Wilma Austria as martyrs and true heroes of the Filipino people. They dedicated their entire lives to serving the opppressed and exploited masses and gave all their body and minds to advancing the aspirations for national freedom and democracy, socialism and communism.

From the deep recesses of the hearts of all Filipino revolutionaries, the Political Bureau and the entire Central Committee expresses their deep sympathies to the children and grandchildren of Ka Laan and Ka Bagong-tao.

Ka Laan and Ka Bagong-tao were masters of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism and of the theory and practice of the Philippine revolution. Guided by Comrade Jose Maria Sison, they outstandingly led the Central Committee and the New People’s Army through almost three decades of waging protracted people’s war.

Ka Laan and Ka Bagong-tao were both children of the revolutionary upsurge of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Ka Laan was born on March 21, 1951 and grew up in Marikina, Metro Manila. Ka Bagong-tao was born on December 21, 1952 hails from Pasig City. They were both students of Jose Rizal High School. They entered the University of the Philippines around the same time in the late 1960s, became writers of the Philippine Collegian, and became members of national democratic youth organizations.

They both served as organizers of workers and peasants. Before being appointed to the central organs of the Party, both led efforts in advancing the revolutionary movements in various regions. From Manila, they were transferred to Cebu in 1974 to do organizing work among workers. They were transferred to Samar the following year to carry out initial social investigation and deepen grasp of antifeudal struggles among other tasks. In 1976, Ka Laan served as secretary of the Eastern Visayas region, while Ka Bagong-tao was deputy secretary. Ka Bagong-tao was among those who led the forces in Central Luzon during the early 1980s during which time the armed struggle and broad mass struggles of workers and peasants raged against the US-Marcos dictatorship. Ka Laan’s leadership of the revolutionary movement in Eastern Visayas was characterized by vigorous antifeudal struggles and armed resistance.

Ka Laan and Ka Bagong-tao played key roles in carrying out the Second Great Rectification Movement (SGRM) in 1992-1998 which reaffirmed the Party’s Marxist-Leninist-Maoist stand and basic principles, and strategy and tactics of waging protracted people’s war to carry forward the people’s democratic revolution. They superbly led the defense of Party Central Committee and frustrated the attempts of the revisionist traitors to lead astray or divide the Party. Through their leadership, they pulled the Party from the brink of dissolution and guided the Philippine revolution back to the path of advance and growth.

Through three decades, Ka Laan served as the chairman of the Executive Committee of the Central Committee in its day-to-day leadership of the Philippine revolution. Ka Bagong-tao served as the general secretary of the Central Committee. During the Party’s Second Congress in 2016, both were reelected to the Central Committee and to the central organs of the Party.

During the past decades, they performed their individual responsibilities, even as they served as partners in performing the difficult tasks of leading the Party. They worked side by side with the other leading cadres of the Party in the Central Committee, Political Bureau and Executive Committee, in serving as beacons of the people’s democratic revolution in the Philippines.

They led the drafting of the documents of the Central Committee and the Executive Committee which further enriched the theories of waging the people’s democratic revolution in the Philippines. The memoranda and directives of the EC-CC further elaborated and deepened the concept of the protracted people’s war and guerrilla warfare. They dedicated themselves to helping Party cadres tighten their grasp of the principles of waging people’s war in an all-rounded manner, and of the crucial importance of combining its three components–armed struggle, agrarian revolution and mass base building.

The writings of Ka Laan and Ka Bagong-tao now form part of the rich treasure chest of revolutionary theory of the Philippine revolution serving as its contribution to the enrichment of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism. These will be collected by the Central Committee into one or several books to serve as reference for the Party’s cadres.

Ka Laan and Ka Bagong-tao were captured in 2014 and were imprisoned for more than two years. They were released in 2016 to serve in the negotiating panel of the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) in peace negotiations with the Duterte regime. When Duterte terminated peace negotiations and ordered the capture and killing of the personages of the NDFP, the Party and NPA, Ka Laan and Ka Bagong-tao immediately took to the guerrilla fronts.

Duterte spent hundreds of millions of pesos to pursue the headquarters of Ka Laan and Ka Bagong-tao and of the Central Committee since 2017. The regime carried out wanton aerial bombing and artillery shelling which caused gross devastation to the lives and livelihood of the broad masses supporting the revolutionary movement. Thousands of fascist troops were deployed in the enemy’s vile scheme to end the life of Ka Laan and Ka Bagong-tao and decapitate the Party.

The enemy may have succeeded in murdering Ka Laan and Ka Bagong-tao, but they have been frustrated in their aim of destroying the Party’s leadership. In the same way that when giant trees fall in the forest, the sun’s rays now passes through giving warmth and strength to the new pillars of the Party and NPA.
Strong collective leadership of the Party’s Central Committee

The death of Comrades Benito Tiamzon and Wilma Austria-Tiamzon, followed by the passing away of Ka Joma last December 16, 2022, are without a doubt, a great loss to the Party, particularly to the Central Committee. Neither can one deny the heavy impact of the death or demise of other leading cadres of the Party over the past years including Julius Giron (Ka Nars), Jorge Madlos (Ka Oris), Menandro Villaneuva (Ka Bok), Antonio Cabanatan (Ka Manlimbasog), Eugenia Magpantay (Ka Fiel), Mariano Adlao (Ka Panoy) and others.

However, during their period of leadership of the Party and Philippine revolution, they trained thousands of cadres and revolutionaries who now are ready to fill their void and take on the heavy tasks and responsibilities. Some may have gone, but in their place are far greater number of cadres and leaders who are determined to grow amid great challenges.

Led by the Political Bureau, the Central Committee and other leading organs of the Party were quickly reconstituted and revitalized. Replacement cadres were immediately appointed and are now performing the daily work and tasks of leadership. Without fear, they have accepted the challenges of leadership. The Central Committee continues to strengthen its work of guiding the leading committees and cadres in the regional committees and its other central organs. The Central Committee is exerting all-out effort to strengthen the Party ideologically, politically and organizationally.

On the initiative of the Political Bureau and Central Committee, Party cadres at all levels of leadership are collectively undertaking all-out efforts to raise their theoretical and practical knowledge of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the Party’s basic ideological, political and organizational principles, and the strategy and tactics of waging the people’s democratic revolution through protracted people’s war.

Party cadres are leading efforts to sum-up experiences, overcome weaknesses and rectify errors. They are determined to carry out self-remoulding in accordance with proletarian ideology, guard against and repudiate erroneous ideas, improve the democratic style of work and put into criticism and self-criticism to practice as method to strengthen unity and improve their work. All Party cadres are ready to make heavy sacrifices while harnessing the strength of the entire membership to surmount all difficulties and challenges, and advance towards the path of a new revolutionary upsurge.

The Central Committee is now leading efforts to further strengthen the people’s democratic revolution. The entire membership of the Party are firmly united on the basis of the plans and tasks set forth by the Central Committee as contained in the directives issued by the Executive Committee. All Party committees have been tasked to arouse, organize and mobilize the masses and lead their economic and political struggles, in their fight against anti-people neoliberal policies, the enemy’s fascist terrorism and intensifying US intervention, and to build the broadest united front to expose, isolate and fight the US-Marcos fascist regime. The Central Committee has also tasked the New People’s Army to roundly frustrate the enemy’s all-out offensives, further expand and strengthen links with the broad peasant masses, thoroughly galvanize antifeudal struggles, expand, strengthen and increase the number of mass organizations in the countryside, and stoke and scatter the flames of guerrilla warfare.

The Central Committee is currently strengthening the Party organization in accordance with the principle of democratic centralism. Collective leadership is being fully strengthened at all levels. Rules and discipline are firmly being observed. To build unity, efforts to hold regular meetings and conferences are being carried out in earnest. Policies and directives are firmly implemented to order that the entire Party marches as one body. Leading Party committees regularly and promptly submit reports to the higher organs. At all levels of leadership, the work at the lower levels are closely supervised alongside the situation masses.

In the face of the worsening crisis of the semicolonial and semifeudal system and gross suffering, exploitation and oppression under imperialism, feudalism and bureaucrat capitalism, the broad masses of the Filipino people are strongly determined to persevere in revolutionary struggle. The Party is resolved more than ever to arouse, organize and mobilize the broad masses of the Filipino people, and lead the revolutionary armed struggle and revolutionary mass movement across the country.

Guided by Marxism-Leninism-Maoism and by strengthening collective leadership and the unity of all patriotic and democratic classes, it is with certainty that our great Party together with the Filipino people will carry forward the national democratic revolution to greater heights and attain even bigger victories in the coming years.

Inspired by the memories of Ka Laan, Ka Bagong-tao, Ka Joma, and all great martyrs and heroes of the proletariat ang Filipino people, let us give all our energy to shoulder the difficult tasks in advancing the aspirations for genuine freedom, democracy and socialism.

Long live the memories of Ka Benito Tiamzon and Ka Wilma Austria!

Wave high the red banner of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism!

Fight for national freedom and democracy!

Persevere on the path of the national democratic revolution and its socialist future!

Carry forward the protracted people’s war!

Long live the New People’s Army!

Long live the Communist Party of the Philippines!

Long live the toiling masses and the Filipino people!

Butigon si B/Gen. Orlando Edralin, CO 303rd Bde PA nga nagapalayag sa media. Makahuluya nga ginahinabunan ni Edralin ang palpak nga operasyon sang nerbyuso nga tropang 62nd IB sa binukid sang Moises Padilla. Paano matabo ang engkwentro nga wala ka sang kontra? Gusto lang ni Edralin nga i-cover-up kag i-divert ang matuod nga hitabo kag isyu.

Lubos gid ginakondenar sang LPC-NPA ang pagbulad sang bangkay ni Jose Albores sa sulod sang isa ka adlaw sa isa ka mainit nga lugar, pagransak sang ila puluy-an kag pagkawat sang P50,000.00 nga kwarta sang nasambit nga pamilya Albores.

Ang pagtiner sang militar sa mga kabalayan sa komunidad sang mga mangunguma kag pagpamahug sa ila, klaro nga bayolasyon sa CARHRIHL kag laye sa gyera. Nagapamatuod lang nga desperado, mersenaryo, pasista kag berdugo ang AFP ilabe na ang 62nd IB.

April 17, 2023

The Negotiating Panel of the National Democratic Front of the Philippines strongly protests the presentation of Eric Jun Baring Casilao by the Philippine National Police as a “terrorist”.

This is totally unacceptable and is not only in violation of basic human rights and international humanitarian law but is shamelessly inhuman. Only real terrorists parade their captives in public for humiliation and ignominy that is a throwback to the dark ages of uncivil conduct.

He has the universal right to be presumed innocent until his case is heard in an impartial court of law under due process. He has the right to legal counsel and other basic civil rights that should be observed by civilized systems.

Eric Jun Baring Casilao is an NDFP consultant for the Reciprocal Working Committee on the Comprehensive Agreement on Socio Economic Reforms (CASER) in Southern Mindanao. In 2004, he decided to seek sanctuary with the masses when he was constantly harassed after being designated the second nominee of Anak ng Bayan partylist in 2004.

The Negotiating Panel demands that his life, security and safety are guaranteed also in compliance with the binding mandates of the GRP-NDFP Joint Agreement on Safety and Immunity Guarantees (JASIG) and the GRP-NDFP Comprehensive Agreement on Respect for Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law (CARHRIHL).

Chief Information Officer

Communist Party of the Philippines

April 17, 2023

The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and the New People’s Army (NPA) joins the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) in holding the Week to Remember and Honor the Filipino People’s Heroes and Martyrs on April 17 to 24, which the NDFP National Council declared as an annual event.

During this week, let us remember all the heroes and martyrs of the Philippine revolution in the more than five decades of revolutionary resistance to achieve national freedom and democracy.

On this occasion, we give our highest tribute to CPP Central Committee founding chairperson Ka Jose Maria Sison (Amado Guerrero) who dedicated close to six decades of his life to the Filipino people’s patriotic and democratic cause. His revolutionary spirit is immortal and will forever inspire the next generation of Filipino revolutionaries.

The Party pays tribute to all the heroes and martyrs of the people, including members of the Central Committee, its Political Bureau and Executive Committee, as well as cadres, Red fighters and mass activists, who paid the ultimate sacrifice or died while serving the people and fighting for the national democratic cause.

The Filipino people’s martyrs are the indestructible bastions of the national-democratic revolution. They have shown indomitable resolve to struggle with the Filipino masses against imperialism, feudalism and bureaucrat-capitalism. To them we give our highest reverence and salute!

At the same time, we extol the revolutionary masses, the activists of mass organizations, Red fighters, organizers and cadres of the Party who continue to persevere along the revolutionary path despite all the hardships and sacrifices especially in the face of heightened campaign of fascist terrorism instigated by US imperialism.

The CPP call on all its committees, revolutionary mass organizations and units of the NPA to mount activities in the upcoming days to mark this week of remembrance. Memorial meetings and assemblies can be held in secret where tributes and remembrance of our heroes can be read.

The sacrifice of our heroes has paid in the form of the revolutionary power attained and established across the entire country. This power emanates from the people. It has taken deep and wide roots and continues to expand. It will never be vanquished even in the face of the enemy’s relentless military campaigns of suppression. This power is the future of the Filipino people.

The Party calls on the Filipino people to continue their valiant resistance to the enemy’s reign of terror, and fight to win justice for all victims of fascist terrorism.

Our heroes and martyrs have paved the path towards the country’s bright future. Still, the road towards ultimate victory remains long and difficult. Imbued with their spirit, the Filipino people will continue to endure and carry forward.

Long live the Filipino people’s heroes and martyrs!

Nabalitaan namin na pinatay ang rebolusyonaryong taksil na si Gringo Chan alyas Ka Greg nitong Abril 14 sa Brgy Sta. Cruz, Casiguran. Si Chan ay naging miyembro ng Bagong Hukbong Bayan sa Sorsogon noong 2013 batay sa rekomendasyon ng kababaryo niyang si Antonio Benzon ngunit dahil sa ilang ulit na hindi pagsunod sa mga patakaran at disiplina sa loob ng kilusan ay napagdesisyunan na paalisin siya at ‘di na pababalikin sa kilusan noong 2015.

Habang namumuhay siya bilang sibilyan ay patung-patong ang kanyang naging kasalanan sa mamamayan— tulad ng pagpatay sa kanyang kababaryo noong 2015, pananaga, pambubugbog, pambababae, pananakot at pangingikil gamit ang pangalan ng BHB. Dahil sa mga kasalanan niya sa mamamayan ay hinatulan sya ng parusang kamatayan ng prubinsyal na hustisyang bayan.

Taong 2018 ay pumaloob sya sa maanomalyang E-CLIP kasama si Benzon at kalaunan ay naging aktibo sa mga aktibidad ng 31st IB tulad ng “peace rally”, patipon, operasyong militar at naging bahagi ng death squad ng AFP na syang naging responsable sa mga kaso ng ekstrahudisyal na pagpatay sa mga aktibista at mga pinagbibintangang sumusuporta sa rebolusyonaryong kilusan.

Bagamat may hatol na parusang kamatayan para kay Chan, hindi ang BHB ang pumatay sakanya kundi ang mismong mga kababaro niya.

Ang sinapit ni Chan ay hindi nakapagtataka batay sa madugo niyang kasaysayan. Iilan lamang ang may interes na patayin siya — ang kanyang mga kasama sa death squad o mga elemento ng AFP na gumagamit sa kanila sa mga iligal na aktibidad at naglalagay sa kanila sa kapahamakan.

Ang pagpaslang sa kanya ay isa lamang patunay na hindi totoo na nalalagay sa tahimik at malayo sa armadong tunggalian ang mga sumusurender. Nagpapakita rin ito kung anong klaseng mga tao ang piniling samahan at pagsilbihan ni Chan — traydor, berdugo at mga mersenaryo.

Mabaskog nga ginakondenar sang Leonardo Panaligan Command-New People’s Army ang ilegal nga pag-aresto sang pasistang tropa sang 62nd IB sa mag-asawa nga sanday Jerry Montefalcon, 49 anyos kag Maricel Alper, lunsay mga mangunguma, sibilyan kag may 7 ka kabataan sa sityo Natuling, Brgy Budlasan, Canlaon sadtong Abril 15, 2023 las 4:00 sang kaagahon. Ginlusob ang ila puluy-an nga wala sang search warrant kag wala man sang warrant of arrest nga ginpresentar ang nasambit nga tropa militar. Wala man sila ginpahangup sang ila kinamatarung kag pilit lamang nga gindala sang desperadong tropa ang mag-asawa sa Canlaon PNP station.

Si Jerry Montefalcon ang biktima sang redtagging sang AFP, PNP kag NTF-Elcac sang nasambit nga syudad sadtong tuig 2018 matapos ang Oplan Sauron 1 sang Disyembre 2018. Abril 2022 ginlusob man sang kumbinado nga pwersa sang 62nd IB kag SAF-PNP ang puluy-an sang mag-asawa kag gintamnan sang 38 revolber, mga bala kag grenade rifle. Ina nga panahon wala si Jerry sa ila puluy-an kay nagakarga-tapas sa kampo sang tubo. Sadtong Agosto 2022 rason nga napilitan si Jerry nga boluntaryo nagpalapit sa Canlaon PNP station sa pagklaro sang iya status bilang mangunguma kag sibilyan. Gilayon nagbalik siya sa lugar upod sa iya pamilya sa pagpanguma.

Wala sa roster sang NPA si Jerry Montefalcon. Madugay na nga nagapanguma si Montefalcon sa lugar taliwas sang pagpasibangud sang desperadong 62nd IB sa nasambit nga biktima.

Daw mapaos na ang tagtaghol sang 303rd Bde PA sa pagpanawagan kag pagpanginto sa pagpasurender sa mga sibilyan. Ini ang eskima sang AFP, PNP kag NTF-Elcac nga himuon gatasan ang mga inosenteng sibilyan kag mangunguma sa lapnagon nga korapsyon sa hanay sang mga matag-as nga opisyal sang state forces kag local government units. Ang natabo kay Jerry Montefalcon kag Maricel Alper ang manipestasyon sang pagpatalang kag korapsyon sang desperadong militar.

Padayon nga hublasan ang mga kontra-pumuluyo nga pakana sang berdugong militar! Hustisya sa mga biktima sa pagbayolar sang tawhanon nga kinamatarung!

NPA kag pumuluyo mag-isa! ilunsar ang lapnagon nga taktikal nga opensiba sa larangang gerilya batok sa pasistang kaaway!

CPP/NPA-Masbate: Kumpiskasyon ng armas sa mga aset-militar, bahagi ng nagpapatuloy na armadong paglaban ng mamamayan sa paghaharing teror ng AFP-PNP-CAFGU sa Masbate

Propaganda statement posted to the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) Philippine Revolution Web Central (PRWC) Website (Apr 15, 2023): Kumpiskasyon ng armas sa mga aset-militar, bahagi ng nagpapatuloy na armadong paglaban ng mamamayan sa paghaharing teror ng AFP-PNP-CAFGU sa Masbate (Arms confiscation of military assets, part of the ongoing armed resistance of the people against the reign of terror of the AFP-PNP-CAFGU in Masbate)

NPA-Masbate (Jose Rapsing Command)

Bicol Regional Operational Command (Romulo Jallores Command) 

New People's Army

April 15, 2023

Matagumpay na kinumpiska ng isang yunit ng Jose Rapsing Command – BHB Masbate ang dala-dalang armas ng ilang mga asset-militar ng 2nd Infantry Battalion – Phil. Army sa bayan ng Milagros. Nakumpiska sa mga kriminal na sina Glenn Masamoc, isang CAFGU, mag-asawang sina Rina Verdida at Larry Quilantang, at isa pang asset na si Ganga Dalanon ang isang armalite rifle. Naganap ang kumpiskasyon noong Abril 14, alas-kwatro ng hapon sa Sityo Pondol sa hangganan ng mga barangay ng San Carlos at Matagbac ng naturang bayan.

Layunin ng naturang aksyong gerilya na patawan ng hakbanging pagtutuwid ang naturang mga asset-militar sa kanilang mga krimen at kataksilan sa masang Masbatenyo, laluna sa mga magsasaka. Aktibo ang naturang mga asset sa malawakang pangangamkam ng lupa sa ilalim ng militaristang Executive Order No. 75 ni Bongbong Marcos. Sa katunayan, kasalukuyan silang kabahagi sa pakana ng militar na palayasin ang mga orihinal na nagbubungkal sa Hacienda Yulo sa bayan ng Milagros at palitan ng mga pekeng benepisyaryo mula sa hanay ng AFP-PNP-CAFGU at kanilang mga tauhan.

Sangkot din ang naturang mga ahenteng militar sa agresibong pang-aatake sa mga mamamayan ng ikalawang distrito ng prubinsya. Sina Masamoc at Dalanon ay responsable sa pagpatay sa sibilyang si Rodante Arizala noong 2022.

Taksil din si Verdida sa kanyang uri matapos magpagamit sa militar bilang pangunahing asset sa kampanyang crackdown laban sa mga lider at kasapi ng progresibo at demokratikong kilusan sa Masbate. Magsilbi itong babala kay Verdida at sa mga tulad niyang ahente na hindi titigil ang BHB-Masbate na igawad ang rebolusyonaryong hustisya sa mga taksil sa masang Masbatenyo.

Higit sa lahat, ang naturang aksyong gerilya ay bahagi ng nagpapatuloy na armadong paglaban ng masa upang panagutin ang AFP-PNP-CAFGU sa kanilang mga pasistang krimen mula sa malawakang pananakot, sapilitang pagpapasurender, pagsasamantala sa kababaihan, laganap na pagsira sa kabuhayan, pagwasak sa mga organisasyong masa at maramihang pagpatay at masaker sa mga sibilyan. Pagpapanagot din ito sa mga mandarambong tulad ng Filminera, Empark, mga malalaking rantsero’t iba pang lokal na naghaharing-uri sa kanilang pang-aagaw ng lupa, pagdambong sa yamang likas at pamiminsala sa kalikasan ng prubinsya gamit ang terorismong militar.

Bahagi rin ang naturang aksyong gerilya sa pakikiisa ng JRC-BHB Masbate sa Linggo ng Paggunita at Pagpaparangal sa Mga Bayani at Martir ng Sambayanang Pilipino na gugunitain mula ika-17 hanggang ika-24 ng Abril.

Maagap na nabatid ng Hukbo na kasabay ng mga asset na nakasakay sa motorsiklo ang dalawang menor-de-edad at ilang mga sibilyan. Dahil pangunahin para sa NPA ang kapakanan ng mga sibilyan, ikinansela ng Hukbo ang kagyat na pagpataw ng parusang kamatayan at sa halip ay pinahinto na lamang ang mga target upang kumpiskahan ng armas at arestuhin batay sa mga alituntunin ng hukumang bayan.

Habang kinukumpiskahan ng armas, nanlaban si Dalanon at Masamoc dahilan upang mabilis na depensahan ng Hukbo ang mga sibilyan, laluna ang isang bata upang makatungo sila sa ligtas na kalagayan. Sang-ayon sa mga tuntunin ng rebolusyonaryong kilusan hinggil sa pagsisiyasat, pag-usig at pag-aresto sa mga ahente ng kaaway, kinailangang gumamit ang Hukbo ng pinahihintulutang dahas para sa kaligtasan ng lahat, laluna ng mga sibilyang ginawang cover ng mga naturang asset.

Napatay si Dalanon habang sugatan sina Quilantang at Masamoc. Nasa mabuting kalagayan ang isang bata habang ang isang binata ay nagalusan matapos kasuklam-suklam na tangkaing ipahamak nina Dalanon at Masamoc.

Sa mahigpit na pagtalima ng NPA sa disiplinang bakal sa naturang taktikal na opensiba, lalong nauunawaan ng publiko na likas sa digmang bayang pinangungunahan ng rebolusyonaryong kilusan ang pagsaalang-alang sa kapakanan at interes ng mamamayan sa lahat ng sandali.

Una, likas na makatao ang rebolusyonaryong digma dahil nakasalig ito sa paglahok at pagkilos ng buong sambayanan upang ibagsak ang mapagsamantala at mapang-aping sistemang pinaghaharian ng imperyalismo, burukrata kapitalismo at pyudalismo.

Pangalawa, makatarungan ang armadong paglaban ng mamamayan, laluna ng mga Masbatenyo. Sa Masbate, libu-libong ektarya ang nabawi ng mga magsasaka sa mga panginoong maylupang rantsero at ilampung lokal na Pulang gubyerno ang kanilang naitayo dahil sa kanilang armadong pakikibaka kasama ang Bagong Hukbong Bayan.

Ikatlo, at higit sa lahat, higit pa sa internasyunal na makataong batas ang prinsipyong isinasabuhay ng NPA dahil nasa ilalim ito ng absolutong pamumuno ng Partido Komunista ng Pilipinas.

Samakatuwid, nasa kaluluwa ng Bagong Hukbong Bayan ang pulitika ng pagrerebolusyon ng Pilipino habang nasa puso nito ang buhay-at-kamatayang paglilingkod sa sambayanan.

Walang saysay anumang misimpormasyon at paninirang ipapalabas ng AFP-PNP-CAFGU at ng kanilang punong kumander na si Bongbong Marcos lalupa’t nagiging mas malinaw ang pagkakaiba ng rebolusyonaryong NPA at teroristang AFP-PNP-CAFGU. Habang patuloy ang NPA sa pagtatanggol sa masa laban sa terorismong militar, malawakan ngayong kinasusuklaman ng publiko ang PNP sa nalantad na toneladang shabu na balak ipuslit ng ilan nilang mataas na upisyal. Mariin ding binabatikos si Marcos at ang AFP sa asal-aliping pagpapahintulot sa US na idawit ang Pilipinas sa tumitinding armadong tensyon ng US at kapwa imperyalistang Tsina.

Kaugnay nito, kinikilala ng JRC-BHB Masbate ang taktikal na impormasyong ibinibigay ng mga kaibigan mula sa ilang elemento ng AFP-PNP-CAFGU sa mga taktikal na opensibang ilinunsad ng Hukbo kamakailan. Sa naganap na pagpasabog sa CAFGU-Army detachment sa Manlut-od, ilang mga CAFGU na nasusuklam sa kanilang mga upisyal na militar ang nagbigay ng ilang intel na nagamit ng BHB. Ang ilang intel kila Verdida ay mula sa ilang nauugnayan sa PNP-Masbate na galit dahil sa mas mataas na kikbak na tinatanggap ng Army mula sa Filminera.

Patuloy na magpupunyagi ang Jose Rapsing Command at ang mamamayang Masbatenyo na isulong ang ilang dekadang armadong paglabang humugis sa kasaysayan ng prubinsya. Bawat tagumpay ay ambag sa pagpapanumbalik-sigla ng kilusan at pakikibakang masang Masbatenyo, pagkakamit ng hustisya, paglaban sa rehimeng Marcos-Duterte at pagsusulong ng digmang bayan tungo sa mas mataas na antas.#

April 16, 2023 - 18th Special Forces of the Philippine Army (PA), elements of Philippine Coast Guard Special Operations Group, US Army and Australian Defense Force counterparts conducted Fast Rope Insertion/Extraction training rehearsals as part of the ongoing Balikatan exercise at Brgy. Punta Baja, Rizal, Palawan.

 
More or less 60 highly trained RP-US and Australian Special Operations Forces demonstrated their capability in performing fast rope drills intended to build readiness and interoperability among BK 38-23 participants in the coming days.

 
Fast Rope Insertion/Extraction System (FRIES) is primarily used for troop insertion especially in denied areas and places where helicopters are unable to land. Such rehearsals aim to demonstrate PH, US and Australian capability in rapidly deploying forces in the most restrictive and challenging terrains.

The troops deployed in Western Command Joint Operational Area (JOA) will be able to share their experties and knowledge as well as gain good practices from their counterparts. These types of operations suit the demands of WESCOM in a joint operational environment.
