REAL DEAL INSIDE 2009 NPA DEFECTION

Rift Between JOMA and Tiamzon:

Acting CPP-NPA Chair Benito Tiamzon is plotting to convene another “regodon” amongst the Communist higher-ups.

As sourced, this involves severing ties with Chairman-in-absentia Jose Maria “Joma” Sison, who had been in asylum in the Netherlands for over 22 years.

The plan to unseat Sison was culminated when Tiamzon felt threatened by the move to set aside the armed offensive to give-way for Sison loyalists’ plan to get elected this coming 2010 election.

Infiltrating the government’s inner core with the use of cadres guised as progressive leaders caused a stir on battle-ready Reds like Tiamzon who fears of being casted aside.

Tiamzon served Sison like a 24/7 “canine” hoping that one day he assumes the Communist throne. With Satur Ocampo getting much favors from Joma after having been his former wing-man inside the Southern Tagalog Regional Party Committee, Tiamzon could not rule-out the possibility he was being taken out of the picture.

In order for Ocampo to win much votes, the NPA led by Tiamzon needs to be “emasculated”. They were ordered to stand-back and abandon their posts.

Ocampo is unfit to fill the shoes of Tiamzon. He was too sucked-up in politics that his allegiance to the CPP-NPA is at question. The progressive leader dubiously going over the pursuit of his own political career.

With the help of Tiamzon loyalists in Southern Tagalog ang Western Visayas, the hunt for Joma sympathizers in Mindanao and Northern Luzon is on.

The plan was simple, demoralize the Joma believers and raise favorable cadres on Wilma (Benito’s Party wife) to ascend the Chairmanship.

This way, the Tiamzon couple could enjoy their fair share of the CPP-NPA “autocracy”, like a “worth the wait” pay-off after serving as Sison’s moppet for more than two decades.

Surfacing NPA Defectors:

The Tiamzon-led hound on former Southern Mindanao Regional Committee (SMRC) leader-Leoncio Pitao in Davao City for his allegiance to Sison alarmed a handful of cadres.

Primarily. Pitao was a lab rat used to magnify the extent of Tiamzon’s all-out war against Sison sympathizers.

But other than “forcing” cadres to embrace Tiamzon and ditch Sison, a handful of them defected from the CPP-NPA command.

The so-called “defectors” have had enough of the higher-ups bickering. They would not wait to die on either Sison or Tiamzon’s hands.

In fact, the “defectors” believed that their best chances of survival are going against both Sison and Tiamzon.

Like the “rejectionist” faction identified as the Alex Boncayao Brigade led by Arturo Tabara and Romulo Kintanar, the 2009 NPA defectors make-use of urban warfare and even getting themselves associated on terrorist acts.

The NPA defectors wanted to make a statement on the CPP-NPA leadership through conducts of indiscriminate atrocities to include bombing operations in key districts.

Blast in the Ombudsman as well as last Sunday’s near Cotabato Cathedral explosion were all part of the NPA “defectors” show of force. It was fitting since it could be readily guised as part of the Oplan August Moon coup and even that of MILF-SOG retaliatory attacks after all-out government offensives in Maguindanao.

The “defectors” do not wish to deface the Communist Party except for its leadership. Letting the public know the split-up in the CPP-NPA would demoralize the revolutionary cause altogether.

Thus, putting the blames on “usual suspects” serves best to keep the controversial Tiamzon’s “regodon” upshots.

Other than the established MILF BIAFs, guerilla fronts of the CPP-NPA under Far Southern Mindanao region (FSMR) are strategic post machinated to carry-out the bombings in Cotabato City.

So far defectors from the NPA were rooting under FSMR, SMRC, NEMRC (North-Eastern Mindanao Regional Committee) and a portion of the Metro Manila Regional Party Committee (MMRPC).
