Noong nakaraang sabado, sinunog ng may apat-na pung armadong NPA ang ten wheeler trucks ng kompanyang DOLE-Stanfilco sa Alamada. Pangunahing motibo ng insidente ang patuloy na di pagbabayad umano ng kumpanya ng milyong kinikikil ng Partido Komunista. Liban sa naturang banana plantation, matunog din ang Sagittarius Mines sa ComVal na hinuhuthutan ng grupo. At sa oras nga na humindi ang mga ito, matinding takutan ang pinasisimunuan ng NPA na malimit humahantong sa panununog ng milyun-milyong ari-arian ng kompanya. Ang pina-igting na extortion scheme ng NPA sa ngayon ay kalakip daw sa planong palobohin ang pondo ng Makabayang Koalisyon ng Mamamayan (MAKABAYAN).
Masasabi ngang may abiso ng MAKABAYAN ang barubal na pangangalap ng pondo ngayon ng Partido Komunista. Kung iisipin kasi parte lang ng adhikain ni Joma Sison na tinaguriang “founder” ng CPP ang pagpasok ng maka-kaliwa sa gobyerno. Pangunahing paraan parin kasi ng pag-sulong ng rebolusyon ay ang walang tigil na pakikibaka sa bundok. Patunay riyan ang mensahe ni Sison sa National Conference of Party List Groups kung saan binigyang diin niya na ang armadong pakikibaka parin ng NPA ang mainam na paraan para masupil ang demokrasya sa bansa. Kasabay dito ang pag-usad ang NPA sa tulong na rin ng mga grupong sumusuporta sa CPP tulad na rin ng MAKABAYAN at mga personahe nito.
Layunin ng CPP na panalunin ang gyera laban sa gobyerno gamit ang kamay na bakal. Kaya naman dagli nitong nababaluktot ang usaping kapayapaan para lalong maging malakas ang armadong sangay nito. Isa na riyan ang paghiling nila na mapalaya sa bisa ng Joint Agreement on Safety and Immunity Guarantees (JASIG) ang mga nakakulong ng mga lider nito tulad na nga nila Randall Echaniz at Elizabeth Principe. Kung iisipin malaking kalokohan ang JASIG gayong pinalalaya nito ang mga hinatulang may pananagutan sa batas. Multiple murderes sina Echaniz at Principe ngunit tila limot ito ng gobyerno para lang udyukang dumalo sa negotiating table ang CPP. Malaking kalokohan; at higit sa lahat panunupalpal sa interes ng adminsitrasyong Gloria na pahupain ang gulo ng insureksiyon sa bansa.
Dalawang lehitimong laban ang pilit na pinapanalo ngayon ng CPP. Ito ay sa pamamagitan ng pagsali nila sa darating na eleksiyon gamit ang MKABAYAN upang makapagluklok na din ng mga sisira sa gobyerno at ang usaping pangkapayaan kung saan pinipilit nilang pagbigyan sila ng GRP sa bawat hiling na pagpapalaya dito o kaya’y tigil-putukan doon. Walang katapusan ang maduming larong ito ng CPP hanggat hindi nila nasisikil ang republika.

JASIG REINSTATED BUT NPA OFFENSIVES HEIGHTENED " WHO LACKS INTEREST TO TALK?'
Communist Party of the Philippines Chair-in-absentia, Jose Maria Sison recently made burly annotations against the resumption of talks with the Gloria administration. That is, even with the reinstatement of the Joint Agreement on Safety and Immunity Guarantees or (JASIG) last July 17th that includes the release of high-ranking NPA who walked free from their separate murder charges. Particularly, this include Randall Echaniz, who was branded one of the NDF’s Peace talk Consultants right after he was detained for (15) counts of murder, illegal possession of firearms and explosives and Writ of Amparo under RTCs across Manila, Basey and Hilongos, Leyte. Echaniz’s release was shortly followed by Elizabeth Principe, who also faces charges of multiple murder and armed robber in Cuayan, Isabela RTCs. These criminals are out no bail or legal concession needed. Government had once again bended its laws for state insurgents.
JASIG reinstatement was among the bargaining agreements raised by the CPP-NPA-NDF to pull their forces back on the negotiating table. This is a must to invite high ranking Reds to settle for non-offensive resolve as claimed by the Communist hierarchy but it had not been the case since the late 1990s. Since the inception of talks between the GRP and the NDFP there had been nothing less than riddling offenses made by the JOMA minions. In 2001, talks went into a three-year impasse as the Reds admitted to the killing of Congressman Rodolfo Aguinaldo in Tuguegarao City. However, in 2004 and 2008, the Communist Party backed-down on its peaceful recourse as they had been included in the U.S list of global terrorist threats. These summed-up to a total of four back-throwing attempts of the CPP against the seated administration. Most of which blew out into a wide scale tactical offensive that bore civilian casualties.
By the looks of it, the CPP has been the one denying themselves of passive reforms. They subject themselves to open talks while continuing to arm their militias across the provinces that “open-fire” on government troops. In fact, in one document enclosing the message of JOMA Sison on CPP-supported organizations, he was directly stating that reform could only be achieved with armed assaults against the instituted Republic.
To quote JOMA insisted the following - “Relative to the revolutionary objective of making a fundamental transformation of current Philippine society, the main form of struggle is armed revolution. But this form of struggle can be stronger and much more effective when complemented and reinforced by legal forms of struggle. The armed and legal forms of struggle are interactive and help each other in the advance of the revolutionary movement”.
No wonder the CPP continues to castigate the government for the suspension of talks while they on one hand negate from ceasefire and bent on conducting indiscriminate wrestle against the AFP.
Who then is disinterested with the peace talks? JASIG had been prematurely implemented by the government to create a far conducive arena for the CPP to start the channel of non-violent conciliation. But has this stopped their offensives, when only a month after, another army vehicle passing along pres. Roxas Cotabato was hit by one of its implanted landmines? Who is JOMA kidding when he asserted in Tribune that the fluidity of talks between the Communist army and the government had to be blamed on Gloria’s affairs? When the facts on hand will lead the public to ascertain that the CPP is the one unfit to put substance on their agreements. They are clearly putting-up a ploy for the advancement of their cause that had been no less than pursuing an all-out-war veiled under its lawful tricks.

PEACE TALKS TO COST A LEG AND AN ARM
The cat is finally out of the bag. The National Democratic Front which fronts as the negotiator for the Communist Party of the Philippines in an on again-off again peace talk with the government is a narcissistic organization. First, they demanded the reinstatement of the Joint Agreement on Safety and Immunity Guarantees (JASIG) which the government subsequently acquiesced to and granted on July 17. In response to this, the armed unit of the CPP, the New People’s Army, attacked an Isuzu Canter truck in Toboso, Negros Occidental promptly killing three young civilians and wounding several others. Second, they demanded the unconditional release from jail of twelve incarcerated so-called NDF consultants who were all facing criminal charges and which the government satisfied by granting freedom to first Elizabeth Principe on July 21 and later to Randall Echaniz. And now, they are demanding an investigation on the alleged disappearance of 13 rebel consultants as a confidence-building measure from the government.
Ordinary observers would even agree that recent developments into the hanging peace talks are all to the CPP’s advantage, what with its leadership doing all the demanding and the government doing all the giving all in the name of this so-called confidence building measures. Despite granting the CPP’s wishes, it was recently discovered that there have been no letup in NPA-initiated atrocities in various parts of the country since the JASIG was lifted. Just recently, a 40-strong NPA group burned two trucks owned and used by DOLE-Stanfilco in hauling bananas in Sitio Surigaonon in Barangay Camanlangan in Tagum City while another group composed of 50 rebels attacked a CAFGU camp in Barangay Cancaiyas in Catbalogan City, mortally wounding a civilian in the process.
Aside from these attacks, the NPAs have also consistently killed civilians for no apparent reason. Their most recent victim include a President of the Barangay Defense System, Dominasio Abrera, of Barangay Cumadcad in Castilla, Sorsogon who was killed on August 29, 2009.
The peace talks should not be all for the taking of the CPP. They, too, should give something in return. They too should show some level of sincerity and effort in calling for the resumption of peace negotiations with the government. They have already demanded and were given a lot and now it should be the government’s turn to ask.

MURDERER ELIZABETH PRINCIPE, FREE AGAIN! “Fruits of Substandard Justice”
New People’s Army (NPA) in Cagayan rejoices in the height of the controversial released of its leader Elizabeth Principe alias Ka Binay under the implementation of the Joint Agreement on Safety and Immunity Guarantees (JASIG). JASIG or the supposed immunity guarantees doled-out by the government to pull the CPP-NPA back on the negotiating table is obviously doing more harm than good.
Principe, who is charged for robbery with murder under Branch 30 of RTC Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya left detention in wide smile knowing ofcourse that the cases filed against her would slowly be ruled-out with her newly-acquired “immunity” from the country’s laws. She was also the founder of the feared “Hukumang Bayan” that embrace kangaroo rulings and subjects summary execution all across Isabela and Cagayan.
Frankly speaking, the exploratory talks were for the benefit of both sides (government and the Communist Party). But the way the public weighs it, the negotiations are far advantageous on the CPP-NPA who by now is clearly making the most of the immunities their having. The handcuffed military and police steer clear on engaging armed engagements or even seizure of notorious guerilla leaders like Principe to presumably smoothen the course of the negotiation. However, the witty cadres are doing the opposite. For example the NPA-Negros’ show of force in Negros Occidental that killed 3 civilians and injured 3 others despite the re-enforcement of ceasefire and JASIG.
More or less, the release of Principe signaled an excuse for the CPP-NPA to go indiscriminate firefights that pays no attention to civilian casualties. Besides, being charged with murder and the same won’t hold water in court since their immunities under JASIG are acknowledged by law. They could kill whoever they choose in whichever place they please at whatever circumstances. JASIG simply loosened a mad dog that this government is stupidly trying to tame.
If the CPP-NPA-NDF were to live their supposed objective of getting peaceful reform, they would have totally disarmed themselves and embrace the folds of the law. But that would rather be unlikely. JOMA, for one, would never sell his freedom and live-up to the crimes he had done. He simply knew his crimes were far too horrifying for the public to forgive and forget. Like Joma who had ordered the deaths of thousands of civilian, military and erring cadres; Principe and others like him in the guerilla zones are as well guilty of high crimes like “genocide” in Northern Luzon. Would you really think they’d surrender to get persecuted when they can roam freely?
Setting loose a point-blank criminal is a detesting package wrapped under the thin “linen” of JASIG and the “unrealistic” peace talks between JOMA’s Reds. Is this the kind of peace we ought to achieve?

DAGLING PAGLIMOT SA KRIMEN NG CPP-NPA MAKATAO PA BA?
Hindi lingid sa publiko ang maya’t-mayang pagbaliktad ng Partido Komunista at ng armadong sangay nitong New People’s Army sa negosasyon para kapayapaan. Sa simula ng panungkulan ni Gloria apat na beses na pumalya ang pakikipag-usap ng pamahalaan dulot na din ng sari-saring paglabag ng naturang rebeldeng grupo. Noong taong 2001, tumalikod sa “negotiating table” sina Jose maria Sison matapos na mapaloob sa US at EU “watchlist of terrorist”. Naging basehan kasi sa naturang pagleleybel sa CPP-NPA matapos nitong pangunahan ang malawakang pangingikil sa mga lokal at foreign-led investments sa bansa, political killings tulad na din ng pagpatay ng grupo kay Cagayan Congressman Rodolfo Aguinaldo, Hunyo a-singko ng taon ding yun at ang lantarang pagtangkilik at pagsuporta ng grupo sa mga krimeng pinangungunanhan ng Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) sa Mindanao.
Ang pangalawang “impasse” o antala sa negosasyon ay ang hiling ng CPP-NPA na pakawalan ang mga nadakip na lider at miyembro nito sa buong bansa na nakakulong sa mga salang multiple-murder, gun-robbery at maging ng illegal possession of explosives paraphernalia at high-powered firearms. Ang mga naturang suspek ay gustong ipasok ng Partido Komunista sa JASIG program o ang Joint Agreement on Safety and Immunity Guarantees. Kung iisipin, ang mga aktibong miyembro lang ng National Democratic Front o NDF na hindi pumapaloob sa armadong rebolusyon ng NPA ang dapat na sumailalim sa naturang pribilehiyo; lalo na ng mga kasapi sa negotiation panel.
Sa panimula kasi ng pormal na negosayon, nagbibigay ang NDF panel ng mga aliases na dapat ay makilahok sa negosasyon at dapat na bigyan ng immunity o JASIG. Random ang mga aliases na ito walang kasiguruhan na di ginagamit ng iisang miyembro lamang ng Partido Komunista. Kaya naman sa tuwing may nahuhuling malalaking opisyales ng NPA, dinadahilan ng NDF Panel na illegal ang naturang pag-aresto dahil kasama ito sa mga taong may alias na nakapaloob sa JASIG agreement. Kaya naman, tulad ng inaasahan naaabuso na naman ang usaping pangkapayapaan.
Sa kabila nito, nagawa pa ring palagpasin ng estado ang tila walang kaabog-abog na panlilinlang ng kampo ni Sison at Luis Jalandoni. Kaya naman sa muling paghatak ng gobyerno sa naturang grupo noong taong 2004 at 2008, muli na namang nilatag ng CPP ang muling pagpapalaya sa mga kasamahan kasama na ang pagsasabisa ng JASIG. Ang mas baluktot na kahihinatnan sa usaping ito ang patuloy na pagtaas ng antas ng CPP-orchestrated crimes sa bansa. Paunang biktima ng mga ito ang mga walang kalaban-labang Magsasaka at maging ng mga Indegenous tribes sa kalakhang Cordillera at South-Central Mindanao.
At ngayon nga, sa muling pagbubukas ng usaping pangkapayapaan hindi masamang uliratin ng publiko ang nagawang pagsasabisa ng JASIG o immunity program sa Komunistang grupo. Hindi nga ba nahuhulog sa tiyempo ng CPP-NPA ang JASIG sa kanilang anunsiyo ng all-out na opensiba kontra military? Suma total, sa mahigit dalawang-linggong pagpapatupad ng JASIG mayroon nang nailathalang labing-limang pang-haharass, liquidations at pagpapasabog ng mga pribadong establishyemento sa bansa. Kaloob na diyan ang insidente sa Negros Occidental na ikinamatay ng tatlong sibilyan at ikinasugat ng tatlo pa noong ika-atrese ng Hulyo.
Ito ba ang mga taong nais nating bigyan ng immunity laban sa saligang batas?

Peace Talk for NDF-GRP, Justice Denied for NPA Victims?
The resumption of the Joint Agreement on Safety and Immunity Guarantees or (JASIG) to create a conducive arena for the Communist Party’s National Democratic Front (NDF) to participate on the peace talks was more of a “prostitution” of democratic rights other than “foundation” of unison minds. How could the state trust the Reds’ sincerity on peace when it is by far asking for a negotiation while its armed guerilla fronts continue to sow fear across the country.
People are not ignorant to notice how the CPP-NPA-NDF made-sue of the peace talks to recuperate their troops. Back in Leyte, civilians are far more horrified during the course of the negotiations other than the declared all-out offensive. At time of affirmed stand-down, the rebels move freely from one barangay to the next without the fear of being caught. They utterly believe that the military were emasculated during the course of the entire bargaining agreement that they simply won’t move a muscle. By that time, civilians are quietly harassed. Their homes were looted. Their young and able sons were recruited. Their barangay halls are turned into open-Communist workshops were NDF personalities preside the onset mass “Marxist baptism”.
The conditions now were no different to the ones we had before. The GRP-NDF is settling the Netherlands while the cadres look for possible ways to point the fist blame of the talks’ violation to the military. Come to think of it, how could we possibly convince ourselves that they were sincere with their peaceful resolve when the Communist Party in the country are on “full alert” or else “armed” and ready?
In fact, on July 8th the CPP-NPA scored big time in its various armed engagements specifically the extortion-related harassment of the personnel working for JERA Construction in Brgy. Nadawisan, Cataingan, Masbate after its management declared a no-negotiation policy on its set-up revolutionary taxes collection. Furthermore, last July 6th around (30) armed NPA guerilla fighters harassed the resident of Sitio Kalampigan, Brgy. Guilanhguilang, Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon. They even made a “statement” among the civilians by opening fire on Jimmy Yabut, who was later rushed to the N. Mindanao Medical Center.
Other than that, about (20) other armed NPA rebels under Southern Mindanao Regional Committee (SMRC) disarmed and took-over the Sta. Josefa Municipal Station in Agusan del Sur last July 1st. The said rebel-group successfully robbed the MPS with around five (5) high powered firearms. The attack came despite the indiscriminate altercations and bombings threats in the said region by the armed Moro Islamic Liberation Front. So far, the CPP-NPA was pretty good at helping the MILF cold-blooded commanders.
JASIG is the best excuse to have all these crimes swept under the rag. It would be “ready-to-eat” parlay where the CPP-NPA hopes to escape the long arms the law.
