For this month alone, a total of 15 civilians have fallen prey to the claws of local members of New People’s Army in Mindanao. These attacks which were mainly instigated against known tribal leaders in the provinces of Compostela Valley, Davao del Norte, Agusan del Sur and Davao del Sur was now being categorically denounced by members of the Davao-based Mindanao Indigenous Peoples Conference for Peace and Development or MIPCPD which had only conducted an IP Summit on Human Rights Violations perpetrated by NPA elements in Mindanao last year in Davao City. Victims of the NPAs’ most recent killing spree include:
a.Mandaya Tribe leader Datu Florillo “Liling” Andersan who was ambushed and peppered with bullets while already bleeding to death on the ground by five armed rebels in Brgy Salvacion, Monkayo, ComVal Province on July 7;
b.Tribal leader Datu Dado Piag who was publicly killed inside a billiard hall at Brgy Pasian, Monkayo without any provocation on July 9;
c.Tribal leaders Datu Luzmindo Behing and Datu Gonzalo Quillano who were ambushed by rebels on July 20 in Poblacion Sibagat in Agusan del Norte with the former succumbing to death and Quillano still in critical condition at the MJ Hospital in Butuan City;
d.Tribal Chieftain Feliciano “Datu Oloy” Ador who was strafed with bullets by motorcycle-riding men at Brgy Cabaywa, Poblacion Asuncion in Davao del Norte on July 20;
e.Tribal leader and former Barangay Chairman Datu Canuto Lumbayon together with four other companions were ambushed by more than 20 fully armed rebels at Sitio Pamagtingon, Brgy Salaysay, Marilog District, Davao City on July 24. Datu Lumbayon together with two other civilians were killed while another is still fighting for his life at the Davao Medical Center;
f.Tribal leader and also La Paz Municipal Administrator Datu Lauro Mordeno together with five others were attacked by fully armed rebels at Crossing Mabuya, Km 6, La Paz. Two of the tribal leader’s companions were critically wounded during said ambuscade.
During the summit which was held December 2008, one of the NPA’s most recent victims, Datu Florillo “Liling” Andersan of the Mandaya Tribe was even heard commenting against the rebels’ exploitation of the Mindanao tribes’ poverty and fear of the armed group to recruit members, most of whom according to Liling were still minors. Because of these recent atrocities, leaders from the different tribes in Mindanao are now waiting for human rights groups particularly Karapatan to condemn to the fullest degree the cruelty of local NPA rebels who carried out said extrajudicial killings in Mindanao.
The leaders are afraid that these recent attacks perpetrated by the local NPAs would be a repeat of the Sarano Massacre which happened on June 25, 1989 in Davao del Sur where a church in Binato in Sarano was attacked by NPA rebels, killing a total of 38 Lumads in one strike.

CIVILIANS IN NEGROS OCCIDENTAL KILLED BY NPA "An Insight to NPA Cruelty"
In the early morning of July 13, 2009, passengers of an Isuzu Canter truck got the surprise of their lives when 30 fully armed NPA rebels swooped down from their hiding places and indiscriminately fired high-powered firearms at their vehicle. The group came from Barangay Salamanca in Toboso in the province of Negros Occidental and was on their way to town when they were waylaid by the rebels. Instantly killed during the attack were Rodolfo Salipod, the vehicle's driver, Ena Pata and high school student Edmar Sultan while three others identified as Eryl Baynosa, Ivy Recopelacion and Primitivo Lumapay were wounded. Lumapay who was merely a bystander is now in critical condition.
The incident came after Jose Maria Sison, Luis Jalandoni and Fidel Agcaoili deliberately sought out the government for a possible resumption of peace negotiations between the GRP and the National Democratic Front which represents the Communist Party of the Philippines. Ironically, backchannel talks were already held in The Netherlands on June 15, 2009 together with government representatives Nieves Confesor and Atty Segfrey Candelaria. As a goodwill gesture, the GRP panel agreed to officially lift the suspension of the Joint Agreement on Safety and Immunity Guarantees or JASIG on July 17.
The government has already proffered a goodwill gesture but the CPP is yet to prove their sincerity in seeking out the government. However, with the latest attack, one cannot help but question their sincerity and the CPP leadership’s ability to forestall any violent incursions from their armed rebel group in the countryside. How can we be sure that they will stick to their end of the bargain if as early as now we are already given an insight to their cruelty and their capacity to do dastardly acts that randomly victimizes innocent civilians such as students and mere bystanders? There should be give and take on this highly important matter and should not only be all take from the CPP.
What assurance can the CPP leadership give to us Filipinos, and our government, to make us all believe that they are now genuinely sincere in their desire for peace? For one thing, a cessation of all hostilities against soldiers outside the battle fields and their attacks on innocent civilians and private establishments would be a great start and a great proof to offer.
The CPP should not only be all talk and no action. The CPP leaders should be challenged to direct their subordinates to at least temporarily halt all kinds of atrocities in the country and for the time being lie low from attacking us civilians and from implementing their forceful ways on us. That alone will be a big enough proof for us.

MAKABAYAN, a Deception for 2010 Elections "How Should the Public Guard Itself?"
The very essence of a democratic state like the Philippines is the right given to the people to choose candidates to run for public office which can be exercised only through elections. Elections are important events to the life of every Filipino because it is where they can express their sovereign will and exercise their sacred Constitutional right of suffrage which once exercised could best decide the future of our country. They are powerful acts in putting individual in charge of our future and who can best guard our fate because of positions of powers we put them in. But, the failure to exercise these rights may cause for the emergence of tyrants who can rob our basic and fundamental rights. Of course, this will happen if we allow every attempt to vitiate our right by individuals and groups hungry for power. But, how can we best protect these rights from deception? Will we allow that these rights be subjected to abuses?
Still a year to go, the 2010 elections have been exploited by some ambitious politicians and groups dreaming to be in power. This is very obvious when even our party list representatives who purportedly the representatives of their marginalized sectors, initiated the formation of a coalition called the MAKABAYAN with anti-government elements for the alleged “genuine change” in the government. They used the so-called “people’s movement for change” to misinform the public and to make it appear that their cause is in accordance with the long yearning of the Filipino people for a change. But, in truth and in fact, the “movement for change” is a mere attraction to catch attentions of other anti-government elements particularly the political oppositions to coalesce with them purposely to topple the government.
But, what seems to be alarming is the involvement of Reps Satur OCAMPO, Teddy CASIÑO and Liza MAZA in the formation of the MAKABAYAN. When we look at these individuals we immediately come to think of the CPP whose ultimate objective is to topple the government for the establishment of communism in the Philippines. This has been an established fact that the CPP is employing deceptive tactics to attain its ultimate goal of seizing the state power. The connection of the MAKABAYAN with the CPP is evidenced when CPP Founder Joma SISON delivered a solidarity message during the MAKABAYAN launching in Apr 2009. This showed that the MAKABAYAN is a CPP-sponsored organization whose agenda, although being carried out legally, is injurious and detrimental to the State and the Filipino people.
Well, it was not surprising because the proponents of MAKABAYAN are known militant personalities. We already knew who OCAMPO, CASIÑO and MAZA are. They are our Congressmen fond of street actions using the peoples’ money as their pork barrel in supporting concerted actions against the State. They are using their positions and our own money to destroy our own country just to push their personal agenda. What more can they do if they are already in the Senate? Will we allow them to continue stepping into our endowed rights and interests?
We all know that these individuals are “talkers” who did nothing good to our country. OCAMPO was even suspected as one of the brains in the multiple murder case in Leyte. So, why we should continue to believe them? They are tormentors attempting to grab democracy from the Filipino people. Obviously, they laugh when they won at the House of Representatives for the third times. But now, they can no longer entice us because Filipinos are not idiots to continuously trusting OCAMPO et al because of their obvious connections with the CPP. It’s time to put an end to their enticement and let our voice be heard in 2010 elections. We must not tire of guarding our democracy and preserving our freedom because they have been susceptible of falling into the hands of traitors.

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?

NPA’s Hand on Melissa Roxas Abduction
New People’s Army (NPA) - Central Luzon Regional Committee (CLRC) admitted hand on the abduction of Fil-American human rights activist Melissa Roxas last May 19th in La Paz, Tarlac. The said guerilla front disclosed that Roxas’ abduction was pre-orchestrated and carried-out by said Communist faction with the “blessings” of BAYAN-USA and BAYAN-Tarlac. The act was to stimulate public outburst on supposed political crimes in the country, which would then be exploited by CPP-NPA endorsed 2010 senatoriables namely; Satur Ocampo and Teddy Casiño.
Faked Abduction
At around 10:00 in the evening of May 18th, Roxas was met by identified NPA combatants - Juanito Carabeo and John Edward Jandoc. Presumably, the two posed as civilian volunteers that were affiliated with BAYAN-Tarlac to coordinate Roxas’ stay in said province. In fact, Carabeo participated in the harassment of Orani Town Hall in Bataan last 2004; to which he incurred three standing warrants of arrest issued under CC Nr 11125 for murder by Judge Manuel Tan of RTC Br-2 dated (Feb. 01, 2008); CC Nr 11137 for rebellion/insurrection by Judge Manuel Tan of RTC Br-2 dtd (Feb. 18, 2008); and, CC Nr 11149 for rebellion/insurrection (Feb 15, 2008).
On the other hand, John Edward Jandoc was also an active Communist cadre under CLRC, whose identified parents were NPA leaders-Ana and Hilario Guio (Finance Officer of NPA Bataan). As divulged by Roxas, the two that served as her companions in said “BAYAN-sponsored trip was also taken on the eve of May 19th but was “suspiciously released the next day while she was still held in custody.
CLRC sources further unveiled that Roxas knew she would be abducted. The whole torture scheme was made-up scenario she memorized to get an audience. In fact, her earlier description of her abductors wearing camouflage was a “pushing” and deliberate sentiment that directly implicates the AFP on the fabricated incident. Even her “climactic” release, morning of May 25th, was just in time to be celebrated by around 150 newly-mobilized KARAPATAN members lobbying in front of the 7th Infantry Division.
Roxas’ Dubious Exit despite Filed Case
The quick run-off of Roxas back in the US without apparent reason that trashed two other SC hearings of her complaint was still left on murky water. Even Bayan Muna failed to explain Roxas’ wavering resolve on pursuing the case despite her internationally-highlighted outcry. If Roxas was for the uncovering of facts behind her abduction and not to simply drag the incident on the foreign arena, she would have decided to stay and look after the progress of her case.
Roxas and company were not for the truth. They are, by the looks of their actions on route to a staged “public stunt”. Trailing the judicial process was never part of their plan, which is why Roxas’ dubious “exit and entry” showed her inexplicable disinterest to the case.
