The 2010 elections will mark anew in the history of the Philippine Revolutionary left because of CPP’s obvious attempt to reverse its outmoded strategy with the formation of MAKABAYAN coalition for 2010 elections. Although the CPP leadership does not categorically say so, the movement seems to be in the verge of paradigm shifting from armed struggle into electoral struggle with the formation of the MAKABAYAN. The shift is highly possible because for 40 years of existence, the movement still fails to convert the Philippines into a communist state under its conventional armed struggle over any other forms of revolutionary struggle. The formation of MAKABAYAN is an indication that the CPP has been seriously venturing into the mainstream politics utilizing the political parties that would coalesce with them. The victories of the CPP-MAKABAYAN-supported candidates will give the movement a bulk of opportunities to creep into government machineries and participate in governance.
Although we see the scenario as a desperate move on the part of the CPP leadership, this may however irrepressible once they succeeded in placing their comrades in the government. That is why the MAKABAYAN is now pursuing the candidacy of Satur Ocampo, Teddy Casiño and Liza Maza in the Senate. It is ironic because Satur, Teddy and Liza who just rose and made popular in joining the rallies and demonstrations, are now seeking to become Senators of the Republic of the Philippines in the guise of reforming the government. How can they transform a government that has been their subject of destruction for decades? And the worse is they are now seeking to continue their masquerade in the Senate.
The question now lies on what will happen to the New People’s Army who devoted long years of their lives fighting for the Party’s ideology and belief. Will their sacrifices be put in vain when Ocampo, Casiño and Maza are already at the Senate? The NPAs are the ones who sacrifice so much for the CPP’s principle and aspiration because they gamble their lives during ambushes and encounters and always at the frontline persuading the people to join the movement. Despite their effort however, it is Ocampo, Casino and Maza who have benefited most out of the CPP. Will they just allow Ocampo, Casino and Maza to continue to use the CPP for their political ambitions?
Another important question will now be on the Filipino people whether they like Ocampo, Casiño and Maza to continue impairing democracy in the Senate or end their disastrous political fate by non-voting them in May 2010 elections. We must be mindful that these individuals whatever positions they may have in the government, they will continue to oppose any government building efforts regardless of whoever the President is. Their effort will end only when the Filipino people get united in 2010 elections to totally prevent them from entering into any elective position in the government. The 2010 election would be very decisive because aside from electing the 15th president of the republic, the CPP through the MAKABAYAN openly endorse candidates for elective posts which put the country’s democracy institution at peril.

ARMADONG GRUPO NI SATUR, KINONDENA SA BICOL
Isang daang (100) manggagawa ng Sunwest Water & Electricity Co (Suweco) sa Barangay Solong sa bayan ng San Miquel, Catanduanes ang nawalan ng trabaho nang umatake ang mahigit 20 armadong rebelde sa ginagawang Solong mini-hydroelectric power plant sa nasabing lugar nitong nakaraang Setyembre 7, 2009 lamang. Ayon sa ulat, ang mga rebelde ay umatake pagkatapos humingi ng ilang daang libong piso mula sa pamunuan ng Suweco na kanila namang bigong nakuha mula sa nasabing kompanya.
Ang naturang insidente ay isa nanamang dagdag sa humahabang listahan ng mga krimen ng NPA at mga katunayan na sadyang hindi mapagkakatiwalaan ang New People’s Army at ang liderato ng Communist Party of the Philippines patungkol sa usaping pangkapayapaan. Ang mga kompanyang ito na nagiging instrumento upang magkaroon ng pag-unlad sa ilang barangay sa rehiyon ay hindi dapat inaatake ng mga NPA bagkus ay dapat tinutulungan pa nila dahil ang ginagawang dam ang magiging daan upang magkaroon ng mababang elektrisidad ang ating mga kapatid na Bicolanos.
Ngayon, hindi lamang ang pag-unlad ng San Miguel ang nalagay sa alanganin kung hindi ultimo hanap buhay ng 100 nating kababayan sa Bicol ay kanila na ring dinala sa peligro, ito ay upang makapangikil lamang sa mga kompanyang tulad ng Suweco.
Dahil sa nasabing insidente ay dapat lang na pag isipang mabuti ng gobyerno ang pakikipag negosasyon nito sa mga rebelde sa usaping pangkapayapaan. Ang patuloy na pagpatay at pag atake ng CPP-NPA sa mga walang kalaban laban nating mga kababayan ay nagpapakita lamang ng kawalan ng sinseridad at puso ng CPP-NPA upang tuluyang magkaroon ng kapayapaan at makinabang ang mamamayan.
Bukod dito, nagiging mas malinaw para sa atin na paniwalaan na ang tanging hangad ng mga miyembro ng CPP-NPA ay ang pabagsakin ang ating bansa sa pusali dahil ang kanilang ginawang pag-atake sa Bgy Solong, San Miguel ay malinaw na halimbawa ng tinatawag na economic sabotage.
Sa mga nakaupo sa ating gobyerno at mga miyembro ng Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process o OPAPP, pakinggan nyo nawa ang panawagan na itigil nyo muna ang pagbibigay sa kung ano-anong kondisyon na hinihingi ng mga CPP-NPA at kanilang naatasang mga negosyador hangga’t hindi napapatunayan na kapayapaan nga ng bansa ang kanilang tunay na hangad at hindi pansariling interes lamang.

MAKABAYAN: OPENSIBANG GERILYA PARA SA BALOTA
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.

A LONG JOURNEY OF MAKABAYAN
The Pulse Asia released its latest survey on the senatorial preferences for the upcoming 2010 elections. It was conducted from July 28 to August 10, 2009 with a number of 1,800 respondents. As a result, Senator Jinggoy Estrada topped the firm’s survey if elections were held today. Estrada got an amazing number of votes gaining half of the percentage votes (50.2%). The survey results showed the 14 out of the 71 aspirants who have a possible chance of winning the Senate seats.
The possible elected senatorial candidates are as follow: Senator Mar Roxas(48%) came in second rank followed by Pia Cayetano (46.6%), Bong Revilla (46.4%), Franklin Drilon (46.3%), Miriam Santiago (45.2%), Jamby Madrigal (38.9%), Ralph Recto (37.6%), Jejomar Binay (37.5%), Koko Pimentel (36.1%), Edu Manzano (34.9%) and Juan Ponce Enrile (32.1%).
Considering the top 12 possible winners of the senatorial seats, the MAKABAYAN senatorial candidates need to soar high as they landed almost near the last spot. According to the result, Bayan Muna Representative Satur Ocampo got 4.8% votes while Bayan Muna Representative Teddy Casiňo only got 3% votes.
A year ago, the same survey has been made by Issues and Advocacy Center. It showed that among 1,200 respondent Ocampo had 9% votes, Casiňo has 5% votes while Maza has 4% votes.
It is clearly seen that MAKABAYAN candidates got the least possibility of winning the senatorial race yet they are still confident enough to continue what they have started. Ocampo and group are in pursuit of power that can be attained by winning a senatorial seat. However, as the survey suggests they need to have another strategy in getting a position in the government. Therefore, they have resorted to negotiating with presidential hopefuls by offering 2M command votes from their alleged supporters for the 2010 elections in exchange of 5 assured cabinet posts. No sure candidate would actually fall for this, of course.
More troubling perhaps is the actual candidacy of Ocampo. No one seems to be against his candidacy in the senatorial race even though he clearly has not shown a stand against denouncing the issue of armed struggle of the Communist Party of the Philippines. In fact, he is outrightly embracing and promoting the idea as a complement to the legal struggle of his party. In present day Philippines, is there really a place for armed struggle? Shouldn’t our senators promote peace and unity instead of violence and war?

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.

ALL-OUT ANG BENTAHAN NG BOTO SA MAKABAYAN
Matunog na ugong-ugong ngayon ang pagtanggi ni Mar Roxas sa alok ni MAKABAYAN senatorial candidate-Satur Ocampo na 2 milyong boto kapalit ng posisyon sa gabinete at Senate Chairmanships. Ang 2 milyon ding ito na naging daan para mailuklok ang Bayan Muna, Anakpawis at GABRIELA sa Kongreso ang siya ngang binebenta ni Ocampo sa napipintong standard-bearer ng Partido Liberal.
Stratehiya ito ng MAKABAYAN alinsunod na din sa mga naibulgar na dokumento ng Komunistang grupong- CPP. Ang ugnayan ng MAKABAYAN na binuo na din ng mga militanteng Partylist Groups ng bansa sa CPP ay tuluyan na ngang nadiskubre mula nang maglaan ng isang bilyong piso ang Partido Komunista para sa pangangampanya ng mga senatoriables na sina Satur Ocampo, Liza Masa, Rafael Mariano at Teddy Casiño. Liban sa makinaryang pinansiyal na mahuhuthot ng grupo nina Ocampo sa Genuine Opposition (GO), malaking tulong din ang pagbubukas ng mga bakuran nito para makahagip din ng botante mula sa mga tinaguriang masa ni Erap.
Ngunit may garantiya nga bang tutupad sa usapan ang MAKABAYAN? Kung iisipin, nabuo ang MAKABAYAN batay daw sa isinusulong na “No to TRAPOs in Power”. Dahilan dito, hindi maiaalis na pagdudahan ang animo dagling paglilipat-bakod ng mga tinaguriang militanteng grupo tulad ng Bayan Muna sa pwersang GO. TRAPOs din naman kasing maituturing ang karamihan sa mga ito. Stratehiya dala ng paninigurado ang ginagawang pag-aanib pwersa ng MAKABAYAN sa mga partidong politikal na naitampok sa itaas. Ang mga ito kasi, hirap mang aminin, ay may tiyak nang pinanggagalingan ng suporta sa bansa. Isang bagay na kinukulang ang MAKABAYAN.
Ang masama pa, napag usap-usapan na rin ng mga miyembro ng MAKABAYAN at maging ng Partido Komunista ang tahasang pagtalikod sa kasunduang 2 milyong boto. Bagkus, ang apat na senador lamang ng MAKABAYAN ang ilalagda nito sa balota. Ano nga ba naman ang mahihita nina Erap, Roxas at Villar gayong isa lang naman ang mailalatag na presidente ng bawat isa sa 2 milyong botante ng MAKABAYAN. Sa madaling sabi, pain lang ang malaking bilang na ito at tila kasunduang nilagdaan sa tubig ang mangyayari. Liban pa riyan ang napipintong laglagan sa pagitan ng GO para lang ma-ipwesto sina Ocampo.
Ang pagbebenta ng boto o maging ng botante ay lantad na gawain ng TRAPO. Marahil hindi na nga bago ang maduming larong ito sa mga kandidato ng MAKABAYAN bagkus bagay pa na nais nilang palalain. Ang paghahangad nila ng posisyon sa gabinete kapalit ng pagkatalo sa senado ay tulad na rin ng ipinupukol nilang pagbabalak ni Gloria na maupong Kongresista ng Pampanga matapos ang termino nito sa 2010. Malala nga lang ang MAKABAYAN dahil walang pakundangan ito sa panggugulang at panloloko di lang sa mga taga-Oposisyon kundi na rin sa publiko.
Stratehiya ito ng MAKABAYAN alinsunod na din sa mga naibulgar na dokumento ng Komunistang grupong- CPP.

Malala nga lang ang MAKABAYAN dahil walang pakundangan ito sa panggugulang at panloloko di lang sa mga taga-Oposisyon kundi na rin sa publiko.
