Sarsuela ng CPP-NPA-NDF

43 Years of Lies and Deceptions of the CPP-NPA-NDF

For over four decades of spreading misinformation and false promises, the CPP-NPA-NDF has finally reached the threshold of tolerance of the Filipino people. Our sensibilities are finally awakened by the culture of deception, violence, and fear that have long been perpetrated and manipulated by the communist movement. We say enough is enough. We could no longer be naïve and fall victims to the lies being spread by the CPP-NPA-NDF. No sane individual will ever believe when the NPA justified their actions of attacking and burning billions of pesos worth of mining equipment and displacing thousands of workers as mere acts “to protect the environment and defend the rights of the indigenous people”. In fact, these recent incidents have earned widespread public condemnation here and abroad.

To defuse the ever growing ire of the Filipino people, the communist movement has again resorted to the art of deception by diverting the public’s attention when they released four (4) Bureau of Jail and Management and Penology (BJMP) personnel and a municipal Mayor and his two (2) military escorts whom the NPA forcibly abducted in two separate incidents months ago in Bukidnon and Surigao del Sur respectively. It would now appear as if the victims’ families owe the CPP-NPA-NDF big time for the “humanitarian consideration” of their release. Have they ever thought that trumping the basic human rights of individuals like kidnapping, no matter how they justify it, can never gain public sympathy and support for their movement? Even the demise of their “top deceiver” (spokesperson), Ka Roger, who had died of a heart ailment months ago, was exploited by the movement in their desperate attempt to cover up their crimes and mislead the public. But the Filipino people can no longer be deceived. We will never glorify an NPA cadre who was responsible for the murders of scores of innocent persons including those from their own ranks. Not even up to his death.

For the last 43 years, what the Filipino people have experienced from the communist terrorists are senseless killings, gross violations of human rights, exorbitant extortion demands, deliberate recruitment of minors and students, summary executions, bombings and so many other atrocities. Then what makes the CPP-NPA-NDF believe that the public’s perception is still on their side? They too must be victims of their own lies and deceptions.

With the courageous and concerted effort of all peace-loving Filipinos, we are sending a clear message to the CPP-NPA-NDF. We will no longer be duped by the false promises of your fake revolution. The Filipino people will forever stand united against the culture of oppression and violence of the CPP-NPA-NDF.

And yes peeps, I call this "Sarsuela ng CPP-NPA-NDF". What else do they have to offer aside from violence? - Malayang Filipino

NPA: Insurgents or Bandits?

The New People’s Army (NPA) started out as a band of armed peasants led by Bernabe Buscayno better known as Kumander Dante. This group emerged from the past Partido Komunista ng Pilipinas (PKP)-Huk actions in the late 1960s. The residuals of the old Hukbalahap guerillas played significant roles in the establishment of this peasant armed group. Meanwhile, the communist party experienced a problem during its inception, it has no peasant base to complement its supposed peasant-led and Maoist inspired revolution. After a few months, the CPP found an ally in the Tarlac-based peasant armed group and what followed was the birth of the CPP-NPA.

After over forty years of armed struggle, the NPA has slowly lost its significance as its numbers are slowly dwindling from a peak of more than 20 thousand fighters in the mid 1980s to its present strength of just over 4,000 regular fighters, mostly new recruits. In their 2009 year-end assessment, the CPP leadership acknowledged the lack of potential political cadres as one of the major factors that led to the decline in the recruitment of regular members. Added to this, the issues that triggered the mass exodus of members and political cadres in the countryside during the Marcos regime already became non-existent in the present political situation. The general public’s awareness about the deceptive strategy of the CPP-NPA has also been more pronounced more than ever. Thanks to our soldiers, the anti-communist party-list groups and non-government organizations who continue to educate and inform the public about the communist party’s ulterior motive which is to destroy our democratic way of life and seize political power. 

 

And to ensure the survival of its guerilla units, the NPA has been engaged in atrocious criminal acts like arson, extortion (a.k.a. revolutionary taxation), and bombing of important establishments. These are done under their party line of “advancing the revolutionary struggle”. Many hardcore NPA cadres have made a profitable business and money-making scheme out of the so called “revolutionary taxation”. While the ordinary red fighters sacrifice their lives and limbs in miserable daily conditions in the countryside, their top cadres are enriching themselves while living in luxury and comfort in the cities and a few top CPP leaders abroad. Today, the CPP-NPA is no different from other syndicated crime groups who prey on big businessmen and innocent civilians to raise the needed funds and sustain their illegal criminal activities. To whether the present day NPA can still be considered an insurgent group or not is already out of the question. What is clear now is that the NPA has already mastered the art of banditry.

So what is your take people?

The NPA's desperate call for attention

I have recently came across this article at the Philippine Star, last October 6, 2011: 'Confidence-erosion measure' (http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=734375&publicationSubCategoryId=64).

How does it advance the communist cause to burn down dozens of trucks, heavy equipment and facilities of private mining companies? The New People’s Army members who attacked three mining facilities in Surigao del Norte claimed they were striking a blow for the environment. But communist China is heavily engaged in mining to meet the needs of its people. Communist Vietnam welcomes mining companies.


That attack in Surigao had nothing to do with the environment and everything to do with banditry. The mining firms refused to give in to NPA demands for “revolutionary taxes” so the attack was launched. Money handed over willingly is a donation to the communist cause; given under duress, it’s money earned from extortion. It’s plain banditry and has no place in a legitimate rebellion.


Mining companies aren’t the only victims. NPA attacks – on privately owned agricultural estates, buses, telecommunications towers – have derailed development and scared away businessmen from the places where job-generating investments are most needed. Among the 5,000 mining personnel affected in the Surigao raid were Japanese executives, and they can’t be expected to bring home positive stories about the investment climate in the Philippines.


Destruction of the capitalist economy must be a goal of any self-respecting communist. It is up to the government to preserve, protect and nurture that capitalist economy toward growth. This won’t be achieved if state security forces cannot be relied upon to protect the lives and property of non-combatants. This week Human Rights Watch condemned the continuing NPA attacks on civilians. Those attacks were made possible by poor security measures.


Security forces cannot invoke ongoing peace efforts with the communist movement in the failure to thwart the attack in Surigao. Even during a truce, government forces must maintain a defensive stance. Extortion and destruction of private property do not further any cause and must be stopped.


The attack also raises questions about the sincerity of communist leaders in pursuing peace, and the extent of their control over NPA members, especially since they live overseas and National Democratic Front leader Luis Jalandoni has acquired Dutch citizenship. A Palace official called the attack in Surigao a “confidence-erosion measure” in the peace process.


It doesn’t look good for any government to abandon peace efforts. But in pursuing peace, the government should also not abandon its responsibility to protect the public from extortion and violent attacks.

In my humble opinion, this latest attack by the NPA (New People's Army) is a desperate move to get a public attention. Let's accept the fact that common Filipino's right now could hardly hear them nor know them. They are already a thing of the past and they refuse to accept the reality. Let's accept the fact, people now are more interested in Facebook! (stop chuckling at the back.)

This act is definitely a show of mis-education from their ranks and can only be attributed to barbaric and hoodlum activities of a "headless" organization.  This is an absolute act of terrorism and no longer in sync with their cause as they use to have decades ago. This is a bold sign of defeat on the part of the CPP/NPA (with a leader who even abandoned his Filipino Citizenship).

The truth is, the Philippines could hardly get a foreign investment here that could generate jobs for many Filipinos because of the 60-40 rule in the 1987 constitution (a law that favors and protect the interest of the oligarchs). This is where the likes of Vietnam, Thailand and other Asian countries is beating the Philippines!

The truth is, if NPA is really fighting for the plight of the Filipino people, they should have not destroyed the Surigao mining company. They should have not destroyed the source of income of many Filipinos working there. This attack is not an attack in the mining company, but an attack to the rights of the Filipino people, the right to work, the right to feed and the right to live a normal and peaceful life.

The truth is, NPA does not want people from this area to get a decent source of income because this will affect their recruitment activity! They really want people to be hungry and uneducated so they can convince them to raise arms against the government!

The truth is, freedom and progress cannot be attained nor achieved from the point of the barrel of a gun!

The truth is, it is probably better for those NPA members and who ever leader asked them to attacked the Surigao mining company, to start mining a "Kamote plantation" and start a decent livelihood so even their family would have a decent meal and not asking their children to bite their bullets.

As far as I know, you cannot win a revolution by using a barbaric  and unguided ideology.

To the Filipino People, let us discuss and know what can you say about this most recent act by the NPA's. - Malayang Filipino
