The statement of Fidel Agcaoli of the National Democratic Front (NDF) dated May 30, 2010 lambasting the news story that appeared on national broadsheets regarding the abuses of the New People's Army (NPA) against children and denying the UN report that the NPA is among the "top abusers of children in war" is a proof of the deception of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP)
The UN press release dated May 21, 2010 issued in connection with the annual report to the Security Council by the Secretary General, categorically stated the NPA as one of the top abusers of children’s rights and Agcaoli is quick to refute the undeniable truth to defend the abuses of the CPP’s instrument of coercion, the NPA, in the face of mounting adverse public reaction against them.
Such denial only cements the reputation of CPP-NPA-NDF as an organization that thrives on lies and its members as masters of deception.
Child combatants surrender
In 2009, a total of 291 NPAs surrendered to the 10th Infantry Division in Southern Mindanao which includes 29 women warriors and 13 CHILD COMBATANTS!
You heard it right, 13 children whom the CPP-NPA-NDF agitated to leave their respective families, recruited and armed against the government, to engage in extortion activities and to kill fellow Filipinos. The children revealed that there are still more minors in the underground movement being employed by NPA terrorists in their war against the state.
The 13 child combatants do not include those who joined the NPA as minors and surrendered at a majority age.
This year, there were 32 NPAs who surrendered in Southern Mindanao as of June and THREE OF THEM WERE MINORS!
The most celebrated case of child warrior in Davao region is that of Zaldy Canete alias Jinggoy who surrendered to government troops after being wounded in a gunbattle.
Jinggoy narrated how he was recruited by the NPA at the age of 13; was already wielding an M16 assault rifle at the age of 16 and figured in many high profile terroristic actions against the people since then. He was involved in many cases of kidnappings, arson, murders and extortions before his surrender after the bloody encounter February of this year. Jinggoy is now 23 years old.
Such ploy in denying the truth of their abuse of children, only works for the international audience who cannot readily verify the truth but even such masterfully conjured lie will not work for people in the local scene where everyone knows exactly what really is happening.
The facts stated only shows that Agcaoili miserably failed in lying and defending their abuses against the children, against the people and against the truth.
Their lies only rubs salt on the psychological wounds and emotional pains which these children suffered on their hands as dictated by the callous minds of their party leaders in violating the Comprehensive Agreement on Respect for Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law (CARHRIHL) on the protection of children from physical and mental abuse.
Their complete denial despite overwhelming evidences insults the intelligence of the reading public, the Filipino people and the International Community.
We challenge Fidel Agcaoili and the whole CPP-NPA-NDF to refute the facts presented so that the truth will explode on their faces and cut the patience of the people on their continued lies.
Murder of innocent civilians and children
The CPP-NPA-NDF is not only guilty of abusing minors but is also more culpable in the wanton killings of innocent civilians including children and unarmed government troops thru its death squads.
In 2009 alone, the NPA murdered 83 individuals in Southern Mindanao. Fifty two of those they killed were innocent civilians. Who knows? Some of these murders might have been carried out by the same minors recruited and employed by the NPA in following the dictates of the CPP.
This year, six innocent civilians including 13 year-old girl Memilyn Moreno of Boston town in Davao Oriental Province were killed in their terroristic attacks against communities, infrastructure projects and business establishments. Even election officials were not spared when they ambushed a group of Board of Election Inspectors, poll watchers and soldiers who are proceeding to the Municipal canvassing area in Maragusan town in Compostela Valley Province.
The incident called by people as “Maragusan massacre” took the lives of five individuals, wounded a dozen people and left deep psychological trauma and emotional anguish to 31 others who were subjected to the pain of witnessing the carnage while bullets hissing their heads slaughter the man next to them.
Unite against impunity and lies
The continued impunity and mass murder of human beings in the hands of NPA terrorists in Southern Mindanao cements the national perception on the inhuman and evil character of their murderous organization as it strengthens the worldwide reputation of communists as harbinger of disaster and omen of death.
We are a peace-loving nation known for our rightful virtues, respect to our elders and fear in God. However we look at such disdainful attitude and catastrophic level of motive of the NPA terrorists, we cannot see even a grain of love or a shadow of respect to anyone save for their love of money brought by their massive organized extortion activities which outline their real motive in waging an atrocious war guised in a protracted peoples’ struggle. Their only fear is losing the money they collect from large business establishments, small entrepreneurs and ordinary citizens in the countryside.
We call on our people to shout in unison against abuses which the CPP-NPA-NDF commits against children and against our citizens. Our people must bond against such impunity and orchestrated mass murders against the citizenry so that the united voices of the masses will reverberate in every corner of the region, the country and perhaps the whole world and shake the callous base of the godless CPP-NPA-NDF terrorists and all their front organizations in every sector and levels of the society.
The youth needs more than empty promises of an egalitarian society by those who trample the very foundation of the rights of the children.
Our children must be protected!
