BAYAN and its sectoral groups are CPP’s puppet!

A Press Statement by the Alliance for Nationalism and Democracy (ANAD)
November 10, 2006

The deafening silence of the so-called “progressives”, “militant”, and “activists” on the violations  of human rights and other international conventions on the protection and preservation of life committed by the Maoist communist CPP-NPA-NDF only shows that they are one and conjoined by the same ideology, intentions, and interests.

These sectoral organizations never raised the issue on the following high profile violations committed by the Maoist communist NPA:

Unabashed and continued recruitment of minors by the CPP-NPA to fight the government and its security forces. The NPA’s use of minors to kill soldiers and civilians has been blatantly displayed in public view. Revelations by arrested NPA and those who returned back to the folds of the law vividly shows that recruitment of minors are easily done because fear can easily be instilled and minors immediately cowers under the pains of being killed once they refuse. The treacherous murder of an unarmed soldier in a market place in Kananga, Leyte, in front of the victim’s family is living proof of the Maoist communist reprehensible character. The many minor NPA warriors killed during military operations and NPA attacks have been undocumented because withdrawing NPA guerrillas bring along their dead or wounded comrades. Yet these sectoral groups, particularly KARAPATAN and BAYAN have manifested strong support and adherence to the many international conventions that prohibits the use of minors in all forms of warfare.

The ban on the use of landmines by several international agreements is blatantly violated by the NPAs resulting in the injury of many civilians in Tago, Surigao del Sur; and other parts of the country. Their claim of using command-detonated land mines only was greatly demolished when a PNP personnel was blown to pieces after stepping on a landmine, in Compostela town, Compostela Valley province, recently. Nonetheless, the same revelations by arrested NPAs or surrenderees showed that indeed the NPA is committed not to comply with the international prohibition statutes because the different CPP-NPA-NDF fronts, all over the country, are stockpiling more than enough quantity of landmines, detonating cords, and blasting caps to be used against government and civilian targets.

The unabated sexual abuse committed by many NPA commanders against women guerrillas remains and continue to happen without sanction from their so-called leadership. This shows the low state of morality that the Maoist communist CPP-NPA-NDF is founded and stands on!

The murder of civilians, especially those who refused to tow the Maoist communist line; their own peers whom they perceived to be military informers or government spies; and many leaders and members of their own sectoral organizations suspected to be counter-revolutionaries, continues. Yet these sectoral organizations have the gull and heart to put the blame on the government instead of sending a loud cry of protest against the real perpetrators – the Maoist communist CPP-NPA-NDF! For this reason alone, they refused to cooperate by submitting their so-called evidences and proofs to the appropriate agency tasked to investigate these murders. Rather, they resort to black propaganda to fan the flames of hate against the duly constituted government institutions of our country.

BAYAN and all of its sectoral organizations are like puppets hanging on the string awaiting their masters’ like Jose Ma. Sison, Luis Jalandoni, Fidel Agcaoili, Jorge Madlos, and others, to pull the strings for their acts to commence. Simply put, when the CPP leadership orders them to stir the community’s emotions against the government, just like any dog eager to please his master, BAYAN’s tail easily wiggles in compliance!

For quite sometime, the Alliance for Nationalism and Democracy (ANAD) has warned all peace and freedom loving Filipinos to be wary against the malevolent designs and character of the Maoist CPP-NPA-NDF.  Nevertheless, ANAD is now comfortable that BAYAN and all the sectoral organization under its umbrella have thrown away the cloak of deception and lies that they had been putting on since its inception in the early 80’s.

Now the line is drawn between those who would really stand for the defense and preservation of our country’s democracy and freedom as against those whose sole vision is to foment chaos and economic destruction leading to our country’s democratic demise and replacing it with a dictatorship by the ruling communist elite.
