RESEARCHERS NATIGOK NA NAMAN SA LABANAN?

Sa kabilang dako ng Negros, lima ang napatay na mga NPA sa isang bagong labanan kontra sa tropa ng Philippine Army noong ika-16 ng Mayo 2026.

May nakuhang M60 GPMG, M16 at M14 Rifle, pati M203 Gr***de Launcher.

Ang inaantabayanan namin ngayon ay kung sino na naman ang ideklarang mga "Reseachers" at ihanay na "bayani" sa mga eskwelahan na pinanggalingan nila.

Inaabangan din namin kung uubra pa rin yong bilasa na propaganda.

P.S. Kilalanin nyo yang mga pasimuno sa pang-rekrut at pagpadala ng mga "researchers" papunta sa hanay ng NPA. Sila nagpahamak sa mga bata, sila pa yong nagpapabida para walang pananagutan sa mga magulang ng mga biktima. 😡

If we were to believe the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (CPP-NPA) and their supporters here in the United States, their revolutionary movement continues to enjoy the support of the Filipino masses.

This is one of their come-ons for unsuspecting Filipino-American youth who they are able to manipulate into going to the Philippines and make a difference in the lives of the poor Filipino people by joining the NPA.

CPP cadres based in the US will, of course, not tell
those they were able to convert that whatever is left of the NPA is constantly on the run and that the Filipino masses who they say they are trying to free from the shackles of poverty and oppression have rejected the godless ideology that they have desperately been trying to peddle.

If the CPP-NPA still holds sway in Negros Occidental, then their April 19 encounter with government forces in the town of Toboso would not have happened at all. If they had the support of the masses, the 19 NPA rebels, including the two American activists, would most likely still be alive today.

Proof that the NPA has lost the trust and support of the people they claim to be fighting for was how their encampment was located. It was not a case of government forces just stumbling upon the NPA position while on patrol—they were actually led there by civilians who want nothing to do with rebels who have been behind the campaign of terror that left dead more than 40 civilians—all suspected to be government spies.

Government forces also did not catch up with the fleeing rebels after six hours by chance. It was also ordinary civilians who told the government troops the area near the fishponds where the rebels were hiding, triggering a series of gun battles that resulted in their deaths.

And then, there is the Municipal Council of Toboso, which recently issued a resolution declaring the CPP-NPA as persona non grata (unwelcome) in their northern Negros municipality.

"(This) expresses the strong condemnation of the local government against insurgency and affirms its support for peace-building initiatives and lawful governance," the resolution said.

Filipino-American youth should think twice before allowing themselves to be convinced by CPP cadres in the US to go to the Philippines to join the NPA to help liberate the Filipino people. Filipino-American youth should be made to realize the NPA is a spent force that does not have the support of the Filipino people.

Fr. Ranhilio Aquino, in a column on The Manila Times, expounded on the effects of the communist insurgency on Filipino communities, especially in the provinces, where armed “rebels” perpetrate attacks and endanger civilian lives.

“The ineluctable fact is that, its persistence notwithstanding, the CPP-NPA has failed to win over the population. Their point just does not stick,” wrote the author. “It is undeniable that they have resorted to banditry: extorting from families, exacting ‘revolutionary taxes’ and burning facilities — such as cellphone sites and towers — when their demands are not met.”
