Two-faced scheme
The Arroyo regime's unilateral ceasefire declaration is a deceptive scheme. The regime has no intention of stopping relentless military operations against units of the New People's Army (NPA) in various guerrilla fronts nationwide. The AFP and PNP conduct their counterrevolutionary military operations in the guise of launching "police operations."
In fact, two Red fighters were killed when the 11th IB's Charlie Coy attacked an NPA unit on December 20 in Hacienda Emma, Barangay Camang-Camang, Isabela, Negros Occidental. A soldier was killed and six were wounded on the AFP side.
That same day, the 17th IB conducted operations in four barrios of Baggao, Cagayan. On December 16, elements of the 5th Scout Rangers Regiment engaged NPA guerrillas in Agusan del Sur. The 16th IB is also undertaking military operations in Sta. Cruz, Mindoro Occidental.
These are just a few of the military operations presently being launched by the AFP in various parts of the country. The Arroyo regime declared a ceasefire from December 16, 2004 to January 5, 2005.
