Masses rejoice at Colonel Aguinaldo's punishment

 Basahin ang artikulong ito sa Pilipino

Only a few minutes after a team from the NPA's Fortunato Camus Command punished Col. Rodolfo Aguinaldo, news travelled far and wide. For the thousands of victims of Aguinaldo's brutality, there could be no better news than the imposition of the death penalty on the hated fascist and scourge.

Aguinaldo was a former PC colonel turned politician, who was dubbed the "vulture of Cagayan". But he was better known throughout the country for his long and bloody counterrevolutionary and antipeople record as a leading violator of human rights, torturer and butcher of political prisoners and other revolutionaries and masses.

He is the archetype of the reviled enemy, rabidly antipeople and counterrevolutionary, anticommunist and militarist. On the other hand, Aguinaldo was a hero to the imperialists, big landlords and compradors.

He paid for his many blood debts against the revolutionary movement and the people on the night of June 12, 2001, right in his "stronghold" in Tugue garao City. His punishment has long been much desired by the people.

Colonel Aguinaldo devoted his life to defending the rotten ruling system. And he did so in the most decadent, vilest and most despicable ways. For a long time, Aguinaldo sowed fascist terror and unleashed dirty psywar tactics against the people of Cagayan, Apayao and other places. He is the archetype of the reviled enemy, rabidly antipeople and counterrevolutionary, anti-communist and militarist. For the people who were at the receiving end of Aguinaldo's brutality, he was the devil incarnate.

On the other hand, Aguinaldo was a hero to the imperialists, big landlords and compradors. In defending him, a CIA official once retorted that "You can sleep safe and sound because of people like Rodolfo Aguinaldo".

As expected, the country's ruling classes and their imperialist nationmaster were angered and terrifi ed with the death of their trusted butcher Aguinaldo. They would have the life and example of Hitlerite demons like Aguinaldo honored and emulated. It is a crucial matter to them in the face of the growing threat to their rule posed by the rapidly advancing revolutionary movement.

From now on, they can never ever sleep soundly again.
