A monstrous lie. This was Gregorio "Ka Roger" Rosal's reaction to AFP reports that 15 Red fighters had been killed in an encounter on July 4 in the town of Sasmoan, Pampanga and 20 in the firefight in Botolan, Zambales on July 5.

According to the Josepino Corpuz Command (JCC) of the NPA in Central Luzon, not a single guerrilla was killed. In truth, according to the JCC, at least four enemy soldiers were killed in Sasmoan and seven killed in Botolan.

"On orders of Malacañang and the AFP high command, the military has concocted a monstrous lie in its desperation to boost the sagging morale of its men," according to Ka Roger.

"Since suffering grave losses in Samar and Compostela Valley and without a single victory to prate about, the AFP's high command and propaganda mill have resorted to manufacturing all sorts of lies to cover up their losses," Rosal added, "Weaving lies has long been the practice of the AFP. Fascists are in fact liars through and through."
