Another innocent farmer has fallen prey to the NTF-ELCAC’s infamous E-CLIP program. Last Wednesday, Rene Janayan, a resident of Zamboanguita Negros Oriental supposedly yielded a .45 calibre pistol, ammunition and a rifle grenade to the Gov. Manuel Sagarbarria. Even at first glance, it is obvious that Janayan’s surrender reeks of the corrupt scheme of the […]

June 28, 2023 | New People's Army | Negros Island Regional Operational Command (Apolinario Gatmaitan Command) | NPA-Southeast Negros (Rachelle Mae Palang Command) | Estrella Banagbanag | Spokesperson |

The US-Marcos II regime’s first year deserves no fanfare or celebration from the people. As a poor copy of his late tyrant father, he has done nothing to uplift the conditions of the Filipino people and instead continued the bloody trail of his predecessor and loose ally Duterte. And, like the dictators before him, Marcos […]

The Rachel Mae Palang Command-New People’s Army (RMPC-NPA) vehemently condemns the massacre in Pamplona, Negros Oriental that has claimed lives and injured the innocent.
