Read in: Bisaya To justify its profitable fake surrender scheme, 11th IB’s paid hacks recently concocted the pathetic storyline about so-called individual rights of Red fighters being trampled by “despotic” NPA commanders and Party cadres causing demoralization and eventual massive surrender. This is a barefaced lie and a desperate act to cover-up their plunder of […]

September 25, 2020 | New People's Army | Negros Island Regional Operational Command (Apolinario Gatmaitan Command) | NPA-Southeast Negros (Rachelle Mae Palang Command) | Estrella Banagbanag | Spokesperson |

In a fashion akin to that of Goebbels, Hitler’s chief propagandist, the paid hacks of 11th IB are incessantly repeating the lie in their radio programs that the NPA violated the Ottawa Convention in employing command-detonated explosives in tactical offensives.. No matter how many times this lie is repeated, it will not change the fact […]

September 17, 2020 | New People's Army | Negros Island Regional Operational Command (Apolinario Gatmaitan Command) | NPA-Southeast Negros (Rachelle Mae Palang Command) | Estrella Banagbanag | Spokesperson |

In a grand insult to the Filipino people, especially the Negrosanon, the PNP Chief declared in a media interview recently that Gen. Debold Sinas is a “good man and deserves a promotion”. Gen. Sinas, now the Metro Manila police chief, was responsible for the gruesome murders of civilians in Negros Oriental during his stint as […]
