The cracks are showing in the AFP’s “fragile peace” in Southern Mindanao
November 15, 2022 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Southern Mindanao | Rubi del Mundo | Spokesperson |

To the masses of Southern Mindanao, the recent announcement by the AFP’s 10th Infantry Division of of keeping its forces, including detachments, paramilitaries and retooled community support program (RCSP) units, proves how hollow its barely month-old “insurgency-free” declaration truly is.

On so-called local peace engagements: Like a cadaver the AFP keeps on resuscitating
July 17, 2022 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Southern Mindanao | Rubi del Mundo | Spokesperson |

There is not, nor has there ever been, a single localized peace engagement between any local reactionary government unit, much less any AFP unit, and any organization or unit of the revolutionary movement in Southern Mindanao. From the get-go when the previous US-Duterte regime dangled the idea of “localized peace talks,” the revolutionary movement in […]

Mount strong and wide resistance against neoliberal open pit and large-scale mining in Davao Oriental
July 12, 2022 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Southern Mindanao | Rubi del Mundo | Spokesperson |

Amid the series of natural and man-made disasters that swamped Davao Oriental since late last year, it is contemptuous that the local ruling class continues trying to deodorize the ill-effects of the on-going open pit and large-scale mining to the environment and the overall welfare of the masses in the province.

As the US-Duterte regime draws to a close, one definite legacy it will leave behind is pushing the Philippine eagle to the brink of extinction, choosing instead to allow black hawk helicopters and other environmentally-destructive military air assets to roam and bomb the forests of Southern Mindanao for the last six years.As the US-Duterte regime […]

April 16, 2022 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Southern Mindanao | Rubi del Mundo | Spokesperson |

The proposed amendment to Davao City’s anti-discrimination ordinance to include a provision supposedly protecting ‘former rebels’ is nothing but damage control to the adversely affected lives and livelihood of thousands of Lumad and peasants who were forced by the Armed Forces of the Philippines to “surrender” as New People’s Army fighters or sympathizers. It is […]
