Last February 10, 2022 in the evening, the LPC-NPA conducted a sniping operation against the CAA detachment of the 62nd IB located in Barangay Guba, Vallehermoso, Negros Oriental. The AFP incurred at least 1 casualty due to the said operation.

Troops of the detachment in Guba are involved in the continuing Focused Military Operations in the area since the last quarter of 2021 up to now. Their mere presence have sowed terror among civilians, especially as gross human rights violations intensify, involving numerous cases of red-tagging, illegal detention, indiscriminate firing and other instances that involve blatant disrespect to international humanitarian law.

The AFP/PNP/NTF-ELCAC combine grow ever more desperate to meet their impossible deadline to decimate the revolutionary movement by the end of Duterte’s official term. As their resources become split in the campaign season due to corruption and electioneering especially for favored candidates led by Bongbong Marcos and Sara Duterte-Carpio, their target of ending the just resistance of the oppressed classes is but a pipedream especially as the LPC-NPA have persisted to mount tactical offensives amid overwhelming odds and their lies of the NPA’s ‘dwindling strength’.

Absolutely led by the CPP and cherished by the broad masses, the NPA is determined to surmount obstacles to carry forward the National Democratic Revolution through advancing the Protracted People’s War to greater heights. The US-Duterte regime will surely fail in their bloody counterrevolutionary war as Negrosanons and the entire Filipino people are resolute to end their suffering by wholeheartedly supporting and treading the path of the armed revolution. ###
