New People’s Army (NPA) based in Negros Island denounced the 303rd Infantry Brigade for thinking Negrosanons are easily fooled by deception.

Ka Juanito Magbanua, spokesperson of the Apolinario Gatmaitan Command – Regional Operational Command of the NPA in Negros Island (AGC-NPA), slammed 303rd Brigade Commander BGen. Inocencio Pasaporte for spewing lies after lies that “only exposes his delusions.”

“Pasaporte knows the origin of the arms cache because he himself orchestrated the discovery,” Magbanua said.

The Mount Cansermon Command – South Central Negros Front of the NPA (MCC-NPA) released a statement yesterday denying claims of the 94th Infantry Battalion of recovering ammunitions and land mines in Sitio Double Yarding, Barangay Mahalang, Himamaylan City, Negros Occidental allegedly belonging to the NPA.

Ka Dionesio Magbuelas, MCC-NPA spokesperson, ridiculed the 94IB for the “planned and systematic propaganda using scripted and well-rehearsed videos and pictures but upon close observation uses damaged and unrealistic props.”

He also called it a propaganda of the AFP/PNP/NTF-ELCAC that “aims to drown the resounding commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Martial Law under dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr.”

Magbuelas further stated that “human rights violations perpetrated by the 94IB such as extrajudicial killings, torture, bombings, threats and harassments, and going after innocent children only reminds the people of the grave fascism experienced under dictator Marcos.”

Meanwhile, Magbanua trusted Negrosanons to know the truth amidst all the lies spread by state forces.

“The people knows that the military and police conducting combat operations and sowing terror in their communities are their true enemy while the NPA, their genuine army, defends them from the fascist troops and promotes their rights and welfare,” he said.

Magbanua concluded that the abundance of fake news released by the 303rd Brigade reinforces the people’s distrust towards state forces and the Marcos II regime it loyally serves.###
