Defend against Eleazar’s order of intensified police attacks!
August 24, 2021 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Bicol | Ma. Roja Banua | Spokesperson |

The PNP already has an insurmountable amount of blood debt in Masbate but they still thirst for more. PNP Chief Guillermo Eleazar’s directive, during his visit in Bikol, to further intensify police operations in the said province means even more chaos, violence and distress for the Masbatenyo masses. Even without this trigger-happy order, 72 cases of killings were recorded in the province since the beginning of Duterte’s term. Eight out of the 11 cases of massacre in the region also happened in Masbate. This is equivalent to one Masbatenyo slain by AFP-PNP elements every month.

Duterte regime is the top recruiter of NPA: PKM rejoinder to AFP's disrespect for the dead, utter violation of IHL
August 24, 2021 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | Pambansang Katipunan ng mga Magbubukid (PKM) | Andres Agtalon | Spokesperson |

The Pambansang Katipunan ng mga Magbubukid (PKM-NDFP) scoffed at the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) for its tirade that slain New People’s Army (NPA) fighter Kerima Lorena Tariman was a ‘notorious terrorist’ and ‘extortionist’ and that she lured students to the NPA. Tariman was summarily killed by soldiers of the 79th IBPA in Barangay […]

Itigil ang Revitalized Presence in the Barangays Program ng PNP
August 23, 2021 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Bicol | Ma. Roja Banua | Spokesperson |

Walang kahit kaunting ginhawa para sa mamamayang Bikolano. Matapos bugbugin ang kanilang mga komunidad ng walang katapusang operasyong militar at pulis gaya ng madudugo, brutal at mapanlinlang na SACLEO, RCSP at FMO, heto na naman at hindi magkamayaw sa desperasyon ang rehimeng US-Duterte sa pagpapatupad ng kampanyang Revitalized Police Presence in the Barangays sa ilalim ng Intensified Cleansing Operations ng PNP. Hindi pa nasapatan ang rehimen sa mga joint interoperability operations ng PNP at AFP sa ilalim ng kanyang EO 70-Whole of Nation Approach. Sinasagad niya ang paghahari ng militarismo sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay-lisensya sa dagdag pang presensya ng mga pulis sa mga barangay.

Stop the PNP’s Revitalized Presence in the Barangays Program
August 23, 2021 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Bicol | Ma. Roja Banua | Spokesperson |

There is no respite for the Bikolano people. After endless military and police operations, such as the bloody, brutal and treacherous SACLEO, RCSP and FMO, battered their communities, here comes the desperate US-Duterte regime with yet another campaign – the Revitalized Police Presence in the Barangays under the PNP Intensified Cleansing Operations. The regime is still not content with the PNP and AFP’s joint interoperability operations under his EO 70-Whole of Nation Approach. He pushes the military’s dominion much further by giving license to even larger police presence in the barangays.

Sukdulan ang kabulukan at kurapsyon ng rehimeng Duterte
August 23, 2021 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Ilocos | Pambansang Katipunan ng mga Magbubukid-Ilocos | Julian Sadiri | Spokesperson |

Ngitngit at galit ang nararamdaman sa kasalukuyan ng mamamayang Pilipino, lalung lalo na ang masang magsasaka, bunga ng matinding iregularidad at kurapsyon na nagaganap sa iba’t ibang ahensya ng pamahalaaan. Nitong nakalipas na mga buwan, sunod-sunod na inilabas ng Commision on Audit ang mga awdit sa pondo ng iba’t ibang ahensya ng pambansang pamahalaan. Nakita […]

Dagdag operasyong pulis sa Masbate, dagdag pahirap sa magsasakang Masbatenyo
August 23, 2021 | National Democratic Front of the Philippines | NDF-Bicol | Pambansang Katipunan ng mga Magbubukid-Bicol |

Ang panawagan ng mga magsasaka ay ang masugpo ang kahirapan at hindi dagdag presensya ng pulis. Ang panawagan ng mga magsasaka ay mapalayas ang mga gahamang panginoong may lupa at iba pang mga dayuhang mamumuhunang dumarambong sa likas na yaman ng Masbate. Ang panawagan nila ay matapos na ang walang tigil na karahasan at terorismo na ihinahasik ng mga mersenaryong hukbo ng estado. Ang interes ng mga kapitalista, burukrata at imperyalista ay katumbas ng tiyak na kamatayan para sa mga Masbatenyo – kamatayan mula sa kagutuman at kamatayan mula sa dulo ng mga armas ng mga berdugong nagtatanggol sa mapagsamantalang paghaharing ito.
