The ALLIANCE FOR NATIONALISM AND DEMOCRACY (ANAD) Partylist denounce and condemn, in strongest terms, the unabated use of the youth and minors, especially students, by the Maoist communist-terrorist CPP-NPA-NDF against the duly constituted democratic and free government of the Republic of the Philippines.
Rep. Jun Alcover of ANAD Partylist describes as outrageous and highly condemnable the CPP-NPA-NDF’S utter disregard of the international conventions and the laws of our country on the protection of the rights of the youth that would ensure a better future of our youth in the community of free and democratic nations of the world.
This is Rep. Alcover’s reaction to the arrest of Maria Carla Alvarico, a licensed nurse, graduate of Velez College; Carlo Hernandez Cabahug, a graduate of computer technology at the University of San Carlos; and Absin Glenn Filamer, a political science student of the University of Cebu, after shooting it out against elements of the 79th IB, PA, last Sunday (October 18) in Sitio Pulang Yuta, Barangay Mayabon, Zamboanguita, Negros Oriental. During the same incident, one of their companion identified as Reden Carpentero, aka Rodel, 20 yrs old, was found dead, beside a creek, some 200 meters from the encounter site.
“This is horrible considering their continued avowals as protectors of our youth’s political and human rights and ensuring better future to our young, the Maoist communists incessantly are manipulating and abusing the idealism of our youth by inculcating on them the demonic Maoist communist ideology whose obsession is violence and destruction of human life and that of our country,” Rep. Alcover explained.
He pointed to the two PUP students: Albert Estrada and Regina Obiso, who were duped by the sweet-talking and glib-tongued Maoist communist recruitment specialists into joining the armed communist-terrorist, New Peoples Army, in the Southern Tagalog area.
“ANAD strongly warns all freedom and democratic loving Filipinos, especially parents whose children are subjected to recruitment by CPP political operatives, to be always on the wary and be on guard to safeguard their children,” Alcover said.
“What happened to the three arrested NPAs, former leaders of the College Editors Guild of the Philippine (CEGP), could very well happen to your children if we remain complacent and defy the call of the times to be on guard against Maoist communist-terrorist influence whose penchant for deception and lies continues to hold sway,” Alcover stressed.

VICTIM CALLS ON CHR TO PROBE NPA ATROCITIES IN DAVAO
DAVAO CITY, 13 October 2009 – The Victims of Injustice, Communism and Terrorism in Mindanao (VICTIM) challenges the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) to investigate the human rights abuses committed by local communist terrorists especially the Pulang Bagani Company 1 of the CPP-NPA-NDF Southern Mindanao Region.
In a press release, VICTIM pointed out that no less than Ka Simon Santiago, political director of the NPA in Southern Mindanao, admitted to the local media that the NPA units tasked to execute the “death sentence orders” of their so-called “People’s Court,” otherwise known as “Kangaroo Court,” have committed “errors” and “excesses” even as he tried to gloss over the killings by saying that the victims were criminals.
“Ka Simon Santiago’s open admission of their men’s errors and excesses in carrying out the killings is a good cue for the CHR to come into the picture and investigate the atrocities,” said VICTIM, adding that the CHR had been quick to grab the limelight in other high profile cases such as the alleged abduction of NPA member Melissa Roxas and the Tiongson-Singson wife-beating scandal.
The CHR’s constitutional mandate is to investigate all human rights violations in the country irrespective of the offending parties.
Once and for all, the CHR under Chairman Leila de Lima should prove to the taxpayers who funded the office that it is not subservient to the CPP-NPA-NDF whose overall evil master, Jose Ma. Sison, is the husband of her cousin Juliet de Lima, said VICTIM.
According to VICTIM, “Chair De Lima must take the occasion that the CHR is investigating the so-called Davao Death Squad to also look into the excesses of the Sparrow Death Squad that made Davao City as its laboratory since early ‘80s.”
“Who knows that the alleged DDS and the NPA Special Partisan Unit (SPARU) shared some common resources and interests? There have been persistent rumors that some former SPARU members in Davao City have turned themselves into DDS members or even started the group.
Earlier, VICTIM vehemently denounced the series of atrocities committed by local communist terrorists against members and leaders of the indigenous cultural communities in Southern Mindanao Region.
VICTIM’s own probe tend to show that the CPP-NPA-NDF authorized the recent spate of killings of the “Lumad” to discourage members of the local indigenous cultural communities from supporting the government drive against all illegal armed groups in the region’s hinterlands that disrupted the indigenous people’s peaceful living.
VICTIM is a new group composed of surviving victims and families of the victims of injustice, communism and terrorism in Mindanao. Its growing membership includes those who survived persecutions, ambushes, assassinations, bombings, human right abuses and other infractions against humanity.
It was secretly founded at the eve of the 20th commemoration of the infamous Digos Massacre last June 25.

ANAD chides Maoist CPP’s slant as mere propaganda and lies
by:Mharlon Borja
as posted in http://anadpartylist.wordpress.com/
“THIS is part of the Maoist communist-terrorist CPP-NPA-NDF’s malicious propaganda scheme,” said Tito Porras, national vice president of the Alliance for Nationalism and Democracy (ANAD) Partylist, in reaction to the recent statements of the Maoist communist group saying that US forces are exploiting the calamitous conditions to send in more “interventionist” troops into the country.
“In fact, a day or two after Typhoon Ondoy hit Metro Manila and ravaged the cities of Marikina, Pasig, Antipolo, the municipalities of Cainta and outlying provinces, calls had been made by practically all sectors of the Filipino community seeking US government’s assistance in the rescue and relief operations to supplement government’s effort,” said Porras.
He chided some quarters, especially those in the sectoral front organizations of the NDF, for making a fuzz of the US assistance saying, “Instead of injecting malice to highlight the arrival of US forces as a bane to Philippine sovereignty, Filipinos must welcome them in the spirit of humane accommodation as they are here for humanitarian consideration amidst the calamity that struck us,” explained Porras.
Returning to the Maoist CPP to a more profound question on what have they done to the Filipinos in the light of “Ondoy” and “Pepeng’s wrath, Porras slammed the Maoist communist leadership for issuing statements that are not only meaningless amid the hardship faced by our people but are clearly propaganda full of malice and ill-will, “ They continue to hit on the efforts of government with them showing not even a cinch of what they have been professing, for the past 40 years, as protectors of our people,” Porras stressed.
“In this time, where our brother Filipinos in the areas of Bicol, Southern Tagalog, Eastern and Northern Luzon areas needs whatever assistance possible, I challenge the Maoist communist-terrorist CPP-NPA-NDF to openly show the care and concern towards the Filipino people that you have been advocating in the past,” Porras said.
“Lip service and press statements on your website and to your minions in media outfits is the least wanted and are nothing. You should make good of what you’ve been saying all along, and put an end to your savagery and inhuman acts committed against the people,” said Porras.

ANAD downplays Joma’s delisting from world’s “Terrorist” list
The ALLIANCE FOR NATIONALISM AND DEMOCRACY (ANAD) Partylist describe the recent European Union (EU) court’s ruling, taking-off Maoist messiah and CPP founder Jose Ma. Sison from the list of “terrorist” personalities in the world, as a simple “palliative pill” to assuage the aging 70-year old founder of the Maoist communist-terrorist CPP-NPA-NDF.
“The decision does not make him a non-Maoist communist believer or would altogether change the very persona of Joma Sison who is deeply committed to pursue his vow of using violence as a means in achieving the goals and objectives of his organization,” said Rey Salas, ANAD Partylist national spokesman, today.
“The EU court’s edict was only to stop the use of the word - - terrorist as a label against Sison. Definitely, it does not change the character and intentions of Joma,” Salas added.
Even the unfreezing of his assets by the same EU court does not give a new Jose Ma. Sison to the community of free and democratic nations of the world, said Salas as he called on all peace loving Filipinos to constantly be wary and on-guard against the surging and unflinching deception and lies spread by the sectoral front and pseudo partylist organizations, in the country.
On whether this development could spell and cause some improvement in putting an end to the country’s 40-year CPP-NPA-NDF insurgency, Salas explained, “It is only our hope but facts covering the same period unequivocally show that Joma and his peers has no intention, whatsoever, of reaching out for peace. Instead, ANAD Partylist sees the upsurge in the NDF’s malicious and venomous propaganda campaigns against government and stepped-up NPA guerilla attacks, in the countryside.”
“Our brother Filipinos, especially those who continually are victims of Maoist communist manipulation and those in the less privileged sector, must always be on-guard against the onslaught of black propaganda as a result of Sison’s delisting from the terrorist list,” Salas explained.
On the other hand, ANAD Partylist welcomed the EU court’s ruling with the hope that it will cause Joma Sison to get-out of his “protective shell” and pretensions and shall play a more active role towards the resumption of the oftenly stalled peace-talks with the government.
“Rather than going to the US not only to do some lectures but to taunt American authorities for labeling him as a terrorist, it is best for Joma to come back to the Philippines and seriously work for the resumption of the peace talks,” Salas added.

NDF Spokesperson’s Claim of Rights Violations – A Pure Lie…
Camp Panacan, Davao City- The statement made (on Sunday, September 20, 2009 thru an emailed statement and published by Sun Star Davao on September 21, 2009 ) by Rubi Del Mundo, the spokesperson of the National Democratic Front-Southern Mindanao, that more human rights violations will be committed by the military is a pure lie and tainted with deceit and pretense. The claim was made to discredit the successes the military, as a whole, had against the local terrorists in the Davao Region. They are using the recent designation of Col. Eduardo Del Rosario as Commander of the 1003rd Infantry Brigade to malign his person and leadership in view of Col Del Rosario’s successes in addressing the threats of terrorism exuded by the armed group from the NPA during his past stints as Commander of Task Force Davao and Commander of 73rd Infantry Battalion a few years back.
These terrorists fear, more than anything else, their nefarious activities, such as extortion activities, murder, grave threats against innocent civilians and other forms of crimes against public order, will be exposed before the public, curtailed if not stopped drastically, and the perpetrators of these heinous acts be put before the bar of justice. These violent acts, for all intents and purposes, are actually the violations of human rights and they themselves are the violators. The public, therefore, should be warned against the CPP/NPA/NDF so that they will not be victims of these treacherous acts and, thus, must be vigilant in order not to fall prey to their deception.
The killings perpetrated by them against innocent civilians and soldiers, they claim to a be sentence handed down by their “kangaroo court”, is merciless in nature and the alleged “conviction” is just an excuse for them to do it. In actuality, there is no legal or judicial basis for these and these are the clear violations of human rights.
Hence, what they are saying about the military, in general, and the 1003rd Infantry Brigade, in particular, is just but a façade of what the NPA are a doing. What they are afraid of is their illegal acts will be uncovered and put out in the open for the people of Davao to know. As this truth is revealed, they fear that the support or influence they have over the masses are lessened. As they thrive in areas where the local populace is supportive of them, either because they under duress or have been fooled of a false cause they are alleging, they may loose this influence and therefore be susceptible to arrest or capture. We cannot be-fault these people because they were deceived into believing that the armed group is fighting for the cause. In truth, their actions are all for their personal gain and benefit.
We have heard also of the many atrocities they have committed, such as, grave threats against those who do not want to cooperate with them; arson or bombing of cell sites, construction equipment and many more against those who do not pay them extorted money; kidnapping of civilians for the payment of ransom; and even robbery of personal belongings for their own personal use, are the violations of human right.
On the other hand, they fear also that many among their regular cadres may lay down their arms, return to mainstream society, and avail of the livelihood package the government is offering thru the Social Integration Program or SIP. The social interventions are so lucrative in view of the many opportunities it offers notwithstanding the chance for them to live a normal life with their respective families and a chance for them to productive in the community they choose to live.
The allegations of Del Mundo against Col. Del Rosario, with regard to the alleged “divide-and-rule tactics”, atrocities of a military-backed “Alamara”, coddling of a criminal, and human rights violations, are products of his imagination and are all baseless. He is making these false allegations to slander Col. Del Rosario so that his concept of operations against the terrorists will be hindered or hampered. They simply afraid that the Brigade’s ISO efforts will doubly gain ground and be a success in attaining an insurgency-free Davao Region in the near future. These will definitely hurt their illegal activities for personal gain and benefit.
Upon the assumption of command by Col. Del Rosario, he immediately pronounced the focus of the current Internal Security Operations. These are:
1) Peace and development efforts, thru the Brigade’s Civil-Military Operations, must be enhanced in order to win the hearts and minds, and confidence of the people towards government.
2) All units under the operational control of the Brigade must partner themselves with all sectors and stakeholders to be able to attain a confluence of efforts to address the threats posed by the terrorists/armed groups and, in so doing, also address the roots causes of insurgency.
3) Combat operations must be directly against the armed groups and such operations must strictly be in accordance with existing rules of engagement, policies and regulations, and with utmost regard for the respect of human rights, most especially women and children and non-combatants, and properties. Each soldier, from him and all the officers up to most junior enlisted personnel of the command, must commit himself/herself to the strict adherence to protect the people and respect their rights regardless of one’s political belief, religion, gender, age, culture, social status, and ethnic group. The concept of “Command Responsibility” shall be exercised at all levels of command. There shall be no compromise against those who violate such as all violators, if any, will be charged before a military and/or civilian court.
4) All members of the armed group/NPA, who surrender, are captured or arrested, are wounded, or are killed during operations, must be treated humanely and accorded their rights. Legal assistance will provided of them at all times.
5) Cultural traditions and customs of all peoples, IPs, Lumads, Muslims and all others alike, must be clearly understood by the troops to avoid differences and thereby avert conflicts.

NPA MASSACRE CIVILIANS IN AMBUSH
Eight-year old girl, two civilians killed in NPA ambush in Surigao del Sur
BUTUAN CITY
An eight-year old girl and two other civilians aboard a logging truck were killed after some 50 heavily armed communist-New People’s Army (NPA) rebels ambushed them along Km. 9, Barangay Pakwan, Lanuza, Surigao del Sur Friday morning.
The regional police headquarters and advance command post of the Army’s Fourth Infantry (Diamond) Division here said the victims were on board a logging truck of Surigao Development Corp. (SUDECOR) when waylaid at 6:45 a.m. today.
The ambush also resulted in the wounding critically of another civilian.
Combat troops of the 401st Infantry (Unite n’ Fight) Brigade and the Surigao del Sur provincial police mobile force had launched a hot pursuit operation against the ambushers, who were members of the CPP-NPA Northeastern Mindanao Regional Committee (NEMRC).
Killed on the spot were Junnie Montinegro, 32; Paterno Iting, 30 and an 8-year old girl Christine Salahay.
The wounded was identified as Gaudencio Ablog.
All the victims were reportedly dependents of SUDECOR.
Initial report said the logging truck of SUDECOR was on its way to their logging area when the rebels waylaid them in a curve and hilly portion of the road.
After the ambush, the rebels immediately fled to nearby mountains.
Brig. Gen. Mario F. Chan, commanding general of the 4th ID and Chief Supt. Lino D. Calingasan, regional director of Police Regional Office 13 deployed their respective combat units for a wide pursuit operations against the rebels in Lanuza.
“We condemned this kind of acts because the victims were all civilians,” said Gen. Chan, adding “we will pursue them to answer this inhuman behaviour,” added Gen. Chan.
As of press time, massive pursuit operation is still going on. (PNA)

Deafening silence is loudest!
TRUE to their vow of silence, the Maoist communist’s CPP-NPA-NDF refused to respond to the challenge raised by the ALLIANCE FOR NATIONALISM and DEMOCRACY (ANAD) Partylist to turnover their comrades who were responsible in the ambush-killing of 3 innocent civilians and the wounding of 3 others in the town of Toboso, Negros Occidental, last July 13.
Calls not only by ANAD but the residents of Toboso and the provincial government of Negros Occidental remained unheeded despite NDF-Negros spokesman Frank Fernandez and the head of the NPA’s Guerrilla Front’s admission of their personnel’s responsibility to the incident.
ANAD, through House Resolution No. 1367 filed before with the House of Representatives dated Sept. 1, issued a strong condemnation of that gory incident and called the CPP-NPA-NDF to turnover their men to the government even as it urged the Lower House and the members of the Maoist communist pseudo partylist groups, e.g. Bayan Muna, Gabriela, Anakpawis, and Kabataan to issue the same sentiment of denouncing and condemnation.
“With Fernandez and the alleged leader of the NPA’s guerrilla front’s admission they have shed all what is left of their “masks” and must turnover their men, perpetrators of that incident, to the government for appropriate judicial proceedings before the country’s courts of law,” said Alcover.
However, Alcover said that despite the several calls and challenges made, “the Maoist communists’ character show that they would pursue giving out deafening silence with the hope that the issue would die down and thrown to oblivion,” he added.
He expressed sadness to the fact that despite several urgings by the people, “pseudo partylist members of Bayan Muna and others had forsaken them by playing the same way as what their cohorts in the Maoist communist organization do - - silence,” Alcover said.
“One cannot expect something good to come out when all of these are displayed with malice and ill-will,” Alcover explained.
“Sincerity, transparency, and honesty is what the Maoist communist sordidly lacks as they continuously seek the destruction of our country’s democratic institutions and freedoms,” Alcover pointed out.
