DAVAO CITY – Today’s sixth commemoration of the so-called International Day of Political Prisoners is bogus.
The Alliance for Nationalism and Democracy (ANAD) Partylist in Mindanao made the declaration in view of the reported plan by the communist front Samahan ng mga Ex-Detainees Laban sa Detensyon at para sa Amnestiya (SELDA) to hold early this afternoon a picket rally infront of Davao City’s First Congressional District Office on Quirino Ave. here.
ANAD Partylist-Mindanao pointed out that the self-anointed International League of People’s Struggle (ILPS) that supposedly declared the celebration on Dec. 3, 2003 is nothing but another creation of Communist Party of the Philippines Chairman Jose Ma. Sison to implement the party’s international solidarity works as required in its Protracted People’s War (PPW).
In relation to the PPW, ILPS also supports to CPP-NPA-NDF’s “machinery build-up, general offensive and general uprising,” ANAD Partylist exposed in a press release sent out by its Mindanao Spokesman Art Tariman.
Jose Ma. Sison continues to hold the ILPS chairmanship since its founding on May 25, 2001 in Zutphen, The Netherlands.
The other ILPS founding officers were the late Anak Pawis Partylist Congressman Crispin Beltran as Chairman of the International Coordinating Group, Cherry Clemente as ICC First Deputy, former Anak Pawis Partylist Congressman Rafael Mariano as ICC Member and ILPS-Philippines Head, and Gabriela Partylist Congresswoman Liza Maza as ICC Member.
According to ANAD Partylist, ILPS aims to exploit the following 18 subjective concerns and issues to help attain the objective condition of the revolution: national liberation, socio-economic development, human rights, just peace, independent trade union and workers' rights, agrarian reform women's rights, youths’ right to education and employment, children's rights, indigenous peoples’ rights, teachers and educators’ rights, people’s right to health, science & technology, and environmental protection, arts and culture and free flow of information, justice for the victims of illegal arrest and detention, rights of the homeless, migrants and refugees, rights of the elderly, and rights of homosexuals, bisexuals and trans-gendered.
The activities of ILPS revolves around the stimulation, facilitation and coordination of common lines of action, the undertaking of definitive actions on its 18 concerns and issues, the cooperation with all possible organizations, institutions and personalities to attain the ILPS aims and purposes, explained ANAD Partylist, adding that ILPS’ current tasks include the following:
• Express solidarity and support whenever necessary;
• Double efforts to establish national chapters;
• Take political initiative to promote anti-imperialist and democratic lines;
• Consult and seek drafts from participating organizations and study commissions;
• Attract participating organizations belonging to countries where anti-imperialist and democratic struggles of the people are intense; and
Cooperate with other anti-imperialist coordinating centers and frameworks to gain access to and cooperate with other mass formations that are not yet within the ILPS. (ANAD PARTLIST-MINDANAO INFONEWS BUREAU email: anadpartylist_mindanao@yahoo.com)

Indolent passiveness against humanity
THE GRUESOME murder of more than 50 civilians, mostly women, including more than a dozen media personalities in Maguindanao easily draws us to some parallels in two different yet similar situations that dispassionately abounds in our country.
As the whole civilized world was saddened, angered, and has strongly condemned the Maguindanao incident, one cannot easily turn his head away from the realities that happened and is still happening, with more brutality, intensity, and viciousness, in other parts of the country .
While partisan politics may have fueled some to employ brute and overwhelming force against hapless civilians, one cannot deny the succinct tale of tens of thousands of Filipinos whose lives were snapped not only by brute force but by deceit, trumped-up charges, and blatant lies wrought about by a violent and inhuman ideology.
Evident is on the manner and treatment given to these two incidents: one with passivity, while the other with overwhelming open denunciation and grief. Surprising is the way media personalities and organizations manifest reactions to these two different incidents.
The mass purging of the 80’s, within the Maoist terrorist organization, resulting to the deaths of tens of thousands of Maoist CPP-NPA-NDF cadres and political officers never gained attention of media organizations by way of banner stories decrying and condemning the inhuman and brutal slaying of Filipinos by Maoist terrorist henchmen, upon orders of the CPP’s Central Committee leadership, that even our fingers and toes couldn’t bear in numbers.
The Inopacan massacre in Southern Leyte and the Digos massacre in Davao del Sur are far more horrible than the barefaced violence that Maguindanao massacre has shown us.
Why was media silent on the Maoist terrorist mass purging, from the 80’s and is still continuing today, perpetrated blatantly and without mercy; yet the same media are now up in arms with black armed bands and candle lighting ceremonies in open denunciation of the Maguindanao massacre.
What difference in life does the two incidents have, both brazen and despicable affront against humanity, to merit some sort of “double standard” among us?
Do we have to have media personalities as victims of violence and perfidy to cause media organizations to go out of their own shell and self-imposed selective isolation so that they would speak out loud for the protection and preservation of human life; and the inviolable right to life?
Indeed, parallels on incidents could easily be drawn but no one can ever forget that sickening passiveness yet indolent and selective treatment purposely committed by some of us.

RA 9745 hailed; Maoist’s urged to uphold the rule of law
THE ALLIANCE FOR NATIONALISM AND DEMOCRACY (ANAD) Partylist is in full support of Republic Act 9745, otherwise known as the Anti-Torture Act of 2009 signed into law by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo last Nov. 10. ANAD strongly believes that the enactment of RA 9745 shows government’s commitment towards the protection of the rights of Filipinos, especially against harassments, intimidation, and more importantly her peoples’ right to life and liberty.
“ANAD hopes that the implementation and compliance of the provisions of RA 9745 must not only bear upon government but on all Filipinos, especially the Maoist terrorist Communist Party of the Philippines-New Peoples Army (CPP-NPA), whose penchant for violence and disrespect towards the rights of peoples are insurmountable and remarkable, until today,” said Rey Salas, ANAD secretary general and national spokesman.
On the issue of extra-judicial killings in the country, “What is reported and given publicity by Maoist communist lapdogs in media represents only a miniscule part compared to the total transgressions and human rights abuses committed by the Maoist terrorists that never saw the pages of national newspapers’ or the airlanes of radio and television media,” Salas explained.
Salas challenged Karapatan, Task Force Detainees-Philippines, SELDA, and other Maoist terrorist sectoral front and pseudo partylist organizations to be circumspect, honest, sincere, and transparent in the documentation and reporting of alleged human rights violation cases. “Black propaganda is their main weapon while pursuing vilification and hate campaign against government. If they are sincere in upholding and protecting our peoples’ rights, RA 9745 should change their ways. RA 9745 should cause their transformation towards transparency, honesty, and true commitment towards the protection of our peoples’ rights,” Salas said.
While ANAD calls for a full and sincere compliance of the law by government agencies and functionaries, the same is demanded from other sectors of the Filipino community particularly the Maoist terrorists whose more than 40-years of insurgency has caused the enforced disappearances and deaths of tens of thousands of Filipinos.
“No one, even if one is a member of a self-proclaimed revolutionary organization, is exempted or excluded from liability if he violates the law. More so, if one is a terrorist,” Salas said.
“The goals and intentions of the law could not be achieved if stakeholders in the community, not only government, refuse to do their share in upholding the rule of law, especially RA 9745,” Salas stressed.

ANAD hits continued CPP-NDF recruitment of Filipino youth and students
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.
