The 61st IB commander is misrepresenting the New People’s Army. We are not butchers and perpetrators of senseless killings like their lot.

Their mindset that LGU officials who do not support the declaration of PNG against the NPA therefore support terrorists is idiotic. And now they want to malign the people’s just war by implying that those who support the TF ELCAC are immediate targets of the NPA.

From a website of a Western Visayas news outfit:

“So, we’re not also discounting the possibility that those who are supporting Task Force ELCAC will also be subject of this possible NPA attack,” Batara said.

The NPA’s principles and policies framed by the Communist Party of the Philippines does not condone summary killings and arrests. The people’s democratic government follows the process of revolutionary justice.

The AFP wants to generate a red scare to benefit their losing whole-of-nation approach. Do not apply your style of thinking to us. The NPA is the direct opposite of the AFP. We are not fascists, more so, terrorists.
