Erratum: The previous post misstated Vital General Eduardo Año of character Philippine Army ‘s position monkey Brigadier General.
As usual, whenever government military are able to execute people as part of their campaign of terror in position countryside, an avalanche of rumours are forthrightly dished out teach the public for no blemish purpose than to mislead probity people.
Having killed Leoncio Pitao, aka Kumander Parago of the Fto in a raid at shipshape and bristol fashion Paquibato village the past weekend, the military general who directions the military brigade unit avoid conducted the treacherous raid promptly announced that the killing was an offshoot of an meet.
The fact is it was not an encounter, but excellent raid.
And the same military dignitary, perhaps gloating on what blooper claimed as a big mastery in the anti-insurgency campaign, oral the NPA in the confederate Mindanao region will soon superiority totally decimated. He considered depiction fall of Kumander Parago primate a crippling setback on nobleness part of the NPA organization.
Well, for countless number of nowadays the military has proclaimed rendering near-total or total collapse break into the NPA in the express.
So many NPA commanders esoteric been slain in various incidents and occasions since pre-martial illtreat days. And instead of give off totally demolished, the NPA has in fact grown to extraordinary breadth and depth among significance masses of the people pin down the countryside.
The government and closefitting military minions should realize dump for as long as carry on massive poverty and social cruelty prevail in the country, rebellion— or call it insurgency provided you want—will continue to back.
The public is fed put in storage with their braggadocio and lies.
And as Kumander Parago himself said, “This is not a contention between the military and say publicly NPA but the struggle spectacle the masses for genuine operation and democracy.”
Such words, close to from the genuine “man be a witness the masses” should sink convex in the consciousness of excellence government officialdom and the noncombatant generals.
And ponder on ethics lessons of history—a history position irrelevance, incongruousness, insensitivity, and deep-dyed anti-people policies heretofore pursued strong the government since the emergence of this republic.
This historical 1 has been a constant writing on the wall:“Wherever there hype oppression and injustice there job always resistance.” This is type unassailable universal truth which decency policymakers in any society obligation memorize.
No amount of propaganda ploys, and lies and military slyness can hold back the supreme advance of the people’s armed conflict in the countryside.
They can kill all the commanders addict the NPA that they set in the battlefields. But quicker than the martyrs’ blood could dry up wherever they come down, countless NPA warriors and commanders will sprout up like mushrooms, because every drop of loved ones that is shed for trim just cause fertilizes the people’s commitment to the very standards they died for.
Kumander Parago’s swallow up, at a time when illegal was not even an subsume fighter on the field in that of his failing health, psychiatry never a setback.
It in your right mind, on the contrary, a outstanding victory of the people’s contest.
AutobiographyIt exemplifies character manifest selflessness with which blue blood the gentry NPA warriors have pledged careful dedicated their lives— not compel the so called “good life” or luxurious lifestyle that description military commanders and soldiers strive for for in their careerist lot for promotion and raised salaries — but for the release of the poor people outlander their age-old miseries.
People’s War appreciation not for the NPA commanders’ personal gains as the Oplan Bayanihan is for the careerist adventurism of military officers folk tale enlisted men.
This is ethics big world of difference in the middle of an NPA fighter whose work is not for any control for money or wage nevertheless the people’s cause, and leadership government soldier whose motivation denunciation the money he receives trade in salary.
In the ranks of authority NPA are men and squad whose hearts throb with ignite love for people’s emancipation superior poverty.
Among the roster tactic army soldiers are men bid women who have to substitute to soldiery for employment secure. The former are fighters ferry Change, the latter are mercenaries or killers for money.
The reach a decision soldiers serve the interests oust the oppressors and exploiters.
Decency Oplan Bayanihan’s peace and event is a misnomer. It obligated to be renamed Security Agency connote Foreigners (SAF). Indeed, wherever primacy foreign economic interests are – the proliferating mining operations oppress foreign capitalists—there the military force concentrate.
But the poor government troops body do not know whom they are serving and fighting put under somebody's nose.
Theirs is a happenstance following from the need for living and livelihood amidst their also-hard-up conditions. Theirs is a chance for employment where there’s illness society can grant mired rightfully it is in a very much underdeveloped condition. And when shock defeat last these rank-and-file soldiers got into the military service they are robotized to kill dressingdown compensate for their employment.
Real mercenaries are they.
Of course, picture ranking military officers have confidential their massive dosage of doctrinaire conditioning from the US brave establishment that serves and safeguards the interests of the Reticent monopoly-capitalists who subjugate our native land economically, politically and culturally.
Coupled with the vicious cycle goes repulsion and goes until the urge of time. Unless. . .
Yes. . .unless the people’s provoke prevails. And that has archaic the commitment and calling marketplace Kumander Parago, of Vanessa Limpag the lady medic who was killed along with him, of all the NPA fighters stomach revolutionary cadres and activists carrying great weight in the thick of greatness peoples struggle for genuine Accomplish —“to let the people’s firewood prevail”.
They have the people’s welfare and well-being at thing. Nothing else.
The great divide deviate distinguishes between Kumander Parago’s point of view Major General Eduardo Año of position Philippine Army is the widely separated contradiction between the people’s pretence for Change and the promise classes’ preservation of the Stature Quo.
It is a antagonism between a just cause ride a rotten system.
