CPP reextends ceasefire to January 15 after belated GPH announcement
Information BureauCommunist Party of the Philippines
Press Release
January 03, 2013
The Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) today reextended its ceasefire declaration to January 15 after the Aquino regime belatedly announced yesterday its own suspension of military operations.
The CPP-CC issued the following declaration:
The Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Philippines hereby declares to all commands and units of the New People's Army (NPA) and the people's militias that the end of the ceasefire declared on December 20 has been reextended to 2359H of January 15. Specifics of the December 20 order will remain valid for the duration of this order. This declaration overrides an earlier order by the CPP-CC abbreviating the ceasefire to 2359H of January 2.
This declaration is being issued upon recommendation of the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) after being belatedly informed of the formal order by the president of the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GPH) Benigno Aquino III extending the suspension of offensive military and police operations of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Philippine National Police (PNP).
According to the CPP, the Aquino government did not promptly order the extension of its earlier suspension of offensive military and police operations. As shown by the fascimile of Aquino's order, the recommendation by the Secretary of National Defense was forwarded only yesterday noon, two weeks after the agreement was forged and a few hours after the CPP order abbreviating the ceasefire was made public.
Over the past two weeks, the GPH representatives refused to answer several communications seeking compliance with the December 20 to January 15 synchronized temporary ceasefire. The correspondences were sent by the NDFP Negotiating Panel directly and through the Royal Norwegian Government third-party facilitator.
"The CPP hopes that the reextension of the ceasefire order will help push forward peace negotiations between the GPH and the NDFP. The GPH, however, still has a lot of work to do in terms of compliance and rectification of violations of previous agreements, including the release of detained peace consultants in accordance with the Joint Agreement on Safety and Immunity Guarantees (JASIG) and the release of more than 400 political prisoners in compliance with the Comprehensive Agreement on Respect for Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law."
At the same time, the CPP denounced the continued military operations of the AFP despite Aquino's ceasefire order. "Aquino's ceasefire order has been reduced to a meaningless piece of paper due to the AFP's continued offensive military operations against the people and their revolutionary forces in various parts of the country," said the CPP.

BLMI, MinHRAC conduct training for Pool of Speakers on FAB
January 1, 2013 News: The Bangsamoro Leadership and Management Institute (BLM) and the Mindanao Human Rights Action Center (MinHRAC). in collaboration with Bangsamoro Study Group (BSP) under the auspices of The Government of Norway, conducted a one-day Training-Workshop for Pool of Speakers on Framework Agreement on The Bangsamoro, which was held at BLMI Training Center in Crossing Simuay, Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao last October 30.
The said training-workshop was hosted by MinHRAC, whose main office is in Cotabato City, in partnership with the BLMI, whose main mandate is to train young Moro leaders in the field of leadership and management.
Participants came from most of the provinces in Mindanao, namely Tawi-Tawi, Sulu, Basilan Sibugay, Zamboanga del Norte, Zamboanga City, Zamboanga del Sur, Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao, North Cotabato, Sarangani Province, Compostela Valley and Davao Oriental.
The facilitating team was led by no less than Atty. Zen Malang, Executive Director of MinHRAC, and was ably assisted by Atty. Naguib Sinarimbo, the Secretary General of the Bangsamoro Study Group (BSG).
The BSG consolidated the output of the workshop presentation.
According to Malang, there were five fundamental reasons for this training, as follows: 1. The acceptability of the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro, 2. To have clear understanding of the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro, 3. To increase the number of speakers to reach the greater number of audiences. 4. To increase the number of speakers who could speak different or various dialects and languages. 5. To standardize the level of understanding of FAB by sticking to the content of the FAB and never to exaggerate nor reduce it.
The resource speakers were members of the MILF peace panel headed by its Chair Mohagher Iqbal. Prof. Abhoud Syed Lingga and Atty. Michael Mastura were also present.
Iqbal stayed briefly, because he had another meeting in another place.
Prof. Syed Lingga stressed that the FAB should be explained in the proprer context including the historical setting and it should be read and explained articles by articles, so that the audience will not be bored
He further said the presentation of the provisions of the FAB should be simple, so as to avoid confusion among the audience.
“Stick to technical terms, no additions nor deductions,” Malang admonished the participants.
In the afternoon session, Mastura handled the topic on “how to handle difficult questions”., while Sinarimbo made the wrap-up of the training.

1st PBC-NPA hits 84th IB, 69th IB troops; 5 AFP casualties reported

1st Pulang Bagani Company, Merardo Arce Command, NPA-Southern Mindanao July 12, 2012
AFP troops operating in the countrysides of Davao City, particularly Paquibato, Calinan and Marilog districts suffered five casualties from the sniping operations of the 1st Pulang Bagani Company-New People's Army in three separate incidents on July 8 and 9.
The NPA actions were in retaliation to the strike, intelligence and civic military operations of the 69th Infantry Battalion and 84th IB of the Philippine Army and paramilitary Cafgus. These troops have been responsible for the series of landgrabbing, dislocation and mining preparation in Marilog, profiling and psychological warfare in Paquibato and Calinan district.
On the evening of July 8, the NPA lobbed a grenade at the Special Operation Team (SOT) of the 69th IB at Upper Mabuhay, Paquibato. Three soldiers were wounded, one of them suffering grave physical injuries. The next day, the NPA sniped the 84th IB's SOT in Barangay Dominga, Calinan district, killing one soldier. One soldier was also killed in a separate sniping action in Barangay Dalagdag. 1st Pulang Bagani Company, Merardo Arce Command, NPA-Southern Mindanao July 12, 2012

The AFP troops started its squad-sized operations spread in all barangays of Paquibato and Calinan district, and some parts of Marilog district during the last week of June. Company-sized forces were also maintained by the two AFP units. Under its SOT activities, the AFP would oftentimes pose as Red fighters to deceive the masses. But instead of endearing themselves to the peasant and Lumad masses, they are hated and feared. They may enjoy the support of Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte, but they are abhorred in the hearts of the masses who can clearly see beyond the peace and development masquerade, and who anticipate to be at the receiving end of the AFP's human rights abuses.

Human Rights Violations - NDFP-Mindanao condemns the extra-judicial killing of Fr. Fausto Tentorio

NDFP-Mindanao condemns the extra-judicial killing of Fr. Fausto Tentorio
Ka OrisNDFP-Mindanao
24 Oktubre 2011
The National Democratic Front of the Philippines in Mindanao (NDFP-Mindanao) condemns in the strongest terms possible the gruesome killing of Italian Catholic priest Fr. Fausto Tentorio. We sympathize with family, friends, and the people of Arakan, North Cotabato, especially with poor peasants and agricultural-workers whom Fr. “Pops,” as he was fondly called, served as a foreign missionary until his death.
Fr. Tentorio was a true friend of the Filipino people. He understood the plight of poor Filipinos, and his concern for poor peasants and Lumads in Arakan town at North Cotabato led him to initiate livelihood and education projects for them. He stood side by side with peasants and Lumads to defend the Arakan Valley Complex from the entry of destructive mining operations threatening to wipe out both the people’s livelihood and the abundant natural resources in the area.
As a staunch anti-mining proponent, he helped organize anti-mining campaigns, which strengthened the resolve of local communities to block big mining corporations from plundering the Arakan Valley complex. This has elicited the ire of big mining businesses that wanted desperately to gain access to Arakan Valley, but prevented by the resistance of the local masses
Without doubt, Fr. Tentorio’s progressive outlook, especially on the defense of the basic rights of peasants and Lumads, and the extent of the influence it had on people made him a veritable target of government security forces, especially by death squads of the AFP who are emboldened by the reactionary government’s continued backing.
This latest brazen murder completely belies Benigno Aquino III’s “winning the peace” and “respect human rights” slogans under the aegis of Oplan Bayanihan (OPB), exposing it as a total hoax. Extra-judicial killings rage on with impunity, masterminded and orchestrated by the AFP, continuing to target political activists, including members of the religious, who espouse pro-people, anti-big business causes.
Clearly, there is only one motive for the murder of Fr. Fausto Tentorio: He took a bold stand against big mining interests, against the continuing militarization of the AFP in the area, and against those which trample upon the rights of the both the peasants and the Lumad. And, for the reactionary state, he is a thorn that needed to be pulled out in order for foreign monopoly interests to pillage the Arakan Valley and other parts of North Cotabato unhampered.
The NDFP-Mindanao, together with the entire revolutionary movement, is one with the Filipino people in calling for justice for the extra-judicial killing of Fr. Fausto Tentorio. The revolutionary movement is committed to render punishment against units and elements of the AFP, PNP or para-military groups responsible for carrying out extra-judicial killing operations.
Justice for Fr. Fausto Tentorio!
Justice for all victims of extra-judicial killings!
Defeat Oplan Bayanihan!
Down with imperialist plunder!
