With the recent extension of martial law in the entire island, the
NPA in Southern Mindanao continues to defend the masses and exercises
political authority of the People’s Democratic Government in different
areas in the region. Two separate actions by NPA units over the weekend
resulted in casualties of two AFP intelligence operatives in Caraga,
Davao Oriental and 2 other enemy troops in Kitaotao, Bukidnon.
Sgt. Cerilo M. Galigaw and another intel operative were killed after
they resisted arrest and tried to shoot at Red fighters under the
Comval-Davao East Coast Sub-Regional Operations Command in Sitio
Logdeck, Brgy. Caningag in Caraga town, July 21, at around 12pm. Seized
from them were 2 caliber .45 pistols, cellphones, Galigaw’s
identification cards and his mission order document.
Sgt. Galigaw’s mission order confirmed his assignment under the
Philippine Army’s Military Intelligence Battalion as an agent operating
in Region 10, 11, 12 and 13. The other operative did not have any
identification with him.
Text messages in Sgt. Galigaw’s cellphone revealed he was on his way
to gather tactical information regarding the NPA’s most recent Prisoner
of War Alfredo Basabica, Jr., who was arrested in Cateel town last July
11.
An NPA unit was conducting a consultation among the masses who
earlier reported that several farmers in their communities were being
recruited by the 67IB to provide information on activities of civilians
and NPA units’ movement in the area. While the consultation was going
on, two men on board a motorcycle advancing toward the consultation
venue were spotted by the NPA’s blocking team. In their haste to escape
from the NPA team, the two men swerved their motorcycle, lost bearing
and toppled to the ground. Sgt. Galigaw was pinned down by the
motorcycle while his partner started to run away when Red fighters
called out for them several times to surrender. Both soldiers started to
draw their pistols, forcing the approaching Red fighters to defend
themselves and open fire.
Meanwhile, two troopers belonging to the 2nd Special Forces Company
of the 1st SF Battalion were killed while 9 others were severely wounded
following a successful demolition operation by an NPA unit under the
Mt. Apo Sub-Regional Operations Command against the enemy’s military
vehicle in Brgy. Kitubo, Kitaotao in Bukidnon, around 10pm, July 22.
Even before martial law, the AFP’s 2ndSF is notorious for terrorizing
civilians in Kitaotao, especially the Lumad families in Brgy. White
Culaman who were forced to evacuate in 2015 and were never able to
return to their farms and communities.
The railroaded extension of martial law in Mindanao will undoubtedly
embolden the AFP’s impunity to commit more serious human rights
violations against the masses. Already, Duterte is setting the stage for
an all-out attack against revolutionary forces, which, in AFP parlance
is every farmer, Lumad and child in the countryside.
On the other hand, it is sure to also intensify the Filipino people’s
sentiment against the Duterte regime, particularly the Moro and Lumad
people who are bearing the brunt of the state forces’ fascism. Five more
months of martial law will spell out intensified armed and legal
resistance from the Filipino people.
