NPA ambushes abusive Davao City Army unit, hitting 9 casualties
In desperation to perpetuate
itself in power, it is expected that the US-Duterte regime will use all
sinister means, not least conspiracy theories, to justify its rising
tyranny against the people. As the AFP’s Eastern Mindanao Command tries
urgently to whip up hysteria with the regime’s self-concocted Red
October plot, the New People’s Army units in the region are frustrating
the enemy’s encirclement campaigns through intensified guerrilla
warfare.
Less than an hour after the firefight,
attack helicopters rained bombs and artillery fire near Sitio Indawhong
and adjacent Sitio Kalachuchi. For almost 24 hours, the area was
continuously mortared, prompting the evacuation of at least 42 families
or more than 200 civilians from the two communities.
The masses of Davao City rejoice this
recent tactical offensive against an atrocious AFP battalion responsible
for the spate of extra-judicial killings, numerous forced and fake
surrenders of civilians, intimidation and forced recruitment under the
Martial Law in Mindanao.
The NPA ambuscade was carried out as
revolutionary justice against the 3rd IB, whose abusive troops have
wreaked tumult in the lives of Lumad and peasants with vicious impunity,
emboldened by the fascist instigations of both GRP Pres. Rodrigo
Duterte and his daughter Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte.
Since 2017, in desperate attempt to
attack the revolutionary movement in Davao City, operatives or uniformed
elements of the 3rd IB turned against civilians and killed farmer and
construction worker Ariel Gelberio and motorcycle driver Roel Satingasin
in Brgy. Lamanan, farmer Rodolfo Dagahuya, Jr. in Brgy. Dominga, farmer
couple Jezreel and Dalia Arrabis in Brgy. Tamayong and farmer Meling
Calawag in Brgy. Salapawan.
The 3rd IB’s fascist crimes escalated
this year. In Marilog District, 3rd IB troopers were responsible for
ransacking several houses of civilians in Brgy. Tamugan and Brgy. Suawan
in at least two incidents. In Calinan District, a peasant family was
held at gunpoint and forced to admit to keeping a cache of arms for the
NPA. Failing to find anything, the Army forced the family to surrender
and tagged them as NPA supporters.
In Brgy. Tawan-tawan, Baguio District
last July, farmers were subjected to psychological torture, held
incommunicado for several days and forced to surrender as NPA fighters
following a firefight between 3rd IB troops and Red fighters. In all
aforementioned districts, and including Paquibato, Toril and Tugbok
districts, civilians were coerced to surrender as either NPA fighters or
supporters and forced to enlist as members of the CAFGU in order to
“clear their names.”
With all these atrocities under its
belt, it is preposterous for the 3rd IB to boast that the masses of
Davao City are embracing Oplan Kapayapaan and is supportive of the
Martial Law in Mindanao. Unlike the shock, terror and psychological
warfare operations of the fascist AFP troops in the Lumad and peasant
communities, Red fighters are immersed in the countryside 24/7, ready to
defend the lives and livelihood of Lumad and peasants.
