Philippine Army troops undermine truce, provoke MILF fighters in Lanao

March 29, 2012 – Troops of the 15th Infantry Battalion (IB) of the Philippine Army had been massing up since early morning today at an area bordering Tagoloan and Panggao in the municipality of Munai,  Lanao del Norte.
Tagoloan and Panggao are interior areas and known as MILF community in Munai. When a firefight would transpire in the area between the government soldiers and MILF mujahideen, then it would be a situation similar to the encounter in Bakisung, Al Barka, Basilan last October 18, 2011.

The past days, these government soldiers had been deploying troops and moving around the area in utter disregard of the ceasefire accord between the Government of the Philippines (GPH) and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).

Statement on the 43rd Founding Anniversary of the New People’s Army

The revolutionary movement in Mindanao has comprehensively advanced in the last five years and more so in the first two years of the US-Aquino regime in all spheres of our people’s war in spite of the widespread and intensified Oplan Bayanihan (OPB) brutal suppression campaign. The New People’s Army is becoming stronger; the agrarian revolution has deepened and expanded; the mass base and organized masses have increased; the revolutionary political influence has broadened, the Party that leads the struggle has strengthened and rooted more deeply among the masses. We are clearly gaining ground in our march towards the fulfillment of our tasks set forth by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Philippines.
