NPA’S ANTI-YOUTH SCHEME

“Inutile Left-Fielded KABATAAN PLG”

The New People’s Army (NPA) showed no remorse for its uncalled for arson of around 3.5 million pesos worth of school building inside Doongan High School in Quezon province. After the incident, the rebels overturned the Philippine flag and made an indignant call for indiscriminate offensives against the state government. Their victory is an open attack against a civilian unit, which the rebels claimed to protect. Are the displaced Doongan youths, who would be taking the toll on the incident as the classes open next year, mere part of the Communist’s collateral damages? True enough, the youth sector’s best interests are the least of the Communist Party’s concerns excluding their value as another queue of recruits whom Jose Maria Sison would be ordering around. This shows how the Communist-supported KABATAAN Partylist is nothing less but a sham used to persuade gullible minors to echo their propaganda in Kamara.

It is not a secret that the country’s educational facilities continue to scale back. They are either on poor quality or else lacking. This for one is a factor why poverty continues to rise particularly in the rural outskirts as illiteracy and population bloat. For no apparent reason, the CPP-NPA did the public a favor and unmasked themselves by brandishing their so-called brute nature that involves pointing their guns on innocent civilians. Other than using locals to gather a few more push-overs for the NPA ranks and a few more milking cows to finance their crimes, the people are also being used as election leverage where they could squeeze out votes for political honchos that pay them millions worth of protection money and to support their fielded candidates that will either push for their interest in the Legislative floor.

Locals of Quezon province are being pressed against the wall. They are being intimidated over and again by the Communist forces. The raid in San Narciso Municipal Police Station (MPS) last December 20 was a way to emasculate the law enforcement units in the area; a fitting tool to compel the locals to believe that they are ripe for the NPA’s “picking”. And as an ending statement of terror, the NPA hit the province with a huge blow by targeting one of its education facilities. These are all part of the grandiose mission of alienating the province and muscle-flexing its forces for a so-called all-out offensive to the state.

But is it not interesting to note that the NPA opted to intimidate the youth sector which they also “represent” using KABATAAN PLG in the near 2010 elections? The arson in Doongan HS proves how the CPP-NPA and its affiliate people’s organizations trash-out their self-imposed political viewpoints that include their supposed initiatives to help out in the legal processes by motivating “vulnerable” sectors in the country. These are all part of a pre-written script to deceive us and merely exploit our own democratic space for their advantage.

Where does KABATAAN stand as their comrades continue to pick on the youth’s interests? Are they playing dumb, blind and stupid in the case of the Doongan HS arson? If the NPA had mustered the nerve to tear-down eight classrooms in Quezon just to show off their strength, what else would stop them from making another assault against non-combatant installations or else personalities? The NPA had stepped-on the youth’s rights over and again and they had done so by turning classrooms into worthless pieces of ash. Should we allow them roam unaccountable for their crimes? Where are the mobilizations or protests that these progressive groups hold to give justice to the victimized youths in Doongan? Why are they keeping mum on the aggression of the NPA towards unsuspecting youth in Quezon?
