EDITORIAL | On campaign by CPP-NPA-NFDP

The process of the Maoist ritual of myth-making is culminated by the burial of the subject myth hero. In the case of Joma Sison, his cult wanted that to happen in the Philippines.

Joma is their main symbol the infallible leader, principal ideologue, and their cult demigod. Being orthodox Maoist, the CPP is built among the personality cult of Joma Sison, their personification of Chairman Mao Tse Tung

They know that after Joma, they will be w/o a symbol and iconic leader. So, they will squeeze all propaganda value they can extract from his death. The most concreate and enduring way they can do is build a shrine for Joma where their zealots can worship and rally around.

That is why Joma's minions and their useful idiots are moving heaven and earth to make sure his body or ash will be brought back and buried in the Philippines.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: United Russia retains its supermajority despite losing seats in Russia's State Duma, the lower house of Parliament.

News of electoral "fraud" reported in the Western mainstream media is a way to de-legitimize Russia's election.

According to the Phil Insider staff, such electoral fraud was not true because of two things: 1) Putin's United Russia lost several of its seats due to lost of support 2) The gains of Communist Party.

United Russia lost popular support from 54.2% in 2016 to 49.82% this year. The lost of support in the ruling party is a clear message that the Russians are disappointed to their pension reforms. Meanwhile, main opposition party, the Communist Party saw huge gains in their popular vote, 18.93% (up 5.59% from 2016). The communists gain support because of their platforms and standing as the opposition party in the previous session of parliament where they held the current government accountable.

With the claims of electoral fraud unproven, foreign interference in Russia's election was clear with US-funded NGO instructing its attendees to make the said election illegitimate. See this link for reference: https://twitter.com/MuradGazdiev/status/1437773616154820613?s=20

With all of this, Russia held its parliamentary election in a generally peaceful way with the ruling party losing seats and the main opposition party emboldened with its recent wins.

WATCH: Former First Lady Imelda Marcos reminisces her encounter with Chairman Mao Zedong of China.

21/09/2021

EDITORIAL: Today, we commemorate the declaration of Martial Law. The dark era and the grim abuses, the media, opposition, and their supporters, were caused by Martial Law administrator Defense Minister Juan Ponce Enrile and Philippine Constabulary Fidel Ramos.

According to a reliable source, it was Ramos, in his capacity as Chief of Philippine Constabulary, who issued arrest orders to people in league with Joma Sison's CPP-NPA-NDFP. Camp Aguinaldo and Fort Bonifacio were served as special prisons under Defense Minister Enrile. It was Enrile himself who gave the order to release the said source. The source added that there are no records of human rights abuses to Generals Ver and Abadilla - Marcos' top men in AFP during that time.

Let us not forget that this issue of Martial Law is no longer a cautionary tale but a mere propaganda to prevent a Marcos from returning to power. The tale has been milked too much that the late Marcos' son, B**gbong Marcos almost won the vice presidency in 2016.

"Diktador si Marcos, at hindi niya napagbayaran nang husto ang krimen niya", said VP Leni.

However, PCGG recovered US$4 Billion of alleged ill-gotten wealth of Marcoses. Imelda was convicted for graft. Despite this, 14 million Filipinos voted for BBM as Vice President signifying a shift to the Philippine politics where the people, the masses, wanted a strong-willed politician who is willing to anger the establishment for the improvement of their beloved country. It is also the same for Imee's election as Senator in 2019.

Let us not forget that Cory Aquino appointed Fidel Ramos as Defense Secretary after Enrile resigned. Aquino even supported Ramos' candidacy setting aside her moral ascendancy just because the latter got her back during the multiple coups she faced during her term. Let us not forget that Juan Ponce Enrile who was elected as Senator by several times became the Senate President during PNoy's term - therefore, becoming the third most powerful figure after the latter and then-VP Binay.

What kind of moral ascendancy the Aquinos and the opposition have if they kept backing candidates who is obviously the mastermind of the grim implementation of Marcos' Martial Law?

Declaring Martial Law is legal and constitutional under the then-1935 Constitution of the Philippines. Such declaration needs an approval from both Houses of Congress and it was approved by the Senate and House of Representatives during that time.

Why did Marcos declare Martial Law? Because of the imminent rebellion and terrorism being perpetuated by Joma Sison's CPP-NPA-NDFP.

If Martial Law was really that bad according to the milked narratives of the opposition, why more and more people are already warming up to an idea of Marcos vice presidency or even a second Marcos presidency? The Filipino people wanted actions, not words. They want results.

If the opposition will continue to milk the issue of Martial Law without giving the result the Filipinos wanted if they are in power, they are doomed to fail in every elections and opportunities to come.

OPINION | Community Pantry: CPP's Alternative Way to Receive Financial Support

In January 2021, the Anti-Money Laundering Council has frozen all the assets and accounts of the terror group, Communist Party of the Philippines-New People's Army-National Democratic Front of the Philippines (CPP-NPA-NDFP). With this, the legal fronts of the said terror group had to find their way to finance their daily work, and propaganda against the government with their main source of finance has been frozen. The second surge of COVID-19 in the Philippines forced the government to put the capital region and its nearby provinces in a month-long lockdown.

The legal fronts of the terror group used the current lockdown to establish a community pantry along the metro where people may donate and receive goods. It also attracted the attention of the media. The purpose of the community pantry is to revive the Bayanihan spirit of the Filipino people during hard times. However, it has been hijacked by the legal fronts of the CPP (such as Anakbayan, Anakpawis, etc.) to promote their selfish and destructive agenda where they distribute pamphlets and magazines persuading people to join a rally against the government on May 1.

Ana Pauline Non is a member of the Concerned Artists of the Philippines; former head of Alay Sining; and national officer of Kabataang Artista Para sa Tunay na Kalayaan (Karatula) who started the idea of community pantry. All of the aforementioned organizations are legal fronts of Armas (Artista at Manunulat ng Sambayanan, the artist wing of CPP. She didn't receive money from the Filipino people to initiate the community pantry. She received a whopping US$10,000 (PHP484,000) in her PayPal account where she received donations from the international area. However, Non didn't disclose for the statement where did the donations go. With this new gimmick of the CPP, they are now able to collect financial support from international individuals despite their accounts being frozen by the AMLC.

We are asking the people to be vigilant on the organizers of the community pantry in their area to avoid their money being taken and used for illegal matters.

FACT CHECK | Debunking Anakbayan's Propaganda on AJ Lucena

There was no armed personnel (from PNP or NTF-ELCAC) who rescued AJ Lucena headed by Barangay 483 Chairman Leanor Arceo. A concerned citizen reported to Chairman Arceo that there are suspected cases of COVID-19 in a certain house located at #1434 Prudencio St, Brgy. 483, Sampaloc, Manila, based on the conversation heard from Sophia Banez, Secretary General of Anakbayan.

Chairman Arceo, the head of Brgy. 483 Health Office and a Barangay 483 councilor visited the said residence. Upon their visitation, 23 individuals were currently residing in the residence. They asked them to verify the information they received from a concerned citizen. One of the individuals told them that there were no suspected cases of COVID-19 in their residence. However, the barangay officials asked the individuals residing in #1434 to log their names on a logbook.

Relissa Lucena, spokesperson of Yakap ng Magulang and Hands Off Our Children member, saw a Facebook post from Anakbayan asking for a donation for the swabbing of their members. She coordinated with Barangay 483 officials in her hope that she will see her daughter. However, AJ Lucena's name was not on the logbook. The officials asked for the owner of the house and through their verification with Relissa, they found out that AJ Lucena is using "Claire Jovillana" as her name.

With this, Chairman Arceo, the head of Brgy. 483 Health Office, and Relissa Lucena rescued AJ Lucena when she visited the Barangay Office.

As of this posting, the individuals residing in #1434 refused to release their real identity. According to our anonymous reliable source, the residence in #1434 Prudencio St. serves as a hideout for Anakbayan as well as their connected Communist Terror Group and the person who overheard the conversation from Sophia Banez is emphasizing the IATF protocols the said group violated. The City of Manila, as part of NCR+ bubble, is under a stringent MECQ where mass gatherings are not allowed.

Because of this, there might be a possibility that they spread the virus to Barangay 483 community, therefore, endangering the lives of those individuals who are deemed at-risk of getting COVID-19.

BREAKING | The received an intercepted pastoral letter of Western Visayas Bishops, condemning the authorities and 's operations against the communist terrorist groups in Tumandok, IloIlo.

The letter will be in homilies of every church in western Visayas.

The Philippine Insider also managed to get a Response to the Pastoral Letter of Western Visayas Bishops on the Law Enforcement Operations against members of the CPP-NPA in Tapaz, Capiz.

From the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict regional.

"Our Bishops need to see the truth from the perspective of an unbiased mind.
They must set themselves free from all forms of biases, misconceptions, and one sided narratives that may have been fed to them by equally biased sources.
Only then can they say, we can all say, "That the truth shall set us free." (John 8:32).

We caution the bishops from making hasty, false, and presumptuous conclusions. We would like to think that you have all been misinformed. As Catholics, we adhere to the teachings of the Church but that does not equally mean that our Bishops are not prone to errors in judgment.

The individuals who were arrested were subjects of legitimately issued search warrants. You cannot conclude that atrocities were committed. That is simply irresponsible.

It is also irresponsible on your part to conclude that those who died in the police operations were deliberately killed. The use of reasonable force in the police operations were prompted by the fact that those who lost their lives engaged the law enforcement officers by force of arms during the implementation of the search warrants.

It is likewise a fallacy non sequitur when you equated the law enforcement operations in Tapaz, Capiz to the government's anti illegal drug campaign. In fact, your statistics of 27,000 is hyperbolic and unsupported by empirical data. We suppose you read it from an opinion paper by someone who is misinforned also just like you are in your Pastoral Letter. Allow us to correct also your use of the adjective "senseless" to describe the war against illegal drugs. Waging war against illegal drugs was, is, and will never be senseless. What lacks sense is the apathy of the minority to the evils of illegal drugs. We hope that you are one with us in condemning the evils brought about by illegal drugs in as much as both the Church and the State condemns child abuse, sexual abuse and all forms of sexual exploitation.

Contrary to what was fed to you by your misinformed sources, allow us to share to you the truth on those who were subjects of the search warrants. They are not who they seem to be as indicated in your Pastoral Letter. Again, we caution you on your use of the word atrocities. Allow us to remind you that you have been very very selective and biased in your use of the word "ATROCITIES".

Open your eyes and minds to the fact that the Tumandoks have long beem victims of atrocities by the CPP-NPA. They are forced to feed the NPAs. Their children are forcibly recruited to be child warriors for the NPA. Development had long been prevented by the NPA who capitalizes on the vulnerabilities of the indigenous peoples. Do not be deceived Bishops. Do not be victims to the lies and propaganda machinery of the CPP-NPA. They are in the same league with the Serpent in the Garden of Eden. Engage us in a dialogue and we will open your eyes to the Truth. Not the lies and deceptions that you have been fed.

We will also appreciate it if you issue Pastoral Letters everytime the CPP-NPA murder soldiers, policemen, and civilians. But the Truth is, your silence is deafening. When six soldiers were ambushed and killed and mutilated in Tapaz many years ago, wala kaming narinig na Pastoral Letter. When ten soldiers were killed in Calinog many years back, and the NPA used IEDs, we cannot recall our Bishops issuing a Pastoral Letter. When a child was injured by an IED triggered by the NPA in Tacayan, Tapaz a year ago, nasaan po ang inyong Pastoral Letter. The list goes on but the Pastoral Letter is nowhere there. Do not tell us that the Church is now selective on its "advocacies". This is not what the Gospels teach us. When you speak of militarization of the IP communities, we cannot but be amazed by the fact that your Pastoral Letter sounds like it rolled out from a CPP-NPA Propaganda Machinery. To correct your misinformed notion, there is no militarization of our barangays in Panay Island and the rest of the country. the term militarization is a creation of the CPP-NPA propaganda arm. We are wondering why you allowed yourselves to be used and exploited by the CPP-NPA Propaganda Machinery. Surely, you cannot validate nor sustain your claims of alleged militarization because there was none to speak of from the very start.

To end, dear Bishops. Let us revisit Divini Redemptoris, Encyclical of Pope Pius XI. It is stated there that in the face of such a threat (referring to communism), the Catholic Church could not and should not remain silent. Pope Pius IX states that communism is absolutely contrary to natural law itself, and if once adopted would utterly destroy the rights, property, and possessions of all men and even society itself. Pope Leo XIII, in his encyclical Quod Apostolici Muneris defined communism as the "fatal plague which insinuates itself into the very marrow of society only to bring about its ruin. "

Pope Pius XI states that the communism of today conceals in itself a false messianic idea. A pseudo ideal of justice. The encyclical reminds us not to be deceived by the duality and the deceptive ways of communism.

Hence, lest we forget our real enemy here. We hope that our Bishops can revisit Divini Redemptoris so that you can be enlightened in your future endeavors and decision making processes. We also request for prudence and objectivity lest you will fall victims to the deceptive propaganda campaign of the CPP-NPA.

Rest assured, this response to your Pastoral Letter does not diminish in any way my faith in God, my personal belief in the dogma of the Catholic Church, and in my friendship with many of our priests, most of whom are my colleagues from the seminaries where I spent 8 of the best years of my life. May the Good Lord bless and keep you."
