Disinformation at grooming: paano nito pinapalakas ang recruitment at nagpapahirap sa reintegrasyon ng kabataan? Kami mismo ay saksi sa malinaw na pattern—maling impormasyon at emosyonal na manipulasyon ang unang hakbang.

✅ Nagpapakita ito ng takot, nagbubuo ng maling identidad, at sinisira ang tiwala ng pamilya at komunidad.

Ang resulta: mas mahirap na reintegrasyon sa normal na buhay at nagiging hadlang ang stigma sa kanilang proseso ng rehabilitasyon.

Ano ang magagawa natin? Magtulungan—edukasyon sa media literacy, community support para sa pamilyang apektado, at transparent na impormasyon mula sa lokal na awtoridad.

Bakit muling nag-aaktibo ang Anakbayan sa ibang bansa — palakas ng international solidarity o senyales ng pag-urong sa loob ng Pilipinas? Bilang Kontra Kwento, inilalatag namin ang ebidensiya: mula sa pagkakaroon ng chapters sa US, Canada, Australia, hanggang sa bagong pagtatatag sa Japan — bahagi ito ng mas malawak na international network na konektado sa ILPS, BAYAN, at Migrante. Ngunit kasabay ng reaktibasyon ang mga kuwento ng panganib: mga Fil‑Am na nasangkot sa armadong tunggalian at nasawi o nawawala. Ito ang debate: recruitment at diaspora organizing bilang legitimate advocacy — o tulay patungo sa mas mapanganib na landas? Basahin ang malinaw at direktang pagsusuri namin sa mga dating kadre, internasyonal na mobilization, at human cost. Makibahagi sa pag-uusap: ano ang tamang paraan para maglingkod sa bayan mula sa abroad — advocacy at reintegrasyon, o ibang landas? Ibahagi ang iyong pananaw. See less

Sa abroad, ang Anakbayan ay nagsisilbing legal at open front na nagpo-promote ng linya ng kilusan, lalu na ng armadong pakikibaka bilang primaryong anyo.

As Elena reviewed the records, she saw how resources obtained through humanitarian appeals moved through systems that also benefited the New People’s Army.
Donors believed they were helping vulnerable communities prepare for disasters. Community members believed they were participating in programs intended to improve daily life. Many volunteers believed they were serving humanitarian causes.
For years, Elena had viewed this as part of a larger political struggle. But in that moment, she thought about the funding proposals that emphasized helping poor farmers. She thought about the supporters who contributed money believing it would reach communities facing hardship.
The resources reached those communities, but they also reached terrorists that caused armed conflict. That realization stayed with her...

Negros Occidental Governor Eugenio Jose Lacson’s call for school administrators to be more aware of student activities on campus has opened another familiar debate. Where does responsible campus oversight end, and where does political surveillance begin?

The question surfaced after Gov. Lacson urged school officials to be vigilant amid reports of recruitment activities linked to the armed movement. His statement came days after Vince Francis Dingding, a former University of the Philippines Cebu student leader, was among five suspected New People’s Army rebels killed in a May 16 encounter with government troops in Cauayan, Negros Occidental.

Lacson defended his position by saying there was “nothing wrong” with school officials knowing what activities were taking place among young people inside their campuses. He also clarified that his concern was not necessarily about students immediately joining the NPA, but about activities that could eventually lead them in that direction.

Youth groups under the national democratic movement saw it differently. Kabataan Partylist Negros and its Visayas officials warned that the governor’s remarks could encourage schools to act as extensions of the state’s intelligence apparatus. They described the call as a threat to academic freedom and a possible step toward profiling student activists.

CPP-NPA-NDF MAMAMATAY TAO!!!

Limang taon na ang lumipas, ngunit nananatiling sariwa sa alaala ng marami ang trahedyang kumitil sa buhay ni Keith Absalon at ng kanyang pinsan na si Nolven. Mga kabataang may pangarap, talento, at kinabukasang dapat sana’y patuloy na namamayagpag, ngunit naging biktima ng karahasang walang puwang sa isang mapayapang lipunan. Ang kanilang kuwento ay paalala na ang bawat inosenteng buhay na nawawala dahil sa karahasan ng teroristang CPP-NPA-NDF ay isang kinabukasang hindi na maibabalik. Sa paggunita sa kanilang alaala, patuloy nating panindigan ang kapayapaan, pananagutan, at pagprotekta sa buhay ng bawat Pilipino.
