ANAD warns government anew

QUEZON CITY  –  “In no certain terms and conditions would the Maoist terrorist CPP-NPA-NDF give in and jointly seek the path towards peace with government. But their unwavering demonic obsession seeking the collapse of our country’s democracy and government remains high and above all,” said ANAD Rep. Jun Alcover as he slammed the claims of Maoist terrorist CPP-NPA-NDF stalwarts Jose Ma. Sison and Jorge Madlos, in separate statements,  that defended (sic!) their revolutionary group’s continued extortion, in the guise of “revolutionary tax”, against big businesses, including mining companies; groups and individuals.

“I am so much concerned about this especially with the forthcoming peace talks just a month away and the non-formal discussion in Norway already set on January 14 to 18, 2011. Sison’s cabal of pretenders is acting as if they have a legal and constitutionally established government in this country,” said Rep. Alcover.

Rep. Alcover expressed exasperation on the seeming reluctance of government, under President Benigno Simeon Aquino III, to impose its legal mantle and authority against the Maoist terrorist claim. “While it is the responsibility of government to reach out and hold discussions for peace with any group, it does not follow that any group that government is talking to could assume legitimacy of status and allowed to establish its own system of governance,” Rep. Alcover said as he emphasized that there is only one government in the country duly established by the constitution.

“ANAD is deeply concerned about these unfolding developments where government seems reluctant to impose its authority over all groups espousing de-facto authority of governance, particularly on the imposition and collection of taxes,” Rep. Alcover explained.

The statements of both Joma Sison and Jorge Madlos should cause government’s serious concern. “Issuing statements expressing its intention to continue extorting from mining companies, businesses, and individuals, under the highly surreptitious and deceptive claim of pro-people programs of the Maoist terrorist CPP-NPA-NDF, is tantamount to open declaration of belligerence against a constitutionally established government,” Rep. Alcover stressed.

“Thus looking few steps further and in relation to the forthcoming peace talks, the Filipino people and government should not expect any thing positive to come out. Maoist terrorist twitting and dubious display of character is always evident so as their insincerity and utter disregard for peace,” he quipped.
