QUEZON CITY – The
pro-democracy
Alliance
for Nationalism and Democracy (ANAD) Partylist strongly condemned
Maoist terrorist NPA’s rampage in Brgy. Taylor, Las Navas, Northern
Samar killing John Lloyd Elizalde, 4 years old, while inside their
house, last April 26.
ANAD field reports
disclosed that about 20 Maoist terrorist NPAs entered the village at
about 8:00 am of April 26 and indiscriminately fired their firearms
with their gun muzzles leveled against the houses in the area. “These
(firearms) were not fired just to scare people but purposely to kill
with houses in the area peppered with bullet holes. Luckily only the
4-year old boy was killed” the
ANAD report stated.
“ANAD shall support,
in any way, the human rights complaint that the barangay officials,
led by Brgy. Chair Marie Claire Tuling, and other residents shall file
against the terrorist NPAs with the Commission on Human Rights (CHR)
in Region 8 or in Manila,” said Rep. Alcover.
“This is a clear case
of brute force and violence used by Maoist terrorist NPAs to
intimidate and harass our innocent and helpless brothers in the
countryside to exact complete submission and compliance from them,”
said ANAD Rep. Jun Alcover as he called on government to fully
use the force of the law to protect our people against bands of
terrorists preying on unarmed and helpless Filipinos.
The same report said
that the recent NPA attack was mainly caused by the terrorists’ anger
after the residents shied away from a life of fear and violence by
utterly refusing to take heed of the terrorists’ orders and demands.
“The residents’ decision to stop giving foodstuffs and money every
month drew blood out of the NPA leaders in the area,” said a resident
who requested anonymity.
ANAD Rep. Alcover
called on all Filipinos to close ranks and strengthen further the bond
that unites us against the violent and merciless NPAs. “No amount of
force could ever break a strong and determined people to stand up
against Godlessness and inhumanity!
Violence is the wicked
weapon easily used by the Maoist terrorist NPAs against God-fearing
Filipinos. But it needs the strong will-power of a people, whose love
for freedom and peace reigns high, to effectively confront and oppose
all selfish designs and intentions spawned by a violent and Godless
ideology,” he stressed.
