QUEZON CITY  –  “Sec. Llamas must identify who among those in government are the so-called ‘extreme communists’ and those he alleged are his comrades in the Democratic Left.”

This is ANAD Rep. Jun Alcover’s reaction to President Political Adviser Sec. Ronald Llamas’ admission that “...the Democratic Left is gaining influence in government with its push for peaceful reforms...” before students and military officers of the National Defense College of the Philippines, in Camp Aguinaldo, last March 23 (03/24/12, www.manilastandardtoday.com).

Rep. Alcover challenged Sec. Llamas saying, “If he is sincere in exposing the socalled ‘extreme communists’, he should reveal the names of the people when he said “...Communist extremists were becoming irrelevant with their call for armed revolution.” (03/24/12, www.manilastandardtoday.com).

Rep. Alcover pointed out that Llamas’ acknowledgement validates the accuracy and truthfulness of what ANAD had been saying. “These are not figments of one’s imagination or product of wishful thinking. But these are facts borne out of what is happening in our midst vis-a-vis the doctrines of communism, in all its forms.” he added.

The sole pro-democracy solon in the House of Representatives remained skeptic about Llamas’ revelation saying, “At present, Llamas’ so-called Democratic Left remains aligned and conjoined with the ‘extreme communist’ forces,” said Rep. Alcover citing joint efforts of the Rejectionists’ Akbayan Rep. Kaka Bag-ao and the Reaffirmists’ Bayan Muna Rep. Neri Colmenares as members of the House Prosecuting Team in the impeachment case against Chief Justice Renato Corona. This is aside from the many protest actions against government jointly undertaken by both Llamas’ Rejectionist and the Reaffirmist ‘extreme communists’ sectoral front organizations led Bagong Alyansa Makabayan (BAYAN), he added.

In the same breadth, Rep. Alcover dared Sec. Llamas to support his claim that his Rejectionist group currently, “... pushes for a platform of political reform within the bounds of law and the Philippine Constitution.”

“He could easily do this because as Political adviser of the President, Llamas could influence and persuade President Aquino III to stop the peace talks that has now become senseless due to the dramatics well played-up by the Maoist terrorist CPP-NPA-NDF leadership,” Rep. Alcover added.

“Likewise, Llamas must come out into the open to expose, oppose, and isolate the extreme communists whose leaders, he (Llamas) said had long been wanting to overthrow the government and seize political power through violent means guided by the principle of protracted war,” Rep. Alcover stressed.
