Pero, mga mars, need rin ata ng CPP ng reality check—isang pagtutuwid sa pambabaluktot at propaganda ng kilusan.

A year after the conviction of former Bayan Muna Representative Satur Ocampo, ACT Teachers Partylist Representative France Castro, and 13 others over a child abuse incident in Talaingod, Davao del Norte, the former secretary of Southern Mindanao Regional Party Committee’s Subregion 5 offered an insider’s look into the underground structure that she said was behind the “rescue mission.” Ida Marie Montero, or Ka Mandy, shared details that painted a picture far more complex

During the celebration of the third anniversary of Davao del Norte being declared insurgency-free, held at the Davao del Norte Sports Complex on July 26, Governor Edwin I. Jubahib emphasized the importance of continuing to deliver services such as housing, roads, schools, and health facilities in order to sustain peace and prevent the resurgence of insurgency.

Sa pagdiriwang ng ikatlong anibersaryo ng pagiging insurgency-free ng Davao del Norte na ginanap sa Davao del Norte Sports Complex nitong ika-26 ng Hulyo, binigyang-diin ni Governor Edwin I. Jubahib ang kahalagahan ng patuloy na paghahatid ng serbisyo tulad ng pabahay, kalsada, eskwelahan at mga pangkalusugang pasilidad upang mapanatili ang kapayapaan at hindi na manumbalik pa ang insurhensya.

Sa harap ng patuloy na pag-uudyok ng Communist Party of the Philippines–New People's Army–National Democratic Front of the Philippines (CPP-NPA-NDFP) ng digmang bayan, kailangang malakas na ipahayag ng taumbayan ang katotohanan: ang tunay na sagka sa kapayapaan ay ang patuloy na paghahasik ng karahasan ng armadong kilusan.

A former University of the Philippines student leader revealed that the recent controversy surrounding the resignation of a Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) student leader goes beyond the issue of corruption, saying it is a common occurrence in student councils that are led by “activist organizations.” 

This editorial cartoon captures that reality: a red crosshair targets individuals who have already walked away from the violence and now work toward healing and reintegration. The CPP’s scarlet letter is clear: leave the revolution, and you become the enemy. But many former rebels refuse to be silenced or shamed. Their courage in choosing a different path threatens the CPP’s hold over its shrinking ranks. This is not betrayal. This is deliverance from a war that never d

DAVAO DEL NORTE—Mula sa mahigit isang dekadang pakikibaka sa kabundukan tungo sa silid-aralan — ito ang makabuluhang landas na tinahak ni Bernabe Cañon, dating deputy secretary ng Regional Ordnance Group (ROG) sa ilalim ng Southern Mindanao Regional Committee (SMRC) ng CPP-NPA-NDF.

But herein lies the truth: former rebels are being called traitors not because we abandoned the people’s cause, but because we stopped obeying the CPP. What we “handed over” was not allegiance to the masses, but the power the Party once had over our lives. And for that, they mark us with the word "traitor" like a scarlet letter, in a desperate attempt to erase our agency, delegitimize our choices, and scare others from following the same path.

“Nagsurrender ako sa Arakan, North Cotabato noong 2021, pero dito sa Davao del Norte na ako nagpatulong maasikaso ang aking mga kaso dahil mas malapit ito sa CARAGA,” ani Tay Chris. “Mula noon ay dito na rin ako tumira sa Balay Panaghiusa at naging aktibo sa Kalinaw SEMR.”

"Ang pagbigay amnestiya sa mga balik loob ay malaking tulong para maging panatag ang kanilang buhay at kabuhayan na walang kinatatakutan maliban lang sa CPP-NPA-NDF na kanilang tinalikuran," said Rialyn J.

[Granting amnesty to former rebels is a significant help in making their lives and livelihoods secure, without fear—except from the CPP-NPA-NDF which they ha

“Kaya't nang inabot ng gobyerno ang kanilang kamay, pinili kong sumama sa landas ng kapayapaan,” Ani ni Ka Aryo. “Pinili kong magbalik-loob. Pinili kong piliin ang kapayapaan kaysa sa walang katapusang labanan.”

The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), which often touts its revolutionary ideals, has not been immune to this insidious mentality. In a striking statement about the upcoming Unity Run for Peace planned for September, Marco Valbuena, the CPP’s chief information officer, dismissed the event as nothing more than a facade for government corruption and a false promise of peace. Such words not only reveal an alarming sense of desperation but also a stubborn adherence to out

“They claim they rescued our children. But we ask—rescued from whom?” the council asked. “Our children were not rescued. They were used, exposed to danger, and removed without our knowledge or consent. That is exploitation dressed as solidarity.”

“I believed the people's war would succeed,” he said. “For nearly two decades, I trained myself and others, enduring hardship and sacrifice for the cause.” But the deeper Felix got into the movement, the more disillusioned he became. From 1996 to 2004, he witnessed firsthand the stark inequality within the leadership of the CPP-NPA. While preaching about justice, some high-ranking cadres lived in luxury, refused accountability, and mirrored the very oppressive systems they
