Cumpio, Domequil and Abinguna may have performed real public work. That does not rule out the fact that they also served the CPP's underground structure.

Ilang buwan bago siya natagpuan kasama ng isang medic ng NPA sa Cabuyao City, naiugnay na si Pasion sa NPA sa Occidental Mindoro. At ang unang nagkumpirma na kasama niya si Pasion sa NPA ay hindi ang Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), kundi ang kapwa niya U.S. citizen na si Chantal Anicoche. Mahalagang balikan ang detalyeng ito ngayong inilalarawan ng International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines (ICHRP) at Karapatan si Pasion bilang isang “activist” o “c

Ngayon, nakabalik na ako sa lungsod at nakakabalita na sa mga nakilala ko at nakasama ko sa lungsod, at pakikibakang parlyamentaryo, hindi ko maiwasan mapansin ang agwat namin. Yung mga naging instruktor ko sa BKP* ay mga instruktor na ngayon sa iba’t ibang kulehiyo sa UP. May mga parangal, may mga posisyon, may mga katungkulan. Yung mga nakasama ko sa mga Cultural Night upang pataasin ang kapasyahang tumungo sa kanayunan ay nagpopost ng stories na nasa gym na may mamahali
