The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Monday, March 12, remains firm on its decision to formally brand 649 individuals linked to the communist group, as terrorists.<\/p>\n

According to the petition filed by the DOJ last Friday, the list included founding chairman of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) Jose Maria Sison \u201cJoma\u201d Sison and United Nations (UN) special rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples Victoria Tauli-Corpuz.<\/p>\n

Other individuals listed were communist rebels from CPP and its armed group New People\u2019s Army (NPA) a.k.a. Bagong Hukbong Bayan and National Democratic Front (NDF) peace negotiators Luis Jalandoni, Coni Ledesma, Randall Echanis, and Rafael Baylosis. The petition was filed before the National Capital Region (NCR) Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 19.<\/p>\n

Justice Vitaliano Aguirre II defended that the list they submitted was not \u201cbaseless and malicious\u201d as what Corpuz claimed it to be. The latter also said that the government sees this as an opportunity \u201cto pursue people they don\u2019t like,\u201d adding that she feared for her safety and for the safety of others included in the list.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis list is a product of research and evidence supplied by police authorities and intelligence agencies,\u201d\u00a0Aguirre was quoted as saying in a Philstar report.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf they have evidence to the contrary, they should just answer the petition and the court will hear them. This case should not be tried through the media,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The justice secretary also stressed that this petition was filed after the government concluded peace negotiations with the rebels.<\/p>\n

In its appeal, the DOJ cited Section 17 of Republic Act (RA) No. 9372 of \u2018The Human Security Act of 2007,\u2019 seeking the declaration of the CPP, NPA, also known as Bagong Hukbong Bayan, as terrorist and outlawed organizations, associations and\/or group of persons.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is declared a policy of the State to protect life, liberty, and property from acts of terrorism, to condemn terrorism as inimical and dangerous to the national security of the country and to the welfare of the people, and to make terrorism a crime against the Filipino people against humanity, and against the law of nations,\u201d the petition read.<\/p>\n

The government last month made its first step to declare CPP-NPA as terrorist organization pursuant to President Rodrigo Duterte\u2019s proclamation.<\/p>\n
