MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— A group of former rebels on Friday questioned the motives of the communist movement and its leaders in prolonging the armed struggle despite the country’s substantial development and progress.<\/p>\n

\u201cWala nang gulo, bakit gumagawa ng ikakagulo? Ang<\/em>\u00a050\u00a0taong digmaang sibil ay gusto pang pahabain ng mga komunista<\/em>\u00a0(There is no more chaos, why are they still fighting a war? It seems they are eager to prolong the 50 years of civil war),\u201d said Ka Dario Bolivar, spokesperson and leader of La Liga Independencia Filipinas.<\/p>\n

The group, consisting of 300 former rebels, picketed at the historic Don Chino Roces Bridge (formerly Mendiola Bridge) in Manila to call on Filipinos to reject the so-called idealism being peddled by the Communist Party of the Philippine (CPP) and its armed wing, New People’s Army (NPA).<\/p>\n

The group was joined by other anti-communist organizations, including Liga Maralita, Youth Power Against Destabilization and Terrorism, Sambayanan, and Kilusan para sa Pilipinismo.<\/p>\n

\u201cMas minabuti pa ng<\/em>\u00a0NPA\u00a0na magkaroon ng digmaan kesa mag usap sa lokal na antas. Karamihan sa ugat at kadahilanan ng rebelyon ay naka ukit sa mga lokal na sitwasyon<\/em>\u00a0(The NPA chose to have a war instead of negotiating peace at the local level. Most of the problems that they are fighting for are in the grassroots level),\u201d Bolivar added.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) spokesperson, Col. Noel Detoyato said the 50-year struggle is nothing but a failure.<\/p>\n

“CPP-NPA\u2019s 50-year rebellion is an utter failure as it only resulted (in) loss of lives and destruction to properties. If there is anything significant to the CPP-NPA\u2019s existence, it is the 50 years of violence, injustice, atrocities, deceit and lies,\u201d Detoyato told the Philippine News Agency (PNA) on Thursday.<\/p>\n

He added that the communist movement continuously hampers the peace and development in some areas of the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe leaders, members, and supporters of the communist terrorist group should be ashamed of themselves for bringing years of hardships and misery to our people,” Detoyato said.<\/p>\n

It was also earlier reported that the communist rebels are raking in millions of pesos extorting money from candidates especially during elections.<\/p>\n

“Let us unite in encouraging our misled brothers and sisters in the CPP-NPA to end the armed struggle and embrace the path to peace,” he said.<\/p>\n

Both the United States government and the European Union have listed the CPP-NPA as terrorist organizations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
