Reds to frustrate AFP’s all-out-war in Negros, says rebel spox
A rebel spokesperson has said that communist insurgents will frustrate government forces from waging an ‘all-out war’ on Negros Island.
In a press statement, Juanito Magbanua, spokeperson for the New People’s Army’s Apolinario Gatmaitan Command - Negros Island, said their fighters, together with the revolutionary masses in the whole island, “will frustrate the fascist US-Duterte regime’s “all-out war” in Negros.”
Magbanua said the recent announcement of an “all-out war” in Negros by military chief General Carlito Galvez, “demonstrate the brutal and devious extent to which the armed apparatus of the state could be mobilized in defense of the big landlords and compradors.”
But according to Magbanua, the all-out-war also aims to further expand the scope of the political crackdown against activists and mass movements in Negros.
“Their brave resistance will awaken a broad range of masses and earn the active support of various democratic sectors,” Magbanua said. — Joviland Rita/RSJ, GMA News
