Toe “ The Butcher’s line or face electoral defeat in 2007 polls?

Leaders of the activist fisherfolk alliance Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya) on Thursday warned three governors in Eastern Visayas of electoral defeat in May 2007 elections if they will not renege their support to the proposal of controversial Maj. General Jovito Palparan to outlaw the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and its’ alleged legal front organizations.

Palparan’s proposal to outlaw the CPP and alleged front groups received support of three governors in Eastern Visayas region- Gov. Rosete Lerias of Southern Leyte, Milagros Tan of Samar and Ben Evardone of Eastern Samar.

“ It is tantamount to endorsing the government’s national policy of killing leaders, mass activists and ordinary people critical of the present administration. The three rabid pro-Arroyo governors is offering the lives of activists and anti-Gloria common folks in Eastern Visayas at the altar of state repression and state sponsored terrorism,” Pamalakaya said.

The militant group said the three governors are supporting the military’s Oplan Bantay Laya counter-insurgency program in eliminating all underground and mainstream Left groups in the region.

Pamalakaya also said the endorsement of Palparan’s proposal to outlaw the CPP and legal democratic organizations in Eastern Visayas was a tacit approval of future political killings in the region victimizing mass activists and ordinary people in the region.

“ They want to transform Eastern Visayas into a major regional killings for President Arroyo’s death squads for the sake of the Chief Executive’s political survival and that is totally reprehensible and highly revolting,” said Pamalakaya national chair Fernando Hicap.

Hicap further added: “ If they insist, we will have no other choice but to mount a regional and provincial wide campaign rejecting their candidacy in the 2007 national elections. Their electoral defeat would be at the center of our electoral agenda in 2007 in the region.”

Pamalakaya said that’s the price the three governors of Eastern Visayas have to pay for upholding the Gospel of terrorism espoused by Palparan and his principals in the national security cluster of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

The militant group likewise lambasted Eastern Samar Gov. Evardone for supporting Palparan’s suggestion to outlaw the CPP and militant organizations like Pamalakaya, which was alleged as one of the legal fronts of the communist party.

“ Please allow us to remind Evardone of his roots. What happen to his principles being a former student leader activist in University of the East-Recto who fought against tuition fee increases and university-wide suppression of academic freedom? Did he sell his principles to the devil just to become a bureaucrat capitalist and rabid anti-Left political animal?” Pamalakaya asked.

Pamalakaya said Gov. Evardone was once the president of UE-Recto student council and the editor-in-chief of the militant school publication “ The Dawn” in mid-80s, after the fall of former President Ferdinand Marcos in 1986.

“ This guy merely used the mainstream Left for his political ambition and that is horrible and grossly immoral on his part,” the group said. #
