20 Pamalakaya activists to swim tomorrow in Mactan waters to rebuff Gonzales
DoJ Secretary Gonzales told: There are no sharks in Mactan Strait

Leftwing militants belonging to Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya) on Monday said they are not afraid to be thrown to Mactan Strait and be fed to sharks because are no sharks in Mactan Strait.

“ In fact we are going to hold a fluvial protest and swim across the Mactan Channel during the 12th ASEAN Summit. Secretary Gonzales is a poor student of science and history. Sharks will not live in the highly polluted waters of the channel,” Pamalakaya national chair Fernando Hicap said in a press statement.

The militant leader said the only marine specie that could live and be found in the waters of Mactan Strait is galunggong or round scad, the favorite fish of the poor. To prove their point, tomorrow 20 Pamalakaya fisherfolk activists will swim from Talisay City to Malacañang of the South in Cebu City as part of the build up for major protests slated during the Asean meeting next month.

“ But there are crocodiles roaming around Mactan Channel. They wear uniforms, but we are not afraid of them too,” Hicap added referring to the combined elements of maritime police, navy and marines tasked to guard the Mactan Strait from alleged terrorists out to disrupt the international gathering of ASEAN chiefs of states.

Secretary Gonzales last week issued a life threatening statement against foreign and local activists that they would be feed to sharks if they proceed with their day-to-day protest activities against the holding of the 12th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) from December 11-13 in Cebu City.

The controversial justice secretary said intelligence reports had indicated that domestic and foreign activist groups would attempt to disrupt ASEAN’s Summit of Leaders from Dec. 11-13, but expressed optimism that the 15,000 combined security forces would be able to prevent them from conducting their protests.

Pamalakaya and its local affiliate Panahugpong ng Gagmayng Mananagat sa Sugbo (Pamana-Sugbo) together with militant party list group Anakpawis, International League of Peoples Struggle (ILPS) and Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) will organize a fluvial protest simultaneously with the opening of the 12th ASEAN meet in Cebu next month.

Around 50 fishing boats will sail from Cebu City to Old Mactan Bridge in Lapu-Lapu City. The activity is dubbed as People’s Fluvial Protest Against US War of Terror and Plunder. The militant group said around 50 fisherfolk activists will jump off and cross the Mactan Channel once they reach the Old Mactan Bridge on Dec.12.

“ Secretary Gonzales, a dying, aging and has-been politician has further exposed the bankruptcy of his boss and the ruling syndicate in Malacañang with his incorrigible and mind-boggling threat to the international and domestic communities of activists and patriots,” Pamalakaya’s Hicap added.

“ He is in the twilight years of his career as Jurassic politician in the country. But still he prefers to work for the devil rather than change and work for his redemption. History will not be kind to him and to his imperialist master and immediate lady boss in Malacañang,” Pamalakaya said. #
