Production platoon: Partner in building guerrilla bases
In one of Southern Mindanao’s subregions, the production platoon serves as one of the machineries being used to build and invigorate guerrilla bases. It is a special platoon of the New People’s Army (NPA) whose particular role is to ensure that the production programs of barrio revolutionary committees (BRC) and full-fledged mass organizations are implemented.
The production platoon is composed of fulltime NPA members, most of whom come from the people’s militia and local Party branch. Aside from their rifles, the platoon members always carry as their secondary weapon their lagaraw—long single-edged machetes with bent tips usually used to clear fields and underbrush. They help build communal farms and advance the practice of mutual exchange of labor. They are also active in encouraging communities to maintain vegetable patches in every yard.
Since the platoon was formed six months ago, it has built a six-hectare demonstration farm in order to teach the masses progressive farming techniques such as multi-cropping and organic farming. It has also planted up to 20 hectares of land to banana, pineapple, corn, sweet potato, cassava and fruit trees like durian, mangosteen and marang.
Up to 130 farmers helped in building the first demonstration farm. Animal dispersal is also practiced in the communal farms.
After tilling and planting the demonstration farm, the platoon transferred its management to the Pambansang Katipunan ng Magbubukid (PKM).
The revolutionary government also utilizes the production platoon to provide services to the masses, such as building schools. Its members have also played a major role in revitalizing mass organizations through sustained production activities, which is a key factor in advancing other campaigns and in building and operating organs of political power.
Nonetheless, this doesn’t mean that it is only the production platoon that engages in production. It has been a practice in the entire region for other NPA platoons to purposely allot time for production and to open farms in every place they base themselves in. Whenever there are activities such as big gatherings for consolidation, they allot 30 minutes a day for production. The only difference is that the production platoon’s task puts particular stress on sustained production work.
On the other hand, the production platoon is not limited to production work. From time to time, it also launches tactical offensives and conducts propaganda work, especially on the importance of building a self-reliant economy and developing economic work for people’s war as the framework of the democratic people’s government’s current economic work.
It also engages in education work. Ideological, political and organizational work is alive within the platoon, with the Party branch exercising dynamic leadership. Wherever its work takes it, the production platoon always leaves behind the seeds it has sown. ~

By Mark Salanga, ABS-CBN News Negros Occidental
Posted at 01/24/2014 5:08 PM
NEGROS OCCIDENTAL - Around 20 armed men believed to be New People's Army (NPA) fighters torched a warehouse and a farm tractor in Kabankalan City, Negros Occidental Wednesday night.
The farm, located in Santa Isabel in Barangay Camansi, is owned by the Sola family.
Aside from burning down the warehouse and farm tractor, the rebels also decapitated the cattle in the farm.
They also disarmed five security guards, tied them up, and took away their cellphones.
The suspects carted away two 12-gauge shotguns, 64 live ammunition and a .45-caliber pistol.
The guards were only able to report the incident to the police the next day after the suspects left early morning.
According to police, members of the Sola family have been receiving threats from the NPA because of their refusal to give something that the rebels have been asking from them.

War games are exercises regularly conducted by the NPA to maintain the Red fighters' war footing. Experience dictates that their offensive posture gives them the courage and enthusiasm to thwart the enemy and achieve victories.

NPA-Abra mounts series of attacks vs 41st IB
 Diego Wadagan
Spokesperson NPA Abra Provincial Operations Command
(Agustin Begnalen Command)
Delayed field reports from the Procopio Tauro Front (PTF-NPA) confirmed that Red Guerrillas torched the Company Command Post of the Bravo Company, 41st Infantry Batallion, in Mataragan, Malibcong, Abra. The incident took place on on the night of February 8, 2014. Fifteen (15) camp structures were burned to the ground. Troops of the Bravo Coy are now stationed in Poblacion Malibcong and in Sitio Aguibo, along the Abra-Kalinga road. The NPA guerrillas torched the said military camp after the people of Mataragan protested against the incessant violations of the Bravo Company, 41st IB.
Another attack was launched by the Procopio Tauro Front against troops of the Alpha Company, 41st IB at 9:15pm on February 16, 2014. The NPA unit monitored the movements of the AFP soldiers and launched a hasty ambush. Two (2) soldiers were killed, while five (5) others were wounded. The first volley of fire was unleashed by the NPA guerillas just two (2) meters away from the walking soldiers, instantly killing the 1st two (2) soldiers. The ambush was undertaken at sitio Lenneng, Baay-Licuan, Abra.
These attacks were launched by the NPA not only to foil the 2nd phase of Oplan Bayanihan in Abra, but also as punitive actions against the much-hated 41st Infantry Battalion that has gained notoriety among the masses of the Abra countrysides due to various acts of human rights violations, oppression and exploitation of women, disrespect and disregard of the indigenous peoples’ culture, and servility to large-scale mining interests, among others.
The US-Aquino Regime’s desperate efforts to fast track Oplan Bayanihan are being frustrated by the people and the revolutionary movement. Capt. Reggie Go, the 41st IB’s Public Information Officer, hallucinates when he refers to the NPA Red Fighters as “remnants”, fooling only himself and his masters that the revolutionary movement in Abra is already a spent force. Captain Go habitually announces that NPA presence “is reported by the people because of extortion.” But let the actions and words of the ordinary masses in areas incessantly plagued by the 41st IB’s presence speak the truth. |

41st IB Bravo Coy, expelled by the people of Mataragan
February 09, 2014 Danreb Bringgas
Spokesperson
NPA North Abra Front Operations Command
(Procopio Tauro Front--NPA-North Abra)Red salute to the victorious protest actions of the people in Mataragan, Malibcong, Abra against the Bravo Coy, 41st IB, AFP. The people expelled the military unit after finding the soldiers guilty of human rights violations, and disregard of laws pertaining to military encampment in civilian areas, particularly those of indigenous peoples. Complimentary to the peoples’ protests were attacks launched by the NPA , such as the September 29, 2014 sniping operations and the burning of the said detachment on the night of February 8, 2014.
The incessant presence of the detachment of the Bravo in Mataragan has long been a problem of the people. According to laws and conventions, military camps should be located more than 500 meters away from civilian areas, to secure the people from possible crossfire; however, the said detachment is just a stone’s throw away from houses. Moreover, the soldiers’ flagrant disregard of the rights of women are rampant, making local women subject of lust and oppression. Farm animals, poultry and fruits and vegetables are robbed by the soldiers, and people are forced to serve as guides during military operations. The women, fed up with exploitation and oppression from the soldiers of the Bravo Coy spearheaded protests, that were later supported by the entire community, including the Barangay Council.
The people consolidated the various cases against the Bravo Coy, such as violation of laws and conventions pertaining to military camps, against oppression and disrespect of women, public disturbance and harassment and intimidation against the people. The people’s indigenous court found the Bravo Coy guilty and imposed ang P100,000 fine against the soldiers. However, the military unit disregarded the people’s decision and instead left a measly P6,000, and sneaked out of the detachment on the night of February 8, 2014. Clearly, this incident unmasked the AFP, through the 41st IB, as a fascist military institution, fighting for the ruling classes and against the people. After sneaking out of their camp, an NPA team burned the deatchment left by the Bravo Company, to the delight and cheer of the people of Mataragan!
This exemplifies the strong bond between the people and the NPA, and the fact that people’s struggles are also fought by their true army, the NPA! This experience have shown that the people’s protests and the NPA’s tactical offensives can, and will defeat the exploitative and oppressive enemies of the people. The unity between the people and the NPA have shown that the revolutiuon can never be defeated.
We call on all the people to actively fight for the dismantling of all detachments and military camps of the fascist AFP, CAFGU and PNP. Let us expose and oppose all human rights violations of the AFP, CAFGU and PNP. Let us use and advance all forms of struggles, from filing of cases, collective and militant actions, metalegal actions and armed revolutionary struggle. Join the New People’s Army!
Frustrate and defeat Oplan Bayanihan!
Advance the People’s War!
Achieve the estrategic stalemate until final victory! |

NPA thwarts 39th Infantry Battalion operations in North Cotabato  By ISABEL FERMIZA
Spokesperson, NPA Mt. Apo Subregional Command
NPA Southern Mindanao Region
Successive tactical offensives launched by the Guerilla Front 51 Operations Command under the Mt. Apo Subregional Command-New People’s Army in Digos and Makilala towns this month were meant to stymie the abusive military operations of the notorious 39th Infantry Battalion, 10th Infantry Division of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
On 18 February at 3:30 am, NPA explosives killed scores of 39th Infantry Battalion soldiers at the military detachment in Jansig, Barangay (village) Old Bulatukan, Makilala. Earlier, on 10 February at 2:30pm, the NPA ambushed the Scout Rangers platoon of the 39th Infantry Battalion in Sitio (sub-village) Lutangan, Barangay Goma, Digos City.
Eight fascist troops were killed, while nine were wounded from the command detonated explosives and actual combat. The NPA confiscated one M-14 high powered rifle, several backpacks, and medical kits. One Red fighter, Ka Jiboy, was martyred and two other NPA guerillas were wounded.
The offensives were aimed at the 39th Infantry Battalion's forward deployment at Makilala and Tulunan towns in North Cotabato, expanding its former territorial jurisdiction which covered all towns of Davao del Sur. Arrogant and fascist to the core, the 39th Infantry Battalion swaggers as the 10th Infantry Division's biggest battalion, in a desperate move to widen its area of abuses.
On 9 February at 2:00 pm, combat troops of the 39th Infantry Battalion chanced upon Lumads who were hunting and detained them for two hours in the forest of Barangay Batasan, Makilala. Interrogated endlessly and threatened were Elorde Panggilan, Denis Panggilan, Dexter Panggilan, Ariel Panggilan, Randy Emban, Lodring Emban, Ryan Baclao, Jonel de Guzman, Wowie de Guzman, Henry Ando and Roel de Vera. The 12 civilians were only released when villagers and village officials negotiated and pleaded for their freedom from the clutches of the fascist 39th Infantry Battalion troops.
The incident was a prelude to more abusive activities by the 39th Infantry Battalion Special Operations Teams (SOTs) in Makilala, ranging from psychological warfare, forced surrender, and encampment in civilian structures in all of the town’s barangays. In one instance, soldiers, in a display of cowardice and desperation, took pictures of attendance sheets of a village meeting to identify leaders and members of peasant organizations.
It was reminiscent of the battalion’s bloody track record, which included the killing of Bador Dante of Barangay Kisante and Tata Dante of Barangay Malasila in Makilala town; Ignacio Ecoy in sitio Tabor, Barangay Goma, Bido Ecoy, Rody Panogan of sitio Guela, Barangay Goma, and Tata Panogan all in Digos City in 2005; Boy Navarez at sitio Alo, Barangay Darapuay, Ester Patiga at Sitio Balagonon, Barangay Managa, and Renato Jumawan of Barangay Managa, all in Bansalan town in 2006; and the Dejoses of Sta.Cruz town in 2011.
Indeed, the 10th Infantry Division's declaration that Davao del Sur is already NPA-free a few months back was not only an empty claim in the light of the expansion and aggressive military operations of 39th Infantry Battalion in both Davao del Sur and North Cotabato provinces. It also signaled that the AFP intends to spread its rule of human rights abuses from one province to another under its tactic of engaging one AFP battalion for every NPA guerilla command.
By superciliously overextending and directing its fangs against hapless peasants and Lumads, the 39th Infantry Battalion further exposes itself as an army of frantic cowards hiding cover under the brutal yet futile counter-revolutionary program of Oplan Bayanihan. The masses must intensify its militant struggle against this fresh wave of notoriety and fascism, while the NPA strengthens itself as a true army and defender of the people. |

2014: The year of building people’s government
in Southern Mindanao Region
Build broader and more solid people’s governments! This was the Party’s call in Southern Mindanao Region at the start of the new year, after initial victories in building people’s government in 2013. The CPP-SMR stressed that the main task is to “operate and strengthen the revolutionary government until revolutionary victory.”
The barrio revolutionary committees (BRC) and municipal revolutionary committees (MRC) that have been built attest to the level that the revolutionary movement in the region has attained. These achievements were the result of efforts to consolidate and empower their mass base. As an organ of the revolution, the BRC and MRC constantly aim to address the people’s fundamental and legitimate interests until they are able to completely break free from their shackles.
These committees also serve as training grounds for the people to become self-reliant. In these committees, the poor run the government themselves in accordance with the principles of democratic centralism.
Rules and policies
The ordinances passed and enforced by the BRC and MRC are based on the Revolutionary Local Government Code drafted by the region, which reflects the people’s interests and aspirations. They contain laws to preserve and defend ancestral lands, develop agricultural production, build cooperatives and continue the education already begun by the youth as well as ordinances on defense. To ensure that these are complied with, the BRC and MRC structure provides for the establishment of committees on organization, economy, education, health and defense and for building the people’s court.
For instance, the organization committee is responsible for continuing links with the mass organizations for the implementation of the BRC and MRC’s policies and tasks. From experience, all plans, programs and policies pertaining to production that had been agreed upon are energetically implemented due to the vibrant participation of the mass organizations. Also among the other social services provided are water, schools for the youth and health. Thus, the organization committee has become an instrument to ensure that the BRC and MRC serve as centers for social services.
In the economic field, mass campaigns for production take center stage. Communal farms are extensive and so are the fruits of mutual exchanges of labor which could address the entire community’s food needs, even during times of intense militarization. The BRCs prepare for long-term enemy military operations, including the possibility of food blockades. They make sure to strike a balance between food crop production and cash crop production to cover other expenses. Cooperatives are also being built.
Education is divided into political eduation (under the Padepa framework) and general education which includes literacy-numeracy for those who do not know how to read and write.
Confronting enemy attacks
As an organ of the revolution, the BRC leads in mobilizing the masses against militarization. Not a single military operation or human rights violation remains unexposed and unopposed by the masses. In a number of militarized areas, strong mass movements have confronted enemy military operations through organized evacuations as a form of protest.
Above all, the BRCs have played a major role in the series of victorious tactical offensives launched in the region. The militia can be relied upon for intelligence gathering and providing information on the enemy. They are also able to conduct harassment operations against the enemy and can be mobilized to join the people’s army’s tactical offensives.
Justice system
The people’s court is at the heart of the justice system in the BRC and MRC. It is composed of representatives of the Party, people’s army and BRC. It is the court that hears cases that could not be resolved through simple arbitration, handling crimes like murder, robbery and rape. Contradictions among the people are addressed in a democratic manner, through consensus and just agreements between parties in conflict.
Concrete practice has proven that the people’s own strength is able to emerge through local organs of political power. BRCs and MRCs are expected to be built on a wider scale in the region and become further consolidated this year.

Building the MRC in Malig-on town
The Committee in Subregion 4 actively responded to the call issued by the Party Committee in Southern Mindanao Region (CPP-SMR-RC) last year to build local organs of political power. Barrio revolutionary committees (BRC) were formed in two barangay clusters and soon after, the Municipal Revolutionary Committee (MRC) was formed in Malig-on town in December 2013. The campaign was joined by cadres and mass activists from the locality, the subregional Peasant Bureau, the Party School, the front committee and the subregion’s guerrilla unit.
Ripe conditions
Conditions have long been ripe for building the BRC. The local Party branch had been established. Full-fledged mass organizations of the peasantry, women and youth had been formed in adjacent villages whose fortitude had been proven in confronting enemy military campaigns. The militia and self-defense units are in place. The villagers have a wealth of experience in launching mass movements. Political education in the form of basic mass courses is vibrant and units of the people’s army continually operate in the area.
From this, the subregion drafted a comprehensive plan that included rapid compliance with the requisites and ironing out kinks in the process as well as boosting the activities of every revolutionary organization. The comrades focused on a cluster of barrios in order to achieve a breakthrough in the run-up towards the establishment of the MRC.
In June 2013, the production platoon was formed, which led the masses’ production campaign and helped build a school for Lumad children. The platoon mobilized 130 peasants and Lumad to build a demonstration farm. Next to be built were the PKM, MAKIBAKA, people’s militia and Kabataang Makabayan (KM) communal farms in another village. Mutual exchange of labor in individual farms became brisk and backyard vegetable patches widespread.
Meanwhile, led by the Party School (or the Instructor’s Bureau in the subregion), the Basic Party Course was launched twice for Party members in the village and some Red fighters as well. Up to 72 attended, with most coming from the locality. The Party branch conference was later launched, where the subsection committee in the village cluster was formed.
To further invigorate political education among the masses, advanced KM cultural activists were mobilized to provide education under the Pambansang Demokratikong Paaralan (Padepa). Prior to this,a cultural training was launched and attended by activists and Red fighters. Part of the lessons were discussions on a primer on cooperatives building, revolutionary justice and the OPP orientation, all supervised by the Party School.
Along with the mass movements for production, education and health, the membership of the full-fledged mass organizations was expanded and their structures streamlined, especially the chapters, in order to further rev up mutual exchange of labor. At the same time, recruitment in the people’s militia and the barrio defense committee was stepped up. By November, organizing had been raised to the level of building PKM, MAKIBAKA and KM municipal chapters.
In three months, seven BRCs were established in quick succession in this particular village cluster. In an assessment conducted on the status of the OPP machinery in November, the comrades saw that the MRC in Malig-on could be established by December. The only thing that had to be accomplished before then was forming the People’s Militia Municipal Command (PMMC).
Conference to build the MRC
The MRC was formally established through a conference attended by delegates from the local Party branch, full-fledged municipal mass organizations and the BRC and the PMMC in seven villages. Led by the sub-section committee, preparatory meetings were first held by the mass organizations and local Party branch to determine who among them would comprise their representatives. One-third of the MRC council members would come from the Party and one-third from the mass organizations. The other third would come from the middle forces. To ensure that the women’s and youth sector are adequately represented, they were guaranteed one seat each.
The conference opened with a discussion on the national and local socio-economic situation, the revolutionary situation and the tasks at hand. Next, the delegates discussed the OPP orientation and the Revolutionary Local Government Code.
From the newly established council, the conference elected five vice chairpersons who will head the committees on organization, education, economy, health and defense. They and the chair will comprise the Executive Committee (EC). The EC was given the responsibility of assigning the various committee heads. The election was done by secret balloting and handled by comrades from the people’s army.
The program was drafted through workshops in order to encourage democratic discussion. Ideas emerged from the various groups on how to further develop production and on where new schools should be built and the like.
Discussions were particularly animated on traditions that tend to block the people’s further unity and advance. It was pointed out that for the BRC and MRC, it is not the preservation of culture but its revolutionization that is the correct method of dealing with traditions, among them pangayaw (tribal war), relations between the sexes as well as feudal practices like polygamy and arranged marriages. Ordinances were likewise passed against the use of poison while fishing in streams and rivers, and against gambling, among others. Before the plenary meeting, the workshop results were consolidated and the conference approved the newly drafted program.
A number of cultural presentations lightened up the hectic day long schedule. The conference ended with speeches from the newly elected members of the MRC council’s executive committee.
