The Roselyn Pelle Command of the NPA North Negros strongly condemns the

Baldevia of Had Baldivia and Bernard Tribol of the Had RMP Realty
Corporation of Brgy Lopez Jaena in Sagay City against the
farmer-beneficiaries of Had Baldivia.

Based on the cases filed in the Revolutionary Court by the Pambansang
Katipunan ng Magbubukid (PKM)- Northern Negros , it was learned that
last Oct, 27, 2011, Sheriff Bernard Barella and Walter Viazon together
with a demolition team destroyed the seven houses of residents in Had
Baldivia despite the writ-order of the reactionary court to remove only
structures made thru forcible entry. After the said incident, the
unified forces of the mercenary RPA-ABB and armed goons continue to
terrorize and intimidate the poor farmers by firing their 45, 357, 38
cal handguns and shotguns, burning and destroying houses including the
crops planted by the peasants in the said hacienda.
Last December 9, 2011 at about 11PM, mercenary armed men burned the
peasant camp out, fired their weapons indiscriminately and forced the
poor peasants to leave their homes. Three families were forced to
destroy their houses for fear of being killed while the others continue
to assert their rights to the land. The armed men also harvested the
bananas and monggos of the farm workers and repeatedly accused them of
producing such crops for the NPA.
By the end of December 2011, instead of celebrating Christmas just like
the rest of the people, the poor peasants were saddened and terrified
because armed goons once again destroyed the rest of their crops using a
tractor. After this the peasants were no longer allowed to come near the
contested land. The situation worsened when members of the RPA-ABB and
armed goons burned seven houses, and wrecked five others using a tractor
and forced five families to vacate the contested land last December 24,
2011, 330PM, December 25, 10 AM and January 2012. While on the act of
terrorizing the poor peasants the armed goons were laughing.
This act of terror and atrocities committed by the RPA-ABB and armed
goons against the poor peasants of Had Baldivia and other haciendas is
unbearable. This is also the case in the haciendas in Minauyahan,
Calintaan, Pula ang Vincent and many others last year. This only show
that these thugs do not respect lives and human rights as declared by
the International Declaration of Human Rights and International
Humanitarian Law. Even third party groups and personalities advocating
human rights especially of civilians were nor spared. Last January 26-27
a Fact Finding Mission (FFM), numbering almost a hundred which went to
the troubled area was fired at by suspected members of the RPA-ABB and
armed goons.
Members of the RPA-ABB and armed goons that were identified as involved
in the said atrocities are alias Remar, Larry Chavez, alias Mingming,
Loreto Bandala, alias Rufo, alias Barok, alias Bongbong, Asmad
Florentino and their companions. Included as the brains of the RPA-ABB
in the said area is their commander Remar Agabon.
The poor peasants have been terrorized too much in the presence of the
mercenary RPA-ABB and armed goons hired and protected by prominent
landlords in northern Negros like Bebe Lumayno, Bernard Tribol, Tim
Ballesteros, Achilles Baldivia, the Javelosa-Sarosa-Maranon and their
likes. Sad to say that even the reactionary courts can do nothing in
prosecuting these armed thugs because of their crimes against the
people. The provincial government under Maranon , the municipal level
under Cuevas and at the barangay level are inutile or play blind and
deaf to these atrocities being perpetrated by armed mercenaries.
After finding probable cause based on the facts presented the
Revolutionary Court issues Warrants of Arrest to all those involved in
the burning and destruction of crops and properties, grave threats and
frustrated homicide against the people and civilians in the said
incident. The RPC orders all the units of the NPA in Northern Negros to
immediately initiate steps in arresting the suspects.
Likewise the RPC-NPA calls on concerned landowners to follow the policy
of the Revolutionary government in the treatment, observance and respect
of Human Rights and the Rights of their laborers in the haciendas that
they own or lease. The Revolutionary government of the people also
condemns the hiring and use of armed goons like the RPA-ABB, Blue Guards
and other bandit groups that sow terror and destruction on the people's
lives and properties. These acts are punishable in the revolutionary
government.
To all those who are involved in the above crimes , the RPC-NPA calls on
them to surrender to the nearest agency of the Revolutionary Court or to
unit of the NPA so that your case will be given due consideration on the
merit of voluntary surrender.
Onward with the National Democratic Revolution til the
Strategic Stalemate and Total Victory!
