DND Statement on CPP-NPA’s deployment of “Partisan Units”

It is so easy for Mr. Sison to order from his safe and comfortable haven in the Netherlands the return of his city armed terrorists he calls “partisan units”.

By “partisan units” Mr. Sison is actually referring to his “terrorist NPA assassins” targeting government officials and unarmed non-combatant civilians.

What Mr. Sison meant by Special Partisan Operation is simply murder by assassination. Also, a euphemism for Extrajudicial Killing.

But like the NPA sparus of old, these terrorists face certain death and their blood will be in the hands of Mr. Sison.

We dare Mr. Sison to bring on his terror threats. Unlike in the 80s, the AFP is more prepared to defeat his terrorist liquidation squads. The Filipino people will be on our side in this fight.

Mr. Sison, you are either hallucinating about your revolution succeeding or you are merely whistling in the dark while living an abundant and luxurious life abroad. The cadres you have fooled to join the NPA to be extortionists, arsonists, rapists, and murderers have met their tragic deaths fighting government.

Having realized that you and your minions were exploiting them, NPA leaders were surrendering in droves— taking advantage of government incentives.

The AFP and the PNP continue to neutralize your top cadres and dismantle your so-called “Guerrila Fronts”.

No amount of “partisan units” can help your discredited and despised “revolution”.

Your pronouncement and action is a confirmation of the ATC’s designation of the CPP-NPA as a terrorist organization.

The end of your destructive 52 years of misadventure that caused untold misery to our people is near, and it is inevitable and irreversible.

It is time for you to face reality. – Defense Secretary Delfin N. Lorenzana
