The government of the Republic of the Philippines through the National Task Force To End Local Communist Armed Conflict and in behalf of the over 75 million Filipinos in it, expresses its profoundest gratitude to Meta for its recent takedown of over 400 CPP NPA NDF pages on Facebook.
The effects of this takedown are far-reaching and will help slow down the free fall of our children into the deceptive recruitment of the CPP NPA NDF that have offered them as living sacrifice in the altar of the terrorist, Joma Sison, to wage a senseless war that’s been going on for the past 53 years now and where the cost in terms of Filipino lives and the progress of our country can no longer be measured.
This linking of arms of Facebook with the NTF ELCAC underscores the Truth that terrorism is a crime that does not respect borders and that in the battle to end the grief and destruction wrought by terrorists, the community of nations must stand shoulder-to-shoulder in battling this scourge to humanity.
The terrorist CPP NPA NDF is a well-organized crime syndicate that is the biggest in the country and one of the biggest in the world and we have sat with government officials from various countries to bring to them the horrific news of the CPP NPA NDF reaching their shores.
In Northern America, under the CPP-created International League of Peoples’ Struggle, Bayan USA together with other CPP NPA NDF fronts like GABRIELA, Anakbayan, MIGRANTE, League of Filipino Students have infiltrated campuses, unwitting civic organizations etc.
This is duplicated in Europe.
The CPP NPA NDF has used Facebook to foment violence and hatred and with brazen impunity, time and again, called for the overthrow of a legitimate government and the ouster of a constitutionally elected President who was given a strong mandate by the Filipino people.
They use Facebook to implement their despicable and venomous AOM method (AROUSE, ORGANIZE, MOBILIZE) to sow division among the Filipino people and to teach the Filipino people to hate and mistrust a government sincere and effective in its efforts to care for its citizens–more so during a time of pandemic.
Of notable worth is the revelation of Facebook Threat Disruption Director David Agranovich that the CPP NPA NDF launch attacks on legitimate websites and pages on Facebook and then offer protection from the very same attacks they carry out.
Sa Tagalog pa, RAKET maliwanag. A CPP NPA NDF modus we are all familiar with.
Therefore there is no doubt that the takedown of those poisonous pages has moved us forward in our fight to end and destroy the terrorist CPP NPA NDF.
And it has made cyberspace a much safer, more respectful and smarter place to be in.
The only ones who will raise a cry of protest against this will be the fronts of the CPP NPA NDF– like KARAPATAN did just recently, not surprisingly and as expected of urban operatives of this terrorist organization.
We are confident that the collaborative work we’ve started with our global partners who are like us, ceaseless in building a global community more in keeping with who it is we truly are as a race, will bring about the defeat of terrorists like the CPP NPA NDF.
Indeed, it takes a village to shelter and protect and raise a child. And this whole-of-nation approach is evolving into what it ought to be: a whole-of-nations approach.
We are truly grateful that Facebook has stepped up and dealt a mighty blow to these communist terrorists.
Magtulungan tayo para sa ating mahal na Bayang Pilipinas.
