“Clearly, the Aquino regime’s Oplan Bayanihan is bound to fail,” said the CPP. “Not only has the AFP failed to reduce the NPA strength to insignificant levels, it has succeeded only in rousing the oppressed people further to engage in armed and unarmed resistance by subjecting them to brutal and repressive military campaigns deceptively characterized by the AFP as ‘peace and development’ operations.”
“Sa pagkitil sa negosasyong pangkapayapaan sa NDFP at ng kawalan ng tahasang komitment sa mga kasunduan, mistulang minamanduhan ng rehimeng Aquino ang AFP na huwag magpasaklaw sa CARHRIHL at ipatupad nang todo-todong brutalidad at walang pangingimi ang gerang mapanupil nito,” pagdidiin ng PKP.
