The AFP shrewdly hides behind the monicker of "peace and order" to intensify militarization and its suppression of the people. Oplan Bayanihan works hand in glove with the DSWD's cash doleout program in order to cover up the reactionary government's assault on the people's welfare and draw them away from the path of militant struggle.
Para maitago ang marahas at mapanupil na katangian ng kanilang mga operasyon, ginagamit na pantabing ng AFP ang mga "medical mission" at iba pang "gawing sibiko." Tusong ginagamit ng AFP ang karatula ng "kapayapaan at kaunlaran" para paigtingin ang militarisasyon at ang pagsupil sa mamamayan. Mahigpit na katuwang ng Oplan Bayanihan ang programang palimos ng DSWD.
