Misamis Occidental declares CPP-NPA-NDF as 'persona non grata'

Misamis Occidental is the third local government unit (LGU) under the Duterte administration that declares the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), the New People’s Army (NPA), and the National Democratic Front (NDF) as persona non grata, through a resolution passed by the Municipal Peace and Order Council, effective June 18, 2019.

Resolution No. 1 series of 2019 states that: “The peace-loving people of Calamba, Misamis Occidental still aspire to bring their municipality closer to the peace that they always dreamt of”;

“The people of Calamba, Misamis Occidental must take a stand against the presence of the Communist Terrorist Groups (CTG) in their respective localities in order to show their sincerity and support to the call of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte to once and for all end the communist insurgency in the country”;

“The people of Calamba, Misamis Occidental are already fed-up with the 50 years of lies and atrocities of these bandits against our people for their criminal acts and violations of the International Humanitarian Law”;

“The local chief executives (LCEs) and Municipal Vice-Mayor in Calamba, Misamis Occidental have stressed that their constituents want to live in a peaceful, prosperous and happy community”.

“This bold move is a great help in our effort to protect the communities from the atrocities of the communist terrorist group,” said Lieutenant Colonel John Andrada, 10th Infantry Battalion Commander.

“Likewise, this will ease our burden on neutralizing the CTGs because we expect more information from the constituents regarding their presence in the localities,” he added.

With the declaration of the peace loving people of Calamba, Misamis Occidental, the communists will now have a small chance of recruiting the populace especially the farmers, the youth, women, and the indigenous people to join their group.

Agusal del Sur and the municipality of Talaingod in Davao del Norte have already previously declared the CPP-NPA-NDF as persona non grata.
