The Commission on
Elections (COMELEC) was bombarded by protest from anti-communists groups, members
from League of Parents of the Philippines (LPP), Hands-off Our Children,
and La Liga Independencia asking for the
cancelation of the registration of party-list groups that are identified with
the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People's Army-National Democratic
Front (CPP-NPA-NDF).
The three groups
staged a rally in the COMELEC headquarters in Intramuros, Manila to support the
petition filed by Angela Aguilar, a former CPP cadre and ACT member, before the
poll body April last year.
The said
petition urges the poll body to revoke the registration of party-list groups
Makabayang Koalisyon ng Mamamayan, Bayan Muna, Anakpawis, Kabataan, Alliance of
Concerned Teachers, Integrity, Equality, Leadership, and Action, General
Assembly Binding Women for Reforms.
It also
named former Bayan Muna party-list Rep. Neri Colmenares as an individual
respondent.
The
protesters believe that these party-list organizations are manipulating the
House of Representatives to accumulate funds to sustain the armed movement. They also
believe this will also help reduce if not halt the very active recruitment of
the communists among the nation’s youth.
“Our (parents)
call are not just hearsays, we have proofs. We have evidence that these members
of Makabayan bloc are just using their positions, and the government funds to
recruit our children to become members of the communist groups,” LPP chair Remy Rosadio said
She also
alleges the involvement of the Makabayan bloc to disappearances of the students
who were said to be recruited by the communists and brought to the mountains.
“One of our
members in LPP still grieve for her child currently cuddled by the Makabayan
bloc,” she added.
She adds
these organizations are mere fronts of the communists and they brainwash their
recruits by instilling hatred into the minds of the students against the
government, teaching them communist ideologies.
