MILF counter-attack is fully justified--CPP
July 12, 2007

The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) today said the counter-attack launched by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) against the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) last Tuesday in Basilan "was fully justified in the face of the treacherous attacks by the AFP."

CPP spokesperson Gregorio "Ka Roger" Rosal commended the armed fighters of the MILF for "their active defense and militant posture against AFP incursions into their territory in violation of the standing ceasefire agreement between the MILF and the Philippine government."

At least 14 soldiers of the AFP were killed in clashes that erupted Tuesday in Tipo Tipo town in southern Basilan. According to Mohagher Iqbal, MILF negotiator, AFP troops attacked an MILF stronghold in the area, forcing their fighters to counter-attack. Iqbal reported that four MILF members were also killed in the firefight.

Rosal noted that this is but the latest of the AFP's treacherous attacks against the MILF showing the Arroyo regime's lack of interest in further pursuing peace negotiations. "The Arroyo regime and the AFP are using any and all possible pretexts to carry out attacks against MILF fighters and trespass into MILF territory."

"The CPP and New People's Army (NPA) commend the fighters of the MILF for firmly holding on to their weapons and using these to defend their rights and territory," said Rosal.

He added: "With or without peace talks, the effectivity of the MILF's defense and pursuit of the interests of the Moro people ultimately depend on how firmly they stand with respect to their revolutionary armed struggle for self-determination and social liberation."

grabe kau ka brutal ning mga Abu Sayaf patay na gi putlan pas li-ug, hasta ang tinaguan tawn sa marines naapil.

I never figured that the kidnapping of Fr. Bossi is but a ruse & a strategy to trap & lay ambush on the military pursuing the kidnappers. I pity Fr. Bossi because he is as good as dead with regard to this incident. But he will die as a martyr to his faith. May God bless his soul.

The savagery with which the assailants have done against the dead Marines through decapitations is a sign of their highest respect towards an enemy. I tell you, they dread & fear the Marines so much that one way of getting back at them is through sheer cruelty. It's an old-code warrior's ritual.

if that trops has the intention to attack the said camp of the MILFs, isn't it stupid for the army to pass the said route without caution, having in mind that they are on a mission to destroy an enemy?
bsan cguro sa vdeo game magbantay pa mn gani ta kng mo attack ta ex. playing Counter Strike.
ok, lets give them the benefit of the doubt those MILF that they just defending their turf, but to mutilate fallen enemy's cadaver after a gruesome fight, cutting off their heads, limbs, and even their *** organ, c'mon where are these people's senses and both parties are under peace talks.
they know those soldiers were on a mission to find a missing priest, Fr. Bossi yet still trigger-happy as they are or hungry for war, they initiated a blood-bath to fellow Filipino.
they definitly don't want peace but jst to keep fooling us by their lies, their ceasefire agreement everytime they are on a verge of losing.
they must be stop now, for it will always be a circle of false hope to the people living in Basilan and to us all.

Then it is better if we live in a gunless society, right? Without those guns falling in the wrong person or groups nobody get killed wholesale, right?

[godsaint]

Alibis lang ni sa mga MILF nga Abu sayaf.Kining Abu Sayaf og MILF isa ra ni sila ka color.sgaran ani nila mga igsoon lang og partidos.MILF are taking advantage of the peace talks so that they can cover up the Abu Sayaf.They Should all be excecuted at all cost..Put pigs blood on the bullets and wipe them all!!By the way they are not human..They are all pigs..!!

bombahan nalang na ang mindanao noh para wala na gubot...

i'm a pure cebuana and for so long mindanao is a headache. are you from mindanao? palag kah? maybe youre one of them?

What are you talking about?

Okay, bomb Mindanao, then the terrorists will move North into the Visayas, and maybe just even into Cebu (no, you won't be able to kill them all by bombing Mindanao). Then, people in Manila will say that the Visayas is a problem and call for it's bombing. That would be okay according to your reasoning, because they are "pure" Luzonians & don't care about anyone else in other parts of their own country, right? Personally, I think the government would prefer to fight them on the ground in the South and keep them where they are now.

The percentage of terrorists in Mindanao is speck of dust in comparison the number of innocent, hard working, family oriented people there. To assume everyone from Mindanao of being a terrorist shows real smarts. I think you should thank God that you are safe and pray for those who are not.

Mindanao terrorism bro's is already a disease that should be wiped out through an antibiotic. Ground forces? for how long? As I remember panahon pa na sa akong mga lolo ug sa ilang mga lolo pa na ang mindanao. Moving here in Visayas, ang mga muslim/mindanaonons nga mibalhin dire sa visayas nangabut an pag-abot dire because of the influence that visayan people are peace loving and leaders can control their ranks. Mindanao people cant control their ranks kay kung nacontrol pa na nila then peace should have rein there. Mao bitaw ang mga tao sa Mindanao came here in Cebu to improve their lives.
