27-year old Raymond “Mong� Palatino describes himself in his blog as “addicted to activism, aspiring educator and son of migrant workers.�

He is considered as one of the most brilliant youth leaders in country. He was chair of the university student council of University of the Philippines (UP) in Diliman in 2000 and president of the National Union of Students of the Philippines (NUSP), the largest alliance of tertiary student councils in the country, from 2001 to 2003.

His leadership qualities and valuable contribution to youth empowerment did not go unnoticed.

Mong also writes for several online publications and maintains his own blog. He is a web columnist for tinig.com, news editor of yehey.com (on leave). He is also a contributing editor for Global Voices Online and a regular resource speaker of both Houses of Congress on youth and education issues.

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE
By Marit Stinus-Remonde

Angel to the CPA-NPA


Wikipedia.org describes this young woman as “the most popular young actress.� Thousands of other websites list her as one of the sexiest and most beautiful Filipina actress; to others she is the No. 1. I am, of course, referring to Angel Locsin, young, beautiful and fast-rising star in the Philippine show biz. Recently, Locsin stepped into the political world by endorsing party-list party Kabataan in a much viewed video. Such celebrity endorsement surely makes one curious to know what Kabataan is all about. What is the product that Locsin is endorsing for free?

Kabataan is the political party of the organization Anakbayan and the sister party of Gabriela, Bayan Muna and Anakpawis. These parties are known to be front parties of the CPP-NPA. Three years ago, Anakbayan also joined the party-list elections but this time it is participating under the name Kabataan. When you hear the name Anakbayan and you are from Cebu, you think of July 2, 2000, when Anakbayan-Cebu chairman Marvin Marquez was killed in an encounter in Trinidad, Bohol, together with seven other young men and women. Marvin with his 25 years was just a few years older than Locsin today. Silvino “Ka Bino� Clamucha, the regional spokesman for the NPA, told dyAB (ABS-CBN) that only about 20 of the men in the rebel camp were armed, while about 30—including Marvin and the other fatalities—were unarmed. “We do not know how he got to the alleged rebel camp, but it was part of his exposure trip, being a youth organizer here in Cebu, to also organize the farmer-youths,� Jaime Paglinawan, then of Bayan, later of Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP), told the media.

On July 6, 2000, Sun Star Cebu reported that “Silvino Clamucha, NPA Central Visayas spokesman, told dyAB that Marquez officially joined the NPA by the last week of June.� In another interview, Clamucha “confirmed that occasionally, student activists in Cebu visit rebel camps in Bohol for exposure trips.� Marvin’s parents only knew that their son “was an active student leader and an official of Anakbayan-Cebu.� Among the fatalities were also a staff of FARDEC, the NGO affiliated with KMP, a 12-year-old boy who was visiting his NPA-rebel brother, a 20-year old-daughter of a former KMP leader and a 22-year-old man whose father thought he was working in Manila.

Task Force Against MilitariÂ*zation, a coalition comprising Gabriela, Bayan and a number of their sister organizations, conducted a fact-finding mission. Gabriela reported that the military had “finished offâ€� at least two of the female fatalities, quoting the findings of the local health officer and mortician that the women had been shot at close range. Farmers had also told Gabriela about military harassment. However, the following day, the health officer issued a statement that it wasn’t part of her job “to determine the distance from which gunshot wounds were inflicted.â€� Nobody from Gabriela interviewed her about the gunshot wounds. Farmers also denied that they were being harassed by the military. The Commission on Human Rights-Eastern Visayas conducted an investigation and found all the allegations of the Task Force Against MilitaÂ*rization baseless.

The then-vice-president of Anakbayan-Visayas had “warned that the death of the student leader might only encourage the youth to join the armed struggle,â€� and that “all Anakbayan members were ‘agitated’ upon learning of MarÂ*quez’s deathâ€� (Sun Star July 6 2000). But Marvin, the 25-year-old chairman of Anakbayan-Cebu, was already part of the NPA, reassigned by the movement from a legal front to the NPA, and he was killed in the rebel camp during an encounter between his army and the AFP. The CHR7 found that the encounter was a legitimate military operation with a military target even if not all the NPA rebels were armed combatants. The encounter lasted for almost eight hours, one soldier was killed and two seriously wounded.

Anakbayan never acknowledged the truth about Marvin. So while Marvin’s death happened seven years ago, Anakbayan remains the same as then. Kabataan is just a well-chosen new name for an organization whose agenda is reflected in what happened in Bohol in 2000, and the massive effort to deceive the public. This is the party being endorsed by Ms. Locsin and other young, probably idealistic and well-meaning, celebrities.

Marit Stinus-Remonde is the spouse of Cerge Remonde, one of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo's henchmen in her cabinet.

She was also the author of a previous column alleging the assignment of UP Cebu College Political Science students as interns to NGOs supposedly fronting for communist groups.

She also accused the oldest and largest political party in UPCC as an ally of the NDFP.

So once and for all, the truth: the writer is green-eyed with unmistakable envy, seeing Angel Locsin's youth, beauty, and popularity in showbiz!

Anakbayan also joined the party-list elections but this time it is participating under the name Kabataan.

anak ng bayan manto dile manto anakbayan.. dumbass...
