NPA to preserve manpower, launch offensives after Duterte term – former rebel

Joy James Saguino alias Ka Amihan

DAVAO DE ORO, January 12, 2022 (PIA) - - A former cadre of the New People’s Army (NPA) revealed during a press conference that the communist armed wing will just have to survive the ongoing series of military focused operations until the end of the term of President Rodrigo Duterte, wherein they plan to launch mass offensives.

“There is a revelation that the NPA will launch several offensives after June 2022 once PRRD steps down from presidency dahil gusto nilang ipahiya ang (because they want to humiliate the) Duterte Administration that it fails to defeat the CPP-NPA,” bared Joy James Saguino alias Ka Amihan, former secretary of the Sub Regional Command 1 (SRC 1) of the Southern Mindanao Regional Command (SMRC).

Saguino said that the revelations come from the documents they gathered in Davao, Tacloban, and Cagayan de Oro, wherein he attended conventions with former rebels.

Even after the death of top NPA leader in Mindanao Menandro Villanueva alias Bok, Saguino doubted that the SMRC will launch tactical offensive calling it ‘unscientific.’ He also disclosed that there is a call to ‘hold the line,’ to preserve manpower and survive the military operations.

“Highly demoralized jud karon ang SMRC kaya very vulnerable for errors and mistakes (to launch offensives) kay emotional sila,” he said. (The SMRC is highly demoralized now, that is why launching offensives would be very vulnerable for errors and mistakes because of their emotions.)

Saguino said that adding to the low morale in the movement are the killings, capture, and surrender of top leaders of the NPA like Jorge Madlos alias Oris, Danny Juit alias Bosyong, and Anna Sandra Reyes alias Kaye.

“Pero (But) there are regions that even before June, they plan to engage militarily on some soft targets pero hindi sa Mindanao (but not in Mindanao),” he stressed.

Saguino added that these plan depends on the capacity of the NPA in the region.

Meanwhile, Noel Legaspi alias Ka Efren, former deputy secretary of the NPA’s Far South Mindanao Region, expected that same with the death of Madlos, there will be a mass surrender after Villanueva’s death.

Villanueva, the head of the National Operations Command of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), and the Secretary of the Komisyon Mindanao (KomMid), died in an encounter with the 1001^st Infantry Brigade troops on January 5, 2022 in Mabini, Davao de Oro. (PIA11, Michael Uy)
