ANAD condemns the death of 1-yr old child in Northern Samar

Contrary to their propaganda ploy, the Maoist communist New Peoples Army (NPA) are on a rampage and shedding any vistages of their cover and showing that indeed they are the so-called “wolves” who devour our people of their precious life and of being extortionists, in the highest level.

This the reaction of the ALLIANCE FOR NATIONALISM AND DEMOCRACY (ANAD) to the NPA’S latest terrorism against humanity and peace, even as it called on the pseudo partylist congressmen to continue playing deaf and dumb to the barbarism committed by their comrade in the Maoist Communist Party of the Philippines.

Rep. Jun Alcover of ANAD Partylist expressed with deep sorrow and strongly condemns the death of Shifra Ann Lira, 1 year old, a day after being brought to the Bethany Hospital in Tacloban City. Shifra, together with his 4 months pregnant mother, Adona, were injured when a grenade exploded in their house, a several meters away from a camp of the 20th Infantry Battalion, Philippine Army, that was attacked by the Maoist communist terrorist, in Brgy. Polangui, Catarman, Northern Samar at about 1:30 pm last May 30, 2009.

“We cannot say anything but feel deeply sad to Shifra’s death. What happened to her is a glaring example of the Maoist communist’s utter disregard of the sanctity and value of human life,” Alcover pointed out.

At the same time, Alcover describe the Maoist communist NPA as terrorist-extortionist par excellence as they continue with so much callousness and impunity the burning of properties owned by businesses, in the Bicol Region and other parts of the country. “We cannot give out a better picture and description of a bunch of devouring evils whose only concern is to amass more than enough funds to fuel their Maoist communist electoral aspirations in 2010,” said Alcover.

The ANAD Partylist Representative was referring to the series of property destruction by burning of heavy equipments and buildings of construction companies who refuse to heed the Maoist NPA’s demand for their so-called “revolutionary tax.”
“The latest victim is Megay Construction Company in the town of Presentacion, Camarines Sur, where several of their heavy equipments were burned after the owner refused to pay Php 6 million as demanded by the communist terrorists,” Alcover added.
“I call on all businesses, big and small, to institute counter-terrorism measures as the 2010 national elections draws near,” Alcover warned.

“At the same time, I call on the local government executives to be serious in their effort to protect and preserve the freedoms and democratic ideals of our country. Let us not waver amidst the threats being poised by these advocates of a Godless, inhuman, and evil ideology,” Alcover said.
