National Security Adviser Gonzales
is a Patent Liar and Puerile Intriguer
By Fidel V. Agcaoili
Chairperson, Human Rights Committee
National Democratic Front of the Philippines
11 February 2006
Once more National Security Adviser Norberto Gonzales has exposed himself
as a patent liar and a puerile intriguer by accusing the New People's Army (NPA)
of planning to assassinate former President Joseph Estrada.
The malicious intent of Gonzales is to slander the NPA and entire revolutionary
movement, divide the broad united front against the despicable Arroyo regime
and prevent Estrada from effectively helping opposition candidates in the
forthcoming elections.
Ka Roger, the spokesperson of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP),
has already declared to the public that the accusation of Gonzales against the
NPA is the pure fabrication of a clerico-fascist and a puppy of US imperialism like
Gonzales
Estrada himself and his son JV Estrada have already expressed disbelief at the
false claims of Gonzales and have pointed to a malicious scheme of the Arroyo
regime to impose stifling conditions on the detained Joseph Estrada and undertake
other harmful actions against the opposition.
But Gonzales is a persistent liar and intriguer. He keeps on embroidering on his
malicious story. He now claims falsely that the chief political consultant of the
NDFP negotiating panel, Prof. Jose Maria Sison has "directly ordered" the NPA
to assassinate not only Estrada but also Gloria M. Arroyo, Norberto Gonzales
himself, Raul Gonzalez and retired Major General Jovito Palparan.
It is not within the power of Prof. Sison to decide and order who should be
listed in the standing order for the NPA to arrest or give battle to criminally liable
persons like Gloria M. Arroyo, Norberto Gonzales, Raul Gonzales and the butcher
Palparan who are armed and dangerous and/or surrounded by armed personnel.
These criminally liable persons in authority themselves have been pressing on the
NPA and other revolutionary forces to take action against them because they
have been responsible for the extrajudicial killing and abduction of so many
unarmed people under Oplan Bantay Laya I and II and yet they have maliciously
accused the NPA of being responsible for such crimes of the regime and its
armed minions in the military and police.
So far, the revolutionary forces have not yet launched any full-blast and full- scale
campaign to arrest, try and punish the human rights violators at the highest level
of the Arroyo regime, despite the clamor of the people for justice. They are
letting the victims, the survivors, the human rights organizations and the broad
masses of the people expose the criminal culpability of the regime and its military
and police minions.
It takes time for the revolutionary forces to build up the intelligence and capability
to undertake just actions against the human rights violators who are well-armed
and well-protected at the highest level. But the broad masses of the people
anticipate that in the forthcoming reactionary elections the regime will use fraud
and terror and incite the revolutionary forces to undertake just actions against
the worst human rights violators at the highest level.
We, who are members and consultants of the NDFP Negotiating Panel, can only
observe developments in the Philippines from a distance and hope for the
resumption of the peace negotiations upon a change of leadership or policy
in the reactionary Manila government. At the same time, it is within the authority
and competence of the leading organs of the CPP, NPA and the NDFP in the
Philippines to undertake the just and necessary decisions and actions against the
worst human rights violators in the country. ###
