Maoism

On “Abduction, illegal detention, and torture” of Melissa Roxas.

THE “ALLEGED abduction, illegal detention, and torture” of a certain Melissa Roxas, reportedly in May 19, 2009, has indeed startled the very core of human civilities.

Indeed, a run-around of events and developments, are strewn in almost all nooks of our country’s free and democratic life. Even the core of our democratic institutions is now being used to generate undue public criticism against the duly constituted, free, and democratic government of our country.

PHILIPPINES. It is quite common these days to read from the newspapers violence being perpetrated by the communist New People’s Army (CPP-NPA) that most Filipinos no longer care as long they are not the poor victims. People have become so passive that when rebels committed atrocities to civilians, none would make a fuss about it or chastise the perpetrators -- except for the families of the victims and the authorities. None would take the initiative to launch a crusade to seek justice. This is also what happened 20 years ago today.

In fact, all these divides have widened. And since November a strike wave has spread across the country.
