President Rodrigo Duterte was really furious of the human
rights group Karapatan as he claimed it is the front of the communist movement.
The Chief Executive also slammed the group saying he knew
how the group operates since he used to deal with communist rebels when he was
mayor of Davao City.
“Huwag ninyo akong lokohin kay galing ako diyan. Let us not,
you know, I’ve been there. You know I’ve been there. “That Karapatan used to be
known as the Nationalist Alliance for Justice, Freedom and Democracy. I was the
chapter president there,” Duterte said in a speech in Davao City during the
land titles distribution to beneficiaries
“And Karapatan is a front, just like our barangay captains
are our legal fronts. Kayong mga Karapatan, mga samahan ng mga demonyo ng
Pilipinas, mga… You know what you did in Negros, it did — is not just
fighting,” he said.
Reportedly, the government tagged the New People’s Army as
suspects in the killing of Cpl. Relebert Beronio, and Patrolmen Raffy Callao,
Roel Cabellon, Marquino de Leon in Negros Oriental in July.
The president lamented that despite his effort to encourage
the rebels to surrender and provide with livelihood for the returnees, many
still continue spreading violence.
“Itong mga komunista, they are blaming the government for
the killings, when actually you started the spate of murders there. Ang
pinakamarami ng tama, the hardest hit, group of government men are soldiers,
policemen and people who are openly for the government and mga barangay
captain,” Duterte said
“I will not allow you to do that. I will give you tit for
tat. That’s my order to the military. Give them what they deserve. They are not
fighting a conventional war. They are not obeying the Geneva Convention,” he
added
