ON THE ARREST OF YOUTH LEADER MYLES ALBASIN AND HER 5 COMPANIONS IN NEGROS ORIENTAL
Earlier this morning, six (6) alleged members of the New People’s Army were captured by the 62nd Infantry Batallion in Mabinay, Negros Oriental. Among the arrested is Myles Albasin, former chairperson of Anakbayan UP Cebu. She was a student leader who was awakened and has been exposed on the worsening educational crisis involving the Filipino youth. She was also active in advancing the plight and struggle of the farmers, fisherfolks, and indigenous people, especially the Lumads, through her immersions and integrations with them.
The arrest of Albasin is alarming since the reactionary military forces have a track record of violent and inhumane treatments of their captives especially women. On 2014, Recca Monte, a UP Diliman student, was captured and was later found dead with injuries on the head, face, and chest. Josephine Lapira and Kamil Manangan, both women activist, were brutally murdered and were barely recognizable after an alleged encounter with the Armed Forces of the Philippines last November 2017. Last month, macho-fascist Rodrigo Duterte also released a misogynist remark of encouraging the military to shoot women rebels in their vagina. Now, the military has a move not to disclose the name of Albasin on media reports for "security reasons." We fear for her and her companions’ safety as the military might closely have suspicious intentions behind this.
We no longer blame the decision of thousands of Filipino youth to take the road of revolution. The worsening situation in a semi-feudal and semi-colonial Philippine society, intensified by the anti-poor and anti-people programs and policies of the US-Duterte regime, push the Filipino youth to take a decisive stand and action to be at the forefront in changing this system. The Tax Reform on Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) Law of President Duterte will worsen the poverty experienced by the poor and will only benefit the few big businessmen and foreign investors. His administration also maneuvers to railroad the constitutional reform which will further legitimize the expansion of foreign nations on their control over our resources and will sooner lead to dictatorship of Duterte.
If strongman Duterte is sincere and honest in achieving a just and lasting peace, his administration should face the unrelenting calls of the oppressed Filipino people and genuinely tackle the roots of the armed conflict.
Resume peace talks!
Oppose the macho-fascist US-Duterte regime!
Struggle for a just and lasting peace!
Oppose the macho-fascist US-Duterte regime!

Sibley Macli-ing: no more peace talks! naririnig ko na yang peace talks na yan nung bata pa ako hanggang ngayong 54 anyos na ako pero walang magandang kinahantungan nito dahil sa katrayduran sa panig ng mga rebelde....Corrupting the minds of the youth and misleading them to their rotten agendas. They use them as pawns for their self serving interest. They never care for the lives and future of the youth....

Fully Armed. Akala ko ba matalino at matapang mga 'to? Akala ko ba willing sila magpakamatay para sa ipinaglalaban nila? Me dala kayong baril, hindi nyo kaya ipaputok at manlaban?
