Philippines- Stop the aerial bombing of Batangas!

The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) condemns the regime of Duterte and its Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) for throwing bombs on villages in the vicinity of Mount Banoy, that is to the outskirts of Batangas City and only a few hours from Metro Manila .

The indiscriminate aerial bombing and ruthless AFP offensive operations against the New People's Army (NPA) in the area have forced hundreds of families from several neighborhoods to evacuate the area and seek security because of the fascist rage of the AFP. The peasant masses in the vicinity of Mount Banoy are resisting mining and defending their land and the environment.

The Duterte regime has long been applying its doctrine of destruction by bombing the NPA, peasant masses, and popular minority communities throughout the country. They have applied the doctrine on a large scale during the four-month siege of the AFP over Marawi. As in Marawi, they have endangered the lives of the people and trampled their rights by forcing them to leave their homes.

The bombing in Batangas City is accompanied by the aerial bombing of September 20 against the village Lumad and peasant communities in Magpet, North Cotobato, which aimed at the Lumad School Pops Tentorio Memorial.
