Negros Oriental's police deputy defects to rebel group

THE second top ranking official of the Philippine National Police's (PNP) Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) in Negros Oriental formally defected to the New People's Army (NPA), the armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines-National Democratic Front (CPP-NDF).

Senior Police Officer 2 Joel Escobido Geollegue, 49-years-old, deputy provincial officer of the 701st PNP's CIDG in the province said joining the armed underground movement was "the most difficult decision" in his entire life.

Geollegue served the government for 28 years.

In a clandestine meeting with a group of reporters in a town north of Dumaguete City, he said he had decided to defect to the CPP-NPA two months ago, but made it formal last June 5.

Victim of injustice

"I am a victim of injustice, I was framed up for a crime I did not commit, and there is no foreseeable justice for my case within the system," said the defector.

Geollegue was implicated by his own colleagues in the police service to the reported robbery-holdup of a certain Terry Lim by an unknown group in 1993 at Crossing Relis, Barangay Carabalan, Himamaylan town, 85 kms south of Bacolod City.

He denied the accusation saying he was in San Carlos City investigating a car theft involving the Hannel Development Corporation at the time.

A sole witness, Romeo Villar, an alleged notorious criminal implicated him in the robbery-holdup.

Geollegue said another policeman and a former police chief of Himamaylan were backed Villar's testimony because he was their man handling a ring of illegal drug operations in the area.

Complainant Terry Lim, Geollegue added, is also a close relative of one of the two police officers.

"The whole circumstances were vague. All I learned later was they allegedly withdrew P30,000 from Philippine National Bank-Kabankalan, although they later made it appear that it was P300,000," he added.

The estranged CIDG deputy said he earned the ire of the two police officers for exposing them to the national headquarters over their alleged illegal drug protection activities.

Jail sentence

The case dragged on for almost 10 years in the Regional Trial Court (RTC) of Himamaylan under then Judge Jose Aguirre Jr. He appealed the case with the Court of Appeals (CA) in 2003 but it was denied.

Last March, the Supreme Court (SC) affirmed the CA's decision and sentenced him to six years in jail.

"I have lost my trust in the government's justice system. I have also doubted the integrity and sincerity of my colleagues, officials and the higher command in the service," Geollegue said when asked why he did not appeal his case.

He said he has reported to higher headquarters cases of corruption, protection racket, syndicates among his colleagues, and those he had close association with, but "none was ever heeded."

"So how can I entrust my life, much more my quest for justice, in the hands of the institution run by crooks and syndicate?" the CIDG officer said.

Asked how he reconciled his formerly staunch anti-communist stand with his decision, Geollegue said, "Things change. Just like former Brigadier General Raymundo Jarque, whom I consider my inspiration in making this decision."

Jarque, former commander of the Negros Island Command, defected to the NPA in 1995 to evade arrest for alleged trumped-up charges filed by a wealthy family of Pulupandan town and later became a military consultant to the National Democratic Front (NDF).

His case with the graft court was later dismissed for lack of merit.

"Joining the CPP-NPA," Geollegue told reporters, "is the most difficult decision I've made in my entire life, because it means leaving my wife and my three little kids behind, and risking my life. But I have no other option but to seek justice with the revolutionary movement."

He said he did not regret joining the revolutionary movement adding, "I believe it has a 'higher and correct sense of justice' than the 'corrupt and rotten' government I served for 28 years."

Geollegue said some top PNP and military officers in the region coddle illegal drugs and other syndicates. He said he will expose their names, network and mode of operations in due time.

The defector was born on June 6, 1956 to a poor peasant family in Himamaylan. He quit high school due to poverty and left for Manila to venture for work.

While on the boat, he befriended a military trainee who encouraged him to join the military service.

After a stint with the Philippine military in the late 1970s, he joined the Philippine Constabulary in the 1980s where he was assigned to different parts of Visayas and Mindanao including the Davao Metrodiscom Security Unit.

In the 1990s he was assigned with the Integrated National Police's (formerly PC) Regional Security Unit 7. He was later assigned to the Negros Occidental CIDG and eventually to Negros Oriental just before he defected.

Ka Cesar, head of the NPA custodial force and present at the briefing, said, "The defection of Geollegue only proved the correctness of the revolutionary cause of the CPP-NPA-NDF, the bankruptcy of the ruling system, and the rapid isolation of the US-Macapagal Arroyo regime".

Ka Cesar said, "Geollegue is a victim of injustice of the reactionary court run by corrupt justices and syndicates, strongly influenced by influential and despotic landlords and corrupt police and military officers."

Like most Filipinos exploited by the "rotten ruling system," Ka Cesar said, "Geollegue has realized the need to fight the system that breeds corruption, plunder of people's resources, protection racket for big drug syndicates, land-grabbing...and the like,"

"His defection is an honorable decision," Ka Cesar added.

I understand the action of this police. Its natural if you are a victim of government injustice. And I dont blame him.. If this government continues to ignore the cries of its people more military men might defect.

[cerebus]

i understand the action of this police(man). it's natural if you find yourself facing a six-year jail time. and i don't blame him. . . if the court find more soldiers or cops guilty and must face jail time, more military men (and policemen) might defect. . . and spec-v nailed the reason for that 'defection.'

Defector predicts coup d' etat
By Edmund Sestoso

EX-SENIOR Police Officer 2 Joel Geollegue, the second man of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) in Negros Oriental who defected to the New People's Army last June 5 predicted a coup d'etat that would oust President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

Geollegue said Arroyo must be ousted saying people 'very close' to Malacañang and inside the Palace were involved in big time illegal gambling and smuggling operations, including large-scale sugar smuggling in Negros Island.

The former intelligence man who now carries the nom de guerre Ka Reymar said the possibility of a coup was 90 percent and that it would be launched a group of disgruntled military men composed of mid-level officers, non commissioned officers, and enlisted personnel.

He said the plotters would include "many former players" of past coup attempts.

Geollegue said: "I invite them to join me in defecting to the rebels because this is our cause, the cause of the people."

The former CIDG officer was speaking to a group of reporters in a secluded place in the town of Sibulan near Dumaguete City.

He said he brought with him four high-powered firearms, including an Ingram machine pistol when he joined the armed underground, although he did not say whether these were government-issued.

Geollegue admitted he was worried about the effects of a smear campaign against him on his family.

But, he said he was confident they would weather the storm "because I believe I have made them understand the justness of my cause."

His wife, Ivy, who was with him during the interview, shared the same opinion.

"We are ready to answer all their questions and anything they throw against him," she said.

The couple has two children Krishna, 18, a college student, and Karl Jovy, seven months old.

Geollegue said his superiors had tried to persuade him to change his mind (to defect), but that they did not stop him saying they respected his decision.

On the NPA raid in Tubo, Abra

Another victory has been achieved by the revolutionary mass movement through a tactical offensive in Tiempo, Tubo, Abra launched by the Agustin Begnalen Command (New People's Army-Abra).

On June 4, 2005, the NPA raided the 41st IB, CAA Patrol Base resulting in six wounded in action (2 Msgts., 1 Sgt., 1 Corporal and 2 CAFGU) and the confiscation of 31 rifles. This is the response of the people and the NPA in the Cordillera to the intensifying militarization connected with the successive incursions of several foreign mining companies in the Cordillera. Ever since the Mining Act of 1995 was declared constitutional, the US-Arroyo regime has been aggressively enticing mining applications and speeding up their approval through its Mining Action Plan. The regime is baring the Cordillera for imperialist mining corporations to rape, by eliminating all protections to the rights of national minorities to their ancestral lands and natural resources. Concomitant to this, the regime has militarized the Cordillera, especially in areas of people's resistance. The AFP and Cafgu are being used to pave the way for the free entry of destructive mines.

The government's violation of the right of the national minorities in the Cordillera to their ancestral lands is part of national oppression, a denial of the people's right to self-determination.

Of course, the military is again twisting facts by claiming that the NPA used civilians as shields during the raid resulting in the death of a councilwoman and the wounding of two other civilians. In fact, it was the 41st IB which is using civilians as human shields. AFP lies are in line with the standard operating procedure and policy of the GHQ and psywar department of the AFP in their press releases to demonize and destroy the reputation of the NPA freedom fighters. In reality, the AFP and Cafgu are the ones who are using civilians as shields. The fact that they set up their detachment within the barrio proves this. They ride in passenger jeeps endangering the lives of civilians, they forcibly use civilians as guides during their military operations.

The military further claims that they never fired a single shot during the raid. This is a totally unbelievable lie. The firefight lasted for three hours.

The NPA is ironbound by the policy of not using civilians as shields. It strictly upholds the provisions of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Recognition of Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law (CARHRIHL) signed by the government and the NDF in 1998. Our initial investigations show that the bullet that killed the councilwoman came from the direction of the AFP based on the bullet's trajectory and point of entry. If an impartial investigation by the Joint Monitoring Committee of the NDF and the government can prove that the NPA is culpable, the NPA will readily accept its responsibility and make amends.

The NPA wholeheartedly serves the masses. It is unthinkable for the NPA to harm the people whom it has vowed to serve. It defends the people against their enemies, including imperialist mines which grab ancestral lands and destroy the environment and livelihood of the people. The NPA fights for the people's rights and punishes the paid military forces of the government who are violating human rights.

An example of this is the victorious tactical offensive of the NPA in Balantoy, Balbalan, Kalinga last May 22, resulting in 3 KIA and 3 WIA on the side of the military, with no casualties on the side of the NPA. This was the NPA's response to the long-awaited demand of the people to exact justice for the savage attacks of the mercenary 21st IB on the people.

The revolutionary mass movement is not opposed to mining per se. It opposes destructive mining that profits only imperialists and comprador capitalists, leaving the people with nothing but denuded forests, eroded mountains, poisoned rivers, and a few coins for workers' wages. Clearly, the people will be at the losing end.

The victorious tactical offensives of the NPA indicate the advancing stage of the people's war. It demonstrates the people and the NPA's fearlessness, prowess, and readiness to fight the exploitative and oppressive ruling classes.

The CPDF thus salutes the Red commanders and fighters who scored more victories for the people's war, and acknowledges the help of the masses in ensuring the success of these battles. The US-Arroyo regime and its military forces can only expect more ruin and losses in their vain attempt to assault the national minorities of the and steal the people's land, life, and resources. #
