then why all the sarcasm sir? the topic is about rachel palang not teddy casino.

yes, i know. but what i'm pointing out here is rebuffing your argument that CEGP is not infiltrated, more so not influenced by the CPP-NPA. This topic is not only Rachelle Mae. This topic is all about the circumstances surrounding her death. And the highlight here is because she belongs to CEGP.

It's a given fact that Mr. Casino still has big influence over CEGP as a past president. It's a given fact that both he and Satur Ocampo are leaders of Bayan Muna. It's a given fact that circumstantial evidences are common knowledge linking those groups to CPP-NPA.

frank malilong is a supreme rightist on my point of view, read his previous write ups; in there you will find your answer.

well, im not pointing to his character as a writer. I'm pointing to what he said regarding Mae. There's a big difference there.

now tell me sir kinsa imo nailhan na na mga nurses mo buhat og medical mission on a far flung barangays and provinces then known siya infested siyag NPA? of course hearing the abbrevation NPA ma hadlok jud sila dayon, but with a strong conviction to serve the people, it really doesnt matter kung infested ang area og NPA.

let me recall one of my experiences katong nag BMI mi nad2 sa mingla, na.ay civilian na daghan kaayo og pangutana unsa amo gibuhat namo nad2, ngano nanudlo mi og art art and etc... blah blah, pero sarcastic akong tubag pirme, then as i've noticed daghan choi choi with the same tupi na nag tutok nako, ako gi observahan iyang kamot, then ako nakit-an ang iyang PMA ring. then mura napungot manto kay ako raman gi tubag tanan niya pangutan.a straight to the point diretso, ni kalit raman og sulti "activista ka bai, klaro kaayo bantay bantay lang"

unsa kahay pasabot ana sir? bantay bantay kay daghan og NPA sa lugar? or ila ko kidnappon kung dile ko mo hunong sa akong gibuhat? now tell me sir, kung ila ko gi kidnap diretso then gipatay gi hulgan dayon og armalite, ingon dayons media na na.ay estudyante na NPA dire sa mingla. unsay reaction ningyo? i was just teaching basic art classes to the poor kay kibaw ko daghan potential artists sa ka pubrihan. then ila dayon ko gi threat? is that the protectors of our nation should act?

when u r an activist going to those places infested w/ NPAs, the military (including civilians) will always doubt ur true intentions. Labi na nga murag wierd rasab kaau manudlo ug art art to a poor community that thinks it is the least of their priority. Coz IMHO, their priorities are NEEDS, not wants. But I know ur intentions are good.

yes, i also know that activists are not always equated w/ communism but more so on left-leaning ideals, their relationships w/ leftist partylist groups, and so on and forth. We can't also blame the military doubting especially if your group like LFS and CEGP is being branded as NPA infiltrated.

"Bantay-bantay lang kay daghan og NPA sa lugar" is not in any way a threat but an info and at the same time a warning that the place is infested w/ NPAs. that's true. even a common folk could say that to u. it could also mean that if ever naay mahitabo ninyo, u go at ur own risk. Coz the military can't always protect u at all times especially kung naay crossfires.

[b]CEGP tribute to Mae Mae
Mae-Mae was killed by elements of the Armed Forces of the Philippines on September 18, 2008 in an alleged encounter with New People's Army rebels. Her face was barely recognizable; she was shot at point-blank range. Her feet and legs were black and bruised, signs of torture evident elsewhere in her beaten body.

Mae-Mae's untimely demise reminds the Guild all too painfully of the same fate that another CEGP alumna suffered under the hands of the AFP.

In April 2002, Benjaline 'Beng' Hernandez, former CEGP Vice-President for Mindanao and a human rights volunteer, was murdered by the military while conducting a fact-finding mission in Cotabato province. Investigations revealed that the AFP, after wounding Beng, raped and shot her at close range. The AFP later on insisted that Beng was an NPA rebel.

This is what i hate about this activists, they only made accusation without evidence. such a shame for them.

hehehe.. korek... lefties, activist og mga idealist, daghan kay'g yaw2x pero way buhat, huna2x ray gadako. They're just like the people and the government that they want to remove/change, only that they're on the other side.. ..
sige'g syagit sa dan, way kapuslanan... nagkabata pajud ilang mga recruit rn kay mas dali mabrain.wash.. shock lng ta nga mga high-school pa gani, apil2x nag mga rally2x, mag.shagit2x sa dalan, dugang sa traffic.. Pero only a few of them or maybe none of them knows exactly what they're doing..

mind you everything you do is based on your idealism.

maayoha mangistorya aning rodion oi membro kas CEGP bro?

he already stated that he is a former member of the League of Filipino Students the broadest progressive organization here in the philippines, the Kabataang Makabayan and the CEGP, why ask again? please do read Rodion's post sir.

[radiostar]

bright daw, na brainwash ug ma ilad ra man pod d i! kanus-a kaha ni ma konsyensya ang mga nag tudlo!

why do you always say brainwashed? do you have any facts that maemae was being brainwashed by the College Editors Guild of the Philippines?

ang problema man gud karon is if you stick to your beliefs and go against the system, you are either branded as a leftist or a trouble maker. ang mga idealistic karon are being ostracized by the society. lisod kaayo mag idealistic karong panahona, ang mga tawo gusto lang mosunod sa mainstream, follow the flow, sakay-sakay. they probably thought that it's the best way.

If you are a young person, and you managed to see this situation very clearly, on your own, using your own powers of observation and analysis, then I salute you. The question now is, what are you going to do about it--will you also "go with the flow" or "stick to your own beliefs"? Why do I ask this question? Because this question, once answered, will determine the outcome of your life in the next 10 years. But you seem to be a very clever and perceptive person, so I don't think you will have any trouble with life. Great post.
