MANILA - The Armed Forces of the Philippines refuted the statement of Communist Party of the Philippines founder Jose Maria Sison.
In a previous statement, Sison compared the encounter in Nasugbu, Batangas, which led to the deaths of 15 alleged members of the New People’s Army, to the controversial Oplan Tokhang.
According to Brig. Gen. Arnulfo Marcelo Burgos, commander of the 202nd Infantry Brigade of the Philippine Army, the statement of Sison is just propaganda against the military.
Burgos said that Sison only seeks to preserve himself and the subsiding support for the communist rebel groups in the Philippines, particularly in Region-4A.
The army official explained that the military respects the human rights of the rebels, which is proven when the soldiers brought wounded NPA members to the hospital.
Burgos also insisted that the encounter in Nasugbu is a legitimate operation and this is proven by the numerous weapons and subversive documents seized from the slain communists.
