Hindi katanggap-tanggap ang pag-iral ng mga masaker sa kanayunan. Kung papaanong pumapatay ng mga magsasaka at manggagawang agrikultural ang rehimeng Duterte, gayundin ang gawain ng rehimeng Marcos noon. Sa usapin ng impunidad, wala silang pagkakaiba.Tama na, sobra na, #WakasanNa!ON ESCALANTE MASSACRE’S 36TH ANNIVERSARY: DUTERTE CONTINUES MARCOS’ ANTI-PEASANT VIOLENCE“Not only are we commemorating the Escalante Massacre. We are reliving it.” These were the words of Antonio Flores, chairperson of Unyon ng mga Manggagawa sa Agrikultura (UMA), as the labor federation greeted the tragedy’s 36th anniversary on September 20, 2021. “In 1985, state forces gunned down 20 civilians, most of them agricultural workers, right in front of the public plaza for struggling against the tyranny of Marcos. These days, agricultural workers still number among the 342 peasants murdered by state forces for struggling against the tyranny of Duterte.”36 years ago, the Escalante Massacre took place amid a people’s strike led by sugar workers months before the fall of the Marcos dictatorship. Weaned on the brutality of their commander-in-chief, local police, the Civilian Home Defense Force, and goons among resident civilians joined some 50 elements of the Regional Special Action Forces in encircling thousands of protestors and opened fire at them with automatic rifles and caliber .60 machine guns. Save for a few low-ranking policemen, none of the perpetrators were held accountable for the atrocity, especially not the barbarous institutions of the police and the military nor the bureaucrats who oversaw the realization of this Marcosian nightmare.“Marcos may be dead, but the nightmare lives on. Every single one of his successors pursued his legacy of anti-peasant violence, but Duterte may be his most violent heir yet,” continued Flores. “In five years, Duterte has committed more massacres than Marcos did in 21. He has out-massacred his fascist idol. The tyrant he buried as a hero would be proud.”At least 25 peasant massacres had taken place since 2016, and five of them were on Negros island, the sugar bowl of the Philippines. The blood-curdling murder of the Sagay 9 in October 2018 was only a month shy of the imposition of Memorandum Order 32 (MO32), a policy that militarized Negros, Samar, and Bicol in its declaration of a “state of lawless violence” over these regions. Soon after, the infamous Negros 14 Massacre was unleashed by then-regional police chief Debold Sinas and his cohorts in Canlaon, Manjuyod, and Sta. Catalina. Sinas, now an undersecretary of the Office of the President, would be rewarded with serial promotions and appointments, including the plum position of chief of the Philippine National Police.“MO32 got one thing right though, there is indeed lawless violence in these regions, especially in Negros,” explained the peasant leader. “But it’s the police and the military perpetrating it, not the farmers and agricultural workers they assail.” Flores underscored that Negros exemplified the semi-colonial and semi-feudal relations dominant in the country. While land monopoly remained a systemic problem all over the Philippines, it was most prevalent on the island, earning it the title of the country’s “hacienda capital.” For years, UMA had campaigned for the dismantlement of the hacienda and plantation systems through genuine agrarian reform—and for this, the federation earned the Duterte regime’s ire.“Just as Marcos terrorized farmers and agricultural workers for advancing the peasant struggle for land, so does Duterte bust our unions and crack down on our associations for demanding free land distribution,” concluded Flores. “We cannot let Duterte stay in power, let alone allow him and his henchmen to extend their stay through the 2022 elections. The people must exhaust all means to stop the killings—whether by voting him out of the palace, or by storming the streets with our fists in the air.”#NeverForget#NeverAgain#StopKillingFarmers#LandToTheTillers#DuterteWakasan ...

“By suppressing the demand for genuine agrarian reform, both Marcos and Duterte let big landlords and corporations do with Philippine soil as they pleased. That meant land would be devoted to what earned them profit instead of what the people needed,” lamented Unyon ng mga Manggagawa sa Agrikultura vice-chairperson and Anakpawis national president Ariel Casilao.“It would allow Duterte to carry out his plan of expanding corporate plantations some 1.6 million hectares more, adding to the 1.2 million already locked in lopsided agreements,” he continued. “That leaves at least 1/5 of the country’s total agricultural lands at the mercy of vulturous corporations.”#NeverForget #NeverAgainAGRI-WORKERS: LIKE MARCOS, DUTERTE KEEPS PEASANTS LANDLESS THROUGH STATE TERRORISMPress statement - September 21, 2021 - UMA“For agricultural workers, it’s like martial law never went away,” declared Antonio Flores, chairperson of Unyon ng mga Manggagawa sa Agrikultura (UMA). “Rural militarization, union-busting, baseless arrests, extra-judicial killings—these serve the same purpose under Duterte as they did under Marcos: to keep the peasant majority landless.”On September 21, 2021, numerous groups from different sectors swore to march towards Liwasang Bonifacio in Manila to protest against Marcosian state terrorism perpetrated by the Duterte regime. UMA numbered among these formations, bearing their demands for the protection of human rights, regular work, living wages, and free land distribution through genuine agrarian reform.“Marcos did not unleash his tyranny on a mere whim. Same with Duterte; he is not a despot for nothing,” explained Flores. “As commander-in-chief, the president is the executive lapdog of imperialists. He secures profit and power for himself by securing the interests of foreign monopoly capitalists and their local accomplices among big landlords and the comprador bourgeoisie.”In UMA’s analysis, Duterte replicated martial law through policies like Executive Order 70 and Memorandum Order 32, operations like Oplan Kapanatagan and Oplan Sauron, and militarist formations like the National Task Force to the End the Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) and the Anti-Terrorism Council (ATC). According to the federation, such moves put state forces in the service of landgrabbers.“Yesterday, we commemorated the Escalante Massacre, which Marcos carried out to suppress the peasant movement in Negros in 1985. Today, we call to mind all of Duterte’s 25 massacres in the countryside, each one conducted for the same goal,” underscored the peasant leader. “He went as far as killing 342 farmers, fisherfolk, and agricultural workers in just five years, revealing the lengths he would go to thwart the peasant struggle for land.”Majority of the Philippine population is still made up of peasants, and nine out of 10 have little or no land of their own to till. Such figures varied little from Marcos’ milieu, demonstrating how the combination of iron rule and fake land reform were effectively wielded by successive regimes to keep domestic agriculture export-oriented and backward. The prevalence of the hacienda and plantation systems testified to such backwardness. No thanks to the built-in flaws of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP), what little land had been distributed eventually re-concentrated in the hands of land monopolists, cementing the existence of vast agricultural estates. Through various non-land transfer schemes enabled by CARP, landlords and corporations fooled agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs) into surrendering back control of land.“By suppressing the demand for genuine agrarian reform, both Marcos and Duterte let big landlords and corporations do with Philippine soil as they pleased. That meant land would be devoted to what earned them profit instead of what the people needed,” lamented UMA vice-chairperson and Anakpawis Party-list national president Ariel Casilao.“It would allow Duterte to carry out his plan of expanding corporate plantations some 1.6 million hectares more, adding to the 1.2 million already locked in lopsided agreements,” he continued. “That leaves at least 1/5 of the country’s total agricultural lands at the mercy of vulturous corporations.”UMA also complained of various incidents of union-busting among agricultural workers. Regional chapters of UMA as well as formations affiliated with the National Federation of Sugar Workers were constantly redtagged by the Armed Forces of the Philippines. Leaders would get harassed by soldiers, instructed to leave or dissolve their existing labor unions in order to disaffiliate from UMA and join state-sanctioned unions built by the military. Deprived of their right to unionize, agricultural workers were left vulnerable to various labor abuses, from criminally low wages to exposure to dangerous chemical inputs.Those who refused to disaffiliate were threatened with arrest or murder, while those who felt they had no choice were falsely paraded as surrendered members of the New People’s Army (NPA), the armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines CPP). Just as Marcos framed martial law as a counter-insurgency response to the CPP-NPA, so did Duterte frame rampant militarization under EO70 and MO32. In the guise of crushing armed revolutionaries, the police and the military targeted civilian activists, Marcos-style.“We swore to never forget the atrocities of Marcos. But Duterte keeps repeating them, leaving us no other choice but to end his tyranny,” warned Flores. “In the cities, we will storm the streets. In the countryside, we will storm the farms. In parliament, we will storm the offices of bureaucrats. We must seize the reins from despots, be they the Dutertes or the Marcoses, and steer the country where peasants and workers need it to go—in the direction of national democracy.”#NeverForget#NeverAgain#FightTyranny#DuterteWakasan ...

In Duterte war on Reds, Marcos’ martial law survivors fall victims againRandall EchanisEchanis, a peasant activist recognized for crafting the Genuine Agrarian Reform Bill, was tortured and killed inside his residence in Quezon City in 2020 by armed men believed to be state forces.Former Anakpawis Rep. Ariel Casilao said Echanis was ill and having medical treatment and was unarmed when police raided his home.Forensic pathologist Dr. Raquel Fortun said Echanis was killed by a stab to the aorta, not a gunshot wound: “[T]he implications seems to be there that, if literally torture means suffering was inflicted, in this sense, physical suffering.”#Tumindig #DuterteWakasanNa #neveragain #neverforgetnewsinfo.inquirer.net/1490732/in-duterte-war-on-reds-marcos-martial-law-survivors-fall-victims-again ...
