Bagong Alyansang Makabayan-Negros | PRESS STATEMENT | Reference: BAYAN-Negros Public Information Department | Mobile #:09217859554 | The more Governor Alfredo Marañon, Jr. talks about his concept of peace, the more we suspect that he is equating it with business.
As the governor’s mind is kept busy with the multi-million selling and leasing of Capitol properties, he is also calling on armed groups particularly the New People’s Army to lay down their arms and join what he calls as the “mainstream” of society.
Bagong Alyansang Makabayan-Negros | PRESS STATEMENT | August 18, 2011 | Reference: Christian Tuayon, Secretary General | Mobile #:09217859554 | If there is any amount of decency left in him, His Excellency, Chief Supt. Cipriano Querol, Jr. should beat a hasty retreat.
As the Senate continues to investigate the used chopper controversy, the leadership of the National Police should also probe their Region 6 police director to see if one of the rotors has been stuck in Querol’s brain.

Reference: Christian Tuayon, Secretary General, BAYAN-Negros | Aquino’s populist line “tuwid na daan” has been revealed as a fallacy rather than a genuine call for change since this government implemented the U.S. Imperialist- imposed programs such as Public-Private Partnership (PPP) and counter insurgency (COIN) Oplan Bayanihan. Comfortable in its puppetry to the U.S., Aquino has not shown real interest in pursuing peace and justice or solving the root causes of the armed conflict despite the resumption of peace negotiation. In fact, the Aquino regime has paved the way to the further exploitation of our country’s natural and human resources thru the rehashed neo-liberal scheme that is bound to further spur massive unemployment, landlessness, economic dislocation, ejection, denial of social services and rapid price hike.
