Very scary. I read in the newspaper (Philippine Star, Feb. 24, 2007) that Palparan confirmed some of statement in the report. "My order to my soldiers is that, if they are certain that there are armed rebels in the hourse or yard, shoot them. It will just be too bad if civilians are killed in the process. We are sorry if you are killed in the crossfire." He was also quoted as saying, "There would be some collateral damage, but it will be short and tolerable. The enemy would blow it up as a massive violation of human rights. But to me, it would just be necessary incidents."
The President considered an all out war against the communists as an important battle to fight terrorism. For her, the communists are terrorists.

yes that's true. the facts all speak for themselves- the military spearheaded by the president herself we're behind the killings. who else would do that? who else have anything against the people who advocate peace, justice and serve for the interests of the people if not the government?

Such practices are a mainstay of Philippine politics. Been that way for 50 years.

you don't say! during my reign, there were only a handful of generals who had the 'discretion' of carrying out such acts. of course, they were given such a privilege by yours truly.
but nowadays everyone is into the act. pure pandemonium. you can't tell who's offing whom and it is tearing filipino society into bits. now do you see the mess you've all chosen for yourselves?
