A Comparative Study of 23 Cases of Extrajudicial Killings Filed Against the GRP that the Macapagal-Arroyo Regime is Attributing to the NDFP
A publication of the NDFP Human Rights Monitoring Committee
May 2007
This publication, a study by the NDFP Monitoring Committee (MC) and its Joint Secretariat (JS), was prompted by repeated public claims by officials of the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP) imputing the blame or responsibility for the extrajudicial killings of hundreds of legal activists and unarmed civilians to the New People’s Army (NPA), the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), and other revolutionary forces, constituting the national liberation movement in the Philippines.
Based on the facts, circumstances, pattern, brazenness, brutality, context, and impunity for the attacks, the NDFP has consistently placed the responsibility for the extrajudicial killings on the GRP in the implementation of its socalled counterinsurgency programs, Bantay Laya I and II. These have laid stress on suppressing and targeting the suspected legal political structure of the armed revolutionary movement patterned after the CIA-instigated Phoenix program in Vietnam.
