At about 5:30 am today, a unit of Roselyn Jean Pelle Command-New People’s Army (RJPC-NPA) carried out a punitive action against a notorious rapist in Barangay Bandila, Toboso, Negros Occidental.
Isagani Imalay aka “Uko” perpetrared several counts of rape and attempted rape terrorizing women in the community and preying on the young and vulnerable.
He was previously charged for rape in the reactionary court and issued warrant, but because of law enforcement’s lukewarm treatment of his case, he remained scot-free until now to persist in his reprehensible acts of violating women.
In stark contrast, the appropriate branch of revolutionary people’s court forthwith took cognizance of his case in lieu of the mounting clamor for justice from the masses and the victims themselves and their families. He was fairly tried in an impartial judicial process. Even with his conviction, he was given a chance to mend his crooked ways and reform but to no avail because he remained unrepentant until the end.
Imalay was armed to the teeth when Red fighters cornered him and he fiercely resisted. Seized from his possession were .45 and .357 pistols and one Ingram submachine gun along with their magazines and ammunitions.
The punishment of Imalay highlights the superiority of people’s revolutionary justice system over the essentially inept, corrupt and elitist judicial system of the reactionary state. Revolutionary justice is epitomized in the slogans fair, swift and just.
Surely, the online mouthpiece of the Armed Forces of the Philippines will again resurrect their imagined ghost of “killing spree” and will spin doctor the punishment of Imalay as “senseless killing” of a civilian.
From such narrative, they are only exposing themselves as enablers of criminals like the rapist “Uko” and other scoundrels whose punishments welcomed by the masses as big relief from the burden they caused.
