MANIFESTO OF SUPPORT To DR. LORRAINE BADOY

To Dr Lorraine Badoy, MD calling the CPP-NPA-NDF a terrorist organization
We, and thousands other retired Generals, Admirals, and Officers of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, the Philippine National Police, the Philippine Coast Guard, the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology, and the Bureau of Fire Protection, declare and strongly affirm our full support to Dr Lorraine Badoy, MD in calling the CPP-NPA-NDF a terrorist organization.
We join in her statement in calling the decision of Judge Malagar a legal misprision and distortion of the realities on the ground.
Judge Malagar’s heavy citation of the CPP-NPA-NDF’s Constitution to defend her anomalous decision whitewashes 53 years of violence and terror inflicted on the Filipino People.
Judge Malagar’s invocation of leniency for all the killings and murders committed by this terrorist organization is an insult to the cry for justice of all the victims of the CPP-NPA-NDF.
Calling these violence and murders merely ‘means’ to the CPP-NPA-NDF’s purpose of overthrowing our Constitutional Government is her indictment to perdition of our own Republic.
We have fought this enemy for decades and many among our ranks paid the ultimate sacrifice. No one knows this enemy more than us. And no one desires peace and the end of this violence more than we do.
We cannot attain this peace by mere assumption that the silence of guns in the battlefield is a moment of peace.
To silence the voices of peace crusaders such as Dr. Lorraine Badoy, MD is a threat to our democracy, our way of life.
Here, we add our voices for her message to ring louder and clearer, the CPP-NPA- NDF is a terrorist organization and a threat to our national security; to the Filipino people, we say this without a shadow of doubt.
