Commission on Human Rights
The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) is set to conduct its own probe on the reported mass surrender of 244 individuals and suspected communist rebels allegedly affiliated with Bayan Muna and the urban poor organization Kalipunan ng Damayang Mahihirap (KADAMAY) last April 30.
It said it had a dialogue with Bayan Muna Chairperson Neri Colmenares who claimed that the reported mass surrender was “fake” and branded it as another instance of red-tagging that was used to vilify any dissent against the government.
In his letter to CHR, Colmenares said that the April 30 event in the City of San Jose del Monte in Bulacan organized by the Philippine National Police (PNP) and National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Insurgency (NTF-ELCAC) presented alleged ex-rebels who claimed they were recruited by organizations like Bayan Muna to be members of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (CPP-NPA).

The two-day program started last Thursday in the towns of Doña Remedios Trinidad and Norzagaray wherein 1,752 beneficiaries were given assistance.
Governor Daniel R. Fernando announced that Bulakenyo students can file their applications until August 15, 2021.
He said the pandemic cannot stop the government from providing free and quality education to its constituents.
“Kahit na tayo po ay nasa gitna ng pandemya, may mga paraan po tayo upang maipagpatuloy ang pag-aaral ng ating mga kabataan. Libre po ito, walang bayad. Ngunit maaari po natin itong maibalik sa ating bansa sa pamamagitan ng pag-aaral nang mabuti, pagtatapos, at paggamit ng ating mga natutunan upang mapaunlad ang ating sarili, ang ating pamilya, at ang ating komunidad,” (Amid pandemic we have systems to continue the studies of the youth. This is free, no payment. But we can give back to our country by way of studying hard, graduating, and using what we’ve learned to develop ourselves, our family and our community),” the governor said.
