Tell it to SunStar: Troubling Raid on Philippine Indigenous School

Carvajal: Who are your friends?

SunStar + February 18, 2021 Where the government is losing to the CPP-NPA is in the battle for people’s hearts. While the CPP-NPA leaves no stone unturned in their effort to get the people’s sympathy to their cause, government can only think of brazen display of power on suspected CPP-NPA sympathizers. The latest proof of this, and this involved a highly unlikely group of CPP-NPA sympathizers, was the “rescue” of Lumad children from a retreat house run by priests of the Society of the Divine Word (SVD). In the first place, no “rescue” was necessary. The SVDs who run the University of San Carlos (USC) are people who are respected in Cebu and the whole country, and could easily have been given the benefit of the doubt. DSWD (Department of Social Welfare and Development) and/or NCIP (National Commission for Indigenous Peoples) should have approached USC authorities for a clarification of issues and the peaceful release of the children if so warranted.
