    labay man akon, my good news.. pero matyag ku my hokos pukos naman diri ang AFP.. MAINIT ANG KWARTA 200,000php. per surrenderee..WOW! deal na!

    Special offer number one – a huge reward in exchange for surrender and special offer number two – ceasefire in the coming weeks. The NPA is the armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and tagged on continued harrassments in hinterland barangays of the region.

    In Western Visayas alone, The News Today (TNT) gathered that up for early Christmas “gifts” are P200,000 for each NPA soldier who is ready to give up the fight. Surrender with the firearm, specifics of the offer went, and get the cold cash without any fuss, Captain Lowen Gil Marquez, AFP’s commanding officer of the 3rd Civil Relations Unit (CRU) assured. And it does not stop there.

    For spending years of immersion in communist camps and forced battle with the government, the AFP will also help the surrenderee move on with his civilian life. As such, workshops and training programs will be conducted aimed at giving the communist surrenderee a sustainable livelihood post-NPA years.

    In a TNT interview yesterday, Captain Marquez further said he is even willing to act as the negotiator to willing takers. Understandably, he added, the NPA fighters fear for their lives both from the offensives and continued operation of the government and fear from within the communist party.

    “They can also surrender through their choice of local officials – their mayors, congressmen – and even the media. In the spirit of Christmas, we would certainly want them to spend the holidays with their families and take this time to have a new life,” Captain Marquez added. “In this regard, we call on other militant groups – Bayan Muna, Gabriela, Leage of Filipino Students - to do the same and offer a better life to our brothers and sisters in the mountains free from violence.”

    A special appeal was likewise made by Captain Marquez to minor and women NPAs.

    “In Panay there could be some 100 NPA fighters altogether. Their numbers are not really that significant but we have this offer still,” he continued.

    My goodness! why comapare? in the end, it will be the same equation: the rich and politicians will become more richer! Crab mentality and being provincialistic will continue to drag us down in always being ‘developing’. So what if Iloilo can overtake Bacolod in IT, it simply shows investors had seen the oppurtunities and big potencial of iloilo. Basi gusto mn nla ibaligya airport nla pra mpatindugan call center? Ahay, Iloilo paspas, Bacolod Lagas!

    Forefront of that comparison obsession is Bacolod City Mayor Bing.

    The comparison among Bacolod politicos are already visible. I just noticed it when I read their news. It’s either a high ranking officials always say “We have already surpassed Iloilo blah blah”. I just don’t know why. Both live rather complementary to each other and having Iloilo as a monopoly will only hurt the Ilonggo citizens themselves.

    Falling behind Iloilo in IT? Iloilo City is the economic hub of Region VI and it’s not a question anymore if Iloilo City is abundant in economic development. Bacolod City or Negros Occidental is part of the Western Visayas region, whatever economic success Iloilo will reap will be in the advantage or benefit of the region but not in Iloilo City alone. I hope colonial or crab mentality will not arise again and again….please stop comparing, rather make it a healthy competition that everybody will gain.
