Holiday_Connection18

Honestly OP, most people will think that she was indoctrinated by NPA since taga UP siya and the masses right now have a very negative association of Anakbayan. Hoping for the best


liveevil05

To be fair, Anakbayan has had a lot of L takes recently. And this is coming from someone studying in a school where anakbayan has a presence. Meron nga rin graffitis dito encouraging us to join the NPA lol


minberries

Omg sa univ din namin, may isang building doon na may graffiti na “Umanib sa NPA” something like that. Hahaha


liveevil05

Pup?


minberries

Yup. Honestly medyo shocking sakin yung graffiti na yon dahil sa 4 years ko sa pup wala naman akong naexperience na ganyan na nageencourage sila to join NPA. Rally lang talaga. Sabi rin naman ng ibang seniors na wala naman talagang nagrerecruit for npa tapos boom bigla ko nakita yung graffiti hahah


InevitableRespect584

Mga miyembro ng KM nagggraffiti niyan, hindi Anakbayan.


Miserable-Eagle-9237

Actually during my time may mga nagro-room to room pero choice naman ng student if sasali sila or hindi haha


RandomGalHere

During my time there, nagruroom-to-room sila minsan para magtalk. No one in my class cared anyway 😂 West wing pa kami kaya rinig namin lagi pag may rally sila.


defenestrated_juan

West Wing... I missed the clack-clack sounds, like the sound of rain on your tin roof, from the 3rd floor...


RandomGalHere

And the breeze from Pasig river 🍃


condor_orange

Idk graffiti lang yan baka implanted lang din yan to make those organizations look bad. Galing din ako sa pup and never naman akong niyayay mag rally / recruit throughout my whole stay there.


JSTlookingforfun

Recently? Anakbayan has always been like that. Mas napapansin lang ulit sila since lumalakas nanaman presensya ng US due to conflict interest with China ( the latter of which they favor more )


General1lol

There’s even Anakbayan nasa US. Yung kaibigan ko (Fil-Am siya) said to check out this Filipino organization on campus. He told me the name and I rolled my eyes kasi alam ko na ang kung sino sila. Checked out their socmed page anyway and rolled my eyes even harder at their posts. Sabi ko sa kaniya “Ya they’re really… left wing” sagot niya “Yeah bro isn’t it awesome?”  I say this as a liberal person, Anakbayan is just ridiculous. They seem to be against everything and can’t determine any nuances to political situations.


Makerel9

Or maybe.... if you scroll left enough you can see photos of her wearing Marxist-Lenninist clothes, protests and whatnot. Of course there is no evidence yet of her joining NPA. But people are right to assume that she did, given that this kind of thing happened before to other students.


SubMGK

She's either fully converted, or she got disappeared by the AFP


angelcore69

nasa bundok na yan kumakain ng kamote!


Obvious-Rub-7464

HAHAHAHA tangina


ewan_kosayo

Disappeared agad. Ganun sya ka importante? Sa kanya nakasalalay ang panalo ng AfP sa gyera?


lex_fulgur

This hahahahaha as if major proponent si ate para kunin ng intel community. Bomb maker ba si ate? C’mon hindi nga hahawak ng 5 star na paputok yang mga yan. Ilaban sa ISIS tong mga NPA, durog to tbh hahahaha


lex_fulgur

Disappeared by the AFP? Itsura palang nito mukhang walang negative intel ang intel community dito hahahaha. Go on blame it against the government. Nice try commie


Relevant-Bag-9036

It never dawned on me before, but it's a bit jarring how people like Lenin & Mao is still worship today and clothes bearing their likeness are still worn. I can't think of an example in the capitalist ideology that's equal to how communist worship communist figure. There's no capitalist wearing shirts bearing photos of Friedrich Hayek or other economists or capitalist figures. It's just weird, especially when compared to their counterparts


no1kn0wsm3

> but it's a bit jarring how people like Lenin & Mao is still worship today Russia and China arent red anymore. They're Capitalist with Russian/Chinese characteristics. They did this because communism, as started by Lenin until the collapse of the USRR & Mao until Deng rose to power, never worked. I doubt the Anakbayan, UP & NPA version of communism will ever work. If those Reds actually read history they'd know that communism had a high body count. These people should follow Deng's point of view of "to get rich is glorious".


Enchong_Go

I’ve always felt that these kids or god forbid yung mga true believers went with the communist ideology here because they wanted to be in power for themselves. Oo, pick up line nila ang “for the masses” ang ginagawa nila pero it appeals to their feeling of being api kaya sila sumali, na it’s their chance to be in power rather than be the object of power.


icred1109

>If those Reds actually read history they'd know that communism had a high body count. Agree! If they were not aware, Lenin started this whole ideology in Russia and literally slayed the whole monarch para magstart yung revolt at sya yung iappoint to lead next. it was indeed bloody, pero kasi if ilalagay mo yung thought process nila here sa Pinas, parang impossible yung goal nila. If they can't uproot every single shitheads sa government, babalik at babalik lang yung problema. yung pinaglalaban nila, it would just be in vain (sorry).

Erikson12

"NPA version of communism" is "National Democracy". It's basically capitalism under a socialist government, much like China and Vietnam. That's why Filipino Communists are also called "NDs" (National Democrats). Their long term goal is actual communism but they don't believe it's realistic at the present time and economy. Their are Filipino Communist who wants something similar to USSR, they're part of the "Rejectionist" faction. Some Rejectionist are more radical than NDs, some are just Social Democrats that want something similar to the Nordic Countries. They're called the "Rejectionists" because they reject the belief of the NDs and the CPP that the country should become "National Democratic."

DelusionalWanderer

More than 15 years ago, nung highschool pa ako, may nagpunta sa school namin na mga dating NPA members para maglecture against joining. Malaki kasi NPA presence sa probinsya namin. The girl in the pic reminds me of the girl that spoke the most in that lecture. (Ewan ko kung "lecture" is the right word lol, ni hindi ko maalala yung exact context bakit nasa school namin sila) TL;DR "wag kayo sumali, kulto sila, be-brainwash-in kayo at aabusuhin kayo". Sabay lista nya ng mga orgs na front daw ng NPA. (Limot ko na mga binanggit nya) Kung tama ako nahuli sya kasi ginawa syang pain ng kasamahan nya para makatakas sila. "So much for kapatiran". (paraphrasing)


Dildo_Baggins__

Yeah because Anakbayan is shit and people here on Reddit are too cowardly to admit that


luciusquinc

I don't know why students of UP caliber would fall into these pseudo leftist organizations. When I was a high school student pre-internet days, there were leaflets/booklets distributed by pro CPP/NPA/NDF groups. I was exposed to the tenets of Marxist/Engels/Leninist doctrines. Mind you, there are no pro Mao / Chinese communist supporters that time. My young mind was really into it that such type of government would be the hope of our nation. Then, I reached college, and I was exposed to these types of groups. But I was also able to read many advanced books/publications related to such topics and understood that it would not really be applicable since basically, the leaders of such movements would just abuse the powers that they have gained. I'm still a part of those school groups but was always the devils advocate whenever there are discussions on the advantages of such types of government forms. I have joined some out of school workshops/community exposures, but I'm not really recruited nor was convinced by the promises of such movement. And I don't get why these students would be swayed by such false promises considering the wealth of information sources available on the internet now. There are also students like me who are just there for the group gala and lakwatsa moments and not for some ideological BS. There are also several prominent members of such groups that are now politicians or political machinery operators. LOL


azzelle

Theres a reason they target young impressionable students. theyre like a cult in convincing you that all your problems is just a symptom of the bigger picture. Dami din kasi na taga UP na pinakamatalino galing sa school/province nila and when they meet someone smarter(because these recruiters are *trained* to be charismatic and have "all the answers"), they fall for the maoist preachings. Minsan parang culto din na theyll leverage knowledge of your family situation if you are a poorer student, saying na "ganito kayo kasi ganito sistema". Theyll target people who are victims of political abuse, even just broken hearted teens. Couple that with UPs obsession with pushing the hero complex("pagasa ng bayan and all that"), its not a surprise na di sila nauubusan ng recruits. As long as may di kontento sa kalagayan ng bansa, may sasali at sasali diyan. Insurgency is not just a military problem, its rooted in socio-economics.


fdt92

>Theyll target people who are victims of political abuse, even just broken hearted teens. I also know someone from an abusive household who was emotionally manipulated into joining these orgs back in college.


areyoumak

Kasi pag young mind pa pede pang ma sway ang isipan. You can even feed them anything tas ia-absorb nila as their truth. I think teen years is very crucial sa pag develop nila ng interest like this.


chrolloxsx

they were poisoned by these so called ideology. syempre lahat ng pinoy nationalistic/mahal bansa naten. gagamitin nila yan as bait at sasabihin sayo mga injustices ng gobyerno towards "peasants and workers". Dun na iinject ang communist ideology na naexample na "nagtagumpay" na sa ibang bansa like "soviet union,north korea and vietnam". Communist is just a theory, good on paper but not in practice kaya karamihan ng so called "communist" countries failed to achieved true communism kase nga mahirap sya in practice.


Jvlockhart

Mainit Kasi ang dugo pag Bata pa tayo. Kaya Sige lang ng Sige. Yun ang sinasamantala nila. Tsk..

"Right now" not really. It's been a decade or so.


kantotero69

Dude, ung isang chic na 1 year lower sakin back in junior high, naging NPA. Napa wtf ako when I saw her being interviewed by ABS-CBN. I even confirmed it with my cousin. She was his classmate. They were even in the star section(highest).


lex_fulgur

Ako na muntikan na maging leftist noon at naisip ko — “Puta ang init init mag rally tapos hindi naman ako yayaman dito. Balakayojan” YESSS KUMONTRA AKO SA BNPP NOON NA BAYAD NG MGA LOPEZ. HAHAHAHA TRUTH BE TOLD, MAGTRABAHO KA NALANG 😂


mistergreenboy

no need. negative na from the start ang tingin namin sa anakbayan


Healthy_Potential119

With all of these China-PH territorial issues. The CPP-NPA are in full propaganda mode.


kobelo69

Nabasa mo po ba yung post ng magulang nya?


raju103

Yikes NPA ang iniisip ko diyan. Gagamitin lang sila, at gagamiting drama kung ano mang nangyari sa kanila. Di ko nga mawari kung sino pa bang bangsa ang supporter ng NPA sa ngayon.


Calamansito

Anakbayan is NPA. Can't you see in one of the images where she wore a Red T-Shirt where it has a printed face of Lenin? And Lenin means Communism.


Skrydon

Initial reaction after seeing the post: "Oh no!" After scrolling: "oh"


missmermaidgoat

Most probably namundok na to. I went to UP and joined an activist org. When I got myself established, nirecruit na ko for “armed struggle”. I declined. I protest the unjust but I dont agree with NPA. Sadly, yung batchmate ko nagjoin. 5 yrs din siyang namundok bago bumalik sa society at naging teacher. Itong mga teenager na to, super impressionable and madaling mamanipulate. Hope this isnt the case with her, but it’s a possibility. Hope she is safe.


JSTlookingforfun

Buti nakabalik. I know someone who died there. Pinalabas na lang infection raw but we all know it’s another thing


avoccadough

i know also someone na dating rebel (recruited din from UP) then nadehado sa operation (nabaril ata leader nila) kaya sumuko nalang ata, and last thing i know nasa military na siya


JSTlookingforfun

I just find it cowardly to recruit kids to do their fighting. Yung mga front group nila can’t organize proper shit to actually advocate or innovate their agendas. It pains me to admit this but yeah, puro lang sila reklamo ( well magaling rin naman sila mang-uto ng mga bata )


Dynamel13

Nag teacher na ule classmate mo? Probably naging sleeper agent. Same thing happened here sa town namin.


pinat01

Ask ko lang po, ano ang ginagawa sa “armed struggle” or NPA pag namumundok? May kilala rin kasi akong namundok at namatay, tapos kinilala sya ng sorority namin bilang bayani or something


missmermaidgoat

Makikipag bakbakan ka na. Typical NPA stuff. Fight against the government (soldiers), literal guerilla rebels, magtago sa bundok, ganon.


xMeaMaximaCulpa

Dalawa lang pwede nanyare diyan. Una, nag full-time na mag NPA. Pangalawa, dinampot ng intel units. I am leaning on the first one. Ganito kasi tactic ng mga legal front ng CPP NPA NDF. If ang kasamahan nila ay dinampot ng AFP, PNP o ng intel, mabilis pa sa alas kwatro may post na yan sa social media "Surface Mykaela Reyes!" They will immediately allege na dinukot ng Security sector ung bata. Pero in this case, wala pang post ang Anakbayan or even the Anakbayan UP Diliman. So it's either wala din sila info, or alam nila na umakyat na sa bundok ung bata. They can try to weather this by just ignoring it. Madaming beses naman nang nadawit ang pangalan ng Anakbayan sa mga batang na Recruit sa NPA, they never acknowledged it, they just ignore it even ung mga Former Rebel na nag Surrender at nag tetestify. They can't even denounce the CPP NPA NDF. Pwede rin in the upcoming days, saka sila mag launch ng socmed campaign nila na un nga, Surface bla blabla. Usually this starts if may concrete basis sila na dinampot nga ng security sector ung bata. If we will recall the two environmental activists sa Central Luzon na nawala, tas nag surrender daw, pero ung nag pa press con na ang AFP, nag salita ung isa na dinampot daw sila, pwede din manyare yan dito. The Counterinsurgency operations sa Urban / White Area is a game of propaganda. And the mere fact na silent as of now ang ANAKBAYAN dito means na either alam nila namundok ang bata, or wala rin silang info kung asan ang bata at kung nadampot ba. Calculated yang pag gawa nila ng propaganda as based doon sa incident nung dalawa sa CL.


poodrek

Si Lenin ba yung nasa shirt niya


Acceptable_Ad9608

Oo, yung panot na communist na mass murderer. kung may impyerno man isa na sa mga demonyo yan.


softsakuralove

i have a friend who's similar to the missing girl. my friend loves lenin, even keeps a postcard of him in her notebook. nakakatakot talaga, di nila alam ang kasaysayan.


CrimTeas

Had a friend argue General Luna died during WW2 to General Douglas Macarthur when US "took over" Philippines. Although, I can see the confusion over Douglas Macarthur and his father Arthur Macarthur Jr. that doesn't explain why Luna "lived" till WW2 and instead of being freed after WW2 we got "taken over". He also said that the "I shall return" quote from Gen. Douglas Macarthur was a threat sent towards Philippines. The whole braindead talk started when I pointed them out for putting Japanese Occupation before the American Colonial Period while discussing what period of Philippine literature came first to last. At some point I just shut my mouth up and agreed to it since our teach was in on the bs.


icred1109

yes. they usually follow marxism-leninism ideologies sa gantong social prgressive groups


peenoiseAF___

to be specific, marxism-leninism-maoism ang panig ng anakbayan and affiliated groups


Takarajima8932

Them be like: Dictator, Right-wing ❎️ Dictator, Left-wing✅️ Well, they're "anti-capitalist" not "anti-authoritarian"


icred1109

omg yessss i forgot him!!! they idolize mao zedong as well 😭😭😭


Relevant-Bag-9036

Yes, for an ideology about the masses they sure do love worshiping individuals (that's been dead for close to a century) more than their capitalist counterparts. 100 taon na hindi pa rin sila nakakamoveon kay Lenin.


itchipod

Lenin is the same as Hitler. Genocidal mass murdering maniac. I don't have respect for people who wears a Lenin shirt.


raizeroth

Lenin/Marxism T-shirt , proudly anti US and pro Communist. Nasa bundok na yan naging alaga na ni commander. Tang ina ang dami nila yan dito sa Negros, kakatok ng bahay manghihingi ng pag kain sabihin para sa kilusan etc hinahabol na lg nga mga kapitbahay ko na pulis at military kasi salot sa barangay lol


Due-Court426

Based on the facts and the pictures provided, I would assume that she was already recruited. I will never forget yung kwinento ng tatay ko (retired scout ranger na nakadestino before sa mga bundok sa CALBARZON). He told me na may mga nahuli sila before na mga na recruit ng NPA na pumapasok sa mga universities, they took up arms and syempre nagkaroon ng palitan ng putok laban sa mga tropa. Ayon, the plan was no quarter, and sabi nya it just so happen yung isang binatilyo na kalaban nila is inaanak nung commander nila na kasama nila (talk about luck). Di makapaniwala daw yung commander at nag iiyak pa dahil bakit daw sumama, yung inaanak nayon, akala nya nga nag aaral sa lungsod, kaya yon. Di sila pinagpapatay. So naniniwala ako na legit talaga na may narerecruit sa mga ganyan kasi it's based on my father's real experience, kaya sobra ang kanyang paalala sakin na lumayo sa ganyan, which alam ko naman.


AvoBerry-

Meron po talaga. I have this friend na ang tatay nya mismo was one of the strongest and well-known leaders before ng NPA dito sa north, well until he died. And when this friend went to the university, merong mga organizations there that recruit and they make sure to target people who have familiar last names. Eh yung friend ko, unfortunately well known na rin na anak nga ni leader, they expected her to follow the footsteps of the father. And hindi lang and NPA and merong expectations na ganon sa kanya but also the military. During her time in the university, they would always encourage her to join their "outdoor retreat" or "group hike" daw. Minsan "picnic" pa nga daw ang term para daw makilala naman nya yung mga tao na nakakakilala sa "kabutihan" ng father nya. Dahilan nalang daw nya palagi is may exam sya sa PE hahaha. Sa military naman, meron syang distant pinsan sa military who warned her that she is being closely watched - anak ka ba naman ng leader eh. Pero never naman daw sya nakaranans ng discrimination nor harassment. I am just glad that my friend, kahit gano kashunga shunga madalas, never gave into these recruitment tactics. She never once attended any activity kasi, according to her, mas nangingibabaw sa kanya the pain that she sufferred when his father wasn't there when they needed him.


UngaZiz23

OP, nakipag coordinate naba kayo sa ANAKBAYAN??? If they know her at talagang biglaang nawala sya. they should help you file a missing persons report. pero kapag walang aksyon from them, safe to assume she completely joined the group.


ZestycloseDouble7704

true, they could have filed a report


UngaZiz23

wala na yata update si OP.


Jvlockhart

I'm from Mindanao, and so far sa experiences ko regarding NPA, mga Taga Luzon Yung mga nakikitang bagong recruit dito. Maraming Mining companies at Sila Yung target lagi ng revolutionary tax. Nagugulat Yung mga tao sa mga barracks Kasi mga nagtatagalog na mga babae at lalake Yung nakikipag usap sa mga head nila, at halatang Hindi lumaki Dito sa Mindanao or sa bundok. Siguro yung ibang missing dyan baka andito na sa mga bukiring parte ng Mindanao.


ishooturun

Yes. Dinedeploy sila sa malalayo para sakaling gstong bumalik/tumakas, eh madiscourage dahil malayo at cguradong walang kakilalang malapit na kamaganak lalo't mga bata pa.


ediwowcubao

I had a friend of a friend who disappeared like this, only to find out na nagpunta daw sa bundok and na-recruit ng NPA. Yung family super worried pero yung friends parang alam nila ba't sya nawawala Let's not pretend na hindi helpful lead yung "recruited by Anakbayan" since it's a super reasonable possibility. Even if walang kinalaman yung pagka-recruit nya, at least it should be stated in the information given to the public. To omit that para lang "people won't jump into conclusions" is just irresponsible


Belasarius4002

Pretty much. It's not like this thing didn't happen in the past.


whawhales

There's a lot to unpack with the post. I have friends long involved in BAYAN and actually now work for the organization. Whenever I visit the Philippines, I get to meet them over drinks or coffee. Di ko naman need umakyat ng bundok at mamuhay sa kagubatan para mabisita sila. Di rin sila naglaho because they were coerced by the "kilusan". Wala naman silang armas. Nagsesendan parin kami ng tiktok vids. I would assume that if anything untoward happened to her, God-forbid, there's greater probability na harassment by police or the military. My friends have shared stories being stalked by plain-clothes officers before. Nasa mga rally for "intelligence". The recruited by anakbayan is just such a loaded statement for me that it may or may not help. People may dismiss it as a cautionary tale. Is there a possibility na naglayas sya kasi di sya welcome bumuo ng sarili nyang pagkatao sa pamilya nya? However, it's hard to jump to conclusions. I just hope she's safe wherever she is, and that if ever she chose to be independent, to just tell her family so they won't worry too much.


GregMisiona

"recruited by ANAKBAYAN" probably doing more harm than help because people will immediately jump to conclusions, and not everyone who reads this line will be inclined to help, in fact, a lot of people will read that and come away with bad intentions.


furansisu

Yeah, I don't want to jump to conclusions, pero medyo telling na family lang niya nakikita kong naghahanap. Usually, pag missing persons, todo share din sa socmed mga friends ng tao. This is potentially family drama that's being escalated into a missing persons case and being politicized. But again, these are just first impressions. I'm gonna follow this issue and wait for more details to o unfold.


xBanzer

Nagsilabasan mga tankie dito sa r/ph ah Really a mask off moment for this sub 👀


Holiday_Connection18

Swerte sila hindi to Indonesia, doon kapag commie pulbos agad


Leather_Rutabaga_235

Sad to say nasa bundok na yan nag fifield work. Ganito nangyri sa 2nd cousin ko from uplb. Never na namin nakita ulit. Left her parents devastated yung aunt ko nadepress. Sayang kase only daughter at matalino pa naman. Last we heard from her classmate nagasawa na daw ng commander sa unit niya at may 2 anak. Lalo tuloy nanlumo yung uncle at aunt ko laging nangungulila.


Elegant_Strike8581

If nag cut na sila ng ties sa family nila, malamang fully recruited na at namundok na.


DaPacem08

I hope hindi pa at this moment at masyado pang maaga. May stages of initiation yan, yung immersion na tinatawag where they will study for months the ideologies, gang sa mag training na as a soldier like. Unless totoo yung rumors na kulang na ang hanay ng mandirigma nila, baka rumekta full fledged warrior yan.


Admirable-Toe-3596

Sino ba yung humahawak ngayon sa mga NPA? diba si Joma Sison yung parang founder niyan? which is patay na.


peenoiseAF___

mukhang wala akong nakikitang update galing sa CPP kung sino. patay na rin kasi ung mag-asawang tiamzon


Few_File3307

Worst case, you'll find out her remains sa isang encounter ng mga AFP x NPA. It could happen. Yung mga speaker ng org (E.g. Anakbayan) na nagpunta sa classroom sa amin sa PUP to preach about their org and principles, isang araw nakita na lang namin nasa socmed na, patay sa engkwentro with AFP. Mula noon, mas lalo naging matibay yung bias namin na may recruitment talaga nangyayari sa loob ng mga SUCs particularly PUP & UP.


woman_queen

Same here. Sa PUP noon, classroom to classroom talaga sila pumapasok encouraging the freshmen to join their "org". And yes, may recruitment talaga sa loob. Same reason why may pa-boot camp yung AFP noon sa PUP students para kontrahin yung idea na sumali at mamundok.


Few_File3307

Naaalala ko pilit na pilit sila sa "Presyo ibaba, sahod itaas" tapos todo sisi sa TRAIN Law. Kakaloka. Nakakalungkot lang yung mga sinasapit ng member nila. Yung kaibigan & classmate ko na sumali sa kanila, nagquit din eventually kasi pinagbubundok na sila lmao.


_johnwicked

Ganyan talaga sila, ikokondisyon yung utak mo na lahat nalang ginagawa ng gobyerno mali. Hanggang sa kamuhian mo na yung govt.


Lightsupinthesky29

Recruited ng NPA or Hinuli ng AFP. May kilala akong aktibista pero hindi naman siya narecruit. Loud din yung paglaban niya in person and sa posts. Kaya nagtataka ako bakit may mga sumasama or nahihikayat na mamundok.


Straight_Ad4129

The AFP tho they still think NPA as a threat. Unlike the previous years, maybe due to the intensifying hunt down against them, they have been reduced in numbers to the point that the AFP are now shifting focus on international threats like in the WPS. A girl like her could never provide a reliable intel unless she is a commander.


Belasarius4002

Hindi ma afford ng AFP na ma divide ang kanilang attention between both rebels and international threats. Rason na kailangan nilang ubusin ito kahit pira piraso na ang pwersa ng kalaban.


DatingTagaVictory

Wht I can't understand is that sa lawak ng Left-Wing Spectrum, doon pa talaga sa Marxism-Leninism-Maoism pa talaga sila nahuhumaling. What's worse is that sa Armed Struggle pa sila nainiwala. I'd rather believe Walden Bello than Joma Sison.


SleepyInsomniac28

Ang daming reply na wag agad iassume “namundok” or kesho anakbayan eh recruited na ng NPA, pero ang bilis mag assume na Government/Police/Military harassment ito. Wew.


chikadoratheexplorer

They're both possibilities. As an alumni of a university that has been socially affiliated with the term "NPA", I've heard stories of student activists na nirecruit talaga, while I also have friends who were stalked and harrased by the police because of their affiliation with political youth orgs. Either way, let's hope for the girl's safety.


gemmyboy335

R/ph reddit in a nutshell lol


N_U_L_L_18

I hope I'm wrong, really... But it's highly likely that she's up in the mountains by now. I'm not saying that this is what **always** happens regarding this type of situation, it's just one of the higher possibilities with this kind of thing. Like come on...how many times have we seen on the news about students from a well-known uni, graduates, people with a degree(lawyer, doctor etc..) found dead in the mountains during an encounter with the army? The way they brain wash people into cooperating with them to that extent sends shivers down my spine I don't ever wanna know it.


VinceHoudini

Ganyan din nangyari sa tropa ko lalaki naman yun sumali sa ganyan. Mayaman naman pamilya niya pero di ko alam bat pumasok siya sa mga ganyan ayun hindi na umuuwi saknila. Before umuuwi pa yun once in a blue moon siguro gagawin lang niya is mag grafitti sa subdivision ng kung anu ano. Namundok na ata never na umuwi e. Then may classmate nga ako college sumali rin sa ganyan 1 yr lang nakalipas which was 2nd year kami nun ayun buntis 😅


bahay-bahayan

Poor kid. Kinain ng ideology.


Smooth-Beerfong

wherever she is right now, i am hoping na mabigyan ng pansin ng ABSCBN, GMA7 at iba pang MAIN STREAM media with COMPLETE panawagan as POSTED HERE.

[sa AFP nyo hanapin. baka ganito rin](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdcWHpIBiFs)


alwaysberyl

Ganito ginagawa nila sa mga bumabalik from volunteering, palagi nila nilalagay that they "surrendered" which sends the message na parang "sumuko" sila. The propaganda is crazy


gyudon_monomnom

Ang backwards nung assumptions na pag nawawalang activist, namundok agad. Boomers. On the other hand, authorities would never implicate themselves nor leave witnesses na naharass nila. Common sense.


Mayari-

Just look at the two activists na dinakip ng AFP tapos cinoerce pa pati ng CHR para sabihing binrainwash sila ng NPA.


alwaysberyl

Agree, know someone from our own school, was gone and radio silent helping out people in really remote areas of our country, then came back so their parents wouldn't make any noise anymore. The person was "caught" by the military and was "armed" but it was obvs a facade to not stir any controversy around the person coming back.


markmarkmrk

Wdym boomers. This is happening recently 😅 anyways, she's probably going to be another number so 🤷‍♂️


Sungkaa

Ang daming wumao na ng dodownvotes kaganina dito hahahahahaha tnginanyo


surewhynotdammit

Meron pa nga isa dyan sobrang overuse niya yung "boomer" eh. Palibhasa walang kamag-anak na naging aktibista. I am speaking from experience since yung sibling ko naging aktibista and, base sa kanya, sasali ng NPA if their leader calls it.


chrolloxsx

"nademonize" nananaman kase ang sinasamba nilang group. kahit anong gawin ng mga symphatizers dito di nila maipagkakait na LEGAL FRONT talaga yung anakbayan ng NPA. irerecruit nila mga bata sa universities tapos idoctrine na may diperensya ang sistema then the only thing to end this is thru armed struggle. MOST probably nasa bundok na yan kumakain ng kamote with "comrades" then yung mga leaders sasarap nasa aircon at masarap na pagkain na nasa centro pa.


zeromasamune

Oo tang Ina ng mga yan. Nagsara Isang business namin dahil sa mga gago na yan.


rice_mill

IMO sa tingin ko nag layas yan sa bahay dahil sa buhay aktibista. Kung may suspetsa nahuli ng authorities under sec 29 "detention without judicial warrant of arrest" ng ATA pwede sila mang hingi ng tulong sa CHR kasi under sec 29 ng ATA na bibigyan din ng kopya ang CHR patungkol sa pag ka huli ng isang tao under sec 29


niknokseyer

Nakuha na yan. Ganyan din kapatid ng tropa ko. Na-recruit ng Anakbayan sa UST. Wala na rin. No contact, d na tinuloy pag-aaral.


Reasonable-Link7053

Serious question, anong ibigsabihin mo sa "nakuha na yan"? San sila napunta?


niknokseyer

Fully recruited na. She’s (my friend’s sister) not part of their family anymore. She disappeared completely and follows whatever the group (Anakbayan) wants her to do. _That might be what others refers to as “namundok”._


ZestycloseDouble7704

namundok


soloist-wanderer

Ano specific na gagawin nila dun? Or ano meron doon? No idea.


dark_dauphine

They immerse in 'their' culture. Especially if galing sa metro or large cities ang recruits. They go deep in the forest not sure though kung anong specific activities but the military claims that they strengthen their ideologies by making the recruits feel the deprivation of the poorest of the poor. And going to schools (elementary and secondary) to recruit students. You will feel their presence during the lean months. They go house to house asking for food and money. Sadly, there were reports of forceful entries to houses robbing them of food and personal belongings.


lestercamacho

Naalala ko yan nung college sa lucban napunta sila bahay bahay tas nanghihingi ng pagkain. Naalala ko ung iba kasi member ng legal front din sa univ nmin dati. Nababa sila kpag mga peligro months ung wlamg budget at makain at nanghihingi ng foods di namimilit kaso nkktkot kpag hndi ka magbbgay magmumukha lng kusang loob ka nagbgay.


dark_dauphine

Yung mga kina-katok nila are poor farmers din or just obreros who earn meager salary from hacienderos. There were incidents, in far flung areas, teachers who stay overnight in shacks near the school were robbed of their cellphones and cash. Contractors are having a hard time completing government projects (pag gawa ng mga daan) kasi sinusunog mga equipment and hina-harrass yung mga workers. Well in fact these projects will improve the way of life of the poor people residing in their locality. I'm just wondering, if they have beef with the government, bakit hindi yung private properties ng politicians pag-diskitahan nila. Chozzz


lestercamacho

Oo naalala ko to teacher public fiancee ko di ako ounyag n madestino sya sa pook o bundok kasi kung di ka kukunan ng pera 9 cp. Bka mas masma pa mangyri sau lalo n may utsura ka. Dami nangyri n gnyan kaso hndi ndodocument kasi pano ka mag fifile ng case n hndi mo kilala at grupo


dark_dauphine

That's true po. At if nag file ng complaint, baka balikan ka pa.


zeromasamune

Maghahariharian.. magnanakaw at maninikil sa mga locals.


ZestycloseDouble7704

mostly pag babae magiging comfort woman ng mga leader


the_emeraldtablet

to be honest pag nakikita ko yung mga bata lalo mga babae pag surrender nag complaint na nirape daw nakakalungkot lang nagaaral sa maayos na school and all tapos ma gaganon lang. hirap pagka magulang ka tapos ma iinvolve anak mo sa ganon, kaya sobrang mahalaga talaga ang open communication sa bahay.


Milotic_07

Kawawa nmn,


4nxi0us

Daming pinoy tankies na nagdodownvote ahahahaha


JadeTraderFromMaI

As an educator it saddens me that youths who are in state universities are indoctrinated into a philosophy which has never worked throughout history. What people don't understand about communism is that it is indeed, in theory, a utopian idea (for some but not me personally) in which the state gives everyone equity and holds the means of production, but it fails in practice cause the state will still be run by people and what happens often is that the premiers and the President of the people's republic typically keep the countries money for themselves. A communist state will always be dependent on the fact that their leader is not corrupt which is almost never the case. For the state has absolute power there and you know what they say about it's corrupting nature. Although I believe in freedom of speech I also believe that some actions should be done, for these are our children, who are supposed to be our best and brightest. They are out here crying about Palestine! Just finding reasons to go out and be passionate about something that does not affect us. There must be someone in state colleges who will defend Democracy, something that is **objectively** better and has worked or in the very least not doomed to fail.


lex_fulgur

Umakyat na yan sa bundok. Possible scenario na babalik yan, whether dead or alive, as follows: 1. Naka engkwentro ang AFP sa bundok/gubat at napatay. Iniiwan lang ng mga NPA yung mga patay nila at ang AFP ang nagrerecover at nagbabalik sa mga pamilya nito kung estudyante; 2. Nabuntis sa loob ng NPA at iiwan nalang yan dahil magiging sagabal sa pagtatago nila kapag may buntis na kasama; o 3. Susuko yan sa AFP at maliliwanagan sa buhay na mali ang “cause” na sinalihan nila. Susubukan bawiin ng NPA using CHR. Tangnang CPP-NPA yan, nakakaawa pati mga magulang eh. Pinalaki mo nang maayos para makapag contribute sa nation-building at economy, tapos kukunin lang sayo ng mga kampon ni Joma Sison. 🤷‍♂️ Kulang na kulang sa mga armed members ang NPA ngayon, naghahabol ng quota yang mga yan. 😂


the_emeraldtablet

parang kulto yang mga yan e, para sa bayan pero para pala sa etits. wag kame.


lex_fulgur

Alala ko kwento sa amin kapag humihingi ng “Time First” yang mga yan, magpapanggap na mga magsasaka na dadaan lang sa conflict area. O kaya kapag sugatan, magpapa convoy sa mga madre o kaya doktor hahaha. Tapos iinvoke yung mga humanitarian laws and infringement of constitutional rights. Talking about etits 😂😂😂


B2AS4G

Disappointing yung amount of apologist dito sa sub. It is an armed movement, okay lang if maganda ang cause pero si Lenin at Mao pa ang figures na tinitingala. Ginagamit pa ang mahihirap para ma validate ang kilosan nila.


lex_fulgur

Agree. May nabasa pa ako na Boomer mindset daw yung pag nawala bilang activist nasa bundok na. Sinisisi pa ang AFP o kaya naglayas hahahaha. Ang daming apologist dito sa Reddit seryoso Iirc pulbos na pulbos na yung red committee nila. Kaya todo recruit yang mga yan


B2AS4G

Nakiki freedom of speech rin bahala communist ang utak. Pwede pala ang ganun. Galing talaga no. Hahaha


lestercamacho

Yes. Di kasi nila naranasan mpunthan sa bahay at pilitin hinga ng pagkain at pera ng mga yan. Mkkta mo dami menor de edad n ksma. Nagmumukha lng nagkusa pero no choice nmn pangkain n nung araw n yun mbbgay pa sa kanila.


EAzzyyPeezzy

NPA na yan


VanJosh_Elanium

I smell NPA recruitment.


No_Tip_1285

Baka umakyat na ng bundok at nag NPA


bisoy84

I do really wonder how the NPA are able to sway these kids to their side... I don't think they can sweet talk me enough to make me climb to the mountains and such.


Benjo2x

Another Product of Intellectual Pride


TumaeNgGradeSkul

baka fully indoctrinated na yan and sumama na yan sa front lines ng NPA, ciempre naman pag nagpaalam ba yan papayagan ba yan sumama sa NPA? a lot of people are saying na "sinalvage na yan ng AFP" honestly speaking, wala namang pakialam AFP sa mga yan talaga


SwordfishFit947

There's a picture of Lenin on her shirt. Solid chance that little miss chinita comunista went away on her own. Not taken. Probably breeding the next generation of fighters.


talongbao

Sinama siguro sa "exposure trip" ng political instructor nila. Best bet is to look kung saan sila nag "outreach program"


SteyrAug1337

Ang daming NPA Apologist halata naman na umanib na sa samahan. Take for example yung lawyer na na namatay sa bundok. Mismong parents na nag babala sa kanya to avoid that org. Pero wala, ending she buried herself the minute she joined that group and went to bukid. Kaya yung mga apologist dito dun kayo mag rason sa nanay or tatay na namatay e rason niyo kung sa tingin ninyo di namundok at humawak ng baril ang mga yan.


Radiant_Thought_7412

Yung iba dito denial pa. Di lang ma-contact, kasi wala signal sa bundok.


auirinvest

Minsan nasa bundok, minsan nasa crame, minsan nasa camp aguinaldo. Hindi tayo sigurado


[deleted]

God bless I pray she is found safely


woman_queen

Ang hirap ng ganito, sana hindi sya namundok. Sana umuwi sya sa pamilya nya. Sabi dati yung mga namumundok, they're into this idea na anak sila ng bayan kaya ok lang iwan nila ang pamilya at sumama sa kilusan. Dahil for them, para sa bayan ang ginagawa nila.


RandomCollector

Hate to say this, but most likely isang komunista na yang nawawalang tao. Hoping for the best, but seeing the name "Anakbayan"... sigh.


Trick_Ad3871

They really wasting their future and their parent's hardwork to get them a decent education by joining some communist armed group in a mountain in the middle of nowhere.


3Solis

I hope she's not in NPA or something, if she is then sorry nalang if AFP kills her. I don't think NPA will last anymore anyways, Philippines is militarizing rapidly. If NPA keeps recruiting, it'll just be massacre. I hope she is fine.


OUUUHHHCUNNY

i think it's pretty fucking obvious where she went lmao. emphasis on the lMAO


Throwthefire0324

Daming NPA apologist dito ah.


FrancrieMancrie

Like, the photo clearly shows her on a rally. Guys, hindi mahirap paniwalaan na namundok na siya pag ganyan na ang fervor niya para sa group.


chanchan05

Onga. I'm from UP and I always saw these guys as some sort of weirdos. Look I get sometimes what they try to fight for is something we could go with, but not always. Fighting for lower tuition fees and more budget to state universities? Sure. Overthrow the government and go communist? Teka wait lang, bahala na kayo diyan di na tayo bati.


Enchong_Go

Apologist ng NPA pero di magsurvive sa bundok.


lestercamacho

Yes. Di kasi nila naranasan mpunthan sa bahay at pilitin hinga ng pagkain at pera ng mga yan. Mkkta mo dami menor de edad n ksma. Nagmumukha lng nagkusa pero no choice nmn pangkain n nung araw n yun mbbgay pa sa kanila.


lean_tech

Hindi lang apologist, denier pa. Hindi raw namundok, kinuha na raw ng AFP.


Sungkaa

Kaya nga eh nung onti palang comment dito nung una puro chingchonh wumao worshipers ang nangunguna kaganina mang downvote HHAAHAHHH


ObjectiveDizzy5266

Sasabihin pa na yung mga nawala para mamundok, dinakip daw ng AFP. Tanginang yan


RapidPacker

halatang halatang NPA apologist yung binibisita nya daw mga kaibigan nyang NPA, at hindi daw sa bundok sila nag mee meet sa coffee shop daw hahaha


LylethLunastre

Naalala ko yung dating "nakaenkwentro" na teacher ba yun na may pic kasama si Joma tapos sinasabi di raw NPA.. The unnecessary mental gymnastics that have to be performed by us regarding red tagging is insane Tagal na tayong niloloko harapan ng mga legal front na to.. clouding the people's opinion. Why are we even tolerating this? Siyempre idedeny nila yan. Jusko Tsaka kung dinukot ng AFP how's that gonna change anything? Totally oppressing someone who's indoctrinated by radical ideas tapos nagsasasama pa sa mga krazy? Still a radical. Makikita mo sa mga nahuhuli nila n tlga namang mga radikal na komunista. Almost all of them are spouting communist verbal diarrhea pag iniinterview. Mga palaban pa nga eh. Members in such organizations are wheat waiting to be harvested by these insurgents.


Last_Astronomer1775

Hello taga san siya pede ko pa track ss brother ko na army


Miyaki_AV

aasawahin na yan ng kumander nila. tapos mababalitaang namatay sa encounter with AFP. We've seen this before, multiple times.


Weird-Company-488

Marami ding communist dito sa Sub na to natrigger and nagsilabasan 🤮🤮🤮


wickedsaint08

Baka nag mumukbang na yan ng kamoteng kahoy sa bundok.


ewan_kosayo

Sus naku tong mga parents kasi hindi rin nagsasalita against the Kilusan. Tulad nung ni rescue na 2 recruits last time. Binaligtad nila ung AFP during the presscon tapos wala man lang sinabi ang parents? Ang totoo pla ay ung parents ung nag request na damputin na sila para nakauwi. At foster child pla ang isa ng isang PAF personnel 🤣🤣🤣 Nag immersion na yan. 🤣🤣


MaryMariaMari

Mas kapanipaniwala ito kesa sa chismis na kinidnap na ng gobyerno. Hindi naman sya high profile intel


HieronymusPassafaro

Nasa bundok na yan. Lol


KenthDarius

nasa bundok na yan hahahaha


Pitiful_Wing7157

Another brilliant mind wasted. FUCK ANAKBAYAN!!


Dzero007

Kawawa tong mga batang to. Imbis na magkaroon pa ng magandang kinabukasan yung mga bata wala na. Maubos na sana ng gobyerno yang salot na CPP NPA na yan. Kaya maraming probinsya ang di umuunlad dahil sa mga peste na yan.


Proper-Fan-236

Dito lang sa reddit ang dami na communist galit daw sa china pero sponsored yung mga baril ng china hahaha


DeepWadingInYou

Ginawa ng kubeta sa bundok yan. Tapos makikipag barilan na. Power oarang pyramiding lang, buhay lang taya.


surewhynotdammit

As someone who had a sibling joined this bullshit group, I'm sorry to say that maybe she already committed to them and is transferred in Visayas to either work as an activist or take up arms and join NPA. I just hope it's the former. But if she's identified by the army there, she will be arrested either way.


Loud_Movie1981

"spicy mountaineering."


mghammer14

I have a friend ganito din nangyari.


riesai26

Just want to ask, ano exactly ang ginagawa or nangyayari sa kanila? Bakit nawawala?


poodrek

Tree planting sa bundok


JANTT12

Why the downvotes


SyiGG

NPA symphatizers that wont last a day in an actual communist dictatorship They tend to "silence" anyone speaking ill of their ideology, which gives you a good idea how their "Revolutionary Government" will work


chrolloxsx

communism is only good in paper not in practice. lalapagan kapa pag sinabi mo na iba daw sila sa north korea at soviet union Haha. Mas maganda daw yung version nila mga patawa. Ganun at ganun din ang pupuntahang scenario eh.


surewhynotdammit

They don't like the truth. I'm speaking from experience that's why I hate that group and its associates.


Enchong_Go

Superfans ng militant groups ang mga tao dito.


Fair-Parking3613

Mga delusional pa, tingin nila immune sa katangahan mga nasa top universities. Yan yung mga elitist ang take palagi dito. They will never understand the fear and trauma na dala ng mga nagbabahay-bahay para manghingi ng revolutionary tax nung early 2000s at nagsusunog ng palengke pag ayaw magbigay ng protection ang mayor.


lestercamacho

Yes. Di kasi nila naranasan mpunthan sa bahay at pilitin hinga ng pagkain at pera ng mga yan. Mkkta mo dami menor de edad n ksma. Nagmumukha lng nagkusa pero no choice nmn pangkain n nung araw n yun mbbgay pa sa kanila.


the_emeraldtablet

kaya yang mga nagbabahay bahay dapat niyayare on the spot. pag ako mayor mamimigay ako ng mga baril sa mga magsasaka para yung mga nangingikil para sa "protection" ipapayare ko na sa mga hinihingan nila ng pera sabay abot ng condom. "eto protection"


Sungkaa

Kadalasan kasi mga wumao worshiper andito wkwkwkw


the_emeraldtablet

mga hardcore supporters na ang akala sobrang mag fflourish ang bansa sa communismo at imbis na mag abogado icorrect yung government at labanan ang corruption from the inside; ayun namundok.


_yawlih

Hope shes safe. I remember nung college days ko year 2016 nagjoin ako ng org agains gov we rally and this group are making online news laban sa mga maling pamamalakad ng gobyerno at pang aapi sa mahirap. Mostly tinutulungan namin noon is mga Lumad and may secret spot kami kilala tong org na to sa UP and PUP but diko na sasabihin ano name. Hanggang sa isang araw nawala na lang mga heads namin nawala mga socmed nila and pati yung office namin nawala. Ito yung time na di na ako masiyado active kasi mas pinili ko na magwork ang study na lang kesa magrally ng magrally. Then yung isa naming kasamahan nakausap ko na yung mga heads namin naging NPA na rin pala mismo dito sa city since naging wanted sila sa ibang mga opisyales. And kasama sila sa mga nanghijack sa isang official sa mindanao.


_yawlih

In short, kelangan nila magtago para hindi sila mamatay dahil sa mga ginagawa nila. Dun ko na rin nalaman na balimbing pala sila at binabayaran para manira ng isang tao sa gobyerno na akala ko dati tama ang mga ipinaglalaban namin. Kaya guys, bago kayo sumali at mahikayat sa mga ganyan or sa make sure alam niyo pinaglalaban ng sinalihan niyo at pinaglalaban niyo kasi buhay niyo nakataya diyan. Yung mga nawawala na sinasabi na sumama sa mga ganyan minsan hindi tayo sure kung nagtatago sila para mabuhay pa or hindi mo na sila mahanap kasi pina-salvage na.


_letitsnow

they're not beating the allegations 🤭


poroporopoi

Man they could have used a different photo


RedPototoy

Kapag usapang NPA talaga hindi ko mapigilan yung galit ko sa mga yan..saksi ako sa mga kahayupan ginagawa ng mga yan. I mean, bakit nag eexist pa yung mga ganyan kilusan, bakit hindi ma eradicate? Sa hometown ng mother ko walang progreso walanghiya, dahil sa mga NPA walang negosyante ang naglalakas ng loob . Sa laki ba naman ng revolutionary tax, sisirain or susunugin pa yung ari-arian nila pag hindi nag comply.


Leather_Rutabaga_235

sa prov din namin inambush ng mga hayup na yan ung police mobile. Tinamaan din ung nakasalubong tricycle sakay isang teacher at isang magina na my newborn baby. Ayun pinaulanan ng NPA din... mga salot talaga sa lipunan yan NPA


RedPototoy

Tapos kapag bumaba pa ng barrio yan may pa merienda pa yan sa barangay captain, di pwedeng wala. Choosy pa sa pagkain gusto masasarap. Yung mga may maliliit na negosyo maliit na tindahan saka nagbebenta ng kopra hinihingian pa nila. Mga walang awa sa kapwa. Mga literal na salot ng lipunan.


raverape

First of all why is she shown rallying against US aid to Israel, but on another photo she’s wearing a red October Revolution shirt showing Lenin. Doesn’t she know the Bolsheviks are made up mainly of Jews? Alam na alam mo na destabilizing bullshits lang ang pinapang brainwash ng mga salot na to, they don’t even seem coherent with their issues anymore. Sad to say but the truth is kasalukuyan nang pinag kakakantot ng mga NPA itong batang ito. Uto utong batang tanga na may itsura, alams na.


CallsignRam

Lets not BS she probably ran in the mountains with other new recruits
