NPA Punishes Military Asset And Exploitative Landlord In Negros Occidental Province

Based on the ruling of the revolutionary people’s court, death punishment was meted out towards Arnie “Pane” Tuparan, 47 years old, past 7:00 pm last November 14 in her household in Sitio Taytay 2, Barangay Carabalan, Himamaylan City, Negros Occidental Province. Four short firearms and a laptop were seized from her possession.

The action was conducted by a unit of the Romeo Nanta Command-New People’s Army (RNC-NPA) of the South Central Negros Guerrilla Front. The revolutionary court’s decision hailed from the strong basis that Tuparan was an adamant AFP intel asset who actively searched for the NPA in the area. She guided military troops in a strike operation last 2023 in Sitio Palosais, Barangay Mahalang, Himamaylan City. The targeted unit was able to act swiftly and retreat without an armed encounter with the enemy.

Aside from this, Tuparan was actively subscribing to the failed and corrupt E-CLIP of the NTF-ELCAC through forcing over 40 residents of hinterland sitios in Barangay Carabalan to surrender despite being merely civilians. She threatened those suspected of having connections with the revolutionary movement, red-tag them, and eventually turned them over to the military as surrenderees to profit from the cash grants and subsidies from the fake program of the previous US-Duterte and current US-Marcos II regime.

Tuparan also abused her position as a forest guard through preventing and confiscating charcoal products of the people. She also prevented chainsawing of wood for houses and huts. She also demanded toll fees for passing trucks on the road near her house. She also utilized her position to grab land from farmers in the area.

Meanwhile, in the same barangay, Red fighters warned and disarmed Arnel Recaido, 48 years old, a resident of Sitio Bulod, for acting as a guide during military operations, threatening and red-tagging residents in the area. A short firearm was confiscated during the operation.

This action is grounded from the people’s demands for justice for the victims of enforced surrenders, extortion, land-grabbing, and confiscation of products and wood for housing. The punishments also serve as warning for traitors of the revolution and military assets who continue to attack innocent people in exchange of money from the reactionary government. The RNC-NPA will not hesitate to act based on revolutionary justice to those proven with crimes against the people and the revolution. Revolutionary violence will be felt only by the enemies and bad elements who promote exploitation and oppression of the ruling class.
