The NTF ELCAC lauds the neutralization of George Madlos/Ka Oris, commander and spokesperson of the NPA’s National Operations Command and Spokesperson of the National Democratic Front (NDF) in Mindanao and most wanted CPP NPA NDF leader.
We do not rejoice that a Filipino was killed, yet again, by fellow Filipinos.
Nor do we rejoice that superior military action was what it took to stop this man from hurting our people. Not a peaceful dialogue between brothers, but a most decisive show of force in neutralizing a butcher who was directly responsible for so much death and destruction.
Indeed Ka Oris had blood dripping off his hands at the countless crimes against humanity he himself strategized and implemented.
He also played a lead role in the recruitment and radicalization of the helpless, the most gullible among us, mutating them into violent extremists of the NPA that brought them deeper into poverty or ended their lives.
Farmers, fisherfolk, our indigenous brothers and sisters, our children, the urban poor was the well upon which George Madlos drew fresh blood to perpetuate their unwinnable war that has ended the lives of countless Filipinos and that has obstructed our country’s march to progress.
What we rejoice in is that now this terrorist who was a cut above all terrorists can no longer harm the Filipino people. And that his death will send the clear signal to those who persist in the futility of fighting government that the only sensible option left for them is to lay down their arms peacefully and rejoin civil society.
We hope Ka Oris brings to his grave the delusions of the terrorist CPP NPA NDF that they can ever hope to win their senseless war fueled by an obsolete and inhumane ideology more so when they are fighting a people galvanized in fierce rejection of it and in defense of the Republic.
Our profound gratitude to the Armed Forces of the Philippines- particularly the men and women of the 403rd Infantry Brigade under Philippine Army’s 4th Infantry Division (4ID) under MGen Romeo Brawner- real defenders and protectors of our people for once again putting us out of harm’s way.
They who fought this lonely war by themselves and who held our country safely in their arms with no thought for their own personal safety- until this singular President created the National Task Force ELCAC so that now the Filipino people stand United with them in finally ending this bloody chapter in our Nation’s history .
The sweet peace that has long eluded us is finally at arm’s reach.
George Madlos, butcher and madman, communist terrorist and violent extremist is no more.
Mabuhay ang Sandatahang Pilipinas!
Mabuhay ang mahal nating Inang Bayan!
