REF: A. 05 MANILA 5346 
     B. 05 MANILA 5988 
 
1.  Summary:  Since Mission's last message dated November 15, 
2005, attacks on left-wing activists have continued unabated, 
with seventeen killed and one wounded.  Some observers allege 
the Arroyo Administration, Philippine National Police, and 
the Armed Forces of the Philippines are behind the killings, 
a charge all categorically deny.  The targeted individuals 
all belonged to left-wing organizations that are often 
associated with the Communist Party of the Philippines and 
its armed wing, the New People's Army.  As Communist attacks 
on Philippine military and police installations continue, so 
does the level of violence against these leftist groups. 
Mission continues to monitor events and urge the Arroyo 
Administration to investigate each case thoroughly, with the 
goal of bringing the perpetrators to justice.

Five Attacks in March Alone 
--------------------------- 
 
2.  Since Mission's last message dated November 15, 2005, 
attacks on left-wing activists have continued unabated.  The 
month of March alone has seen five attacks, specifically: 
 
-- On March 7, peasant leader Nestor Aranqui was shot and 
killed in a public market by unidentified gunmen.  Aranqui 
was a council member of HUMABOL (Farmer's Association of 
Bohol). HUMABOL is linked to the militant farmer's group 
"Peasant Movement of the Philippines." 
 
-- On March 9, an unidentified gunman riding a motorcycle 
shot and killed Crisanto "Ka Santi" Teodoro, chairman of the 
left-wing political party Bagong Alysansang Makabayan in 
Malolos, Bulacan. 
 
-- On March 17, unidentified gunmen killed Tirso Cruz, a 
member of the board of directors of the United Luisita 
Worker's Union (ULWU) and coordinator of the Anakpawis 
(Toiling Masses) party-list organization in Hacienda Luisita, 
Tarlac.  Cruz had led the ULWU in strikes against the 
management of the Hacienda Luisita sugar plantation and more 
recently in protests against the presence of Armed Forces of 
the Philippines (AFP) troops in the plantation.  Cruz is the 
second leader of the sugar worker's union to be killed since 
October 2005 (Ref B). 
 
-- On March 19, an unidentified gunman shot and killed Cris 
Hugo, a 20-year old journalism student and coordinator for 
the League of Filipino Students (LFS) in the Bicol region. 
He is the second youth activist killed this year, following 
the death of Audie Lucero of Youth for Nationalism Democracy 
(YND), who was killed February 13 in Abucay, Bulacan. 
 
-- On March 20, Amante Abelon, coordinator of Anakpawis in 
Zambales, was shot multiple times in an ambush that took the 
lives of both his wife and 5 year-old son.  Abelon is still 
hospitalized and, according to press reports, has identified 
at least one of his attackers as an AFP intelligence agent. 
 
-------------- 
The Blame Game 
-------------- 
 
3.  Leftist organizations continue to blame elements of the 
GRP, especially the police and the AFP, for carrying out the 
attacks.  Increasingly, critics are pointing to Major General 
Jovito Palparan Jr., the commander of the 7th Infantry 
Division in Central Luzon, who has been accused of human 
rights abuses in the past (though such allegations have never 
been proven).  Palparan, who was recently awarded the 
Philippine Distinguished Service Star for meritorious actions 
as a division commander in Luzon and Samar, has dismissed 
allegations linking him to any extra-judicial killings, 
stating, "Those are all just propaganda to destroy the image 
of the government."  The AFP has challenged leftist groups to 
go to court to prove their allegations. 
 
4.  The GRP has denounced the attacks and vowed to bring 
those responsible to justice.  Malacanang spokesman Secretary 
Ignacio Bunye, Jr. stated on March 22 that, "There is a 
standing order for the Philippine National Police (PNP) to 
act on these killings of militant leaders, and to identify 
and arrest the culprits.  We cannot allow this murder trend 
to undermine peace and order."

Comment

5.  Mission continues to urge the GRP to investigate each 
killing thoroughly.  However, expectations that this new wave 
of attacks will be halted -- or those responsible brought to 
justice -- are low.  NPA attacks on both the AFP and PNP have 
increased in recent months, with NPA spokesman Gregorio "Ka 
Roger" Rosal telling the press he now hopes to see one attack 
per day.  The escalating level of violence only highlights 
the severe problems the Arroyo Administration faces in 
dealing with leftist groups and the Communist insurgency.
