MULING kinundena ni Pastor Apollo C. Quiboloy ang pahayag ni Senador Loren Legarda hinggil sa pagsuporta nito sa teroristang grupong CPP-NPA-NDF.
“She said it’s very difficult to know that they are our enemies. What? For 53 years, you’re a senator,” pahayag ni Pastor Apollo.
Sa kanyang programang Sounds of Worship nitong Linggo ng hapon, hinimay ng butihing Pastor Apollo ang dahilan kung bakit mariin niyang tinututulan ang senadora.
“Unequivocally, I don’t support anything that she said,” ani Pastor Apollo.
Kabilang sa mga pahayag ni Legarda na mariing tinutulan ni Pastor Apollo ay ang panukala ng senadora na i-review ang Anti-Terror Law of 2020.
“How dare you Sen. Loren? After all the debates in the Senate and this was approved and now it has a teeth to run after those terrorists killing our people for 53 years. 15,000 soldiers, policemen and military personnel plus innocent billions have been killed by this monster called the CPP-NPA and then you will review it again? What? Repeal it? Don’t ever tinker with the Anti-Terror Law because the whole Philippines will be against you,” diin ni Pastor Apollo.
“If you don’t vote in its favor, you are favoring the terrorist of again continue to kill our people, our innocent? Continue to recruit our students in schools and then radicalize them, poison their mind, send them to the mountains to be killed and to kill. I cannot believe that,” dagdag ng butihing Pastor.
Kinuwestiyon din ng butihing Pastor ang pahayag ng paghanga ng senadora sa isinusulong na konsepto ng social justice ng kalaban ng gobyerno na kadalasang ginagamit sa kanilang panlilinlang.
“Talking about social justice, you are justifying their killings, they’re destroying our economy for 53 years, their wanting to topple down this democratic government and install communist dictatorship of the proletariat. That is their main aim. Is that social justice?,” aniya pa.
“Where’s the social justice of those victims, social justice of those mothers whose children were recruited by this monster, this snake of the CPP-NPA-NDF. You don’t even know what you are talking about,” ayon kay Pastor Apollo.
Dahil dito, sinabi ng butihing Pastor na mabuti pang ibalik na lang ng senadora ang kanyang titulong colonel sa AFP.
“Please take off your uniform, Senator Legarda. You are not with us. Take off that uniform, give it back to the AFP,” mungkahi ni Pastor Apollo.
Binigyang-diin din ni Pastor Apollo na ang tunay na pahirap sa bayan ay ang CPP-NPA-NDF, bagay na taliwas sa naging pahayag ni Legarda.
“Wherever the communist are, there is extreme poverty. How dare you say they are lifting our people from poverty for decades? They are not only destroying us but wherever they are there is extreme poverty and there is extreme terrorism and there is extreme fear in people’s hearts wherever they go because they are killing wantonly the people, the innocent ones,” ayon pa ni Pastor Apollo.
Binigyang-diin ni Pastor Apollo na walang maidudulot na maganda ang peace talks sa pagitan ng rebeldeng grupo dahil ang nais lamang ng CPP-NPA-NDF ay pabagsakin ang gobyerno.
“You know the endgame of the CPP-NPA-NDF, topple down this democratically elected government and install a communist dictatorship in our country. That is the endgame whatever you do. Peace talks here, peace talks there, it’s nothing. It’s just strengthening them. But their main goal and main aim is just to disseminate, topple down this democratically elected government called the Republic of the Philippines and install a communist dictatorship of the Proletariat headed by Joma Sison,” ayon kay Pastor Apollo.
Sinang-ayunan din ni Pastor Apollo ang pahayag ni Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Juan Ponce Enrile laban kay Sen. Legarda.
“Sabi niya, “Pasensya ka na Loren, sa palagay ko ay hindi mo naintindihan ang doktrina ng Marxism na itinuro ni Lenin. Alam mo, ang National Democratic Front ay parang tali sa leeg yan na gagamitin ni Joma Sison para ipambitay sa taumbayan.” Napakaliwanag, salamat Manong Enrile, kaya hanggang ngayon buhay ka pa sapagkat kailangan ka pa ng ating bayan para magpaliwanag tulad nito. Hindi niya alam, senadora siya,” ani Pastor Apollo.
Samantala, kaugnay naman sa pagbanggit ni Legarda sa Comprehensive Agreement on Socio-Economic Reforms (CASER), na isang programang pang-ekonomiya ng CPP-NPA-NDF na nakabatay sa pagwasak ng mga umiiral na batas sa bansa upang isulong ang sosyalismo hanggang maitatag ang komunistang pamamahala, ay mariing tinutulan ni Pastor Apollo ang ideyang ito.
“You know what this CASER is? It’s abolishing the AFP and legitimizing the NPA. Confiscate all the lands of the landlords or all those who have lands. Distribute it, if you don’t agree, they kill you. And then, abolish the Armed Forces of the Philippines and legitimize the NPA. They will be the one to distribute the lands, they will be commissioned,” paliwanag ng butihing Pastor.
Nakapaloob sa isinusulong na peace ng CPP-NPA-NDF ang CASER.
Kasunod nito’y, ibinahagi rin ng butihing Pastor ang kanyang pagsuporta sa mga pahayag kaugnay sa CASER ng kanyang itinuturing na kaibigan sa pamahalaan na tumitindig para sa mamamayang Pilipino kabilang na ang dating National Security Adviser na si Ret. General Hermogenes Esperon, Jr. at Presidential Peace Adviser Carlito Galvez Jr.
“Sabi ni Gen. Esperon, “At first glance, it may appear to be pro-masses as it promises to benefit the majority, if not all, but if we look at it closely, the duplicitous character and self-interest of the communist terrorist groups (CTG) becomes evident as the provisions do not directly reflect the best interest the nation, but their own,” ani Pastor Apollo.
“A good friend also, Presidential Peace Adviser Carlito J. Galvez Jr., former chief of staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines said, we do not need CASER. The Filipino people have no need of the proposed Comprehensive Agrarian on Social Economic Reforms or CASER whose passage is being aggressively pushed by the Communist Party of the Philippines, New People’s Army and national Democratic Front of the Philippines according to Presidential Peace Adviser Carlito J. Galvez Jr……Tayong lahat kasama sila,” dagdag ng butihing Pastor.
Bilang pagpapakita ng pagkondena, pinunit mismo ni Pastor Apollo sa harap ng kanyang kongregasyon ang isinusulong na CASER ng CPP-NPA-NDF.
Ani Pastor Apollo kung sinabi lang sana noon ni Legarda ang kanyang malinaw na katayuan hinggil sa CPP-NPA-NDF, ay tiyak na hindi ito mananalo ngayon. Masakit para kay Pastor Apollo at ng taumbayan na nagtraydor ang senadora sa mandato nito.
“You won because we thought you are genuine, we thought you are for us, the Filipino people. We thought that you are for our democratic system where you belong. And you are an officer of the reserve force of the Armed Forces of the Philippines; we thought you are with us. But that is the deception you did, it’s a betrayal. It hurts, it hurts,” ayon pa sa butihing Pastor.
Dagdag pa ni Pastor Apollo dahil sa pagtraydor ni Sen. Legarda ay wala ng Pilipinong maniniwala nito.
“And then all of a sudden you stood up for them while we are destroying them because they are the salot of this country. What do you think of us? Did you respect me, did you respect all of us? You did not, so we will in turn not respect you also. Please Loren (Legarda), go with them because you’ve shown your true colors. It’s too late for you to repent. Bakit? Why did I say it’s too late for you to change and repent? Because no people will believe you anymore,” ayon kay Pastor Apollo.
Samantala, mayroong tanong ang butihing Pastor sa PTV-4, ang government-owned station sa bansa, kasunod ng ulat na kanyang natanggap na isang nagtatrabaho sa nasabing istasyon ang kumausap kay Legarda bago sa kanyang privilege speech.
“Maybe some personnel of the PTV-4 or PTV-4 crew or PTV-4 management are listening to what I’m saying. Is it true? We have received reports she was briefed about CASER. So if this is true then PTV-4 is infiltrated by communists and PTV-4 you are supposed to be with the government of the Republic of the Philippines. You are a government-own broadcast TV station. You should be the mouthpiece of the government and the government stance against this CPP-NPA-NDF. If that is true,” ani Pastor Apollo.
Dito, muling inihayag ni Pastor Apollo ang dahilan kung bakit kailanman ay hindi matutupad ang peace talk na iniaalok ng teroristang grupo, kasunod ng balita na kanyang natanggap na may ilang opisyal na hinihimok umano si Pangulong Bongbong Marcos upang magpadala ng envoy sa Netherlands at nais buksan muli ang usaping pangkapayapaan sa pagitan ng gobyerno at ng rebeldeng grupo.
Samantala, pinasalamatan naman ni Pastor Apollo ang lahat ng nga taong may tunay na pagmamahal sa bansa at walang takot na kumakalaban sa CPP-NPA-NDF.
“So, we thank God for, like Manong Enrile. We thank God for people like Senator Tolentino, Senator Bato. We thank people like Rigoberto Tiglao, a former communist. We thank people like them. And we thank people like General Esperon. We thank people like Dr. Lorraine Badoy, Bro. Eric and all the military men who are with us in this crusade against the salot ng bayan,” ani Pastor Apollo.
Hindi malilimutan ni Pastor Apollo ang lahat ng kanyang naging karanasan mula pa noon kung gaano kasama ang CPP-NPA-NDF.
Kaya hindi magbabago kailanman ang kanyang katayuan laban sa teroristang grupo hanggang sa tuluyan na itong mawala sa bansa.
“Sabi nga ni President Duterte, ‘My God, I hate drugs!’ Ako naman, ‘My God, I hate the CPP-NPA-NDF!’ Kung hindi magsisisi iyan si Joma Sison, sapagkat beyond redemption na rin siguro ang taong iyan, mamamatay iyan, he has a special place in hell for making the Philippines like a hell. He made the Philippines like a hell. Look at what they are doing, ambush there, ambush here. They’re trying to destroy our economy. Look at those businesses, if they don’t give what they call revolutionary tax—I don’t call it revolutionary tax, I call it extortion—if you don’t give, they’ll burn your dump trucks, they’ll burn your bulldozers, they’ll burn your buildings just for the sake of extortion. For 53 years they’ve been doing that. So, the Filipino people have spoken and I am here to state unequivocally my stand against the CPP-NPA-NDF. It does not change at all until they are phased off from the face of this country. We don’t want to see one communist here survive,” pahayag ni Pastor Apollo.
“You, who are in government…Get out. You are snakes,” aniya pa.
May panawagan din si Pastor Apollo sa taumbayan na huwag nang iboto ang mga kandidato na may kaugnayan sa teroristang grupong CPP-NPA-NDF.
“Kailangan sa susunod mga kababayan ko, bago tayo bumoto ng sino mang nagpapaboto sa atin, suriin muna nating mabuti kung ano ang tayo nila sa kanilang buhay. Kung sila ba ay kampi sa CPP-NPA-NDF, kung sila ba’y may kaugnayan, o sila ba’y may mga kamag-anak o sila ba ang simpatiya nila nandoon, o sila ba’y mga fence-sitter, huwag nating iboto iyan,” ayon kay Pastor Apollo.
