Sison: NPA Could Kill 1 Soldier Every Day

Exiled terrorist leader Jose Maria Sison delivered a new bluffing threat telling the government anf public that his terrorist arm, the New People’s Army (NPA) could kill at least one soldier a day if they wish to.

Sison, who tagged Rafael Baylosis’ arrest as “extremely provocative,” warned that communist guerrillas were capable of killing one soldier a day or more than 500 troopers a month across the country.

“As NDFP chief political consultant, I advise the NDFP to recommend to the CPP and NPA to respect the Jasig (Joint Agreement on Safety and Immunity Guarantees) as a solemn agreement that protects the negotiating personnel of both the NDFP and GRP (Government of the Republic of the Philippines),” Sison said in statement issued from his base in Utrecht, the Netherlands, on Sunday.

“The NPA in 17 regions has actually the capacity of knocking out at least one AFP soldier every day per region. That eliminates at least 510 enemy troops or some five companies every month nationwide,” he said.

He added: “That translates to the elimination of some 60 companies or 20 basic battalions every year.”
Sison said the NPA had the advantage of being able to launch ambushes and raids by surprise.

On Saturday, leftist solon Anakpawis Rep. Ariel Casilao raised the warning that the arrest of Baylosis might prompt the communist guerrillas to retaliate and also capture government peace negotiators and consultants.

Sison said Casilao’s warning “is honest and well-intentioned.” “He is actually pressing Duterte to respect the Jasig,” Sison said.
