The communists’ power couple

By Alexis Romero (The Philippine Star) | Updated March 24, 2014 - 12:00am

MANILA, Philippines - Benito and Wilma Tiamzon are in charge of the communist movement while their founding chairman lives in exile in the Netherlands.

The couple studied at the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City. Benito took up Chemical Engineering and History.

Military records show that Benito, 63, is the chairman of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and head of its central executive committee.

Wilma Tiamzon is 61 years old and the military tags her as CPP secretary-general and member of the central executive committee.

The military said Benito was the secretary, Eastern Visayas regional party committee in 1975, and that he was responsible for the massacre of civilians in Inopacan, Leyte in 1985.

He is calling the shots for almost all major party activities, while Jose Ma. Sison is in exile abroad, the military added.

The military said Wilma was previously CPP National Peasant Commission secretary, CPP finance officer, and Regional Trade Union Bureau executive member.

The Tiamzons were arrested in Aloguinsan, Cebu on March 22 for 15 counts of murder.

They are accused of killing 15 civilians in Inopacan in 1985. The bodies were discovered in a mass grave in 2006.

The case was originally filed with the Regional Trial Court in Hilongos, Leyte, but it has been transferred to Manila RTC Branch 32.

The couple will be taken to the Department of Justice (DOJ) in Manila for inquest.

The military said Wilma was previously arrested on Oct. 4, 1989, but that she escaped on Dec. 25 that same year from Camp Crame.

The CPP spent P2.5 million for her escape, the military added.

The Tiamzons have a daughter, the military said.

They idolize Mao but they don't even know who Chairman Mao is. They are more like Kim Jung Il na sinisipa na ngayon ng mga remnants ni Mao.

Mao did more damage to China. It was Deng and opening of chinese market that started china's economic growth. I do not really understand some people still subscribe to communism.

CPP leaders' tipster to get P5.6M

By Alexis Romero (philstar.com) | Updated March 25, 2014 - 7:26pm

MANILA, Philippines - At least P5.6-million in reward money awaits the tipster who provided information that led to the capture of communist leaders Benito and Wilma Tiamzon.

Armed Forces public affairs chief Lt. Col. Ramon Zagala said the board tasked to give rewards to tipsters would soon meet to thresh out the details related to the giving of the bounty.

“We still have to wait until the board meets but most definitely there will be a reward to be given for the information,” Zagala said.

“I do not have the updated figures yet but it (reward) will be at least P5.6-million,” he added.

Zagala declined to provide information about the tipster, citing security reasons.

“I’m not sure if there are other (informants),” he said.

Headlines ( Article MRec ), pagematch: 1, sectionmatch: 1
The grant of rewards to tipsters is provided under the Joint Circular 2006-1 of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine National Police.

The reward system is being implemented by the Joint Rewards Valuation Committee to encourage the public to join the drive against insurgency and terrorism.

Zagala said the tip relayed by the informant was valuable because locating the Tiamzons has been a challenge.

“The informant must truly believe in the cause of the government and they will be taking risks on our behalf. I want you to know that the motivation of any informant to the government is not monetary alone,” he said.

“They (tipsters) are convinced that the information they will give will be beneficial, for the good of everyone and monetary reward is a way for us to ensure that the one who will give us the information will be secured.”

Benito and Wilma Tiamzon and five other communist rebels were nabbed by security forces on Saturday at around 3:15 p.m. in Barangay Zaragosa, in Aloguinsan, Cebu.

The Tiamzons are facing 15 counts of murder and were arrested by virtue of a warrant issued by a regional trial court in Leyte.

Benito is the chairman of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) while his wife Wilma is the group’s secretary-general.

Security officials claimed the arrest of the Tiamzons would result in a leadership vacuum in the rebel movement but the CPP belied this, saying it has an orderly succession system.

not only that. joma sison was released during tita cory's time (on humanitarian grounds) w/ nothing in return. no assurance of peace nor an order to stand down on mulchting from the reds were uttered by the founder of the communist party of the philippines much to her chagrin

NPA collects P42M 'taxes' in North Cotabato

KIDAPAWAN CITY – The New Peoples’ Army (NPA) collected over P42 million worth of "revolutionary taxes" from traders, politicians, and villagers in the second district of North Cotabato, a top military official said.
Lt. Col. Noli Vinluan, commander of the 57th Infantry Battalion, disclosed this during the regular meeting of the City Peace and Order Council recently held here.
Vinluan said that of the amount, P33.8 million were collected from traders, farmers, and residents.
A farmer, for example, is being collected 50 cents for every rubber tree planted in his lot, the military official said.
They have also collected around P8.5 million permit to campaign fees from politicians during the May 2013 elections.
Vinluan used as basis in his report to the CPOC the documents they confiscated in a raid conducted in March this year in one of the NPA’s satellite bases at Barangay New Cebu in President Roxas, North Cotabato.
“These documents were also validated by our military’s intelligence unit,” he said.
He also cited complaints from several businessmen and rubber traders who claimed that the NPAs collected revolutionary taxes from them.
“These traders have long sought help from law enforcers to stop these rebels from exacting money from them. They also asked help from the Army,” said Vinluan.
On March 11, Vinluan led the raid in one of the NPAs’ lairs at Barangay New Cebu, President Roxas where they recovered several firearms, ammunition, mobile phones, and documents, which looked like ‘payroll’ and ‘collection statements’, and subversive materials.
“The documents were proof that the NPAs, though for several times they denied it, were involved in extortion and other illegal activities,” said the colonel.
