Best in Deception goes to Karapatan Karapatan, an organization moonlighting as a Human Rights organization but in truth and in fact, a front organization of the CPP-NPA-NDF, a declared terrorist organization by this country and the rest of the world, including the European Union has its secretary general awarded by the France and German embassies for alleged work on human rights. The celebration of actual works in promotion of human rights is but right to be honored, no doubt. To be sure, the award by the said embassies is made in good faith, the recipient is just an embarassment. Their shameless positioning for human rights awards is part and parcel of their modus operandi of hiding in plain sight. Appearing to be legitimate social workers but predatory wolves in sheep's clothing. Karapatan is a front of the most vicious human rights abusers of this country, the CPP-NPA-NDF, our version of Pol Pots regime. Genelyn Dichoso, regional secretary-general of Karapatan for many years, surrendered this year. She testified that their work as Karapatan 'human rights workers' includes recruitment of fighters for the CPP-NPA-NDF's armed wing. Her conscience led her to surrender as her recruits ended up dead. Her testimony was made under oath, open to any challenge. Alex Pacalda and Glendhyl Malabanan, Karapatan workers, both were arrested as NPA combatants, terrorizing the countryside. There was a great howl of protest that they are just human rights workers, but evidence presented in court, including videos of them in combat trainings, irrefutably demolished their claim as human rights worker. Honey Suazo and Fred Cana, Karapatan 'human rights workers' whose task is to bail out arrested top npa leaders including Zlady "Ka Jinggoy" Canete and Hernando "Ka Adoy" Llorente. Their bail documents are public records. Recently, the Armed Forces Forces filed before the Commission on Human Rights documents showing more 1600 of human rights abuses of the CPP-NPA-NDF, including rape, murder, arson, and recruitment of child soldiers. A litany of the worst crimes of humanity. The NTF-ELCAC Legal Cluster inventoried more than a thousand live criminal cases perpetrated by the CPP-NPA-NDF, and the same litany of crimes, rape, murder, arson, serious physical injuries and so on, pending before our judicial processes. Sambayanan, an organization of former rebels identified Karapatan as one of the CPP-NPA-NDF front organizations. They made such testimony in congressional inquiries, under oath. No cases of perjury were filed against them. Those who desire genuine peace for this country, our works while many and ardous, to be silent is not one of them. Karapatan and like organization have betrayed the People and brought countless death before the door of our Republic. This is the truth, and the truth does not need an award to be true.
