CAMP GENERAL EMILIO AGUINALDO, Quezon City – In an effort to mitigate the effects of climate change and solving the problem of high gaseous emissions in National Capital Region (NCR), the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), through its Civil Relations Services (CRS), conducted the soft launching of the “Race to 1,000,000 Seedlings” today (December 7) at the Climate Change Summit in Camp General Emilio Aguinaldo’s AFP Theater. The “Race to 1,000,000 Seedlings” will be formally launched on January 2016.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Lieutenant Colonel Marlowe Patria, Group Commander of 7th Civil Relations Group (CRG), said that the effort of the AFP as lead convenor was to encourage people to participate in the creation of one million seedlings that would be planted in available spots around NCR.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Aside from this, the Race for 1,000,000 Seedlings is also meant to instill in the minds of participants that they are making a difference with every seed they plant and grow. He said this is the most important objective of the project since it seeks the result of turning every participant into an advocate of environmental protection and preservation.<br />
“We want the advocacy to start from every home where the awareness for us to mitigate the effects of climate change will be instilled not only on the elders but more importantly to the youngsters who shall carry on the advocacy to future generations,” Brigadier General Joselito Kakilala, Commander of CRS AFP, said.<br />
“We would like to make the participants remember every time they pot a seed or plant a seedling that everyone should pitch in what they can in helping preserve our environment,” he said<br />

He explained that NCR was chosen as the target area of the project since it is the region which experiences most pollution in the Philippines owing to its large volume of vehicles which emits huge amounts of pollutants every day.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
“This project also aims for participants to make it a habit to always save the seeds of fruits they eat. We look forward to a future when every resident living in NCR would always plant seeds of fruits they eat and reusing plastic bags as polybags,” he said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Patria explained that the project will involve encouraging individuals to take part in creating seedlings from fruit seeds in their homes in a span of six months. He said the project will employ the use of social media, particularly Facebook, in spreading the word and gathering participants who would share their experiences through videos and photographs.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
After six months, when a million seedlings were already created by participants in their homes or gathered in Camp Aguinaldo, the participants and stakeholders will proceed to plant these seedlings in vacant lots or areas specified by DENR.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
From the sixth month onwards, the project will then shift to monitoring of the planted seedlings to ensure that there will be one million live trees added to NCR’s already thinning tree cover. The six months of the project, referred to as the first phase, will last until July of 2016. The next six months after that, referred to as the second phase, will be used for tree planting and growing.</div>

He added that the AFP has already tapped partners and stakeholders, including the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and other government agencies, to ensure the success of the project. Among partners tapped for the project are Rappler, Teach Peace Build Peace Organization, HERO Foundation, Assumption School, Smart Telecommunications, Sagip Kalikasan Foundation, Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP) and many others.</div>

BANCASI, Butuan City – The City of Butuan was filled with sadness, anguish and pain when thousand Lumads from different tribes in Caraga and people from different walks of life staged indignation march and rally at 1pm today, October 27, 2015, days after the NPA admitted the crime of brutally killing Mayor Dario Otaza <span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">and his son Daryl.</span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px;">
“Hustisya! Hustisya! Para kang Mayor Otaza, sa iyang anak og sa tanang Lumad nga gipatay sa mga NPA(Justice! Justice! For Mayor Otaza, his son and to all Lumad killed by the NPA). Kami ang tinuod nga Lumad, dungga kami. Dungga ang amoang tinuod nga kahimtang sa mapahimuslanon og madaogdaogong NPA. Ihunong na ninyo (NPA) ang pag patay og pag pangilad sa mga Lumad. (We are the legitimate Lumads, hear our voice. Hear our cry over NPA’s tyranny and oppression. NPA, stop killing and deceiving Lumads).” Cried by thousand protesters filled with anger over NPA Lumad killings.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Said rally also dubbed as “Anti-Violence Assembly” in Butuan City, is their (Lumads) way of airing their real situation over the Maoist-Terrorist NPA.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Ralliests walked over the heart of Butuan City and went to Guingona Park, the area for them to voice out their anguish over the NPA atrocities and the call to end violence.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Datu Payad Sangkuan Rey Cervantes, chair of Caraga Regional Council for the Indigenous People and president of Sulong Katutubo, have been very emotional during his speech. He felt so much pain for the loss of his dear friend Mayor Otaza whom he considered as their icon for peace and democracy for freeing his town of insurgency menace.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Datu Payad said, “Mayor, kung asa man ka karon, salamat sa tanan! Giluwas nimo ang imong mga tawo sa kamot sa mga nagharing NPA. Among lauman nga magpadayon ang imong paghatag ug maayong kaugmaon sa imong Katawhan.” (Mayor, wherever you are right now, thank you for everything! You freed your people on the hands of the NPA. We promise that your dream of giving better future for your people will continue).</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Meanwhile, five other tribal leaders from different tribal affiliation including a former NPA commander, Julieto Canoy, who has been with the armed struggle for 31 years, also denounced NPA atrocities. They described the NPA’s kangaroo court as brutal and inhumane. They said in ‘bisaya’ language that the NPA reasons don’t give them permission to kill. Only God knows when to take lives. They (NPA) should face the law.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
The activity ended after offering a solemn prayer and lighting of candle in memory of all Lumads killed by the NPA. </div>

<b>CHILD WARRIORS</b>. Young children are recruited into the New People's Army through the community learning centers which are established inside the ancestral domain. DEPED has not given any accreditation to MISFI or ALCADEV which are operating IP schools inside the ancestral domain.

Addressing one of the major issues that usually deters interested applicants
from entering the Academy, PMA has made a firm stand on its policy against
maltreatment in the Cadet Corps, Armed Forces of the Philippines (CCAFP). PMA
advocates “Zero Tolerance to Maltreatment”. The Academy is aggressively
implementing a “NO-MALTREATMENT POLICY” among the cadets. PMA adheres to the
respect of human rights, and observance of the principles of International

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">THE Philippines on Monday slammed China’s massive reclamation activities which are causing irreversible and widespread damage to the biodiversity and ecological balance of the South China Sea and West Philippine Sea. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“China’s massive reclamation activities are causing irreversible and widespread damage to the biodiversity and ecological balance of the South China Sea/West Philippine Sea,” Jose said.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He also accused China of tolerating environmentally harmful methods among its fishermen in Scarborough Shoal, a rich fishing ground that it has controlled since 2012, following a tense maritime standoff with the Philippines.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Satellite photos from the US-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) released last week also showed a flotilla of Chinese vessels dredging sand onto Mischief Reef -- which is claimed by Manila.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jose said this highlighted the speed of China’s massive reclamation which threatens to dilute rival claims of smaller governments like the Philippines.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On Monday he raised alarm over his Chinese counterpart, Hua Chunying’s, comments last week saying the reclamation would serve Beijing’s military and defence needs.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Such statements by China only serve to raise the spectre of increasing militarisation and threaten peace and stability in the region,” he said.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Philippines maintains that China’s claim to almost the entire South China Sea, based on its nine-dash-line map, is illegal, he added.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“We call on China to stop the reclamation activities and to be mindful of its responsibilities as a claimant state and an important member of the international community.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin also said Beijing’s massive reclamation works have huge effects on security in the Asia Pacific region.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“That has a big effect on regional security,” Gazmin told reporters at Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City on Monday. “The region will be affected in terms of freedom of navigation, freedom of air space.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“We are worried and we continue to stick to our initial reaction which is to apply the rule of law,” Gazmin added.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Meanwhile, two members of the left-leaning Makabayan Bloc welcomed the growing international support the Philippines is gaining against China’s reclamation activities.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bayan Muna Reps. Neri Colmenares and Carlos Zarate said China should stop its reclamation activities now and instead go to the international tribunal hearing the matter if indeed they have the legal basis and evidence to do so.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“As it is China’s expansionist policy based on its 9-dash line theory is without legal, historical and moral basis,” Colmenares, a House Deputy Minority Leader, said.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Every Filipino should defend our territory and exclusive economic zones and Pres. Aquino should fortify our positions in the area to counter China’s aggressive acts,” Colmenares added.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Zarate, for his part, said United States President Barack Obama was correct when the latter said China’s expansion is a calculated response.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nevertheless, Zarate said the US would not risk a war with China because its economy would collapse without China.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“The US owes China at least US$ 1.28 trillion and has a total of US$579 billion in trade with China, compared to only US$17.6 billion with the Philippines,” Zarate said.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“All the US would do is posture that it would defend the Philippines but it will not. That is the hard and cold reality, so it is best that we build our strength and rely on our own resolve with the help of the international community to defend our sovereignty rather than enter into lopsided deals like the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA) and the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA),” Zarate added.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">PHOTO FROM 6TH INFANTRY DIVISION</i></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
It was the 10th night of the all-out offensive in Maguindanao province and Cpl. Daniel Pajarilla and his unit were in a defensive position at a tactical command post in the village of Madia in Datu Saudi Ampatuan town.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
The sound of gunfire was getting closer and the tension was visible in the soldiers’ sweat.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
An explosion hit their position, forcing Pajarilla to jump and then crawl under a truck for cover.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Like the rest of his team, Pajarilla opened fire, aiming at members of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) who were advancing.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
He could barely move, however. A sharp and burning pain in his stomach and leg made him immobile, according to Pajarilla in an interview at his hospital bed.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
All Pajarilla could do was shout for help.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Two other members of Pajarilla’s team were wounded, including a junior officer who was hit by an explosive while opening the hatch of an armored vehicle.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
In the ambulance, Pajarilla was overcome by a single thought: “I need to be alive for my daughter.” His daughter, Quincy, 6, is sick with a rare blood disease.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Quincy was diagnosed with Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) three years ago.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
ITP is a rare condition characterized by a low platelet count resulting in bruising and bleeding.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
The cause and cure for ITP are still undetermined.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Despite the disease, however, Quincy excelled in class, making it to the top of her Grade 1 class and winning three awards in her school in Lebak town, Sultan Kudarat province—best in English, best in science and best in math.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Quincy and her mother, Mary Lanie, quickly proceeded to the medical facility at the 6th Infantry Division in Datu Odin Sinsuat town, Maguindanao, where Pajarilla had been taken for treatment.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Seeing her father writhe in pain, Quincy jumped to hug him to comfort the wounded soldier.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
On March 7, a day after Pajarilla was wounded, he was airlifted to V. Luna Medical Center in Quezon City, separating him from his wife and child.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Mary Lanie and Quincy could only worry.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Soldiers and their families are all too well aware of the risks of being in the battlefield. Getting killed is part of the job.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
But some soldiers are complaining about the scant attention, and help, they receive, comparing their plight with that of members of the police Special Action Force who were killed or wounded in an operation to capture or kill international terrorist Zulkifli bin Hir, alias “Marwan,” in Mamasapano town, Maguindanao, on Jan. 25.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Since the all-out offensive against the BIFF started on Feb. 25, at least six soldiers, including a Scout Ranger captain, have been killed and 31 others wounded.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
News about their sacrifice doesn’t catch attention.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
“We will die silently because we believe this is all but part and parcel of our job,” said a military officer, who asked that he not be identified for not being authorized to discuss the issue.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
“Soldiers have already died in many parts of the country since the Mamasapano incident but none of the families spoke ill of the support given to them,” the officer said.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Pajarilla’s case is an example, the officer said.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Pajarilla and his family, he said, “have been struggling financially, reaching the point of pawning his entire salary to be able to support and find a cure for Quincy.”</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
The situation has driven Pajarilla and his wife to virtually beg for support, asking for money from members of Pajarilla’s battalion, neighbors and friends “just to keep Quincy alive,” the officer said.</div>

<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="font-size: small;">She used to oversee the flow of the system of collection of revolutionary taxes in the province where she and her subordinates would gather money every month from businessmen, construction companies and government officials. She joined the rebel unit in 2005 after a relative succeeded in convincing her of the ideals that the group was fighting for.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">“What they do with the money is a mystery to me,” she said. “I believe they pocket much of it because we never get any assistance from them.”</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">She said that apart from her, only Hubilla and a certain Ka Anton, know of the amount of money they collect as revolutionary tax. None of the NPA rebels on the field know of the amount of money the unit has.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">“I do not remember us benefiting from those collections. Those of us who work on the ground beg for food from residents in the areas we cover. Our firearms come from fallen Army soldiers from encounters,” she said.</span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="font-size: small;">She turned over a list of the establishments and government officials who regularly gave their share of revolutionary taxes along with her M16 rifle when she surrendered in 2013. These were taken by the intelligence and investigation divisions of the Army for further probe.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">She said that Hubilla tried to rape her several times, including one night when he was very drunk.</span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: small;">“I thought they respected women. That’s what they led me to believe. At first, I thought the stories were just stories. I never thought it would happen to me too,” she added.</span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: small;">She said that she rarely saw the other women in the organization because they were distributed to other areas in Sorsogon.</span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: small;">One day, she received a handwritten letter from one of them, a woman she only knows as Ka Emma. She was already in hiding from her comrades since December 2012.</span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: small;">In her letter, Esquilon recalled that Ka Emma lamented of the sexual abuses and deprivation she was experiencing from other rebel leaders.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">“She and I went through the same ordeal. I felt for her. It was the final straw for me. After that, I decided to surrender,” she said.</span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: small;">She added that she never really wanted to become a full-pledged rebel back in 2005 but the NPA leaders threatened to hunt her down, gang rape her and kill her should she try to escape.</span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
