Militants in Kalibo, Aklan added their voice of dissent to the millions who are against the all-out war policy of the Arroyo government. Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan-Aklan) chairperson George Calaor said the policy is "a desperate strategy to silence the ever growing movement of people to oust President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo." At least 790 political killings have been recorded under the Arroyo administration, he said."The all-out war policy is not a solution to the intensifying economic and political turmoil in the country," Calaor said, and blamed Arroyo for her "militarist, barbaric and terrorist way of avoiding the crimes she committed against the Constitution and the citizenry – the Garci tapes and the fertilizer scam."
Arroyo recently ordered the release of P1 billion to fund the government’s anti insurgency drive. She also gave the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) a 10-week deadline to hunt the killers of slain leftists and journalists. "Her all-out war policy is her ultimate strategy to silence critics," Calaor said./MP mailto:madyaas_pen@yahoo.com
