The Duterte death squad is a form of terrorism against a terrorist group and will be more dangerous than Davao's death squad
Judge Meinrado Paredes, retired retired Samahang Demokratiko Judge at Kaakbay (SDK), condemned the plan to establish "death squads" to fight insurgent sparrow units.
Paredes said that it would act of a form of terrorism aimed at fighting a terrorist group and whatever its motives, any form of terrorism is reprehensible.
"Two wrongs can not make a right," said Paredes.
President Rodrigo Duterte announced his intention to create a Duterte death squadron to counter the New People's Army's Sparrow unit.
Paredes said that Duterte's death squads would be more dangerous than the "Davao death squads", a vigilante group in Davao City that would be responsible for summary executions.
"This death squad Duterte) will not discriminate, including political opponents, critics of the administration and opponents of the regime Duterte, patyon nila (they will kill)," said Paredes.
Paredes said the insurgents deserved to be treated with the basic human right to life and could only be killed during armed fighting.
Paredes said that AFP should treat the insurgents with humanity by arresting them and giving them a chance to be judged according to the law.
Evaluation
The creation of a "Duterte Death Squadron" as a counterforce of the New People's Army's Sparrow unit should be evaluated and studied.
"We conduct assessments (within the Duterte death squadron) in order to know (what to do). On our side, when we interpret it, it means more vigilance and complacency in administrative tasks, "said General Staff of the Armed Forces General Carlito Galvez Jr. to the media , on the occasion of the 17th anniversary of the Central Command at Camp Lapu. Lapu in the city of Cebu.
He was reluctant to give his views on the Duterte death squadron to counter the NPA Sparrow unit and only stated that AFP had not " squadron of death.
"Conduct counter-operations, promote and promote human rights. Meron naman tayong: the priority rules of engagement in the life of the population. (In our counter-operations, we continue to promote human rights.We always have rules of engagement and our priority is the life of the people), "said Galvez.
"We capture or neutralize them through our intelligence operations," added Galvez.
Warning
Galvez said that he considered the president's statements regarding sparrow-fighting units as a form of warning to AFP for them to improve their tactics of neutralizing insurgents and improve their intelligence.
When asked if the army would provide intelligence to "Duterte's death squad", Mr. Galvez said the army would work with its own people who would operate against the Sparrow unit.
"Our directive is to strengthen the vigilance and sense of responsibility of AFP units, to intensify intelligence operations and to neutralize communist sparrow units," Galvez said.
& # 39; Squadron of Death & # 39;
The president said that the Duterte death squad would be composed of armed civilians not belonging to the community and would be stationed in public places such as transport terminals.
"They will hang out at the terminals," he said.
According to the president, death squads would be an advantage in his war against the rebels.
The strike squads, he added, could also attack drug suspects "since it is a question of national security".
"One of these days, I will have to create my own Sparrow (unit) … I will mime their talent by killing people. Yun ang balak ko (that's my plan), "said Duterte in his speech at the change of housing units for the army and police at Camp Rajah Sikatuna in Carmen, Bohol, the November 28th.
"Yung kulang talaga is a sparrow yung ko rin, name of god naman sila makalamang. So create a sparrow, the death squad Duterte against the sparrow (NPA), "he added.
(What's missing is my own unit of sparrows.It's their benefit.I will therefore create my own sparrow, Duterte's death squad, against the Sparrow (NPA).)
Process
Philippine National Police (PNP) chief executive, Oscar Albayalde, said Wednesday that any member of a "squad" should undergo treatment from the PNP.
"Hindi naman" yung sinabi niya na aarmasan niya basta-basta 'yung mga (sibilien). Those who are skilled at handling firearms and for owning licensed firearms (will only be allowed), "said Albayalde.
He also said that firearms should also be allowed and that civilians should be allowed to carry firearms.
Meanwhile, Regional Director of Police Chief Superintendent Debold Sinas said he was awaiting advice from PNP National Headquarters regarding death squads.
"We'll just wait for the ads. The impact of this will be determined by the national headquarters, "Sinas said.
Idea
As if to appease critics, Malacañang said Thursday, Nov. 29 that the president's plan to build the offensive squad was simply an "idea."
"I think the president was only bringing an idea, and if that idea materializes, as Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana has said, the army will be responsible for it," he said. said the spokesman of President Salvador Panelo during a briefing at the palace.
Panelo also confirmed Duterte's plan to use the capitulants of NPA to identify the current members of its so-called Sparrow units.
Asked that this would endanger the lives of the capitulants, Panelo said their lives were already in danger by the time they laid down their arms and surrendered to the government.
