Esperon 'happy' with closure of 'NPA-infiltrated' Lumad schoolsNational Security Adviser Hermogenes Esperon Jr. was elated with the shut down of schools for indigenous peoples (IPs) in Mindanao which were allegedly infiltrated by the New People's Army (NPA) to teach Left-leaning ideologies to its students.

If not, then they just persecuted and acted against schools and communities without any basis. Perfect way to make the government look like the bad guy and encourage those affected to join the NPA.
