State-sponsored killings of own citizens . At putangina menor de edad at babae pa . Tanginang gobyerno .

Let's not be naive, the communists are recruiting minors, teaching them all sorts of subversive indoctrination. Teaching them how to hate their fellow Filipinos for what? A lost cause? Communists don't like development, they want class poverty and struggle.

Kawawang mga bata na naluko ng mga komunista

Huwag kami
