By BEN SERRANO Correspondent PROSPERIDAD, Agusan del Sur––Nearly 100 municipal tribal leaders held an emergency meeting here yesterday, and issued a two-page manifesto to call on the New People’s Army (NPA) to leave their ancestral domain in the province. But in effect, the tribal leaders want the rebel out of Agusan del Sur because they practically claim all of the province as their ancestral land. The seven-hour meeting was called by the Agusan del Sur Provincial Tribal Council headed by provincial tribal chieftain Gubat Marcos Gonzales Jr.. In a manifesto, they alleged that the NPA and organizations they suspect to be rebel fronts have “no right to exist in their tribal areas... (and have no right to intervene in tribal matters.” They accused the following groups as NPA allies: Karapatan, Gabriela, Makabayan Bloc, partylist Anakpawis, the Missionary Sisters of Mary congregations, Alcadev, Tripfs, Kasalo, and Namasur. But the group said they want the militia group “Bagani Force” to be strengthened in the province. They explained that the “Bagani Force,” implicated in the recent lumad killings in Surigao del Sur, was for peace, and was organized to protect the interests of lumads in Agusan del Sur. They said they would take up arms against the NPA rebels unless the rebels and their allied groups left Agusan del Sur. They accused the NPA of harassing lumads.
