A few months after the murder of Cris Hugo, a National Council member of the League of Filipino Students (LFS) in Bicol, another LFS member was shot dead in Bulan, Sorsogon today.

Rie Mon "Ambo" Guran, a 21 year-old student from Aquinas University was shot dead this morning at around 6 a.m. He was a 4th year Political Science student and was the LFS spokesperson for Aquinas.

Guran was shot in a bus terminal in Bulan, Sorsogon as he was on his way to his school in Legazpi. A lone gunman, with companions, boarded the same bus he was on and killed him. He acquired 4 gunshot wounds, 1 in the head and 3 in the body.

Guran celebrated his 21st birthday yesterday.

Guran's killing also came a month after the abduction of 2 UP students, Karen Empeno and Sherlyn Cadapan, in Bulacan, both LFS members.

"We are very upset and very much outraged by this recent murder. We are holding President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo directly responsible for this killing as it happened a week after she praised Gen. Jovito Palparan's criminal acts in her SONA," said Vencer Crisostomo, LFS National Chairperson.

Crisostomo said Guran's killing shows that Arroyo's "vague" condemnation of political killings during her SONA last week "was only meant for PR".

"This proves the farcical nature of Arroyo's 'condemnation' of political killings: nothing is actually done to stop the murders and instead, murderers like Palparan are being honored. The implementation of her 'all-out war' and 'Oplan Bantay Laya' continue, targeting unarmed civilians and activists," said Crisostomo.

Crisostomo called on students to conduct "nationwide walk-outs and boycott protests" in response to the Guran's killing. "We have to stop this fascist rampage of the Arroyo regime. We cannot allow cold-blooded assasinations like this to continue targeting the youth of our nation. We will do every means necessary to make this government pay for its crimes and to get justice for the victims of the Arroyo regime," he said.

The League of Filipino Students (LFS) is a nationwide student organization formed in 1977 as an alliance against tuition increases. It has chapters in prominent universities, colleges and high schools accross the regions. Despite repeated categorical denial by the students, the group with around 10,000 members nationwide has been tagged as "communist fronts" and "destabilizers" by the government and elements of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). #

League of Filipino Students – UPLB led today’s protest and candle lighting activities at the UPLB Humanities Steps, 3 pm, adding their voice to the entire youth and Filipino masses in condemning the killing of Rie Mon “Ambo” Guran, 21, Spokesperson of the League of Filipino Students in Aquinas University.

Guran was shot by still unidentified assailants in Bulan, Sorsogon, 6am today. He is the latest victim of US-Arroyo regime’s Oplan Bantay Laya, AFP’s murderous scheme disguised as an “anti-insurgency” campaign.

A former BS Agricultural Chemistry student of the University of the Philippines Los Baños, Guran chaired the local chapter of LFS-UPLB in 2002-2003. In the same year, he also served as a member of the UPLB University Student Council Volunteer Corps.

Remembering Ambo

Mark Velasco, chairperson of LFS-UPLB recounted that he last saw Ambo when he came here to visit during last year’s February Fair. He recounted that even if Ambo had already transferred school, he continued to serve the genuine and democratic interests of the students and the Filipino people.

Velasco described Along as “Astig na lider-estudyante – masiyahin at talagang maaasahan. Nung narito pa siya sa UPLB, kasama namin siya sa mga kampanya laban sa komersyalisasyon ng edukasyon, partikular ng UP.”

“Ambo’s death will not deter the us in our aim to advance the national democratic interests of the Filipino people. We will not ceases our efforts to consolidate and expand our ranks as we struggle and expose the evils of Oplan Bantay Laya.” Velasco added.

GMA’s Killer SONA

Velasco said that “Rie Mon “Ambo” Guran is the first youth fatality of GMA’s Killer SONA. Her acknowledgement of General Palparan’s work in her speech despite Palparan’s gruesome record of human rights violations, is a death sentence to those who oppose the government. This together with her 1B “counter-insurgency” program only legitimizes political killings which include the youth as targets.”

“GMA's SONA which promotes development through the creation of “superregions’ is a farce. Her all out war policy against CPP-NPA-NDF has instead resulted to the creation of “killerregions” due to upsurge of military operations in regions like Southern Tagalog and Central Luzon. Instead of propping up military funds, the government should rechannel it to education and social services. She even brandishes cha-cha as a solution to poverty but it will only worsen the current state of the country by eliminating what’s left of our national patrimony in exchange to further dependence on foreign capitalists. This will only lead to further state abandonment of education. In UP, for instance, the UP Admin is now proposing for a P1,000 increase per unit due to meager budget.” Velasco added. ###

oo nga. sobrang iksi ng buhay.

at kanina lamang, buhay pa si Reimond Guran, mas kilala bilang si Rambo o si Ambo. isa siyang aktibista. isa siyang taong alam kung ano ang kanyang pinaninindigan. hindi nga ako makapaniwala sa mga naririnig ko. pero ganun na lamang ang aking pag-alala nung narinig ko yung apelyido niya. sa radyo ko pa narinig yun. buti na lang wala akong pasok. hindi nga ako sanay na tawagin siyang reimond. para sa akin, para sa aming lahat dito na CYF, siya si rambo para sa amin.

tinext ko lahat ng kakilala ko ba kilala rin si rambo. walang nagrereply. ang iba naman, hindi sigurado kung reimond nga ang pangalan niya. kung hindi pa sinabi sa'kin ni ian na si rambo na nga yun at wala na siya, hindi pa rin sana ako lubusang maniniwala. tapos nagtext na rin si ate weng na si rambo na nga talaga, ayon kay monsi. ano pa nga ba ang magagawa ko? ano pa nga ba ang magagawa natin? isa namang buhay ang lumisan sa mundo nang dahil sa mga berdugong may hawak ng kapangyarihan ngayon.

sa mga panahong ganito, nanggagalaiti na lamang ako. ano ba sila at may kakayanan silang pumatay ng mga tao? diyos ba sila para kitilin ang buhay ng isang nilalang? alam ko eh, hindi naman, di ba? pero bakit ganun na lamang at nasisikmura nilang gawin yun. natatakot ba sila? marahil oo. takot na mabahiran ang kanilang mga kinaiingat-ingatang pangalan, kapangyarihan, at posisyon. ganoon na lamang ang gagawin nila para hindi maagaw at mawala sa kanila iyon. ganun na lamang ang kaya nilang gawin. walang sinasanto.

isa lamang si rambo sa maraming pangalan ng mga taong pinatay ng walang laban. ang tanging krimen na ginawa nila ay ang sabihin ang kanilang nalalaman at ipaglaban ang karapatan ng nakararami. kasalanan bang sabihin ang totoo? ang nagagalit ang siyang guilty at takot maibunyag ang kaalamang iyon sa mundo. hindi lamang ito natutungkol sa lahat ng may kapangyarihan. lahat ng tao, basta may itinatago na makakasisira sa kanila, gagawin ang lahat, manatili lamang itong nakatago. hindi ba't totoo iyon? hindi ba? pero kung ang gagawin mo ay ang pumaslang at kitilin ang buhay ng isang tao, mas lalong ibang usapan na ito.

hindi ko naman masasabing mabait na tao si rambo. as in yung tipong di makabasag ng pinggan. more of mabait in his own way, alam niyo yun. di kami close pag nagkikita kami. pero naging textmate din kami. lalo na nung buntis ako at walang makausap. pero take note, inaaya niya pa ako nun mag-inuman kahit na nung buntis pa lang ako. sira talaga siya. sira, oo. pero may sense. kumbaga, hindi siya sobrang bait. normal na tao siya. may sarili ring mga kalokohan. pero wala siyang ginawang masama. hindi masama ang mga sinasabi niya at mga ginagawa niya. mas masama ang pumatay ng kahit na anong ginawa at binuo ng diyos. lalo na't hindi ikaw, di ka diyos. at ngayon, wala na akong matatanggap na text na "kumusta?" o kaya "andito kami. kumakain sa may tabi. gutom na kasi kami at may tinatapos pa kaming paper." at kahit text na "inuman tayo sa convention. hehe." wala na. pero mananatiling nakaukit ang alaala niya sa lahat ng taong nakasama niya at nakasalamuha.

siguro, sa pagkamatay ni rambo, hindi pa rin dito nagtatapos ang laban niya. akala lang ng mga pumatay sa kanya na titigil na lahat kapag nawala na rin sa mundo si rambo. for all i know, patuloy lang ang laban. namatay si rambo nang buo at walang inuurungan. namatay siya dahil itinuloy niya ang pagtulong sa kapwa. nasa sa inyo na yun kung iisipin niyong masama ang tumulong at sabihin ang mga naisasaloob nila. at sa kanyang paglisan, maraming mata ang mamumulat sa katotohanan na walang sinasanto ang gobyernong ito. marami ang mamumulat at makikita ang tunay na kulay ng mundo at ang tunay na nagaganap sa paligid.

ka-chat ko din ang ilang kaibigan. nagulat din sila sa nalamang balita. may isa pa ngang nagtanong, "martial law na ba?" oo nga. mukhang martial law na naman. marami nang kinitil na buhay sa loob ng rehimeng ito. at marami pa siguro ang susunod. hanggang kailan ito titigil? kapag lahat ay papet na at ang lahat ay sumusunod na parang mga bulag at walang alam. tuta. ganun. pero hindi. may isip tayo at may damdamin. nasa sa atin ang pagdedesisyon. wala tayong dapat ipangamba. mas dapat na matakot ang mga may ginagawang masama. hindi tayo.

sa mga kaibigan at nakakakilala kay rambo, ingats na lang po tayo. sabi ng kaibigan ko, may files daw "sila" na mga pumatay kay rambo. may files "sila" ng mga kaibigan at kakilala ni rambo.

at sa'yo rambo. saludo pa rin kami sa'yo. asahan mong marami pa rin ang magpapatuloy ng mga nasimulan mo. at asahan mong hindi mawawala ang mga taong naniniwala sa mga ipinaglalaban mo. you're in our prayers. lalo na ang pamilyang naiwan mo. paalam. at ingats ka sa biyahe mo ngayon.

well, it seems so.

yesterday, we were playing in our room. i was trying to take pictures. haha. wala lang. trip lang. and then i asked sky, "sabi ka, 'mama'". he looked at me and said, "papa."

of course, i laughed. i told him, "sabi ko, sabihin mo 'mama'." but he again said, "papa." while he continued on playing.

hala. patay tayo niyan.

after thirty minutes to an hour, we went out and i set him on the crib. his ninong ed and ninang julie where there. sky started crying when he was put down on the crib. of course, that's his new trick so that people would always carry him.

tito ed went to sky and tried to coax my baby to go with him for kakargahin nga siya ng ninong ed niya. but then he cried out, "papa." tita julie and ninong ed laughed while saying, "tatao naman." (he now knows.)

maybe. i dunno.

anyhow, this morning, our helper, tiya amy, was walking by where sky was playing. and when she did, sky said, "papa." and then kate said, "amy. hindi papa." but kept on saying papa over and over again.

hay.... no comment.

by the way, pics are here. taken just yesterday.
