SALUNGGUHIT

Open Targets

By Jasper Almirante/ Bulatlat

Members of media recently got hold of a PowerPoint presentation of the Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (ISAFP), titled Knowing the Enemy, in which several legal organizations – including Church and professional groups – are listed as “communist front organizations” and “enemies of the state.” The PowerPoint presentation is reportedly being used as briefing material for the military. With this, legal mass organizations have become open targets for the state’s armed might. The presentation’s message is actually a done deal: 29 activists and leaders have been killed since January this year; five others were abducted and remain missing.

Salungguhit literally means to underline; figuratively, to underscore or highlight.
