NPA: Gloria will pay if hostage dies By Karl B. Kaufman , Reporter
THE communist movement will lead moves to overthrow the Arroyo administration if Angelo de la Cruz is beheaded by his abductors in Iraq.
In a statement Gregorio Ka Roger Rosal, spokesman for the Communist Party of the Philippines, accused President Arroyo of sacrificing the lives of overseas Filipino workers by supporting the US-backed invasion of Iraq.
“The Arroyo regime is responsible for putting the lives of Filipino workers in Iraq and the Middle East in danger, and now the dire fate and danger to the life of de la Cruz,” Rosal said.
“It is the full responsibility of the puppet Arroyo government whatever happens to Angelo de la Cruz. The moment his head is severed, we will do everything to ensure that the Arroyo government will be overthrown. The revolutionary movement promises to do everything to hasten the downfall of [Mrs.] Arroyo if de la Cruz is beheaded,” Rosal added.
