Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas
February 14, 2008
The illegally detained deputy secretary general for external affairs of the Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP) Randall "Ka Randy" Echanis, shared some tips to National Broadband Network (NBN) deal star witness Rodolfo "Jun" Lozada on how to withstand the pressure and persecution being done against him by the Macapagal-Arroyo regime.
"The number one rule to withstand this type of persecution is always being true and to speak the truth. You should also stick to your principles. I have been in jail three times now and have undergone physical and mental torture by government agents but they were not able to break me, because all that I fought for was for the truth and genuine welfare of the peasantry. In the end all their attacks will come to naught and you will stand triumphant," said Echanis.
"Second, rely on the Filipino people, they are always watching and supports those who they know are truly working for their benefit. They are also searching for the truth that will drive them to action against this oppressive regime," said the peasant leader.
"Third, the struggle for genuine change involved many steps. Knowing and telling the truth are just the first steps, the next one is action. If we are truly for the Filipino people, then we must put our knowledge into action. We must join the whole nation in street protests to demand the ouster of the Macapagal-Arroyo regime and genuine change. We may know the truth but this will be wasted if we do not act," added Echanis.
"If Jun Lozada can do all these he will not only withstand the persecution of Malacanang, because he has the peoples' support, he will also be recognized as a full-fledged patriot of the country," ended Echanis. # # #
