[Summary] =>
Military and defense department officials said the New People's Army (NPA)'s
strength has dwindled from 20,000 in the late 1980s to 5,000 guerrillas in
1995, but Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile doubts these figures.

security, Enrile gave the third degree to National Security Adviser
Alexander Aguirre and Defense Secretary Orlando Mercado along with ranking
military officials.

EL SALVADOR, Misamis Oriental -- Fifteen years have passed since Cristy Coloso
witnessed her foster parents' murder. Yet she still trembles at the sight of a
gun and suffers from chills at the sound of gunshots.
"I cannot forget," she says. "The images of their death just keep coming
back."
Lorenzo and Corazon Coloso, the couple who adopted Cristy when she was a little
girl, were gunned down in broad daylight in a town seven kilometers from here
in 1985. Members of the New People's Army (NPA) suspected them of being
military spies.

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY -- Why kill your own kind?
For the New People's Army (NPA) in Mindanao in the 1980s, a comrade caught
spying for the military was considered a "zombie" or walking dead. And they
believed ahos or garlic was the most effective weapon against these
demons.
The rebels launched Kampanyang Ahos (Garlic Campaign) in 1985, hoping to
cleanse or purge its ranks of demons.
