Why will the antiguerrilla war fail?
As in the past, the AFP's antiguerrilla war "Oplan Gordian Knot" will fail because it defends a corrupt, oppressive and exploitative system. There is no effective tactic that the enemy can use to defeat the revolutionary movement because the latter enjoys the support of the people. Despite the AFP and PNP's terrorism and brutality, the masses militantly take a stand and repudiate fascist rule in the countryside.
Fighters of the New People's Army wil continue using guerrilla warfare tactics wisely and sharply. The NPA will always be able to elude the enemy no matter how much it concentrates it forces.
Because of its adherence to military discipline and due to the depth of mass support, NPA fighters are constantly able to evade concentrated enemy forces. With the help of the masses, the NPA is always able to find opportunities to launch tactical offensives against weak or isolated enemy troops.
There are continuing efforts to raise the military capability and revolutionary consciousness of our valiant Red fighters. The recent resounding tactical offensives of the NPA in Compostela Valley, Pampanga, Bulacan, Quezon Mindoro, Leyte, Samar, Bohol, Negros and other areas are proof that the revolutionary movement continues to gain strength.
