 Basahin ang artikulong ito sa Pilipino

Armed revolution continues to gain strength in Mindanao in the face of the country�s worsening crisis.

The NPA launched around 60 tactical offensives last year, seizing over 150 high-powered firearms. In Southern Mindanao, up to 57 enemy troops were killed and 54 were wounded. In Northeastern Mindanao, 41 enemy soldiers were killed and one wounded.

On the other hand, the NPA lost a number of cadres and comrades during fierce enemy attacks. They included two regional commanders and some company- and platoon-level military and political officers. The entire revolutionary movement honors their supreme sacrifice.

Following are some of the victories in the armed struggle:
