Win the armed revolution in the 21st century!

On behalf of the Communist Party the Philippines and the Filipino people, I salute the Red commanders and fighters of the New People's Army for their revolutionary unity and their heroic struggles, sacrifices and victories in carrying forward the people's democratic revolution through protracted people's war.

We celebrate the great and glorious history of the New People's Army and we congratulate you for the current advances in the revolutionary struggle. You have increased and consolidated our armed strength and revolutionary mass base in the course of the Second Great Rectification Movement. You have won significant victories in arousing, organizing and mobilizing the people and in launching tactical offensives against the enemy.

We are all happy that the NPA has rallied to the call of the Party to intensify the armed revolution and win complete victory in the 21st century. The NPA is well prepared to advance from victory to victory because of its cumulative experience and strength and because the crisis of the world capitalist system and the domestic ruling system is ever worsening.

It is the sacred duty of the NPA to wage the protracted people's war for as long as there is the need to fight for national and social liberation against oppression and exploitation. The broad masses of the people aspire for the complete victory of the Philippine revolution. We must defeat US imperialism and the local exploiting classes and complete the struggle for national liberation and democracy. From the victory of the new-democratic revolution, we shall proceed to the socialist revolution and further onward to communism.
