Continue
growing stronger		 April 2004. In a statement on March 29, the CPP Mindanao Commission said that the NPA has been able to expand to 2,000 barrios or 20% of the total 10,021 barrios in Mindanao.
Central Luzon
Expansion		 January, 2004. Mass struggles were successfully advanced in Bulacan, Aurora, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga and Tarlac. The region is assiduously striving to set up full-fledged mass organizations and organizing committees to overcome the trend of conservatism in mass work characterized by slow-paced organizing and infrequent and intermittent antifeudal struggles.
Cordillera
Just peace
between tribes		 October, 2003. In places where the leadership and influence of the revolutionary movement are already predominant, the Party and the NPA actively influence and guide the formation of bodong (a tribal institution aimed at stopping tribal wars, ensuring the protection of each tribe, and establishing a peaceful alliance). They adjust to the vestiges of primitive bodong forms and processes and develop them towards becoming a new type of bodong that is more progressive, democratic and patriotic.
Eastern Visayas
Red Political
Power		 September, 2003. Proletarian leadership and the spirit of genuine democracy and revolutionary social change are very much alive in areas where Party branches are highly developed and self-reliant. The leadership of the Party and the mass organizations is very much felt in the sharpness of the political calls and the vigor of the community's response to them. Such is the case in a barrio in Samar where the NPA has been active for more than 20 years and which is now under the people's Red political power.
Agrarian Revolution ...more
Isabela
Conference		 September 22-24, 2003. Experiences in advancing the struggles of the peasant masses in Isabela were assessed. One of the matters summed up by the conference was a peasant campaign conducted in two towns in Isabela in May that led to the reduction of interest rates by 40- 50% and the eradication of many forms of merchant fraud. More than 101,000 peasants from over 100 barrios benefited from these victories…
Southern Tagalog
Peasant Struggle		 October, 2003. The people's vigorous participation in antifeudal struggles and other political campaigns and mobilizations have scored victories in reducing land rent and decreasing the resikada imposed by copra buyers. There are struggles against landgrabbing and the setting up of landfills, the assertion by peasants of their right to put up houses in the lands they occupy and the recovery by national minorities of their ancestral lands that have been converted to logging concessions.
Cagayan Valley
Non-payment
of land rent		 August 5, 2003. The Pambansang Kapisanan ng mga Magsasaka sa Pilipinas-Cagayan Valley (PKMP-CV) called on all Cagayan and Isabela peasants who were most severely victimized by tropical storm Harurot to fight for their right not to pay land rent.…
Samar
Assessment
of Advances		 June, 2003. The antifeudal struggle yielded mass activists and revolutionary masses tempered in the class struggle. The antifeudal base in the area now serves as a bulwark of legal and open mass actions on a broader broader scope, including the town centers.
Cultural Work
Cagayan Valley
Women NPAs		 March, 2004. Ka Alex and Ka Jiji are among the women Red fighters of an oversized platoon of the New People's Army (NPA) in the southern guerrilla front of Cagayan Valley…The strength, commitment and service to the people shown by women Red fighters effectively shatter backward social concepts and help raise the consciousness of the masses to combat feudal and bourgeois attitudes towards women.
Batangas
Propaganda		 November, 2003. The comrades saw the effectiveness of art and literature in the daily conduct of work among the masses. Red fighters strove to improve the productions until such productions became part of their daily work among the masses.
