PRESS RELEASE Information Bureau Communist Party of the Philippines
CPP calls for broad united front against the Macapagal-Arroyo regime
April 2, 2002
The Communist Party of the Philippines has called for a broad united front against the Macapagal-Arroyo regime "no matter how near or far in time� the Macapagal-Arroyo regime may be overthrown.
In a statement issued on the 33rd anniversary of the NPA on March 29, CPP chair Armando Liwanag depicted the regime as �(hoping) to remain in power up to and beyond 2004 by playing the role of rabid puppet to the US and submitting to all its dictates, especially in matters concerning the military.�
Liwanag said that the regime �continues to stink by being subservient to the US, by aggravating the economic and social crisis and by being corrupt, deceptive and repressive.�
He added that the increasing presence of US military forces in the Philippines highlights the government�s puppetry and is �a time bomb that can explode in the face of the (Macapagal-Arroyo) regime.�
