Women play a significant role in waging revolution.

The New People's Army is the revolutionary army of the Filipino people under the absolute leadership of the Communist Party of the Philippines.

In carrying out the revolutionary armed struggle, the NPA follows the general line of the new democratic revolution through protracted people's war. It is the principal instrument in implementing the revolutionary program for land reform, the main democratic agenda of the people's revolution.

Red fighters of the NPA are principally drawn from among the peasant masses. The correctness and need to carry out revolutionary armed struggle and the justness of the work of the NPA also inspires workers, students-youth, teachers and other professionals to join the revolutionary army.

The NPA was established in March 29, 1969 with 60 Red fighters armed with 9 automatic rifles and 26 single-shot rifles and handguns. By carrying out tactical offensives, the NPA is able to accumulate arms and weaken the reactionary mercenary troops.

Currently, the NPA has a sum total of at least three divisions or nine brigades or 27 battalions of full-time Red fighters with high-powered rifles. These are augmented by tens of thousands in the people's militias and further on by hundreds of thousands in self-defense units of the mass organizations.

Membership is open to all persons aged 18 years old and above, physically and mentally fit, willing and ready to fight for freedom.

BHB, tunay na Hukbo ng mamamayang Pilipino!

Ang Bagong Hukbong Bayan ay kabalikat ng masang magsasaka sa paglaban sa pyudal at pasistang pagsasamantala at pang-aapi ng naghaharingi-uri. Isinusulong nito ang rebolusyong agraryo upang mapaunlad ang kooperasyon, produksyon at kabuhayan ng masang magsasaka. Karamay din ng masa ang BHB sa paglaban sa mga pang-aabusong militar at pagpapatupad ng rebolusyonaryong hustisya. (The New People's Army is one with the peasant masses in fighting the ruling class' feudal and fascist exploitation and oppression. It advances agrarian revolution to improve cooperation, production and the livelihood of the peasant masses. The NPA also helps the masses in countering military abuses and in implementing revolutionary justice.)

Mahigpit na kaisa't kaulayaw ng masa ang Hukbo sa araw-araw. Ang mga Kasama'y hingahan ng suliranin, tagapaggalang ng kultura, sensibilidad at mga ari-arian ng masa. Katuwang at guro ng mamamayan ang BHB sa pulitika, edukasyon at kultura, at magkasangga nilang inaalagaan ang kalusugan ng taumbaya't kinakalinga ang kalikasan. (The NPA is in close ties and lives its everyday life with the masses. The NPA is the masses' confidante with regard to problems, and respects their culture, sensibilities and property. The NPA is also the people's parttner and teacher in politics, education and culture, and together they nurture the people's health and care for the environment.)

Kaya't minamahal at inaaruga ng masa ang BHB. Walang-patid ang pagsampa ng mamamayan dito; boluntaryo nilang kinukupkop, inaalagaa't binibigyan ng damit, pagkain, bala, gamit-opisina at iba pang suplay ang inaangkin nilang Hukbo at iba pang mga kasama. Mahusay silang naniniktik, lumalahok sa panilipunang pagsisiyasat, tumutulong sa pag-oorganisa at iba pang aspeto ng gawain ng Hukbo. Dahil sa ibayong humihigpit na pagtutuwang ng Hukbo at masa, nagtatagumpay ang mga pakikibakang pangkabuhayan, nahaharap ang masasalimuot na usaping panlipunan, lumalapad ang rebolusyonaryong baseng masa, at nagtatagumpay ang mga taktikal na opensiba.(Thus, the masses love and cherish the NPA. They continuously join the People's army; they voluntarily care for and provide the army, which they have embraced, with shelter, clothes, food, ammunition, office supplies and other needs. They efficiently conduct intelligence work, participate in social investigation, help in organizing and in other aspects of the army's work. Because the ever-strengthening partnership of the NPA and the people, economic struggles are won, controversial social issues are addressed, the revolutionary mass base expands and tactical offensives succeed.)

Ang BHB ay rebolusyonaryo, siyentipiko, maka-masa at may disiplinang bakal. Habang mahigpit sa kaaway, bawat hakbang nito'y batay sa malalimang pagsisiyasat, sa palagay at interes ng mamamayan. (The NPA is revolutionary, scientific, pro-masses and carries steel discipline. While it is stern with the enemy, each step is based on thorough investigation, on the opinion and interest of the people.)

Sa patnubay ng Partido, masikhay na nilulubos ng Hukbo ang mga kilusang pagwawasto na ibayong nagpapatatag at nagpapalawak sa hanay ng rebolusyonaryong mamamayan: (Guided by the Party, the NPA vigorously advances rectification movements, which further strengthen and widen the ranks of the revolutionary masses.)
