Led by the Communist Party of the Philippines in Negros Island, three batches of students completed the Party Advanced Course (AKP) in the first six months of 2022. The classes were held in the guerrilla fronts despite the intense and relentless military operations of the fascist 3rd ID.

There were rich discussions and exchange of ideas and experiences between students who hail from different economic classes. The completion of at least 40 students is significant after the first series of courses in early 2019.

AKP is part of the three-level Party course. The writings of great communist leaders Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin and Mao are studied here.

“I learned how to apply our theory to the practical problems of the revolution,” said one student.

“My class standpoint is now more firm. Our graduation is a huge slap on the enemy’s face!” added another.
