Revolutionary organizations in Metro Manila and in the adjacent province of Rizal carried out oplan sabit and oplan dikit (streamer and poster operations) to celebrate the anniversary of the Communist Party of the Philippines and the revolutionary movement.

In Rizal, the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP)-Rizal hang streamers on January 9 in Antipolo City to commemorate the 55th anniversary of the Party and the first anniversary of the death of Comrade Jose Maria Sison. They hung two large streamers in the city market where many people pass by.

On EDSA Avenue in Metro Manila, members of the Artist and Writer of Sambayanan (Armas)-Balangay Marlon Caacbay posted artwork and painted on walls last week to celebrate the 37th anniversary of Armas. The group highlighted their support for the people’s war in the country to overthrow imperialism, feudalism and bureaucratic capitalism. The group also denounced the existing bourgeois-decadent culture rotting the country’s art and literature.
