A unit of the New People’s Army in Bicol finished the Basic Party Course last July amid military combat operations. The course was given to new Red fighters and members taking a refresher. It was conducted in a staggered manner to adapt to the military situation.

The people’s army officers valued the study to strengthen the ideological foundations of Party members and new Red fighters. They said the launching of the study proves that nothing can hinder revolutionary learning. It boosted the morale of Red fighters and bolstered their willingness to face sacrifices and hardships.
