The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) expressed solidarity with the Communist Party of India (Maoist) for their upcoming Martyrs Memorial Week from July 28 to August 3. Those receiving honors during the week include martyred CPI (Maoist) secretary general Comrade Basavaraju (Nambala Keshava Rao).

According to the CPP, the heroes of the Indian people are also heroes of the Filipino masses because they gave their lives in the struggle for national and social liberation. In both India and the Philippines, the CPP believes that a growing number of workers, peasants, and oppressed classes will take the revolutionary path in continuing the cause of their martyrs.

The CPP urged all revolutionary forces in the Philippines to express solidarity and participate in the Memorial Week.
