The National Democratic Front (NDF)-Rizal and Kabataang Makabayan (KM)-Balangay Jordan Mopon hung two giant banners in Antipolo City at midnight on January 2. The banners bore tributes to the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), the martyrs of the revolution, and the call to overthrow the US-Marcos regime.

One banner honored Party Central Committee founding chairperson Comrade Jose Maria Sison; exemplary Philippine revolution cadres Comrades Wilma and Benito Tiamzon; and Josephine “Ka Sandy” Mendoza, for her role in strengthening the revolutionary movement in Southern Tagalog.

Another banner honored Jordan “Ka Sy” Mopon, a Rizaleño and valiant commander of the New People’s Army (NPA) who operated in the Sierra Madre mountains. This banner bore the call to support and join the NPA, and “Rizaleño youth, follow in the footsteps of Jordan ‘Ka Sy’ Mopon! Join the NPA!”.

They also paid tribute to the martyrdom of Jerlyn Rose Daydora, a young woman who sacrificed her life while the 203rd Infantry Brigade relentlessly bombed the community of indigenous Mangyan people in Abra de Ilog, Occidental Mindoro on January 1.

According to the group, its members carefully planned the hanging of the banners as the new year approached, ensuring the security and order of the activity. They strictly implemented security measures, especially under the intensified surveillance and repression of the US-Marcos regime against the revolutionary movement.

The activity followed the gathering of NDF-Rizal members on December 30, 2025 to celebrate the CPP’s 57th anniversary. The banners that were hung had also been used during the same NDF-Rizal assembly.

“The call to further advance the people’s democratic revolution is firmly upheld, as the revolutionary people of Rizal remain steadfast in achieving the people’s great victories against the fascist and plundering US-Marcos regime,” NDF-Rizal said.
