1. The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) welcomes the possible resumption of the NDFP-GRP peace talks after GRP President Duterte reversed his earlier proclamation terminating negotiations in November last year. The revolutionary forces maintain the policy of openness to negotiations to seek solutions to the roots of the armed conflict. The Filipino people await […]

Response to questions from the Washington Post
April 03, 2018 | Communist Party of the Philippines | CPP Information Bureau |

In the opinion of the CPP, why did the peace talks with Duterte breakdown? The immediate reason leading to the breakdown of the NDFP-GRP peace negotiations was Duterte’s adamant demand that the NDFP enter into a long-term bilateral ceasefire agreement even before agreements on socio-economic reforms and political and constitutional reforms are signed. The NDFP […]

On Lorenzana "massive surrender" claims
March 26, 2018 | Communist Party of the Philippines | CPP Information Bureau |

Lorenzana insists there are now 4,356 “NPA surrenderees”. If the “trend of massive surrenders,” as claimed by him, continues, there will be close to 10,000 “NPA surrenderees” by mid-year. So “Congratulations!” are in order for Lorenzana and Duterte, because by June, they would have defeated the NPA at least two times over (based on the […]

On PNP "anti-sparrow" operations
March 24, 2018 | Communist Party of the Philippines | CPP Information Bureau |

Hindi namin alam kung ano ang batayan ng sinasabi ni Duterte at ng tagasunod niyang si PNP Chief Bato dela Rosa tungkol sa diuamano’y stepped-up operations ng NPA SPARU. It seems Duterte is doing some scenario-building to hatch up another tyrannical scheme. The PNP plan to have a group of “seasoned retired police officers” to […]

End the hoax of Duterte's "NPA surrender" shows
March 22, 2018 | Communist Party of the Philippines | CPP Information Bureau |

In a television interview a few days ago, Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana claimed there are now around 4,000 “NPA surrenderees”. If we are to believe claims made by officials of the AFP at the end of 2017 that the NPA is down to 3,700 members, then by simple subtraction, one can conclude that the AFP […]

Resist the rampaging state terrorism of the fascist puppet Duterte regime
December 07, 2017 | Communist Party of the Philippines | CPP Information Bureau |

The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and all revolutionary forces vehemently denounce Duterte’s Proclamation No. 374 declaring the CPP and New People’s Army (NPA) as terrorists, in a vain effort to strong-arm the revolutionary and progressive forces and the Filipino people to submit to his fascist puppet rule and, thus, pave the way for […]

NPA will not surrender to fascist terrorist tyrant
December 04, 2017 | Communist Party of the Philippines | CPP Information Bureau |

1. Without a people’s army, the Filipino people have nothing to defend themselves against the US-Duterte regime’s fascism, campaign of mass murder and state terrorism. The NPA is the Filipino people’s liberation army. It would be a betrayal of the people’s struggle for national and social liberation for the NPA to bow to the will […]

We hope that the aggrieved families and friends could find it in their […]
