Exactly 125 years ago today, American colonial occupation forces fired shots at Filipino soldiers crossing a bridge in San Juan, Manila (now San Juan City) sparking armed hostilities signaling the start of the Filipino-American war and the slaughter of thousands in the course of the bloody US colonization of the Philippines. It also signaled the […]
The Filipino people’s clamor for the abolition of the National Task Force (NTF)-Elcac continues to mount, buttressed by the recommendation made yesterday by United Nations Special Rapporteur Irene Khan, and a recent similar recommendation by fellow UNSR Ian Fry. In tandem with the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine National Police (PNP), the […]
The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) condemns the US imperialist government and its military forces for carrying out aerial bombing and drone strikes in at least 85 sites in Syria and Iraq which are acts of military aggression outrightly violating these countries’ sovereignty. By staging these strikes in Syria and Iraq, the US is […]
Together with the Filipino people, the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) condemns the US military and Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) for planning to hold another round of large-scale war exercises in the Philippines that trample on the country’s national sovereignty and further drag the country into military and economic conflicts of the […]
The attack last Sunday against a US military facility in the northern part of Jordan just south of Syria known as Tower 22 marks the further expansion and rising possibility of an escalation of the war in the Middle East. The attack was carried out a few weeks since the US and United Kingdom started […]
The Filipino people roundly rejects the conflict of the Marcoses and Dutertes, as neither represent the interests of the broad masses of workers, peasants, semiproleteriat, professionals and intellectuals. Both, in fact, represents the worst of the bureaucrat capitalists, and the ruling oppressive and exploitative classes of big landlords and bourgeois compradors, and both promote fascist […]
Lubos na itinatakwil ng sambayanang Pilipino ang bangayan ng mga Marcos at Duterte, na kapwa namang hindi kumakatawan sa interes ng malawak na masang manggagawa, magsasaka, mala-proletaryado, mga propesyunal at intelektwal. Katunayan, pareho nilang kinakatawan ang pinakamasasahol na burukratang kapitalista, at naghaharing mapang-api at mapagsamantalang mga uri ng malalaking panginoong maylupa at burgesyang komprador, at […]
1) It was quite amusing to observe a few days ago how Col. Francel Margareth Padilla started her work as new spokesperson of the AFP by repeating the annual AFP announcement that the fascist military “will eliminate the New People’s Army by the end of the year.” Despite being new to the job, she already […]
Like many of his past declarations, Marcos’ claims today that the New People’s Army (NPA) has no more guerrilla fronts leave the people and their revolutionary forces incredulous. If Marcos’s declarations were true, why is it then that around 60-70,000 military and police combat troops (or around 150 battalions of AFP and PNP counterinsurgency units) […]
Tulad ng marami na niyang nagdaang deklarasyon, ang pahayag ni Marcos ngayong araw na wala nang ni isang larangang gerilya ang Bagong Hukbong Bayan (BHB) ay hindi mapaniwalaan ng mamamayan at kanilang mga rebolusyonaryong pwersa. Kung totoo nga ang mga deklarasyon ni Marcos, bakit mayroon pang 60-70,000 tropang pangkombat ang militar at pulis (o nasa […]
