February 04, 2024 | Communist Party of the Philippines | Marco Valbuena | Chief Information Officer |

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 […]

February 03, 2024 | Communist Party of the Philippines | Marco Valbuena | Chief Information Officer |

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.

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 […]

January 31, 2024 | Communist Party of the Philippines | Marco Valbuena | Chief Information Officer |

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.

Marcos-Duterte squabbles are contradictions among fascist oppressors
January 30, 2024 | Communist Party of the Philippines | Marco Valbuena | Chief Information Officer |

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 […]

Mga kontradiksyon ng mga pasistang mang-aapi ang bangayang Marcos-Duterte
January 30, 2024 | Communist Party of the Philippines | Marco Valbuena | Chief Information Officer |

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 […]

Inconsistencies in Marcos and AFP pronouncements about NPA strength
January 24, 2024 | Communist Party of the Philippines | Marco Valbuena | Chief Information Officer |

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 […]

The New People's Army will outlast the US-Marcos regime
January 14, 2024 | Communist Party of the Philippines | Marco Valbuena | Chief Information Officer |

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) […]

Dadaigin ng Bagong Hukbong Bayan ang rehimeng US-Marcos
January 14, 2024 | Marco Valbuena | Chief Information Officer |

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 […]
