Of course the NTF-Elcac will recommend “localized peace talks” because a large part of their lifeline (the so-called “barangay development program”) depend on it. This comes as no surprise. Sharing the same militarist mindset of the officials of the Duterte regime, the NTF-Elcac officials under Marcos are set to push the same failed counterinsurgency policies […]
Siyempre irerekomenda ng NTF-Elcac ang “lokalisadong usapang kapayapaan” dahil malaking bahagi ng kanilang pondo (ang tinatawag na “barangay development program”) ay nakasalalay dito. Wala namang nagulat. Dala ang militaristang pananaw na tulad ng sa mga upisyal ng rehimeng Duterte, ang mga upisyal ng NTF-Elcac sa ilalim ni Marcos ay nakatakdang isulong ang parehong palpak na […]
结束各地共产主义武装冲突全国工作队一定会力挺“本地化和谈”,因为他们的生命线(即所谓的“村镇发展项目”)在很大程度上有赖于它,这没什么令人惊讶的。
We join the Filipino people in marking today the 6th anniversary of the decision of the International Arbitral Tribunal which nullified China’s “9-dash line” claim and recognized the Philippine’s exclusive economic zone and extended continent shelf. For six years, the Philippine government threw the ruling to the garbage heap to kowtow to China’s wishes, and […]
Officers of the 95th IB and the 5th Infantry Division of the AFP are desperately weaving tall tales of Red fighters “dying of hunger” and of a “power struggle” within the New People’s Army in Isabela province. Last week, they resorted to gravedigging to exhume supposed “victims” to lend drama to their concocted stories, earn […]
Ferdinand Marcos praised assassinated former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe as a “devoted friend of the Philippines” while Rodrigo Duterte called him “a true friend close to a brother.” In doing so, they both insulted the collective memory of the Filipino people, whose sufferings under the Japanese colonial forces in the 1940s, Abe had worked […]
The Communist Party of the Philippines extends its solidarity with the working class and people of Sri Lanka as they wage resistance in the face an acute social and economic crisis marked by acute shortages of basic commodities, spiralling prices, plummeting wages resulting in widespread hunger and sufferings. Yesterday’s uprising of hundreds of thousands of […]
Katawa-tawa, kung tuusin, ang pahayag ng kumander ng 8th ID ng Philippine Army na palpak sa pagsagot sa nauna kong pahayag tungkol sa batayang ligal ng paggamit ng NPA ng command-detonated explosives. Dahil wala namang talaga siyang masabing malaman, bumaling na lang siya sa personal na banat sa akin. Hindi ko na iyon papansinin. Kung […]
The AFP’s claim that NPA strength has been reduced to 2,000 and guerrilla fronts to 23 is a gross underestimation of the real strength of the revolutionary armed forces. The obvious aim, of course, is to make it appear that the AFP is winning their brutal war after five years of all-out spending and large-scale […]
We are still awaiting details from the local unit, but judging by a report released by the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), fighters of the New People’s Army (NPA) in Northern Samar successfully mounted an ambush against a unit of the 20th IB in Barangay Magsaysay, Mapanas town early this morning. The enemy troops […]
