Duterte is obsessed with prolonging the civil war
December 08, 2020 | Communist Party of the Philippines | Marco Valbuena | Chief Information Officer |

The CPP’s Central Committee has yet to issue a decision on whether it will declare a ceasefire or not for the holiday seasons. The decision will likely come a week before the holidays. Duterte’s declaration that there will be no more ceasefires with the revolutionary movement comes as no surprise. His government’s policies have always […]

On the DOJ's Human Rights Summit
December 07, 2020 | Communist Party of the Philippines | Marco Valbuena | Chief Information Officer |

Kasukasuka at kasuklam-suklam. The DOJ’s so-called “Human Rights Summit” is a big farce. It is a gross mockery of human rights. It is a disgusting attempt to artificially dress up the Duterte regime’s gross record of extrajudicial killings and political repression. It is a desperate attempt to repair the Duterte regime’s image of an international […]

Addicted to war and profits, Duterte and his generals oppose peace
December 05, 2020 | Communist Party of the Philippines | Marco Valbuena | Chief Information Officer |

The recommendation of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) to not go on ceasefire this holiday seasons does not come as a surprise. We also wager that Duterte will readily approve this plan. All these years, the AFP has opposed any act that serves the end of peace. They have never abided by their […]

Over the past few weeks, campus editors have jointly and individually dished out important questions on the matter of terrorism, the enactment of the Anti-Terror Law and the use of terror-tagging by the Duterte regime against the CPP and NPA.

[UPDATED: November 29, 11:30AM] The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) condemns in the strongest terms the Philippine National Police (PNP) for the cold-blooded murder of NDFP peace consultants Eugenia Magpantay and Agaton Topacio last Wednesday in Angono, Rizal.

On unjust conviction of Benito Tiamzon and Wilma Austria
November 27, 2020 | Communist Party of the Philippines | Marco Valbuena | Chief Information Officer |

We denounce unjust conviction of NDFP peace consultants Benito and Wilma Austria on trumped up criminal charges of kidnapping. The conviction forms part of political persecution that violates the Joint Agreement on Security and Immunity Guarantees (JASIG) signed by the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP) and the NDFP. That the case was […]

Children claimed as NPA fighters are victims of AFP fake "surrenders"
November 27, 2020 | Communist Party of the Philippines | Marco Valbuena | Chief Information Officer |

The claims of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) of more than 500 children recruited as NPA combatants are completely false. This is as false as the AFP’s claims of thousands of NPA “surrenderees” which has surpassed even its own estimate of the number of NPA members. As we have emphasized in the past, […]

Objection to US bomb and missile donation to Duterte terror regime
November 25, 2020 | Communist Party of the Philippines | Marco Valbuena | Chief Information Officer |

We vehemently object to the Trump government’s “donation” of $18 million worth of bombs and missiles that will exarcerbate the Duterte regime’s dirty war against the people. The war matériel was received by the AFP last Monday. We demand the incoming Biden regime to take action against continuing US military support for Duterte’s state terrorist […]

Read in: Pilipino | Hiligaynon Last November 13, a website that calls itself the “Tribune of the People” (TOP) published as its editorial the article “To Celebrate Biden’s Victory is Incompatible with Anti-Imperialism: An Open Letter to the Communist Party of the Philippines.” The “Open Letter” deserves critical repudiation by the CPP, especially since it […]
