The subterfuge behind Duterte's anti-corruption noise

In recent days, Duterte has been harping on corruption, even claiming to have offered to resign because supposedly his cabinet officials have failed to stop corruption in their agencies. Specifically, Duterte has been publicly complaining of red-tape which applicants have to contend with in setting-up a business in the Philippines. Like so many of his […]

Is Duterte's kowtowing to China over?
September 26, 2020 | Communist Party of the Philippines | Marco Valbuena | Chief Information Officer |

When Duterte spoke before the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) a few days ago, he asserted that the 2016 ruling of the Permanent Arbitration Court is “now part of international law, beyond compromise and beyond the reach of passing governments to dilute, diminish or abandon.” He declared: “We firmly reject attempts to undermine it” and […]

September 26, 2020 | Communist Party of the Philippines | Marco Valbuena | Chief Information Officer |

Before the entire world, Duterte revealed himself a remorseless fascist when speaking before the United Nations General Assembly a few days ago, he denounced how human rights have been “weaponized” against his regime. Duterte used the term “weaponize” to denigrate human rights as if it were some malevolent tool used for underhanded aims and to […]

NPA, labawng molig-on ug mas determinadong makig-away taliwala sa hugaw nga todo-gyera ni Duterte
September 25, 2020 | Communist Party of the Philippines | Marco Valbuena | Chief Information Officer |

Read in: English Daw nakahithit ang hepe sa AFP nga si Gen. Gilbert Gapay dihang gipadayag niya nga nagkaluya na kuno ang New People’s Army (NPA) “sa kadaghang rebelde nga misurender.” Tin-aw nga walay kamatuoran ang gipanulti sa heneral.

NPA to emerge stronger and more determined to fight amid Duterte's all-out dirty war
September 25, 2020 | Communist Party of the Philippines | Marco Valbuena | Chief Information Officer |

Read in: Bisaya Gen. Gilbert Gapay, AFP chief, was apparently high on some hallucinogenic substance when he claimed yesterday that the New People’s Army (NPA) is on the decline with “so many rebels surrendering.” There is absolutely no basis in reality for the general’s claims. The AFP’s propaganda about the “weakened” state of the NPA […]

September 24, 2020 | Communist Party of the Philippines | Marco Valbuena | Chief Information Officer |

As people have long suspected, Duterte’s claims to popular support is all a big hoax. This is now confirmed by the Facebook takedown of around 200 accounts and pages, many found to be based in Fujian, China, and with at least 55 directly linked to the Philippine military and police.

September 15, 2020 | Communist Party of the Philippines | Marco Valbuena | Chief Information Officer |

Last night, Duterte disparaged Western pharmaceutical companies saying they are driven by “profit profit profit” as he continued his push for the purchase of Russian and Chinese Covid-19 vaccines. Addressing the Western companies, he promised to “kick your ass” and called on them to “Go back to your country.” Duterte clearly revealed his bias when […]

Duterte's war is getting dirtier and bloodier
September 14, 2020 | Communist Party of the Philippines | Marco Valbuena | Chief Information Officer |

The murder of Leyson Sr., a civilian whose only relation to the armed movement is having a Red fighter son, is a gross violation of international rules of war and of universally accepted norms of a civilized conflict. We call on the Filipino people and international humanitarian and human rights agencies to expose and condemn this treacherous crime.

No acceptable justification for Pemberton pardon
September 11, 2020 | Communist Party of the Philippines | Marco Valbuena | Chief Information Officer |

Roque tried to justify Duterte’s granting of presidential pardon to US marine Pemberton by claiming it means “all Filipinos will have vaccines being developed by America.” What Roque is essentially saying, Duterte threw out the demand for Pemberton to properly serve his sentence in line with the desire of Jennifer Laude’s family, gave up the […]

On Duterte's granting of absolute pardon to Laude killer US Marine Pemberton
September 07, 2020 | Communist Party of the Philippines | Marco Valbuena | Chief Information Officer |

Duterte’s granting of absolute pardon to US Marine Joseph Scott Pemberton is an act of subservience to the US government and military, a grave injustice to Jennifer Laude and her family and, an act of national indignity and treachery to the Filipino people. Allowing Pemberton to go free without having properly served his sentence must […]
