National ID system in the hands of murderous strongman will have terrible results
September 05, 2017 | Communist Party of the Philippines | CPP Information Bureau |

Duterte’s feverish push to implement a National ID system is part of his machinations to establish a totalitarian state of mass surveilance, population control, social, political and criminal profiling and mass murder.

On Duterte's anti-Joma tirades
July 31, 2017 | Communist Party of the Philippines | CPP Information Bureau |

Duterte’s tirades against Prof. Jose Ma. Sison are a vain attempt to derogate a giant of a revolutionary intellectual and leader. In relentlessly attacking Ka Joma, Duterte is overcompensating for his drug-shrivelled and power-intoxicated brain. He has completely embraced the counterrevolutionary anti-communist US line and abandoned all pretensions for being a Leftist. The revolutionary movement […]

Secondly, he wants to use the Balangiga bells as a […]

Response of the CPP-IB to TeleSur questions:
July 23, 2017 | Communist Party of the Philippines | CPP Information Bureau |

Telesur: Do you see the bluster and loud messages from Duterte as a sort of strong-arm negotiating tactic simply meant to force a CPP-NDF-NPA capitulation?
