Duterte is a US foreign aggression tool for condemning North Korea
August 03, 2017 | Communist Party of the Philippines | CPP Information Bureau |

Duterte has become a tool for US foreign aggression when he denounced North Korea for developing its nuclear weapons capability.

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 […]

July 26, 2017 | Communist Party of the Philippines | CPP Information Bureau |

GRP President Duterte is raising the Filipino people’s clamor for the return of the Balangiga bells but only for self-serving purposes: First, this is meant as countermove against calls by some sectors in the US to investigate violations of human rights in Duterte’s drug war.

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? CPP Information Bureau: Yes, Duterte’s loud, dirty and blustery mouth aims to bully the Party, the NPA and NDFP to accept his terms for surrender of the revolutionary forces. This […]

His order today to rearrest the NDFP’s consultants is a violation of the JASIG and violates […]
