Communist Party of the Philippines
The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) joins the Filipino people in marking today the 153nd birthday of their revolutionary hero Andres Bonifacio.
Let us be inspired by the revolutionary militance exhibited more than 120 years ago by Bonifacio and the Katipunan fighters in waging armed resistance to put an end to 300 years of Spanish colonialism and subsequently resist the war of aggression and occupation of the US imperialist forces.
Let us recall how the Katipunan succeeded in arousing, organizing and mobilizing the Filipino people in a war to achieve national freedom. With inferior weaponry, they defeated the Spanish colonial army with superior guerrilla tactics, mastery of the terrain, and above all, by the great patriotic aspiration to be free from their colonial and feudal yoke.
Let us also recall how the upper crust of the Filipino illustrados wrested leadership of the revolution and betrayed the Filipino toiling masses by selling out to the Spanish colonialists and later to the US colonial aggressors. Their treachery inaugurated a new century of colonial and neocolonial subjugation.
For more than a century now, the Filipino people have waged a relentless struggle to achieve national freedom from US imperialist domination. For one decade and a half, they waged armed resistance against the brutal and cruel American colonial occupation troops.
They organized and demonstrated in large numbers to demand an end to US colonial rule from the turn of the century and all throughout the colonial period. They waged armed struggle in the intervening period of Japanese colonialism and continued armed resistance until the middle of the 20th century in the early years of neocolonial rule.
For nearly half a century now, the Filipino people under proletarian leadership have persevered in waging people’s war. With the New People’s Army (NPA), they have established the foundations and scaffolding for the people’s democratic government. They wage cultural revolution and mass struggles to assert the demand for national freedom and democracy.
In continuing to wage people’s war, the Filipino people draw inspiration from Bonifacio. The toiling masses and people seek to emulate his life dedicated to the struggle for freedom. His life of sacrifice shames those who lay false claim to heroism. His eloquence in patriotic words matched by concrete deeds shames those who can only spew empty rhetoric.
Imbued with the revolutionary spirit of the Katipunan, they are ever willing to face sacrifices to realize their desire to put an end to US neocolonial rule and the class rule of the big bourgeois compradors and big landlords, establish democratic rule and build a system that will genuinely serve the interests of the people.
