Press release
July 23,2018

The Leonardo Panaligan Command – New People’s Army (LPC-NPA) congratulates and commends the courageous members of the revolutionary masses in Central Negros in their persistence in building the Barrio Revolutionary Committee (BRC/ KRB) last July 21, 2018, in an isolated and forested section of Central Negros, despite the ceaseless AFP-led battallion-size operations in parts of the guerilla front.

This success is of great significance among the ranks of the whole revolutionary movement and the praiseworthy leadership of the Communist Party of the Philippines in the locality and the whole of the Negros region.

The LPC-NPA also extends its gratitude to the ISGANNAN members of the Barrio Defense Unit , the People’s Militia Unit and the Local Guerilla Unit together with a platoon of the New People’s Army in securing the safety of almost two hundred official representatives and delegates of close to two thousand organized masses of the full-pledged peasant association of the National Peasant Association (Pambansang Katipunan ng mga Magsasaka/ PKM), the Patriotic Youth (KM), the Patriotic Movement of New Women (MAKIBAKA) and the support groups from the ranks of the middle forces in the villages.

The successive establishment of a total six (6) units of full-pledged peasant association of the PKM, Makibaka and SKM in the whole guerilla front in just six months (February to July 2018) is also a significant victory.

The twenty percent (20%) growth of the mass base and the consolidation from Organizing Groups to the Barrio Revolutionary Committees (BRC)where they advanced the agrarian revolution and other mass actions; the 25-35% growth of the NPA and its launching of 40 successful military actions where they confiscated 35 arms and military logistics and the 15-20% growth of the CPP membership and the generation of cadres, only show the correct leadership of the Party and strong support of the masses. T,his is also a clear manifestation of the defeat of the class enemies, the fascist AFP/PNP, especially the all-out war and the reactionary attacks in the framework of Oplan Kapayapaan of the US- Duterte regime against the CPP/NPA/NDFP.

The third State of the Nation Address (SONA) of Rodrigo “Digong” Duterte are all lip-service and sugar-coated. Duterte is playing safe and covering his non-compliance to the promises made before he assumed his executive post and on his first SONA.

Duterte’s brazen puppetry to the US and China and the destruction of the lives and livelihood of the Filipino people inflicted by bloody campaigns against drugs, counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency, particularly the Oplan Tokhang, Oplan Tambay, the siege of Marawi, imposition of martial law and the the Build…Build…Build program which resulted in widespread corruption, worsening hunger and poverty of the people due to TRAIN Law, the continuing wage freeze, the insufficient benefits and the bondage of workers to contractualization, the insincerity and non-implementation of genuine land reform and national industrialization are results of the arbitrary cancellation of Peace talks between the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) and the Government of the Republic of the Philippines(GRP) to address the root causes of the civil war in the country, the continuing violations of human rights, the militarization and the extra-judicial killings in the country.

The LPC-NPA is certain that these will ignite a prairie fire of armed struggle in the countryside through the expansion and consolidation of the Party as it exercises absolute leadership over the New People’s Army to seize the political power from the class enemies and to build socialism towards communism.
