From the CPP Website (Aug 1): Condemn Aquino regime for US drone flying in Philippines—CPP
The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) today condemned the Aquino government for “treacherously allowing the US government and its military to fly and operate its military drones over the Philippines” and urged the Filipino people “to exert all-out effort to make the Aquino regime pay for its treachery and sell-out of Philippine sovereignty.”
The CPP issued this statement after the Department of Foreign Affairs of the reactionary Philippine government admitted that US military forces have been conducting routine surveillance operations in Philippine territorial waters in the South China Sea.
“In an apparent bid to obscure US military interventionism, Benigno Aquino III himself revealed that his government has specifically asked the US military to deploy P3C Orion spy planes. Aquino’s disclosures are a futile attempt to justify US deployment of surveillance and other military equipment in the area.” The Orion is an anti-submarine surveillance aircraft that is used to intercept communications.
The Aquino government has been forced to admit the presence of US warships and surveillance drones after US military forces boasted that their ships have been conducting surveillance operations in the South China Sea. The official blog of the US Navy states that the USS Bonhomme Richard has been patrolling the Philippine seas since July 1. The US warship is capable of carrying more than 100 vehicles, 300 pieces of combat equipment and 1,100 armed soldiers.
“Aquino, however, has succeeded only in revealing his outright puppetry to the US imperialists,” pointed out the CPP. “He is now set to throw himself into history’s dustbin where he will keep company with other traitors who conspired with the foreign imperialist powers in their campaign to establish their hegemony in the Philippines and in the Asia-Pacific region.”
“The operations of US military drones over Philippine territories are an outright violation of Philippine sovereignty and an all-out display of contempt for the freedom-loving Filipinos,” said the CPP.
“For the past several years, the US government has been working closely with the Aquino government to foment conflict in the South China Sea areas by issuing bellicose statements and carrying out large-scale power-projection activities in the area in order to provoke China to carry out aggressive or defensive military action,” pointed out the CPP.

The commies need to come up with some new propaganda themes/messages.
ReplyDeleteThe messages noted below have been repeated over the years in reference to other Presidents and other situations:
"...make the Aquino regime pay for its treachery and sell-out of Philippine sovereignty.”
“Aquino, however, has succeeded only in revealing his outright puppetry to the US imperialists....”
“He is now set to throw himself into history’s dustbin where he will keep company with other traitors who conspired with the foreign imperialist powers...”
“The operations of US military drones over Philippine territories are an outright violation of Philippine sovereignty and an all-out display of contempt for the freedom-loving Filipinos....”
Commie propaganda is so trite and shop-worn that I doubt if anyone in the Philippines takes it seriously anymore. Who talks like this nowadays!! LOL
Oh by the way, increased Chinese aggressiveness in the South China Sea is not in reaction to Philippine or US actions in the region. It is the result of the Chinese military build up and its realization that the Philippines is militarily weak and that U.S. has declared its neutrality regarding the conflicting claims in the region and appears unwilling to militarily confront China over its encroachment on the claims of others in the SCS. China will continue its aggressive behavior because at present there is no downside to its actions.
