Bagong taon, malinaw ang panawagan ng Mindoro: CPP–NPA–NDFP, layas. Sa Mamburao, Occidental Mindoro, sinalubong ng mapayapang rali ang pananatili ng KARAPATAN Southern Tagalog, kung saan humigit-kumulang 100 kabataan at katutubong Mindoreño ang nagtipon upang tutulan ang presensya ng CPP–NPA–NDFP at ng mga ligal na prenteng organisasyon nito. Isinagawa ang kilos-protesta kasunod ng serye ng mga engkwentro sa Abra de Ilog, kabilang ang sagupaan noong Enero 1 na ikinasawi ng is

Kabataang Estudyante, Nasawi sa Engkwentro sa Occidental Mindoro Matapos ang masinsinang imbestigasyon ng mga awtoridad, nakumpirma ang pagkamatay ng isang kabataang estudyante sa serye ng tatlong magkakasunod na engkwentro sa Occidental Mindoro. Kinilala ang nasawing indibidwal na si Jerlyn Rose Doydora, isang Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education major in English mula sa Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM), at dating General Secretariat ng Kabataan Partylist bago

DAVAO DEL NORTE—Indigenous leaders from Talaingod have rebuked statements by the Makabayan bloc and allied national democratic organizations following the Court of Appeals’ affirmation of the conviction of former lawmakers Satur Ocampo, France Castro, and their co-accused, saying the Leftist coalition continues to push a narrative that does not reflect the Lumad community’s own position. In an official statement, the Ata-Manobo Tribal Council of Elders/Leaders of Talaing

For former rebels, however, the Third Rectification is not a cure. It is a defensive consolidation, a last-ditch attempt to resuscitate an exhausted strategy by doubling down on doctrine and discipline.

The recruitment of young people from the cities to the mountains is not coincidence—it is command. In every story of a young person who “decides” to join the revolution, we often hear the refrain: “It was my personal choice.” A decision, they say, born of conviction, a moral stand for justice. But the truth is, it is never merely personal. Behind every so-called choice lies the collective hand of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), deliberate, organized, and systema

Written in October 2021, “On Three Viewpoints Concerning the 2022 Elections” was not just an ideological commentary. Certainly not rare but a candid exposition of the CPP’s dual political strategy: the simultaneous pursuit of armed struggle and electoral participation through its legal “patriotic and democratic” organizations. Read carefully, Sison’s own words reveal how the Party sustains this two-pronged approach, and how it protects the tactic by weaponizing the narrative

In September 2023, Job David, better known by his alias “Ka Yuri,” stood at a crossroads that would forever change his life. Once a cadre of the Communist Party of the Philippines–New People’s Army, he had endured years of hardship in the mountains, surviving only on root crops and wild herbs, far from even the most basic comforts. During a “hakot-bundo”* mission, he and two comrades made the difficult decision to surrender to the 23rd Division Reconnaissance Company in Mindo

Ang panawagan ng Defend Mindoro para sa “hustisya” ay may malinaw na kinikilingan. Hindi ito nakabatay sa kung sino ang inosente o may sala, kundi sa kung sino lamang ang kaalyado ng kilusan. Sa kanilang pananaw, ang karapatan ay hindi likas sa lahat, ngunit ito ay gantimpalang iginagawad sa mga kasamang handang mag-alay ng buhay para sa Partido. Sa likod ng isinisigaw nilang "hustisya," naroon ang nakakabinging katahimikan — katahimikang tumatabing sa mga dinukot na kab

A cleared charge is not the same as a cleared conscience.

But in practice, it has increasingly become a machinery for the CPP to consolidate its power in student activism across the UP system.

The Taguig City Regional Trial Court acquitted five senior cadres of the Communist Party of the Philippines–New People’s Army–National Democratic Front (CPP-NPA-NDF) of kidnapping with murder and frustrated murder. The accused—Tirso Alcantara, Dionisio Almonte, Diony Borre, Renante Gamara, and Raul Razo—were freed on the grounds of reasonable doubt, citing lack of solid evidence in securing their convictions.

Inside the hall, would there have been mention of the 1,999 documented violations of IHL attributed to the NPA between 2010 and 2022?

To be sure, walang dapat maging “Dutertard” o “Marcos loyalist.” Yan ang pinaka-delikadong binary thinking ngayon.

The change is being led by two men who once fought the government: one used to carry placards in rallies from Davao to Manila; the other, an M16.

So, even if the CPP insists that the NPA is still strong, what becomes of an army that cannot fulfil its mandate?

Kalaunan, napagtanto ni Ka Star na ang mga pangako ng kilusan ay pawang bingwit lamang upang makapagparami ng hukbo.

Ayon sa opisyal na dokumento mula sa Sablayan Prison and Penal Farm na ibinahagi ng Kadre-Mimaropa sa Kontra Kwento, si Sumilhig ay nahatulang guilty sa double murder at double frustrated murder taong 2006, tumakas sa kulungan noong 2012 kasama ang dalawang bilanggo.
