“This gives the military the opportunity to focus its superior capability against the five while the civil government needs only to implement programs that will address the source of peoples’ discontent,” he said.“To keep the organization afloat, the CPP through a digital person known as ‘Marco Valbuena’ can only come up with press releases and statements to convey the party’s directive and message to its lower organs and armed group, including its threat of tactical offensives,” Aguilar said.

Even after over 50 years, the CPP has failed to achieve its goals despite peaking with an estimated 28,000 members in the mid-80s, Aguilar said. The event marked the withdrawal of allegiance to the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army of the fighters on the 54th founding anniversary of the CPP.On Monday, the National Capital Region Police Office director Maj. Gen Jonnel Estomo urged members and supporters of the CPP-NPA to surrender and swear allegiance to the government.

The NCRPO announced that 55 CPP-NPA members have formally withdrawn their allegiance from the rebel group. The returnees laid down their firearms, ammunition and other items.
