Brief remarks at the reopening of the NDFP Information Office building
Duterte is using his so-called war on illegal drugs as a means of projecting an image as a strong man with an iron fist in order to intimidate the people and his political opponents and to popularize extrajudicial killings as a device for building a fascist dictatorship. But in only 14 months he has murdered too many, some 14,000, on mere suspicion as drug users and pushers in urban poor communities. He has gained notoriety for himself as a human rights violator. At the same time, it turns out that he is the protector of his compadre Peter Lim who is one of the biggest drug lords. His son Paolo Duterte has been exposed as a big drug smuggler and a rising drug lord himself.
A Duterte Reader: Critical Essays on Rodrigo Duterte’s Early Presidency
To sharpen the sense of reality of some speculators, I ask the following questions as teasers: What is better proof of consistent struggle by the Left against the Duterte regime than the people’s war along the general line of new democratic revolution under the leadership of the working class and on the basis of the worker-peasant alliance? Among the legal forces of the Left, which organizations have been the earliest in making national democratic demands on the Duterte regime and exposing it as a US-directed puppet regime of big compradors and landlords?

Patuloy na kailangan ang Rebolusyong Kultural
Nagharap ang mga rebolusyonaryong Pilipino ng 1896 ng isang kultura na pambansa, liberal demokratiko at maka-mahirap laban sa kulturang kolonyal, relihiyoso-sektaryo, oskurantista, medyebal at walang pakialam sa mga pang-aagaw at pagpapahirap sa sambayanang Pilipino.

They had to wage a cultural revolution that denounced colonial and feudal injustices and put forward a national and democratic […]
