The Armed Forces of the Philippines renewed its call for communist insurgents to surrender on the anniversary of the Communist Party of the Philippines' founding 56 years ago. “Through decisive operations and a whole-of-nation approach, their capabilities have been significantly crippled, with only one weakened guerrilla front set for dismantling,” said AFP Chief-of-Staff General Romeo Brawner Jr. in a statement on Thursday.
” In its own statement, the CPP called on its entire membership and the NPA to “frustrate” the AFP in its efforts to contain the insurgency. “We are determined to frustrate the enemy’s all-out war, recover from our losses, gain new victories and advance the Filipino people’s revolutionary resistance,” it said.
