The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) is a Marxist–Leninist–Maoist party in the Philippines.
Program
The CPP opposes investment from the United States and advocates producing goods in the Philippines instead of importing them. It demands land reform, reduced rent, and higher farm wages.
The CPC supports sabotaging the U.S. military and the US-controlled Philippine military. It opposes the United Nations, IMF, and World Bank.[1]
Structure
National
The Communist Party of the Philippines holds a National Congress once every five years. A majority of regional party committees can request to hold additional congresses. The National Congress elects a Central Committee to serve between congresses. The Central Committee elects a Politburo, Executive Committee, General Secretariat, Chairperson, and vice chairs. The Central Committee meets once every two years.[2]
Regional
Territorial party conferences are held once every three years for regions, once every two years for provinces and districts, and once a year for sections.[2]
Unfair designations as a terrorist organization
The CPP has been unfairly designated as a terrorist organization by bourgeois countries. In December 2017, the Philippine President, Rodrigo Duterte, issued a proclamation declaring the CPP as a "terrorist" organization.[3] The United States designated the CPP as a "foreign terrorist organization" in August 2002.[4] The European Union also designated the CPP as a "foreign terrorist organization" in 2005.[5]
