Communist Party of the Philippines

The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) is an organization founded in 1968 that advocates for revolutionary change through armed struggle and political activism. It seeks to establish a socialist state by promoting land reform, social justice, and workers’ rights, primarily representing marginalized Filipino groups. The CPP operates clandestinely and is considered a terrorist organization by the Philippine government and some others due to its history of armed conflict with state forces. Its goal is to overthrow the current government system and replace it with a communist society, emphasizing principles of Marxism-Leninism.
