I agree that the AFP and PNP are already losing the war because they are the ones who let it happen. Why? Because most of the officials in control of the AFP and PNP are at the back of the New People’s Army group this is why this said revolutionary group is very confident in doing revolutionary activities in our country. If they don’t count someone in authority they will be not as confident as what they are right at this moment but because of the power given directly by the officials from AFP and PNP, they manage to do those revolutionary acts. Second, how can the AFP and PNP groups destroy the NPA if they lack funds and budget in buying supplies, guns, riffles, tanks, patrol cars, etc., knowing that these materials are the major needs of the said groups in fighting against a revolutionary group or what we know as the NPA. On the other hand, I commend the efforts and the sacrifices of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and of the Philippine National Police. Even though there are a lot of issues being battled to them, they still do their jobs. I just hope that those officials belong to either AFP or PNP, will stop supporting the members of NPA. It is still unforgivable to support that group in spite of the benefits and profits that you get.
Why and how are the AFP and PNP losing the war?
First, the AFP and PNP are the oppressive instruments of the US and other foreign monopoly interests and the local exploiting classes of big landlords, while the NPA fights for the national and democratic rights of the working class, peasantry and the rest of the Filipino people. Second, the AFP and PNP are hated by the people more than ever before because they commit gross human rights violations, reek with corruption and act like the private armies of the Arroyo ruling group which has used them for electoral fraud and for the repression of the people and the legal opposition through intimidation, extra judicial killings and abductions.
Third, the ever rising expenditures for the AFP and PNP are aggravating the economic crisis and are drawing resources away from social services like education, health and housing and from economic development, thus incurring the anger of the broad masses of the people.
Fourth, the rottenness of the AFP and the PNP is well exposed by their willful violations of human rights, corruption, enjoyment of impunity and fractious condition due to subservience to conflicting political groups and involvement in criminal syndicates. Fifth, the AFP and PNP top dogs want to win a war of quick decision by deploying large units as well as special operations teams for intelligence work, postwar and combat, while the NPA pursues the strategic line of protracted people's war, accumulating armed strength in the countryside and encircling the cities until the time comes for seizing the cities on a nationwide scale. In terms of number of full time armed personnel, training and equipment, the AFP and PNP may be considered superior to the NPA at the ratio of 10 against 1 at the strategic level. But the people are on the side of the NPA. They render the AFP and PNP deaf and blind. The NPA adheres strictly to the line of intensive and extensive guerrilla warfare on the basis of an ever widening and deepening mass base. Thus, it is superior to the AFP and PNP at the ratio of 10 against 1 at the tactical level.
