CPP commemorates Ka Benito and Ka Wilma

Valbuena said, “We remember Ka Benito and Ka Wilma for their selfless and total dedication to the Filipino people’s cause of national and social liberation...They sacrificed all as they performed their duties as leading cadres of the Communist Party of the Philippines. They vowed to fight US imperialism, feudalism and bureaucrat capitalism to the end, and championed the historic mission of the proletariat for socialism and communism.”
The quest to attain justice for Ka Laan and Ka Bagong-Tao and their companions continues.
