The Philippine ruling classes are undergoing acute crisis. This is manifest in the increasingly antagonistic split between the top national political dynasties in the ruling coalition -- the Marcoses and the Dutertes. This instability is a cause for worry for US imperialism because the country is in the front line of its first island chain strategy of warmongering against China.

Last February 5, a total of 215 lawmakers in the Philippine House of Representatives signed an impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte. While congress ultimately voted to remove Duterte from office, it is worth noting that Marcos Jr. carefully stalled and navigated the impeachment proceedings, ensuring that his administration had secured the military’s loyalty and defused tensions to avoid alarming foreign investors, all under the watchful eye of his US imperialist backers. In the end however, it was not Marcos Jr.’s political calculus but the sheer force of the people’s outrage that made Duterte’s impeachment inevitable.

The Filipino masses, forged in the fires of struggle and driven by revolutionary fury, march into 2025 with an unbreakable resolve to resist the oppressive rule of the Marcos-Duterte regime and advance the fight for national liberation. Revolutionary forces under the banner of the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) rally alongside the Filipino people to confront the worsening crises of the semicolonial and semifeudal Philippine society. Consistent with the call of the CPP, they brace themselves for a year marked by intensified struggle against systemic corruption, economic oppression, and state terror under the US-backed Marcos Jr. regime.

General Romeo Brawner Jr.’s recent statement on the 56th anniversary of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) is a desperate attempt to undermine the revolutionary movement’s resilience. His assertion that the New People’s Army (NPA) has only “one weakened guerrilla front” is not just misleading but deliberately crafted to bolster the illusion of the Armed Forces of the Philippines’ (AFP) supposed success in “ending armed struggle.”
Marcos-Duterte conflict only serves US imperialist warmongering agenda

The intensifying political feud between the Marcos and Duterte factions is being paraded as a spectacle for public consumption, serving to further entrench the interests of the ruling class. This conflict is in reality, a maneuverer that serves to divert the masses from the deeper political and military machinations of US imperialism. As tensions between the US and China escalate in the region, the ruling elites’ scramble for power ahead of the 2025 midterm elections and the eventual 2028 presidential race – becomes a convenient smokescreen to deflect attention from US imperialist warmongering versus China.
