Sinas said the communist groups are known to launch high-profile attacks to “drumbeat the commemoration of significant dates in the underground movement” over the past five decades.
“The recent rash of hostile actions initiated by the CPP-NPA-NDFP (National Democratic Front of the Philippines) is all part of that long vicious cycle and 50-year tradition of violence of the local communist movement,” he said.
