The Anti-Terrorism Council (ATC) has listed Joma Sison and other 18 alleged ranking members of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) as terrorists.
The designation of the alleged 19 terrorists, listed in the council’s Resolution Number 17 (2021) dated April 21, 2021, authorizes the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) to freeze their assets.
Aside from Joma Sison, also included designated as terrorists are his wife Julieta, Vicente Ladlad, Jorge Madlos, Adelberto Silva, Rey Casambre, Rafael Baylosis, and Wilma and Benito Tiamzon. They are all members of the CPP’s Central Committee.
“The Central Committee is the highest decision- and policy-making body of the CPP and also leads and commands the NPA, its main weapon in attaining the Party’s goal of overthrowing the duly elected government by seizing and consolidating political power through violent means,” the ATC said in a press release published in a local broadsheet.

National Security Adviser Hermogenes Esperon Jr. made a promise on Saturday, May 1, that he will look into the Senate’s call for the removal of Lt. Gen. Antonio Parlade Jr. as a spokesperson of the government’s anti-insurgency task force.
Senators Panfilo Lacson and Franklin Drilon have insisted that the designation of Parlade, commander of the military’s Southern Luzon Command (SoLCom), as a spokesperson of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC), a civilian position, violates the 1987 Philippine Constitution.
“Mayroon nga silang panukala na i-censure na nga nila si Gen. Parlade, ngayon pinapatanggal nila na spokesperson. Mayroon kaming usapan niyan ni Sen. Lacson na titignan ko (They [senators] have a resolution that censures Gen. Parlade, and now they want him out as a spokesperson. Sen. Lacson and I have already talked about it and I will look into it),” said Esperon, vice chairman of the NTF-ELCAC, at
Asia Art Tours Interviews Bandilang Itim: Philippines & Anarchism
Asia Art Tours interviews Bandilang Itim.
To better understand the history of Anarchism in the Philippines and the state terror unleashed by Rodrigo Duterte, we were thrilled to speak with the Bandilang Itim collective.
Asia Art Tours: From this summer of global uprisings, one of the main lessons I took away was the importance of translation. When it comes to Bandilang Itim (a Tagalog translation of ‘Black Flag’) could you let us know (and take as much time as you’d like), historically what are some of the most important abolitionist/anarchist/communist terms that define the leftism of the Philippines?

In recent months, the targets for extrajudicial killings are no longer just drug addicts and pushers, but those who have been “red-tagged” – activists, lawyers, human rights advocates, and labor leaders identified with the Left. President Rodrigo Duterte has declared open season on communists and groups considered as their legal fronts. He has given a shoot-to-kill order on them. Non-combatants are the usual victims of police and military operations with the same “
nanlaban” (they fought back) justification.
Those who have been following the rise of Duterte up close from mayor to president are probably wondering why this is happening. Before he showed loyalty and subservience to Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party, he had a previous association with the “Reds.” This is obvious not just in the pre-election interview with Rappler where he admitted being a lefti
