The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) today said New People's Army (NPA) units and mass organizations in Bicol, Eastern Visayas and Northeast Mindanao are currently mobilizing their forces to give priority to assisting in disaster relief operations in the face of the massive flooding and landslides following several days of rains in those regions.
"Given the severity of the damage wrought by these recent disasters upon the masses, the revolutionary forces in flood- and landslide-affected areas are prioritizing disaster and relief operations in order to ensure the safety of communities and help affected families recover from the calamities," said the CPP.
The CPP said the massive flooding and landslides once again underscore the need to oppose environmentally destructive large-scale mining and logging operations which have caused massive forest denudation and siltation of waterways.
