Our struggle started in the 1960s when a group of Marxist- Leninists-Maoists led by Professor Jose Maria Sison identified the character of Philippine society as semi-colonial and semi-feudal, and put forward the general line of the national democratic revolution against US imperialism, feudalism and bureaucrat capitalism.
Nag-umpisa ang aming pakikibaka noong 1960s nang tukuyin ng isang Marxista-Leninista-Maoistang grupong pinamumunuan ni Propesor Jose Maria Sison ang katangian ng lipunang Pilipino bilang malakolonyal at malapyudal, at isinulong ang pangkalahatang linya ng pambansang demokratikong rebolusyon laban sa imperyalismong US, pyudalismo at burukrata kapitalismo.
