"These so-called humanitarian activities conducted by the US military in Albay yesterday are nothing but publicity stunts to make the upcoming large-scale deployment of US troops for military operations and exercises more palatable to the Filipino people," pointed out the CPP.
"Ang tinaguriang makataong aktibidad na isinagawa ng militar ng US kahapon sa Albay ay walang iba kundi palabas na publisidad upang maging katanggap-tangap sa sambayanang Pilipino ang gagawing malakihang pagtatalaga ng tropang US para sa mga operasyon at ehersisyong militar," pagdidiin ng PKP.
