"The Aquino regime and the AFP leadership are clearly afraid that the successful relief and rehabilitation efforts being carried out by the revolutionary forces will put to shame the ruling reactionary Aquino regime which has largely failed in addressing the urgent and long-term needs of the disaster victims," said the CPP.
"Malinaw na takot ang rehimeng Aquino at ang pamunuan ng AFP na ang matagumpay na gawaing _relief_ at rehabilitasyon na isinagawa ng rebolusyonaryong pwersa ay magpapahiya sa naghaharing reaksyunaryong rehimeng Aquino na bigung-bigo sa pagharap sa kagyat at pangmatagalang pangangailangan ng mga biktima ng sakuna," anang PKP.
