The organizers call themselves communists, which sounds like an inappropriate name since their movement is rooted in religion. Some of the organizers are for supporting Filipino capitalists. And they believe the distribution of land should be free. They would make the immense Del Monte and Dole farms and into state-owned farms. In areas taken over by the revolutionaries, the guerillas do projects to help the people, such as building an irrigation system, just as guerillas did in China, Cuba and El Salvador.
Many priests work alongside of the guerillas in caring for the needs people.
The people pay voluntary taxes to the guerillas. Movements as this will always arise when people are hungry. When people are hungry there must be change. The U.S. government supports army bases in the Philippines that take up 135,000 acres of rich farm land and has sent aid for insurgents and the Philippine military to fight the revolutionary movement.
