Early morning of December 26, New People’s Army (NPA) in Bicol region showcased 21-gun salute as tribute to Jose Maria Sison, the founding chairperson of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) Central Committee.
"We gather today not just to mourn but to pay tribute."
In his last days in a hospital in The Netherlands, CPP founding chairman Jose Maria Sison remained optimistic, saying that the current situation in the Philippines will remain a fertile ground to advance people’s fight.
As millennials and Gen Z are generations raised in the age of the Internet, generations constantly subjected to the aspirations of popular culture – the culture of instant gratification, the cult of consumerism, there is an urgent need to turn to revolutionary writings like that of Sison not only as a way to counteract the dominant consumerist culture, but to regain a sense of radicalism unsullied by the passing fads and distractions of the present digital age.
