The Maoist-inspired Communist Party of the Philippines celebrated its 37th anniversary on December 2005. It marks a long history of violence, terror, and instability in the archipelagic country of 87 million people, causing thousands of casualties among government troops, insurgents, and including civilians. This study seeks to find a lasting solution that will finally bring to a close the final chapter to insurgency in the country. It was approached from a historical point of view by studying the events that lead to the birth of the movement in 1932 until its defeat in 1954. A new chapter of the Maoist insurgency started in 1969 and this movement emerged into a formidable guerrilla force that became the primary threat to the nation’s security. This paper tries to analyze how that insurgency persisted to challenge the government this far and what went wrong with the government’s response. It will attempt to answer the primary question: How to defeat the communist insurgency?
The Philippines is the only country in Southeast Asia beset with a long running communist insurgency problem. Since 1969, the Maoist-based Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and its military armed force, the New People's Army (NPA), have been fighting to overthrow the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP) and establish a Marxist state. On the other hand, the GRP, under five (5) administrations, has been fighting the Communist insurgents, with so many lives and resources sacrificed and wasted, but to no avail. After more than three (3) decades of fighting, neither side can claim victory. For the last 35 years, the government has been fighting the Communist insurgents, so many lives and resources were sacrificed and wasted but the solution to the problem is not in sight. After the end of the Cold War and the collapse of Communism, the Communist insurgents in the Philippines are still a potent force and a main threat to the country's national security.
In the post Cold War and the collapse of communism in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, the communist insurgents in the Philippines are still a potent force and the main threat to the county's national security. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the issues that brought about the resurgence of the communist insurgency and the counterinsurgency measures undertaken by the government. Economic disparity and injustice are major reasons for people to take up arms against the government. Unless these are resolved, the insurgency problem will continue to persist. A purely military solution to the problem will not solve the communist insurgency in the Philippines. While the CPP is the most potent threat to the security of the Republic of the Philippines, it is not yet in a position to win militarily against the Armed Forces of the Philippines. In the same manner, the Armed Forces of the Philippines could not totally defeat the insurgents for as long as the basic issues that attract or draw the people to the communist movement are not addressed by the government.

This book is about the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and its guerrilla army. Its objective is to offer the reader a close-up look and analysis of the revolution and serves as a case study of the inner workings of one of the most successful communist revolutionary movements.
The Philippine communist revolutionary movement is a historical relic, the exception rather than the rule. While much of Asia has opted for capitalism over communism, the idea of a workers2 paradise persists within the Philippines2 rural heartlands and on university campuses alike. Established over 37 years ago at the height of Mao2s Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, the Communist Party of the Philippines continues its armed quest for state power. Regarded as the longest-running communist insurgency in Asia, the conflict between the Philippine government and the communist insurgents has claimed the lives of an estimated 40,000+. This thesis will examine aspects of the Philippine government, the Communist Party of the Philippines, and its armed wing, the New People2s Army in an attempt to explain why the Philippine communist insurgency remains a serious threat to the government and has not significantly declined in light of a long history of democratic rule in the Philippines. Analysis of the Philippine communist insurgency will contribute to our overall understanding of why this particular communist insurgency has survived where others failed and may provide some insight to help the Philippine government identify and construct a counterinsurgency strategy to successfully eliminate the Maoist threat.
"The authors offer original research on cadres in NGOs, transnational networks, urban and village arenas, and among '"indigenous"' and multi-ethnic populations. By exploring the frictions and shifts in allegiance, they capture the dynamics of "'relational work"' that shapes a social movement. ""Brokering a Revolution fills an important gap in the literature on the CPP (Communist Party of the Philippines)--our knowledge of how the CPP actually ''does it' within concrete, real-time locales."--" --Joel Rocamora.
