The NPA didn’t succeed in the revolution, but they still provide a lot of support to rural population, in healthcare notably. We have to give them that.
I don’t have communist friends in the Philippines, so I don’t have the insights that you got, most of what I know about them is from the documentaries “Inside the New People’s Army” and “Revolution Selfie”, which might present a idealised view of their revolution. But I know that their split with PKP was rather dirty, and the bombing Plaza Miranda was a terrible accelerationist move.
Other than their support to the rural population, I appreciate their effort to try to preserve the environment from companies known to disregard it by sabotaging their operations, and also their support for LGBT rights.
I’m open to hearing more about the criticism Filipino communists have towards them.
