The Communist Party of the Philippines (Marxism-Leninism-Mao Tse Tung Thought) is a revolutionary proletarian party that looks upon the legacies of past Philippine rebellions and revolutions and of the theories of Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Tse Tung. It assists the progress of theory and practice in the world proletarian revolution that is guided by Marxism-Leninism-Mao Tse Tung Thought (Preamble, Constitution of the Communist Party of the Philippines, 1968) [1].
"So long as it resolutely, militantly and thoroughly carries out its ideological, political and organizational building, the Communist Party of the Philippines is certain to lead the broad masses of the Filipino people of various nationalities and ethno-linguistic communities to total victory in the national democratic revolution against US imperialism and the local reactionaries; and bring about the start of the socialist revolution." (Armando Liwanag, Chairman, Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Philippines)
