Morning Star.png Communists to join Philippines Government if US pulls out Troops The Morning Star, London, 19 May 2016 The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) welcomed president-elect Rodrigo Duterte's offer of four cabinet posts yesterday - on condition that US troops leave the country. Following his election on May 9, Mr Duterte said he may offer it the cabinet posts of agrarian reform, environment, social welfare and labour. The party said: "The CPP and the revolutionary forces welcome the possibility of joining presumptive president Duterte in an alliance government," the party said, "whether in the form of assigning cabinet positions to the CPP or its endorsees or some other more radical form of unity government." It said any alliance should be based on principles such as social justice and national sovereignty, including an end to the presence of US military forces fighting other guerilla groups. The Maoist CPP and its armed wing, the New People's Army, have waged a guerilla war against the government since 1969.
