The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) today released the following statement:
The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) joins the Filipino peasant masses in commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Mendiola Massacre tomorrow. We recall with profound indignation how armed soldiers and police under the command of then Gen. Alfredo Lim and Gen. Ramon Montaño fired at several thousand peasant demonstrators and their supporters among the worker and student sectors. The firing lasted for several minutes after which at least 13 people lay lifeless on the pavement just a few meters from the historic Mendiola bridge. Hundreds of others were wounded.
