The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) urged the Filipino people to push for the repeal of the US-RP Mutual Defense Treaty of 1951 and the pullout of all American military troops in the Philippines in order to ease military and diplomatic tensions over the Scarborough Shoal and Spratly Islands, and pave the way for the peaceful resolution of the conflict and build mutually beneficial relations with both China and the US.

The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) lambasted the Aquino and US governments for provoking conflicts in the South China Sea for the past two years by “issuing bellicose anti-China statements, conducting naval manuevers and power projection operations right next to the disputed areas, and increasing US military presence in the Philippines.“
“It is a patent lie by the US imperialists and their puppets in the Aquino regime to claim that the ongoing Balikatan exercises (US-RP joint military exercises) have nothing to do with the South China Sea conflict,” said the CPP.
