The Philippine Hukbalahap Rebellion

Various revolt movements around the world prove that each of them belongs to its identifiable root. Furthermore, rather than a similar pattern of strategies, techniques, and / or programs used to achieve its ultimate goal, the rebellion is unique according to its nature. That's why each rebel has different characteristics and principles to identify them. In fact, any revolts need to carefully manage these characteristics.

The wartime authorities suggested the emergence of a farmers uprising that began as a communistist, a resistance movement against the occupation forces by the Japanese army during wartime (commonly known as "Fubara hap" or "Fukusu"). The first anti - rollover prevention law against the Philippine Communist Party (PKP) came into effect. It sentenced PKP leaders to death, but execution was not carried out under this law. However, during the presidential election of Ferdinand Marcos in 1946 and 1965, 35 people were executed - those who were convicted mainly by special barbaric crimes. Or, there is a mark "Extreme crime occurs". "

With the emergence of new political forces, this goal has become very complicated. During the war, Hukararahap (People's Army) closely related to the Communist Party of the Philippines (PKP) opposed the occupation of the Philippines in Japan and earned great reputation in the working class of the Philippines and many fields of farmers. In 1946, PKP participated in the election as part of a democratic alliance. However, with the onset of the Cold War, the increase in its political power caused a reaction between the ruling party and the United States, which led to the repression of PKP and its related organizations. In 1948, the PKP began organizing armed conflicts against the government and continued the military presence in the United States. In 1950, PKP founded the People's Liberation Army (Hukbong Mapagpalaya ng Bayan) and mobilized thousands of soldiers in the island. The rebellion continued until 1956 when PKP abandoned the armed struggle
