Filipino anti-PRC poster (2020)
China supports the fascist government of the Philippines in line with its policy of trading with everyone, promoting stability, and not sponsoring revolution. It's understandable that Filipino communists might have a problem with this since they are at war with that government.
This poster is gross though.
Yeah the POGOs item specifically seems... interesting
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_gambling_workers_in_the_Philippines
This poster offers no opinion other than them being an arm of chinese encroachment, so idk what the actual line on them is, but it sorta reads as xenophobic
Kinda reminds me about how some people talk about the Maoist fighters in the country in that if you listened to the people who champion them as “true” communists, you’d think China is the country which empowers the regime, places military bases all over Asia and has a vested interest in keeping the Philippines as a neocolony. The funny thing about that is that the BHB/NPA, in the event it succeeds and establishes a dictatorship of the proletariat, would most likely pursue closer ties to China than the current regime. So the over-fixation some have on China rather than the current leash-holder in Washington is perplexing to me.
Not to say Filipino communists don’t have legitimate gripes with China, given the complex situation with bordering states beyond US saber rattling (look at China’s track record even with other socialist states like Vietnam).
Filipino propaganda is so interesting because they're always trying to be the smol bean underdog despite being the party landing troops on disputed islands and handing out military bases to the evil empire like candy.
This is not filipino government propaganda, this is propaganda from the revolutionary movement. So this is the "party" that is fighting against the things you're mentioning.
Oh no! State owned firms!
reminds me of that highly upvoted comment on reddit from some fillipino talking about how the (((Chinese))) are trying to "infiltrate" south east asia with inbreeding
To counter (((Chinese))) infiltrating our country via getting married and having kids, we must allow the US to turn the areas around their bases into brothels instead.
Some people would really rather live like a medieval peasant under the US than like a king under China
Chinese libs are like that too. Truly the worst.
Ever had lunch at the top of the Park Hyatt in Beijing? Sometimes you can overhear the most amazing Chinese lib conversations. I saw Jack Ma there once too (he was having this weird honey-salmon-biscuit concoction). Used to go there all the time before COVID working on transpacific airline flights. I like the guy I bought a fake Mao poster from better
to be fair, the whole 9-dash line thing (as I understand it) does make it seem like the philippines have legitimate grievances with china as far as territorial waters go, but propaganda like this will probably just fuel sinophobia rather than actually address said grievances.
edit: ~~also the english is a dead giveaway that this is just sinophobic rhetoric aimed at westerners.~~ see comment below
They also have island disputes with Vietnam, Malaysia, and the RoC but it don't see the dehumanized devil claw propaganda for those other claimants.
They can't even kill two birds with one stone with "Chinese imperialism." They have to specify a particular China smh
They don’t seem to specify in Filipino though.
Pretty sure "TSINA" is China.
Yeah, obviously, but they did specify it as PRC in the English version and I don’t think anything in the Filipino version says People’s Republic preceding it.
Probably because those countries have an equivalent military strength (maybe except ROC) whereas China can crush the whole island, so the stakes are higher
Its kinda a repackaging of the Eastern European "we had to ally with the Nazis because muh USSR" type argument.
English is one of the official languages of the Philippines and a large portion of the population speaks it to some degree
thanks, I didnt know that.
the english is a dead giveaway that this is just sinophobic rhetoric aimed at westerners.
Sad there isn't an army of CCP POGOS 
after my capitalist gambling dens 
I guess I'll stick to gacha games instead 
Tbf, the Philippines does speak both Tagalog and English...
Does anyone know what the symbol on her hat is called? I know Anakbanyan uses it and they're super based.
Putang inang mga ultras...
They're always like that....
Enroachment
4 arms for deeply interrelated things that barely warrant separate points, cant waste an arm talking about american imperialism lol
