The People's Democratic Republic of the Philippines[a] is an an embryonic socialist state that seeks to overthrow the semi-feudal, semi-colonial, and bureaucrat capitalist Republic of the Philippines. It is currently led by the Communist Party of the Philippines and its armed wing, the New People's Army. As of 2018, the party has claimed to operate more than 110 guerrila fronts which covers 73 out of 81 Philippine provinces[1], although by 2025, the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP) has claimed that there are no more guerilla fronts.[2]

From the national level of government to the provincial or district level there shall be people’s congresses or conferences. At the lower levels, there shall also be representative governing bodies. At every level, the people’s representatives shall be elected under a system of universal and equal suffrage. The principle of democratic centralism shall be the main organizational principle of the People’s Democratic Republic of the Philippines.

...

When the People‘s Democratic Republic of the Philippines shall have been established, it shall open and maintain diplomatic and trade relations with all countries which respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Filipino people and which engage in such relations for mutual benefit. It shall abide by the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence. All unequal treaties and arrangements with the international bourgeoisie led by U.S. imperialism must be immediately abrogated.
