	The uninterrupted revolution in the Philippines (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Imperialist domination and the persistence of feudal survivals in Philippine society are the causes of this underdevelopment.
		The central objective of the agrarian policy of the party of the proletariat is to intensify the class struggle in the countryside: between the old and new type of landlords and the emerging rural bourgeoisie on the one hand, and the rural proletariat and the vast mass of poor peasants on the other.
		Though commercialisation in Philippine agriculture is now more or less generalised, there are still a big number of the poor and middle peasants who are still trapped in subsistence or near-subsistence farming, including those who take a part or all of their produce to the market for the sake of exchanging it for consumption goods.

	COUNTRY PROFILE: PHILIPPINES
		Environmental Factors: The Philippines is prone to natural disasters, particularly typhoons, floods, landslides, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and tsunamis, lying as it does astride the typhoon belt, in the active volcanic region known as the “Pacific Ring of Fire,” and in the geologically unstable region between the Pacific and Eurasian tectonic plates.
		The Philippines also suffers major human-caused environmental degradation aggravated by a high annual population growth rate, including loss of agricultural lands, deforestation, soil erosion, air and water pollution, improper disposal of solid and toxic wastes, loss of coral reefs, mismanagement and abuse of coastal resources, and overfishing.
		The Philippines is the second largest producer of geothermal power in the world after the United States, and geothermal power accounts for about 50 percent of power generation from domestic sources followed by hydropower, which accounts for about 33 percent of power generation from domestic sources.

	The Left and Democratisation in the Philippines
		The Marxist—Leninist Party of the Philippines (MLPP) which broke away from the CPP in 1997, is not really rejectionist — in fact they would say that they are the genuine reaffirmists in the sense that they stick to Marxism—Leninism—Mao Zedong Thought.
