Filipina Freedom Fighters

Marie Claire Magazine did a photo story on the women in the New Peoples Army of The Philippines.
I have not read the article but Guerilla Busfare did a cool write-up on it (with images!).

It is cool to see the NPA getting any exposure in the USA where it is designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.
(It is designated so due to the alleged targeting of US military interests in The Philippines- not due to any Muslim alignment as suggested by Guerrilla Busfare.)

"The current regime of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is Bush-sympathetic and marked as one of the highest human-rights violators since the beginning of her term, it serves many young women no other choice but to join the rebels in the fight to keep the sovereignty of their homeland."
