CPP-NPA are declared as Terrorist Organizations in the US and EU, but not in the Philippines

It is so ironic that both the United States (US) and the European Union (EU) had declared the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and its armed wing, the New People’s Army (NPA) as TERRORIST organizations, but they are NOT officially declared so yet in the very Country they operate, the Philippines.

The EU has declared the CPP-NPA as Terrorists since 2005 while the US did the same in 2017. In the Philippines where the CPP-NPA actually are located, President Rodrido Duterte issued a Proclamation declaring them as Terrorists in 2017.

However, that Proclamation needs to be confirmed the Court to become official, and 3 years later the Court has still not decided on that Proclamation. So we end up in a strange situation where in other Countries the CPP-NPA are declared as Terrorists, but not in the Country where they are exactly.
