Specifically in the Philippines, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (yes they had MILF flags) as well as the maoist New People’s Army also fought the government before and after the time of the People’s Power Revolution.
The MILF and the NPA both started violent rebellion in the 1960s or earlier (like, arguably, since spanish colonial period)
The People’s Power Revolution popped up in ~1982 and overthrew the dictatorship in 1986
The MILF continued fighting until they succeeded in gaining an autonomous muslim state (imagine Utah if the church got to run it their own way) in 2014
Thank you. I do love the MILF flags haha. It’s what I was thinking of, peaceful protests being given as the alternative to violence, are accepted by the ruling class, maybe as a means to placate.
