With the remaining 24 guerilla fronts, 19 of which are weakened and inactive, this leaves the Communist Party with five (5) fronts to pursue its violent means of achieving political objectives. With the relentless efforts of the government security forces to subdue insurgency, the CPP found its lower politico-military organs on the run, therefore incapable of implementing party programs, the lifeblood of its existence.
