CAVINTI, Laguna: In a simple ceremony facilitated by the Taytay Municipal Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict, 211 members of Anakpawis withdrew their affiliations from the party-list group and their support to the Communist Party of the Philippines on Sunday, February 26, at Sitio Pyramid, Barangay Dolores, Taytay, Rizal.

Anakpawis, a group claiming to represent workers, peasants, fisherfolk, minorities, urban and rural poor, has been identified by authorities as one of the alleged legal fronts of the CPP and recruitment ground for its armed wing, the New People's Army (NPA). It is also the electoral wing of the Kilusang Mayo Uno and the peasant group Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas.
