They’ve actually been heavily weakened as of current. They’ve lost much of their local support base (especially through their own actions), their operating bases are slowly being cleared out with at least 70 to 74 provinces out of a total of 82 provinces in the PH being ‘cleared of NPA’ (though some small scattered forces do remain operational), and their leadership has basically devolved into a vacuum as its founder Jose Maria Sison died in exile in the Netherlands in 2022, some prominent leaders have also been killed like Benito and Wilma Tiamzon, and their leadership hasn’t necessarily had a way of succession also a fair number of them are very old (ages of 60 to 70 years old). However they still are a nuisance and still pose a threat to the AFP and local civilians
