The HUKBALAHAP (Hukbong Bayan Laban sa Hapon, or Peoples Army Against the Japanese) was the Biggest Guerrilla force in the Philippines during WW2.
Established by the Communist and Socialist Party, they are often known as the 'Singing Army' because of their habit of going into battle with guitars to heighten up the spirits of their fighters.
They continued fighting the US-Backed 3rd Republic until the late 60s, when a new Communist Party was founded, ushering in the Formation of the NPA.
