The Lt. Crispin Tagamolila movement is alive & well!

Lt. Crispin Tagamolila
From the reactionary army to the people's army

Lt. Crispin Tagamolila was an officer of the Philippine Army when he decided to join the New People's Army on March 29, 1971.

He was Finance Officer of the 1st Infantry "Tabak" Division which was then based in Fort Magsaysay, Nueva Ecija and the only assault division of the Philippine Army.

Crispin Tagamolila grew up in Iloilo province. He finished college in Ateneo de Manila before deciding to join the AFP. He used to argue politics with his brother Antonio, who was then an activist and editor-in-chief of the Philippine Collegian, the official student newspaper of the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City.

As a young AFP officer, Lieutenant Tagamolila defended the government and subscribed to "peaceful means of social change." Then he became aware of the corruption in the ruling social system especially when he witnessed how Marcos rigged the 1969 elections. His political consciousness deepened when the Marcos regime unleashed violence on the January 1970 demonstrations that culminated in the First Quarter Storm.
