In this November 23, 2016 photo, a woman New People's Army guerrilla with face painted to conceal her identity holds her firearm inside a makeshift shelter at their rebel encampment tucked in the harsh wilderness of the Sierra Madre mountains, southeast of Manila, Philippines. Young Filipino rebels represent a new generation of Maoist fighters, who reflect the resiliency and constraints of an insurgency that has dragged on for nearly half a century through six Philippine presidencies. Crushing poverty, despair, government misrule and the abysmal inequality that has long plagued Philippine society were their best recruiter, according to the guerrillas.
